The dump load for one of my wind turbines is a pair of 22Ω resistors recovered from one of CERN's "free for all" scrap piles :-)

Would it make more sense to just dive into the middle and see what converges out then?

What put me off it is it just kind of reads like a rambling stoner conversation.

Do they talk about the time lost to RTCs?

How much time do you "lose" due to speed limits?

Maybe doing something similar with a spectrogram would work? Two spectrograms, one delayed slightly with respect to the other, and subtract one from the other, and you might see bright spots that appear where the sound changes.

To give you a sense of scale, in 1963 when the first PDP8 was launched at $27k, here in the UK the very first JCB 3C backhoe loader was launched at around £2500 - roughly a quarter of the price of a PDP8 in real terms, or about three year's salary for its driver.

So think in terms of how much "You know what? It'd save us so much time and money to just buy ourselves one of *these* things" you could buy yourself with the money :-)

"Caveats: - Outside LIDAR coverage (most of Scotland and Wales) it falls back to a synthetic horizon (less accurate)"

So, "any address in the most of the southern half of Britain"?

I'd like it if it would actually show me how much sun it thinks I'd get at the postcode I put in. I've got about a third of an acre of garden in a 6 acre field to play with, before I start having to dig up roads. I can afford to be quite free and easy with placement ;-)

Apple IIs weren't really a thing over here although the very first home computer I ever used was an Apple II belonging to a friend of my mother's - Tony van der Kuyl, father of video games magnate Chris van der Kuyl ;-)

There's a big custom chip made by GEC Plessey that has a small flash chip beside it, but it's totally undocumented. They also make the custom chips in the door, window switch, and seat outstations. I found some very very general documentation about them but nothing enough to start picking the firmware apart.

Refitting is the reverse of removal.

Yes, I have actually already done this.

A very long time ago, a guy I used to work with was porting a sales and stock control database he'd written on the Commodore PET to a PC. By then he had a 286 with a 20MB hard disk and 2MB of RAM to play with - whopping stuff! - but his original program would assemble up a query routine, and transmit it to the 6502 in the PET disk drives over HPIB. Then it would chunter away discovering the records it needed to construct a reply while the host computer could continue working as normal. It was absolutely genius stuff, and it made the whole system seem really responsive even though in reality it was pretty slow.

I was literally just this afternoon telling someone about TIWWW and posting them some favourites.

Alcohol is the solvent. It dissolves the problem into a solution.

"Yeah. This is a bottle episode."
