    Dell Hell

    Dell's warranty terms specifically exclude the OS. I guess that unless you can make a lot of noise, they're going to ignore you. Sorry, but your available options are going to cost money. If you can find a Dell certified tech nearby, if he/she can state that Dell's tech support screwed your...

    Yep. A leaky one.

    Hidden stealth aircraft antenna

    Shows what I know about individual aircraft. I didn't know that it didn't have an aluminum skin.

    Hidden stealth aircraft antenna

    True, but that's a bit pedantic. I knew what @weirdjim meant: the metal fuselage would shield or reflect most of the signal. Maybe it should be a called a "resonant cavity with random slot aperatures and a spirographic radiation pattern." I'll let you figure out the resonant frequency(ies). :)...

    The fun kind of power outage

    Glad you're able to work, by the way. We've had that happen as well. What's really fun is when you lose a phase and one of the other phases "ghosts" up to some high voltage. Our fluorescent lights absolutely hated that one. We had to replace quite a few ballasts. They were really, really bright...

    The fun kind of power outage

    What brand? I'm radio, but I'm not sure my Nautels could do that. :)

    Aircraft Spruce IT problem

    Sounds like it's saving your cart in cookies on each local device.

    Electric Airplanes?

    If you read up on lithium-sulfur, there are still very big problems with it. The number of charge-discharge cycles is not good at present, so they're banking on a few engineering breakthroughs to get around these limitations. I don't know anything about the companies that are trying to put...

    Electric Airplanes?

    Yeah, I saw that when it was first posted. Made me shed a tear or two.

    Electric Airplanes?

    Hmm. No, they're not saying. (That I could find, anyway.) It's a Siemens system, so maybe Siemens is doing the batteries? Edit: incidentally, the electrical system is only 55KW -- not quite 74 horsepower. Not exactly going to climb like a homesick angel ...

    WHEN is Rotax going to add 2 more cylinders to make a 180-200 HP game changer? :rockon:

    Electric Airplanes?

    I obviously misunderstood your point. Apologies. (Stephen hangs his head in shame.)

    Electric Airplanes?

    I'll bite my tongue and avoid saying anything about the source of the info in that link. Greenpeace, for one, has been complaining for years that the Chinese are notorious for playing the numbers and pretending that they're doing more than they actually are. (For example, during peak demand, the...

    Electric Airplanes?

    Yeah, gigas, not megas. Or, as Doc Brown called them in Back To The Future, "Jiggawatts." Fixed.

    Electric Airplanes?

    There's no "somehow" to it. No need to ask them, either. The stats are available online. They're building a bunch of new power plants to meet demand. The original plans a few years ago called for 1,100 GW new generation, they've already upped that to 1,300 GW (that's as of early 2019, and it'll...

    Electric Airplanes?

    Agreed. The basic theory is intriguing, but there's quite a ways to go before they're ready for real life.
