.Scott's latest activity

When last I soared, it was in a Schweizer 2-22 - 3 or 4 decades ago. Sail planes are generally aerodynamically left-right symmetric, so...

I can certainly make a computer claim to have qualia - that behavior is easy to replicate. But saying that is the source of actual...

From looking at typical shelf support pins, it looks like the supporting part (usually flat) extends out about the same amount as the...

For the most part, the load will be applied as a shear force - which is not dependent on the length of the pin. However, as a practical...

A vertical load applied to a shelf supported by four pins (one on each corner) will be distributed among those pins in proportion to the...

I wouldn't use "stern" for this. "Stern" describes something that functions as a stern - not just its position. If you put a boat into...

I mean, I guess that makes sense. In the future, any data transplanted from an archaic security protocol would have to be treated as...

I meant your "They are likely already carrying out “store now, decrypt later” attacks and collecting encrypted data, just waiting for...
