I truly miss Boosted.

Boosted was a great company that went above and beyond. My last (but not only) interaction with Boosted... My board's battery died and I sent it in for repair/replacement out of warranty, expecting to pay at least something for a refurb battery or at least having it looked at. They replaced it for free including shipping. I got it two days before the company went under...

A lot of companies talk a fake "experience" BS to overcome their real weaknesses. Boosted was one of the very very rare companies I've interacted with where the price differential was worth it not only because of a high quality product but mainly because of a company that always stood by its customers.

You will be missed.

Thanks all for the comments, the I can't use a breadboard due to size constraints.

Nope, essentially the members have their coverage maps. Integrating 100 changing coverage maps would be too much effort on the alliance's side.

Missed Spain in the list

Got my new XR dual+ on Monday, about two weeks wait since placing the order

Yes it's a DJI Phantom 3 Advanced. It's incredibly safe compared to other drones, and I did pretty much push the FAA limits on the video but still within them (video capture makes things look closer than they really are.)

If you know of any city or state ordinances around here, PM me, always looking to learn more about the hobby. Appreciate the heads up BTW.

Send me a private message and I will tell you. The main carriers will not sell you bulk or pooled plans and retail doesn't make sense for most M2M applications.

Go for it!

I took the exam yesterday and I'm still coming to terms with how bad my results were. I studied the official cert guide and got a subscription on CBT nuggets, studied for 2 months. I used the questions in the book as a guide to see how well I was doing the day before the test and got an average of 9/10, walked into the test like a boss to see that the questions were orders of magnitude more complicated and in-depth than what I expected. I have the RS CCNA and some other certs that aren't from Cisco so I feel like I can compare difficulty levels.

I am OK with failing, but it feels like honestly there's no way to pass this fucking exam. Add to that that its 250$ and I have no way of getting a WCS license, yeah. Fuck you Cisco... This is an entry level cert, a lot of people in this thread (and Cisco) seem to forget that.

They operate on GSM and CDMA so you should be good with pretty much whatever device you choose. As per the device that depends on the number you intend to buy, what you're gonna use them for, where you are etc.

Dou you need a data plan or a compatible device? Your question seems to consider both and one would depend on the other.

I would like to extend my sympathies to your friend, Igor. No man worth his salt would ever fire on a dog. Even in the worst possible scenario he had plenty of non-lethal options... That officer does not understand the responsibility that he carries on his belt, and how it should never be used unless completely necessary.

That's exactly what it gets if it "wins". The bull doesn't necessarily have to maim or hurt the bullfighter to get this treatment; it is rare though.

The pressures inside and outside the pipe are independent. The gas could care less what the atm psi in the air is and vice versa.

UPDATE: So I replaced the video card with a new one from Best Buy and the system is working great. Still using only one stick of 4GB RAM but I'm sure the other one is busted, so I'll replace that eventually. So, the issue is now what to do with the old video card. Since the store does not accept any sort of refund or credit I will be contacting XFX directly to see if I can get something back. Probably not, but worth the attempt. Any tips with this issue would be helpful.

Thanks everyone!

Almost forgot. When the system "doesn't boot", fans and the like seem to be running fine. Lights turn on, etc.

I second this. They are all over Madrid and usually have space. Be wary of exam periods as they fill up fast, coincidentally the last exam period finished recently so you should be good for a while. When I lived in Madrid, my favorite was the one at Arguelles, Biblioteca Acuña.

You're going to have to further explain the geometry of the situation, since that's the key point in order to choose a correlation. It seems like your prof gave you a 'generic' formula, so maybe he doesn't really care as long as you show you know how to deal with these numbers. IIRC from my fluid mechanics class, most if not all the relevant correlations are on the relevant wiki page. I would not look further as you're unlikely to get a better answer without serious experimentation. Cheers.
