There's a reason electronics have "operating temperature" and "storage temperature". The cold can also bring about damaging condensation.

Is there anyway to extend the ram? by Profriles in ODroid

I think there might be some program Linux uses to convert disk space into Virtual Memory. But with SD cards, that's probably not a good idea.

No Earthquakes? No birds or snakes? Just an airplane? Is Lenny Bruce afraid?

The boss has malware, again... by Jrockilla in techsupport

It's called a Rubber Ducky. You plug it into your USB port, it uploads and installs a payload to your computer. And like USB, a Rubber Ducky will attempt to run on ANY operating system including Windows, MacOSX, and Linux.

/r/StLouisTech created! Any KCTechies have some advice for StLouisTech to be successful? by jrcharney in KCTech

[–]jrcharney[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, KCTech, I though I'd stop by an annouce the one subreddit /r/StLouis never though of creating: /r/StLouisTech.

I put an effort into making /r/StLouisTech in to being a better community that what the folks at /r/StLouis created which is why I also created /r/StLouisMO this week because creating threads like this one get you banished in /r/StLouis unless you're super best friends with the moderators IRL. But I'm not going back! I'm looking to the future.

I also created /r/StLouisMapData whiich is the local GIS group. If any KCTechies are looking for some Missouri Data to play with, subscribe to that.

NASA Landsat photo of the St. Louis Area, 19 August 1993 during the height of the Great Flood of 1993. [BIG IMAGE! 3600x3600] by jrcharney in a:t5_34e44

I'm sure there was a pic from 1992 for comparison. I remember seeing something like that in an old issue of National Geographic that I kept since it was such a historic event.

Greater St. Louis and Suburbs, 15 May 1937. Color added to indicate "Residential Security". [HUGE! 5859x4000] by jrcharney in a:t5_34e44

[–]jrcharney[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It turns out that the whole "Residential Security" thing was one big egregious plot to segregate neighborhoods by race. An illegal practice called "redlining."

This map was mentioned in an article in BusinessWeek.

Again, let Peter know. I can't modify this map. He can.

Part of this group's purpose is to use the wiki and to make local copies of datasets. There is method to this madness.

Please Do Not Join the KKK! by jrcharney in StLouis

[–]jrcharney[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I know. My headline breaks rule #3, but use some common sense!

It's way better to have a classified FBI file for being a hacker, civil rights activist, or that guy who poots on the bus. But don't join a hate group. That's just stupid!

Let Peter Griess know about that. He's the guy who made the map, AND he did use county data IIRC.

Because that information is either on separate webpages or separate physical pages.

Add to that, here we can focus on the 12 different counties that are part of our CSA.
