Do-it-yourself UPS
Giampiero writes "Over at dansdata.com some guy named Dan creates a UPS out of some spare parts. To sum it up, "if you're looking for an industrial-capacity UPS solution, and don't like the prices of the off-the-peg options, it might be easier than you think to roll your own."" Of course you can mentally substitute U.S. 110 volts for Australian 220 volts wherever necessary...

Suckeeeiiitt biznatches!
I had sex with my asian girlfriend last night.
So so tight. A little dark, a little skin, a simple hymen sin.
I guess it was just me...
Yeah, I agree with you...I was in the mood for a bit of trolling.. :/
"We don't want any fried ./ers"
Really? I'd love to see a massive winnowing of the ranks.
such a fine troll and a the work of an AC...*sigh*
DEATH TO AMERICA
boom boom boom boom boom
thats the sound of more cities falling
Really, I love fried /.er's, with mashed taters and corn. mmmmmmmmmhh.
Although, the smell is hard to get rid of.
Hey, you forgot the <whine> </whine> tags!
bridge rectifier!
Fuck, yea, man. I'd do the UPS guy any day of the week.
I am interested in your newsletter or idea, may I enroll a subscription?
But, don't get all crazy on the Muslim thing, just quick fry the ones that wear those stupid turbans... we all know that those are the terrorists!
Fucking pansy leftist commy "democrats" who want to sell our country for campaign contributions. You fucking idiots bitch about Bush and his oil ties, howabout Clinton and his nuclear secrets for campaign money ties? (oh, sorry, that is just heresay...) Just remember how you voted when the Chinese nuke your kids.
DYI?? Do Yourself In?
You really think this was great? I thought it was anti-clamatic, and lacked a coherent plot. I give it a 2/5, just for the effort.
i think you're just a fucking moron.
Only problem with this UPS thing, is that I'd have to shutdown my computer to put it in! And lose my uptime, no way!
Besides, I don't use electricity anyway. It's all coming from monopolistic power companies that don't opensource their generators. My computer runs completely on GNUicity (power is generated everytime RMS blows a fuse). I guess that makes my system GNU/GNU/Linux. Or would that be GNU/Linux/GNU?
Have you read my journal today?
Whore.

You wouldn't want a person without a CS degree writing software; we shouldn't have folks without EE degrees designing power supplies.
That's a pretty ignorant attitude. Plenty of people professionally write software without a CS degree (either they have some unrelated degree, or no degree at all). Do you think everyone developing the Linux kernel has a CS degree? Not even close. The fact is, programming isn't all that uncommon of a hobby, and people can get started at surprisingly young ages. It doesn't take long for them to get to the point where they're qualified to write good software if they do things right.
The statement is more true for "non-EEs shouldn't be designing power supplies", but still false.
