  1. Re:Spice model on HP Creates First Hybrid Memristor Chip · · Score: 1

    I thought it was funny, considering it's not even available yet and someones already asking about such a thing :P Don't worry, some of us do know use programs like pspice and think it's funny.

  2. Should be fine on Recovering Moldy Electronics? · · Score: 1

    When I used to work at a company that assembled electronic prototype boards, we would always wash the circuit boards with water and soap. If you can, open up to expose the electronics, make sure it is clean in there, and let everything dry completely. If everything is completely dry, it should run fine.

  3. Re:You get what you pay for! on Extended Gmail Outage Frustrates Admins · · Score: 1

    5 grand a year for +100 employees for all the things Google Apps provies? Sounds cheap to me, especially when you're paying at least $3,000,000 for those employees to work for you.

  4. Still use both Chrome and FF on Google's Chrome Declining In Popularity · · Score: 1

    For whatever reason, Flash lags to high hell on Chrome for me. I still use it though because Firefox crashes randomly. It's probably my computer, but oscillating between browsers is fine with me...

  5. Re:Dump the Monitors and It'll Catch On on How Nvidia Wants To Bring 3D Glasses Back · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem I have seen is that your eyes have difficulty focusing on images that are within an inch of your eyeball. Try your damn hardest to focus on the frame of your glasses. I dont know, maybe this problem has already been solved.

  6. Re:Safety ? on Breakthrough In Use of Graphene For Ultracapacitors · · Score: 1

    If you wanted to replicate that internal resistance, put a high wattage resistor in series with it...

  7. Re:Encyclopedias as sources on Encyclopedia Britannica to Take User Contributions · · Score: 1

    Encyclopedias are used for their references for assignments. Everyone knows this.

  8. Re:Open Source (sorta?) on Encyclopedia Britannica to Take User Contributions · · Score: 1

    Step 4 was not necessary. Damn some people are so obsessed with that joke that they will insert even when it has no place being in there.

  9. Re:There are very few RISC, but there are some on RISC Vs. CISC In Mobile Computing · · Score: 1

    The AVR32 is a RISC Processor that is competing for the mobile embedded market.

  10. Sell it on Changing a School's Tech Disposal Policy? · · Score: 1

    My community college had to get rid of a bunch of Apple 2's, old macs, monitors and whatnot, so they sold it publicly for $2-5 each, they were gone within 3 hours (this was quite a bit of stuff).

  11. Great Resources on Books On Electronics For the Lay Programmer? · · Score: 1

    http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/ Great site, use it all the time as a reference. Also I suggest, if you are actually serious about learning electronics, visiting several electronics based forums and just reading up on the latest posts. You pick up random information that helps build up the diversity of your knowledge. http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/ http://www.electro-tech-online.com/ http://www.dutchforce.com/~eforum/index.php There's more, but that is the main ones for me (not including AVRFreaks hehe).

  12. Makes the economy more efficient on Free Open Source Software Is Costing Vendors $60 Billion? · · Score: 1

    By taking out unnecessary business costs, you put the revenue somewhere else where it actually matters. You end up with both free software and $60 Billion dollars somewhere else, instead of just $60 billion dollars.

  13. Re:It is not a source... on Sacha Baron Cohen Wikipedia Entry Creates Circular References · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I wish people would use the damn references section at the bottom of the Wiki pages.

  14. Not about the privacy on Google Sued Over Privacy Invasion On Street View · · Score: 1

    It's about the free moneyz.

  15. Big Bad Company on Apple, New York City In Legal Dispute Over Logo · · Score: 1

    And the microsoftification begins.

  16. Re:There should be a law on ISPs Using "Deep Packet Inspection" On 100,000 Users · · Score: 1

    As long as the right to privacy is considered a fundamental right, the 9th amendment will protect us, which means libertarian philosophy doesn't interfere with our right to privacy.

  17. Re:Put this in perspective of the Company on What Kind of Alternate Business Models Could ISPs Use? · · Score: 1

    I never said it wasn't fair, just that it won't be helping your average slashdotter.

  18. Put this in perspective of the Company on What Kind of Alternate Business Models Could ISPs Use? · · Score: 1

    The only way any company will follow this is if they make at least the same amount of profit that they did before. Now tell me, if they need to make the same amount of money as before, and all these people who barely use their internet are paying so little for it, who do you think will be paying the rest of that needed profit? The only thing that comes from this is rediculous bills for high bandwidth users and small costs for your average e-mail and website user.

  19. Prices need to go up much further on VeriSign Jacks Up .com, .net Prices To the Max · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am amazed that such a valuable commodity is so cheap still, especially when the low price only benefits those who purchase massive amounts of domains. I wish the prices were at least $20 a year.

  20. Homework shouldn't be counted towards a grade anyw on Student Faces Expulsion for Facebook Study Group · · Score: 1

    I have found that at the college level, required homework results in a lot of people who learn very little but force their way through an assignment by any means they can, often not learning a thing. This results in a false grade that doesn't accurately reflect a person's abilities. The best kind of homework is optional homework, as it serves as guidelines to what you need to learn for testing and is as cheat proof as it gets.

  21. Greedy on Amazon's Kindle Sells Out In 5.5 Hours · · Score: 1

    400 dollars for a mono-color LCD screen? 10 bucks per book? Why does everything I read about this scream greedy. Slap some DRM on top of this, and you have me saying hell no. Awesome idea, but best suited for a company who's willing to do it right.

  22. Re:as if exploding batteries wasn't enough on Ultracapacitors Soon to Replace Many Batteries? · · Score: 1

    Ignorance at its finest.

  23. Re:Saw those...took me two seconds to no the diffe on Wal-Mart's Terrible Nintendo Wii Knock-Offs · · Score: 1

    Well, in this case you aren't the parent, so you don't have to worry about that happening to you.

  24. Re:Saw those...took me two seconds to no the diffe on Wal-Mart's Terrible Nintendo Wii Knock-Offs · · Score: 1

    When you're some parent who has no idea what a Wii is and vaguely remembers what the controller looked like, the possibility of grabbing this without second thought isn't surprising.

  25. Re:i used to play this game as a kid... on Why Apple Should Acquire Adobe · · Score: 1

    I could easily see Apple pulling a Microsoft on Microsoft, at least for graphic artists.
