Don't hire any of the above bloodthirsty "Three infections, max - and then smoke 'em!" types. Won't do to be euthanizing people the third time they catch a cold...or a venereal disease.
Anybody who actually builds his own electronics is obviously a terrorist... People who buy this stuff will be closely watched by DHS.. through the security cams..
That's fair...whatcha think we buy the stuff for, if not to watch the watchers?
I wasn't explicit...guess I should have said "On the rack". I remember browsing for parts, not finding the right ones, doing calculations on a TI-something-or-other to figure out what I could fudge using resistance/inductance calculations...whatever. Could usually "get by" with what was on the wall. Plus what they had on the wall gave me...ideas (most of 'em bad, admittedly).
Now? They don't have squat. I don't even go to RS for anything serious....if it isn't a pre-fab disposable, I order off the web - and not from "the Shack".
I remember that the $400 I dropped on a 10 MB drive for it was difficult to justify to the ex...so I didn't tell her about the $600 I spent on the EMS card.
lollll...if I'd have known she would soon be the ex, I'd have told her.
Some time ago Corporate America decided they didn't need any stinkin' American engineers...toooooo expensive...outsource 'em all. RadioShack just followed along and eliminated elementary school for engineers in favor of pre-fab junk for the proles in a "We're a service economy now!".
Shouldn't let Wall Street run a country; they're only in it for themselves.
...after which VerizATT will rewrite their contracts to forbid the end user from disseminating negative comments regarding their service reliability and then finance the purchases of the judges required to enforce said contract by charging you by the bit transmitted or received in their only available service plan...a service plan that makes accepting unsolicited advertising mandatory.
Although come to think of it, one or two more telecom mergers and monopolization will mean that it won't matter if the remaining corporation(s) have a bad rap for service. It will be like it, or leave it...at least until an equally well-paid Congress passes a law requiring you to purchase their service in order to give law enforcement the ability to track you via GPS. For the sake of America's security, donchaknow.
Ya reckon somebody read the part of her blog that sez she is a researcher for Microsoft and went "Oops..."? If I was a second-tier 'net company with visions of being bought someday that particular name might have given me pause...
Yes! Save the world, reduce our dependance on fossil fuels.... errr but in the mean time please crank your computer to 11 so it uses 5 times the amount of power as it normally does idling. I can't participate because my computer is powered by coal power.:-)
Interesting argument. Rather like saying you can't put a bandage on your gushing femoral artery because it will get the bandage dirty.
...had the same effect as shooting the little boy who had his thumb in the hole in the dam in the head. Stinks...we didn't even get a Beer Hall Putsch as warning. Unless that was Palin?
Which is not to say that I wouldn't try Coreboot's BIOS...my first job was as a "cold warrior"...that education left me less than thrilled with the fact that mobos are almost universally assembled - and BIOSed-up - in the PRC.
But I do hope their QC on the public face they put on the web isn't reflective of the QC effort they put into their BIOS.
lolll...error was from coreboot.org, not slashdot. I suppose I could "assume" that quality control is tighter on the BIOS side of that organization...
Nah...I assumed that the OEM washers on this Hyper 212+ were "good enough", and the other day after a couple months of running CEP2 flat-out six cores and six threads the cooler cut through the varnish atop some motherboard traces on a P6X58D premium.
Daggone if I hadn't assumed my way right into a system failure.
lolll..then I started thinking about the impact on hashes of differing versions of GCC, different compiler/linker flags...and I sez to myself "Give it up. If you don't trust your employer, move on. Or write a little ditty that pokes straight into the keyboard buffer and make your employer think you're a helluva worker".
Don't forget to sync libraries, version-wise, to ensure a 100% match at link...i.e., seems like a bit of a pain. Better, perhaps, to have the open source "source" publicize the hashes the compiled image should have.

Simple means "not complex" (however many quotes enclose "not complex"). Nuclear war is complex any way you slice it.
What is complex about nuclear war? Bombs go bang, humanity goes bye-bye; end of story.
Literally.
In other circles, "junk" might just refer to your racks of servers.
...if your junk hasn't been e-surfed.

Can't even buy a 555 timer at RadioShack anymore...can't keep track of time, no wonder too little, too late.
And I'm still pissed off that you couldn't put the 286 in my Tandy 1000TX into protected mode.

Probably.

You powder it and put it in your Red Bull and the boss thinks you're just trying to focus.
And technically, you are - focusing on trying to figure out which mouse is the real one.
