  1. Try Googling Arduino Oscilloscope on Ask Slashdot: PC-Based Oscilloscopes On a Microbudget? · · Score: 1

    Here's one. http://www.instructables.com/i... There is more stuff in the comments, such as https://github.com/hitchcme/Gi... Don't know if they would fit your requirements, but something to look at.

  2. And cats still don't give a sh** on Dogs Defecate In Alignment With Earth's Magnetic Field · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They really don't.

  3. Re:The distinction is minor on Google Nexus Gets Wireless Charger · · Score: 1

    Luckily, I leave my Nexus 7 plugged in all the time. My one gripe about this device is that it's find to find the hole when plugging in the USB charger. (flour, or not). It does seem to have a propensity to wear.

  4. Some lossy sound better than other lossy. on Can You Really Hear the Difference Between Lossless, Lossy Audio? · · Score: 1

    Not saying that lossy is ever better than non-lossy, but with good "dithering", it can really make a big difference. Probably better for artists to provide their own mp3 (or whatever file type) than leaving it up to a vendor to do it. This Izotope video is pretty informative, despite being kind of an ad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVNzylf9sGo

  5. Re:Depends on What's the Shelf Life of a Programmer? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Depends on the programmer!

    Bah. Continence has nothing to do with being a good programmer.

  6. Re:Water, or some other fluid? on Rover Finds Ancient Streambed On Martian Surface · · Score: 5, Funny

    Probably never occurred to those rocket scientists and geologists at NASA. :)

  7. Re:Hangouts are cool on Why You Shouldn't Write Off Google+ Just Yet · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I did find that, but it's still a whole lot of work to make stuff go away. I'd love to see it work like Google Reader.

  8. Hangouts are cool on Why You Shouldn't Write Off Google+ Just Yet · · Score: 1

    To be honest, I'm completely baffled by the google+ feed. It's very difficult to make "seen" things go away. Other than that, it's pretty cool. I've only been using it to attend a couple hangouts. Hangouts are really great, especially if you know ahead of time to comb your hair. It was a bit of a shocker to see my ugly mug on the list of attendees.

  9. This is what they should show on An HTTP Status Code For Censorship? · · Score: 1
  10. Re:But in outer space... on Return of the Vacuum Tube · · Score: 1

    Not a good enough vacuum (particles, gasses, solar wind, etc)

  11. Re:Vacuum tubes have never left! on Return of the Vacuum Tube · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Tubes are the only way to go on a guitar amp.

  12. Re:It's even dumber than that. on Billionaires and Polymaths Expected To Unveil a Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    But look at all that cheddar

  13. As if 4Square isn't creepy enough on World's Creepiest iPhone App Pulled After Outcry · · Score: 1

    But so's the internet

  14. Catch and Release Hunting on Camera Gun Would Let Hunters Get Killer Wildlife Shots · · Score: 1

    That's pretty neat, really.

  15. It comes down to one thing on Exoplanets Spotted Orbiting Dead Star · · Score: 1

    Climate change is b**ch!

  16. #n hashtag is supposed to help on Library of Congress To Receive Entire Twitter Archive · · Score: 1

    I don't know how correct it is, but @PogoWasRight uses it. I asked her why, and she said that tweets with the #n are ignored by Library of Congress import.

  17. It's about time on TSA Saw My Junk, Missed Razor Blades, Says Adam Savage · · Score: 1

    It's about time that this video (uploaded in May 2010) finally gets it's due.

  18. Re:Can Urine Rescue Hydrogen-Powered Cars? on Can Urine Rescue Hydrogen-Powered Cars? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not to mention that the cheesing community will be outraged.

  19. Re:Mung on Has Google Broken JavaScript Spam Munging? · · Score: 1

    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mung

    I'm heartened to see that they make a mention of the "South Park" version of Mung, as that's the one I thought of.

  20. Re:What happens if the Data Center shuts down? on New Data Center Will Heat Homes In London · · Score: 1, Funny

    "Look at the silly monkey!"

  21. Re:And a new super-hero is born! on MIT Building Batteries Using Viruses · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, he was into yoga and shorted out.

  22. Re:Now all we need is for someone to give it a tar on Robot Makes Scientific Discovery (Mostly) On Its Own · · Score: 1

    Would you like to play a game?

  23. Re:Bloody hell! on Is Alcohol Killing Our Planet? · · Score: 1

    I hope that was theirapeutic.

  24. Re:Retarded on Don't Like EULAs? Get Your Cat To Agree To Them · · Score: 2, Funny

    Next, it will be a device allow 3 cats to perform executions.

  25. Re:good luck with that on CNN Uses P2P Video & Adds Terrible EULA · · Score: 1

    Whether or not the license is valid, I've tried on numerous occasions with several browsers to install that Octoshape add-on. Not once was I successful. Maybe it's just me, or my antivirus, Vista, or whatever. But it's pretty bad if an experienced propellerhead like myself loses interest before installation fruition.
