People fighting for those who have difficulty seeing have been complaining about the sites that have a person type a number displayed in an image to verify that they're not a bot. They say it causes undue hardship on sight impaired folks. That may not be a legal fight your company would like to enter.
I can see both sides of this. Can't say I know where to stand though.
Forgot to mention.... that page is one I've been using for some time. It just happens to also be listed at the top of google's returns for "usb pinout".
Sweet. Finding a ps was always an issue when I was in school. It usually ended up with using a spare computer ps and some 7805's. (Like the pwoer wasn't regualted enough already).
Do you ready any 'homebrew' magazines? I used to buy "Popular Electronics" now it's either "Circuit Cellar" or another google search.
Instead of a repeater, try taking output from the serial port, pushing that to an LED driver, through fiber optic cable to the cable box, and into a difuser positioned near the ir detector.
But this person, being in college, won't have a dedicated legal team if the company refuses to pay him because of a dispute in hours billed. At least if the need arose, he could more easily verify a feature than hours.
Faster? It is often easier/quicker to just use Google to search for the answer.
1) You don't need wait while being tossed between technicians.
2) You don't have to wait for a callback.
3) You already know the details of your problem. You know what you tried. You don't need to try and communicate these to person on the other end.
What types of problems have you come across that have been handled better by tech support people?
Some have mentioned needing to wait for an updated package to be released by your distro. Just grabbed the latest source/patch and compile it yourself. Can't get too much quicker than that.;)
I suggest we place a tax/fine on services that are outsourced to contractors ooutside the US. This is already done on goods that are imported. It helps maintain the lifestyle we enjoy here. It also encourages companies to keep the jobs within the country. Why can't we do the same w/ white collar jobs?
We're shooting ourselves in the foot when we allow foreigners to come over to our schools and run our gas stations. We educate them and then send our jobs to their doorsteps? We support them with food and cash so they can dance around in the streets burning our flag?? WTF is up with that?!?!?
Although the following comment will probably be thought of as 'flamebait' by our 'associates' in France and Canada. The US rocks. I'll support any measure taken that isolates us from the rest of the world. We don't NEED anything anyonelse has. We've got everything here.
Glad I wasn't the only one that saw this. Was that supposed to be for subscribers only?

Geocaching Crackdown?

dude, you don't need to go to geocaching.com to find the gps coords for a city. Most of the online map sites will give them to you. for FREE even. Imagine that.
Oh, you're from one of those countries that _SUPPORTS_ terrorism? Or are you of the one that supplied them with the tools to make nuclear weapons? Or did you guys supply them with weapons since the last war?
The ability to downgrade the precision of for civilian gps units has existed for years. Whoever designed the system should have already taken this into account.
We haven't been able to find a NIC that would tell us if there are shorts in the wire, length of the line, next, etc. We currently use standards NICs with ethereal, nmap, etc. The lack the functionality of dedicated net diag tools.
I'll second that. Whenever someone spilled something into a fancy keyboard (the programmable type) We opened it up and put it in the dishwasher. (We then ran the dishwasher for those people who feel like being a PITA)

Anyhow, have fun.
If you were a cs major, I'd have to lecture you on trying google first...... beings you're into E. Here's the link.
Just for you.

They are solid. Either a feature is present and functioning or it's not. No need to quarrel over hours.
If google can't find, it's likely that it doesn't exist. ;)
Home use is a HUGE factor. Linux can plopped on your pc in the dorm. Better than ssh'ing in or commuting to the lab.

No reservation. Cherokee though since you asked. The pay is much better in 'civilization'.
What does your question have to do with my statement anyhow besides being a troll?

Althouh I enjoy 'geocaching', I can see their point. What's to seperate these caches from ordinary litter.
Corporations will automate the process so they will never 'forget' to pay the buck.
You're missing out on half of the fun of being a geek.
;)
Thanks, I forgot about that one.
Oh, you're from one of those countries that _SUPPORTS_ terrorism? Or are you of the one that supplied them with the tools to make nuclear weapons? Or did you guys supply them with weapons since the last war?
No, it's called protecting our troops and those of our allies.

I took it as such. I understand how unlikely it is that such a device exists. Would be nice to have though. Any EE students looking for a project?
I forgot to mention that our laptops primarily run GNU/Linux.
