  1. calagator on Ask Slashdot: Events Calendar Software For Local Community? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What you're talking about is similar to Calagator in Portland, OR. The site is http://calagator.org/ and has a link to the source code.

  2. Re:What would they store? on Memory Wars May Herald Mobile Devices With Terabytes of Capacity · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't you be offloading anyway? A mobile device is more likely to break, get lost, or get stolen. Wouldn't more storage mean more data to lose?

  3. Re:needs more zags on Crowd Funding For Crank Physics · · Score: 1

    Does a straight line result when the number of zigs and zags approach infinity?

  4. Let the grandparents raise the children on Fathers Pass Along More Mutations As They Age · · Score: 1

    This is why we should be pushing teenagers to have children.

    Absolutely. We need to encourage our children to have children at about 16, and and have us raise them. Then, when they are 32, and actually ready to raise children, they can have their children do the same.

  5. Employee/Employment marketplace on President By Day, High-Tech Headhunter By Night · · Score: 2

    Don't employers attempt to negotiate salary requirements? If someone is currently unemployed is asking for 150k/yr might want to take 60k/yr given the choice between that and nothing. Would things be smoother if the Employee/Employment marketplace were more liquid?

  6. Re:Useless people prefer to talk. on Europe's Largest IT Company To Ban Internal Email · · Score: 1

    Yes, there much chit-chat, but the chit-chat serves a purpose. Socializing with someone and building a relationship with them accelerates your ability to communicate with them when the real work needs to get done. However, time spent building those relationships may not be worth it if you don't end up needing to do real work together all that much.

  7. Re:"No ecosystem" on Android On HP TouchPad · · Score: 1

    I actually do this with a laptop. I tilt the top of the stand back so that it is almost flat, then set the laptop in place. It seems to work well.

  8. Re:/ (slash) on Most People Have Never Heard of CTRL+F · · Score: 1

    It also works in evince.

  9. Re:Backwards processing on How Printed Circuit Boards Are Made · · Score: 1

    Why not just put down a resist layer directly and etch what the resist doesn't protect? That seems much simpler.

    More simple, but processing that way wouldn't plate copper in the holes drilled for vias. It sounds like you're forgetting that step.

  10. Re:Backwards processing on How Printed Circuit Boards Are Made · · Score: 2

    Inner layers are processed as you would expect. Etch resist is applied to the areas you want to keep, then copper is etched away. The outerlayers are different. The resist image applied to the board exposes the what you want to keep. It can be considered a "plating resist". The exposed image is then plated with copper (this is where the hole walls get plating) then tin. The resist is then removed. The tin then acts as the etch resist. It's a pain to etch through copper. That is why copper plating is only applied to where it is needed.

  11. From a board shop right now on How Printed Circuit Boards Are Made · · Score: 1

    I'm surfing slashdot from a PCB shop right now.

  12. A nose works when a gloved hand does not on Face-Mounted Nose Stylus Created For Phones · · Score: 1

    I have heard of people dialing their phones with their nose before. In cold weather, a gloved hand can't use the capacitive touchscreen, but you're nose will work just fine. It's not really "Hands Free" if you're still holding it with your hand.

  13. Re:Sure, if it includes EVERYBODY on Scott Adams Says Plenty Would Choose Life In Noprivacyville · · Score: 1

    Even if everybody is tracked this information is available to everyone, it still isn't fair to individuals. Everyone can watch and pick apart the lives of an individual, but an individual cannot watch everyone else at the same time to the same degree.
