  1. Re:fun for deviants on Man Creates Open Source Flashlight · · Score: 1

    it would be easier and cheaper to just buy a TV-B-gone or Arduino (with IR LEDs) and program it.

    cr123 is a standard battery. Almost any place that has cameras or batteries has them. They are more expensive, but last longer.

  8. Re:I've done this before! on Nuclear Emergency Declared At 2 Plants In Japan · · Score: 1

    Its 2061 now. Fusion is always 50 years away.

    It would have been more amazing if the date/time code on your post said it was 2061.

    That would mean that /. would still be around in 50 years, posting comments to the past would be possible, and a large percentage of the human race need to go for a Darwin Award.

  9. Not as strong as steel! on EADS Bicycle Made of Steel-Strength Nylon · · Score: 5, Informative

    Hi [redacted],

    Can you please send me an email to my work address: [redacted]. I have a number of attachments that you would probably appreciate. Just as an FYI, the bike is purely a demonstration of what you can do with 3D printing, which we call Additive Layer Manufacturing. The bike is 100% nylon plastic which (as opposed to what has been claimed by some news outlets) is strong enough to make a bike, but not as strong as steel! Obviously. The point is that with 3D printing you have almost complete design freedom in manufacturing (unrestricted by machining tools and by the high cost of tooling up in casting). In fact customisation would not add any (or very little) cost to manufactutring. Here is a link to our website & release: http://www.eads.com/eads/int/en/news/press.8d764849-d439-475b-93b3-3cc9a7d2ba20.70472f39-dd6f-4428-a792-91d82cb9791b.html

  22. Re:Use a real alarm clock on iPhone Alarms Hit By New Year's Bug · · Score: 1

    Mechanical sometimes make precision hard, but precision is not necessary.

    Digital almost always requires numerous button presses, while holding down one button. And if you go past your time then you have to cycle forward till you hit your time.

  23. Re:Use a real alarm clock on iPhone Alarms Hit By New Year's Bug · · Score: 1

    The bug is inexcusable, yes, but so is relying on a phone and not an alarm clock to get up for work on time.

    Except this bug is for one off alarms, not reoccurring. You would not want to reset your hard to set bedside alarm just for one day.
