For what it's worth, measuring capacitance via rise time on a GPIO pin is very challenging without an integrated comparator and fast GPIO. The Pi has no integral comparator and working with GPIO through the Linux kernel is always a bit laggy. A microcontroller is definitely a better tool for the job.
Gandi is a great registrar. They don't try and convince you to buy a bunch of extra services when you register your domain, they have a very user-friendly web interface for DNS record management, and they are very light on email (and any emails they send are in plaintext, nice and simple).
Free "private" registration to remove your contact info from the WHOIS data is another big plus. The only downside is that their prices seem to be a bit higher than some competitors.
I'm not sure if there if Angstrom ships with a better network manager, but Arch Linux Arm on the Beaglebone uses the netctl by default, which makes this process quite simple. Just copy and edit the ethernet-static config and systemctl start netctl@enp2s0. CONNECTION='ethernet' INTERFACE='enp2s0' IP='static' ADDR='192.168.0.200' GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' DNS=('192.168.0.1')
The city I work in (Jackson, MI) has an old prison that was converted to apartments. The accommodations are actually quite nice, although some windows still have bars on the outside.
If you don't like the redesign Mozilla has done with the new tab page and want to avoid the sponsored tiles, this extension reverts much of the new tab page appearance and allows a decent amount of customization.
You may have lost a zero there--I wasn't able to find pricing on that machine specifically, but most pick and place machines of that caliber cost upwards of $50,000. There are some chinese ~$3,000 desktop machines like this http://dangerousprototypes.com..., but they have poor accuracy and no optical feedback.
A $300 pick and place machine would be awesome, but honestly anything around $2000 that can accurately place 0402 components with optical feedback would be amazing.
For anyone with ILO2-equipped servers that have frozen due to heartbleed vulnerability scanning, HP has released a (thankfully) free update to the ILO2 firmware to work around the issue. A physical power cycle of each server is required before the update may be applied, however. http://h20566.www2.hp.com/port...
...that might explain why my iLO locked up recently. It responds to pings, but is completely inaccessible from the web, ssh, and the host OS. Time to call my datacenter and have them power-cycle my server I guess...
There is some technology akin to 3d printing for books, such as the Espresso Book Machine which can print an entire book in a couple of minutes. Some universities have these machines, but I'm not sure if they will ever have much popularity outside of an academic setting.
“We reserve the right to monetise that footprint,” Peters explains. “YouTube implemented a very similar capability, which allows people to embed videos on a website, with the company generating revenue by serving advertising on that video.” And while Getty Images has yet to determine how these ads will appear, Peters is confident that this capability will be introduced in the near future.
TFA actually states that they plan on adding advertising soon, although they don't mention how these ads will be displayed in their "embedded player". I have no idea how they plan on advertising without being incredibly intrusive; I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
ublox modules are pretty nice for embedded designs, although the nv08c-csm is also a really awesome multi-constellation raw-supporting module that I'm starting to use more often.
systemd service files are quite straightforward---I'm not sure what kind of monumental effort you are referring to when creating service files. For a simple service, starting/stopping/restarting the service is handled automatically, leaving a very minimal service file.
This is actually a useful idea--I keep at least 6 "app tabs" open in firefox at all times just to see when I get notifications from Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Google Calendar, Google Voice, etc. A push notification system could give nice in-browser notifications without keeping entire pages loaded into memory.
Correctly soldering BGA packages requires a reflow oven or a good heat gun with some solder paste. This is intimidating not only for customers with basic soldering skills, but even those who have extensive experience soldering other small SMT packages. Nevertheless, releasing the PCB as open hardware would allow people to fabricate and assemble their own boards, without placing an additional burden on the company.
Pneumatic tubes are a bit more reliable than sample-carrying robots that are being produced for the same purpose. What's more likely to fail, a robot that autonomously navigates a hospital, avoiding humans with ultrasonic sensors, or a simple time-tested pneumatic tube system?
Cedarville University has support for Linux on their wifi and lan, via submitting your mac address or just registering it with an online interface. The internet terminals on campus also run Ubuntu, and their servers run Suse.

Crazy as it is, U.S. Navy combined with the US Marine Corps is the second-largest air force in the world. The US Navy has a variety of aircraft:
