How about if you get it right.
RS-232 is not +/- 12vdc but is actually +/- 3-25vdc. It is also no longer RS-232 (or even RS-232C,) but eia-232 since the _R_eccomended _S_tandard has actually been ratified by the EIA/TIA.
Second there is a 4-20ma current loop standard (analog) in addition to the 20ma current loop (digital)
So go pick your nit somewhere else if you're not going to do it right.
Lesson 1: Don't actually produce a product. Vapor is much cheaper.
Lesson 2: Hire Linus in some silly little position so that the Slashdot crowd crowns them King Of All Processor Manufaturers, despite lack of any supporting evidence.
Or maybe they should just stick to producing the best i386 chips on the market at a reasonable price. -- Naah, that actually sounds like work.
HR 1218 -- Teen Endangerment Act Introduced by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-FL, this legislation would make criminals out of anyone other than a parent -- including a grandmother, aunt or older sister -- who helps a teenager travel to another state for an abortion. The bill, officially called the "Child Custody Protection Act," but nicknamed the Teen Endangerment Act, would make it a federal crime for a person to help a young woman travel across state lines to obtain an abortion unless she has already fulfilled the requirements of her home state's parental consent or notification laws. The ACLU opposed the bill, which was passed by a vote of 270 to 159. -- Gee, I wouldn't want to lose the *liberty* to take my 14 yr old neice across state lines to put her baby under the knife of some butcher without telling her parents. -- HR 2 -- Voucher Scheme Introduced by Rep. Dick Armey, R-TX, as an amendment to an education bill, this proposed legislation would have created a national voucher program that would have diverted taxpayer dollars to private and religious schools. By a vote of 166 to 257, the House rejected the Armey voucher scheme. The ACLU opposed the amendment. -- Whew, I still have the *liberty* to have money taken out of my paycheck to fund the failing public daycare^H^H^H^H^H^H^H education system, even though my children are schooled at home. Boy am I glad to have that *liberty*
Who cares? A vast majority of Americans are too stupid to understand (South Park rules dood!), don't care (but theres food on MY table), or embrace this idea (YAY! Real World Marathon all week!) I think JK would fall under the first category. Of the rest, they either stop watching TV, support their local merchants, and home school their children (GASP, you mean both parents don't WORK?), or they spout drivel over a JonKatz "article."
The ACLU wants your freedom to be under the government's control, not yours. Consider their stances on affirmative action and school choice. Of course the government knows what is good for you.

Queer moderators? Isn't that statement itself redundant?
Unmask thyself, thou Anonymous Fuck!
. . . and then Carbon causes your app to look Aqua-ish
I think the work we are looking for is "aquatic"
Super geniuses like myself bring up the average enough to compensate for the low IQ of two of you.
This comment and this comment are both moderated up. Yet they contradict.
What I don't get is that neither of them started with "moderate this down if you must. . . "
Damn, I thought I had the moderation system figured out, too.
of a comment idolizing the "SlashDot Crew" getting moderated to +5.
Caught my lazy pinky.
Kudos, Mr Z.

Nobody needs SMP. People need a certain level of performance. SMP is just one way of achieving that level, and even then only for certain tasks.
Woo-Hoo

Somebody please moderate this down. The poster obviously failed to follow the provided links regarding the DMCA.
The DMCA _makes_ content the service provider's responsibility.
Yeah, great idea. Lets just scrap everything that isn't the most widely used, and has the best hardware support.
Let's put all of our developers on a single track, so that we can "innovate."
VIVA Windows!

Do not try and bend the Republic. That's impossible. Instead ... only try to realize the truth.

Nero had nothing to do with the Holy Roman Empire. He perished in the year 68.
The Holy Roman Empire did not come into existence until Pope Stephen II sealed a pact with Pepin in 754.
Who the heck wants to put a bomb in a cat?
