truth is those line workers make a decent living no where close to minimum wage cause you cant just take any moron and stick them there, they have to have attention to detail, focus, good work ethics and etc
or else you end up making a bunch of garbage you cant sell which is a waste of everyone's time, you find the right people and you pay to keep them there
yea I just got one of those hdmi androids on a stick, I dont have time to fuck around with trying to find a pi, trying to get it shipped to me in any reasonable amount of time, and trying to make it look good
I have a 5 inch audiovox TFT LCD TV that I use on my apple IIc
I am developing hardware for it that interfaces with ADT pro (disk transfer utility)
one Saturday I started working on it at around noon, and since I was testing against the software I left it on... until 10 or 11 that night and there it was
A BIG ASS GHOST of the ADTpro's main screen, and it would not go away, couple weeks later I let an arduino hammer the screen with full white and full black as fast as it could (it just looked like solid grey) and it balanced it back out, but wow, never seen burn in on a LCD, hell never saw burn in in less than 12 hours!
not all factory work is low level manual labor, yes its there, but its only a part of the entire environment
what needs to happen is to get rid of this idea that factories are only for flunkies, yea automation happens, usually to the benefit to the line workers, but you dont just buy a machine, plop it in and it magically knows what to do. That thing has to be programmed for every product you make, someone has to design the tooling, someone has to fabricate it, someone has to redesign products so the machines can make it and on and on and on.
and your low level workers, well someone has to be there to feed the machines, remove work-stages, package and test the product, we are not to the point of iRobot replacing them anytime soon
A great story of that is a factory I visited, they have a huge automated system costing god only knows how many millions of dollars, and countless hours of engineering... whats at the end of it? humans sorting parts cause the machine is not perfect and when the little plastic gizmo gets spat out it bounces in the wrong bin... but only sometimes
In the USA though so it may be totally different in other places... I recently heard some girl call into a radio show with "I have a college degree, I am not going to work at a factory", which I took offense to, "why not" I shouted out.
factory's can be very interesting places, you dont just take a army of drones, stick them in a building and say make me shit. No, there's mechanics, machinist, IT and communications staff, computer programmers, designers, engineers, sales staff, accounting, HR, wearhousing, logistics and more, often in the same facilities.
Its a rare hornets nest of activity and creativity that takes an idea produced out of thin air into a product you can make and sell thousands of in a day, and it takes a huge skill set over teams of people to make all those cogs line up perfectly.
not really true, I dropped a rather inexpensive HD6870 in my tri core and game performance noticeably increased, more detail at longer distances with a higher framerate... on a pci-e 2.0 box
I plan on upgrading the rest eventually, but going from a gts250 to the ati = pretty substantial difference
jeez almost all pc games are spec-ed to 2005 xbox360 hardware
my old spare machine which is a amd x2 2.4 ghz, 4 gigs of ddr2 and a geforce 9600GT can run most modern games at mid high to high quality at 1280x1024, and that's coming up on 6 years old... cost like 300 bucks in parts new
I got an ad today from them, they offered me 3 meg service for the same price I pay comcast for 6 meg service. The only reason why I switched from ATT is my 3 meg service constantly ran at 768k to 1.5Mb
Slashdot Mirror
A handful of nerds will never even be noticed when hundreds of millions of normal people continue to buy without any knowledge
not 30 years worth
If I pay for it, they better be telling me something reasonably accurate
If I dont, then they dont owe me squat and it will be back when its back
and it all has to be encrypted so whats practical speed?
dont you love it when someone who doesnt know the setup makes bold statements
its a pentium 4

I agree with parent: I have not seen any good tools to work with Microchip PICs
fixed that for you
If I finance my car its not illegal if I switch out the interior lights for green LED's and put goofy rims on it
no I mean getting a box and wiring and all that, its in the front lobby, I dont want a rats nest and tape dangling off the back of the thing
What is Sir Mix-a-lot getting out of all of this?
it wont hold a beer
pong was pure hardware
you mean this unavailable source code?

man that LCD with the LED backlight runs 24/7 and it just rotates through a slide show, can we put it on a timer or something?
who cares, the pc thats running is is sucking 300 watts
I have had it happen

hey it took alot of hard thinking to take a product with a clamp attached, and clamp it to something!

to be fair most of their demographic wouldn't know how to count to 140 if it wasnt for twitter
so its really helping society by extending these peoples attention span to 6 seconds
hasnt been for a while now, I cant tell the difference between my chi-co and my old linksys
oh yes I can, the chi-co cost 1/3 the price, has more feature, and is just a non-branded belkin
