  2. Re:Heatsink? More like a ground... on Brain Heatsink Could Reduce Epilepsy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That makes perfect sense, since the salts in blood and cranial fluid are such excellent insulators.

  5. Re:I've got an old dell they can use... on Antique Voyager Technology · · Score: 1

    Do any modern micros even support divisors large enough to generate all the weird speeds from 75 to 1200? I'll quote "small FPGA and a week" and you can keep your old USB to serial adapter and driver.

  10. S-WORDS? on First Armed Robots on Patrol in Iraq · · Score: 1

    Why would the military limit themselves to S-words when they can already drop the F-bomb?

  18. Re:Not Made Here syndrome. on Sony Says UMD Is Here To Stay · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sony could have owned the removeable media market in the '90s. Around the time that Iomega was raking in big bucks from their expensive Zip disks, Sony had made and was selling (but not pushing) a PC drive that could write to cheap 120MB Minidiscs. Unfortunately the drives were expensive at the time. That shouldn't have lasted long since the mechanisms and support electronics for reading and writing Minidisc aren't that much more complex than a CD-ROM transport.

  19. Re:I don't get it on iPhone Researchers Gain a Shell · · Score: 2, Funny

    Congratulations, you've caught on to Apple's marketing secret. Now sit back and wait for the men in black turtlenecks to cart you off for re-education.

  22. Re:Over-voltage causes computer failure at ISS Rus on Space Station Computers Partially Restored · · Score: 1

    Crowbars on power supply inputs are common in automotive applications since 24V busses and positive-chassis vehicles are out there.

  23. Re:Over-voltage causes computer failure at ISS Rus on Space Station Computers Partially Restored · · Score: 1

    "Surge suppressors" as found on your PC are not designed to protect against steady-state overvoltage. In fact, most don't kick in until three to five times line voltage. Even then, they only act to shunt surges across the line. With a constant overvoltage in their operating range, they will cook themselves and fail quickly.

    What they could (and may) have done is have a crowbar circuit that would draw extra current when run above a preset voltage to cause any fuses upstream to trip.

  24. Re:I just wonder on Details and Rumors of iPhone Restrictions Emerging · · Score: 1

    Um... any current AT+T phone? I just bought an 8525 (HTC TyTn) and with my customer employee discount (Premier) applied to the non-contract price I got the phone for less than I would have with a 2 year contract and rebates.
