What, are you curious about the precise methodology of feces extraction that was used? How many of you would have clicked through if there had been a link "Would you like to know more?"
It's a scissoring motion with the fingers.
Ah, the joy of having a girlfriend that's a nurse. I know all kinds of things about colons should not be known.
My favourite part of EWJ was in the manual where they explained that Earth Worm Jim was abbreviated as EWJ, but don't ever say 'EWJ' out loud because that takes too long.

RIAA to Sue You Now
·
· Score: 1
1. Notified of lawsuit against you
2. Drive to local music store
3. Buy CDs of songs downloaded
4. Show up to court
5. Laugh in face of RIAA as they accuse you of stealing what you already own
6. Yawn.
DIY EFI is somewhat related, you will find tons of information on fuel-injection systems, with an emphasis on GM products. The mailing list archives go back about 5 years, with people posting from all different backgrounds, including Ford engineers.
My car does 140mph, legally I can only do half that. No legislator would consider requiring all cars to be blocked from these speeds unless the road told the engine manager that this was a race track.
Actually, that is what OBD-III is all about.

ECU's that contain 3D reprogrammable fuel maps... ignition computers that increase spark, knock sensor computers that keep the engine from pinging/grenading
They're just doing this now!? Camaro's and Firebirds have done this since 86.
Check out diy-efi.org if you are interested in how the real hackers tune their EFI systems. The gm_ecm mailing list is awesome, check out the archives... every computer controlled car that GM built is discussed.
If you go here you can find the assembly code readouts for most GM cars. These are really well documented, and this is how I tune my Firebird.
Modern GM cars come with what is called a memcal. This plugs into the ECM, and it contains the PROM, some filter networks for the knock sensor, and some basic circuitry to run in 'limp home mode' if the PROM fails.
There are people retrofitting these systems to every possible configuration, the most popular is the Buick Grand National/SyTy/Turbo Sunbird ECM because it supports boost conditions, or the 90-92 Firebird ECM because they are so easy to find.
There is even an open source tuner program for Firebirds and Camaros to watch the ALDL datastream and see everything that is going on inside your engine.
It's a real hacker culture, and I enjoy reading all the discussions that go on.
They exist, but I'm not sure how large they can get. Some fancy arc/mig welding helmets have them connected to the welder, so when you start welding, the glass darkens and you don't fry your retinas.
Much easier than flipping the helmet up and down all the time.
POWERreceived = POWERtransmitted + TXgain + RXgain - line loss - multipath loss - pathloss - some other things
I think microwave is just the most convenient to transmit because the power isn't attenuated by our atmosphere as much.
Think back to the old crystl radio sets, where there were no batteries, the only thing power the earpiece was the received radio signal. This is on a much larger scale.
Coming from someone who was up at 2:00am watching Ultimate Fighting Championship when his Phys 170 final was at 8:30am last year, I must say that this will be perfect for me to procrastinate.
Thanks Futurama, I'm probably going to fail EECE 356 because of you!
Missionary position is man on top, woman on her back. It's called this because this position is the one recommended by missionaries (in the 1800's) as the only 'respectable' position during sex.
I remember when RMS came to do a talk at our school, and some CS student asked about what would happen if he GPL'd his project that he was working so he could share it with other students.

Strange, I thought selling cars for more than it cost to make them is what kept them in the black.
Nope. Car manufacturers are in the business of selling parts. Give away the razor, sell the blades.
Many cars sell for less than what it costs to make them, Cavalier and Sunfire from the GM product line come to mind.
When you use the words "your" and "you're" in the same sentence, and use them correctly, you rob the rest of us of a valuable opportunity here!
Actually, the period indicates that it is actually two sentences. Thanks for the opportunity to correct your grammar skills.
(prounounced EWWWWWWW-lahz).
Really? I always pronounce it OY-lahz, the same way the name Euler is pronounced.

You like to go fast, I like to go fast. Does it really matter how we go about acheiving this?
(I'm in the middle of building a 6.6L small block chevy to put in a 70's Vette or Camaro, with the goal of doing 1g+ on the skidpad.)

The Hobbit is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it is not necessary to understand the trilogy, as it takes place about 60 years later.

Actually, the Fox-bodied Mustang was built on the same chassis as the Ford Fairlane, from 79 to 93.
If it ain't broke...yadda yadda. But Microsoft stuff does have the tendency to be broken, and needing fixes.
Is this the old silo that the geeks from UF had? Weird timing that that storyline ended as this came up for sale.

Hell, that's nothing new. My Civic has been doing that for years! Of course, I can't turn it off. Oh well.
Jeeps (Willys) had this in the late 40's - early 50's. Of course, it wasn't very reliable :)
Whoops! Duh, I meant to type Bluetooth.

RMS's reply was basically, 'Don't be a dumbass'.
