It's like when MS talks about improving the user experience or whatnot. They always have ulterior motives. The end result may be an improved user experience, but in the process it may involve bundling something to kill a competitor.
Same deal with the government. Usually what they say is true prima facie, but there are usually many other things going on, and it's naive to assume otherwise.
Yeah, they should have found a body in a war zone that has been shot as opposed to killed by blast, one that just happens to have retained a bullet (not very likely with military rifles), dig the bullet out of the corpse, and then get out the calipers and measure the slug.
How dare those journalists not do that!! They must be anti-american!
They're not saving bandwidth either really. The page is still loading in another window on their slow server, it's up to something like 220K at this point.
What's rendered so far doesn't look so hot.
I applaude the effort, but fixed pixels is never a good solution. The whole idea behind standards compliance is seperating content from presentation. The side effect is that you don't have absolute control over the presentation as an author. People just need to get over it. If they want absolute control over layout, maybe their front page should just be a PDF.
Get a catalog from someone who sells those kinds of fixtures, for a few hundred bucks you can get a temperature controlled system. A computer is insane overkill, mechnical solutions have been around for decades.
Or, for 50 bucks or so and some work, you can reroute your water pipes so that the shower comes off the main directly, instead of sharing the line with the rest of the bathroom.

piclist.com, then go to the archives. You have to register to get access though. Look for some messages about hot air soldering and follow the long thread. It's an interesting read in any case.
This was discuessed on piclist shortly after oven soldering came up. The conclusion was you would need a laser that costs many thousands of dollars to get the wattage necessary to solder with.
Well, you see, in America we have freedom of expression. It's not something granted to us by the government, it's recognized as an inalienable natural right.
If you control what someone says, you are already very close to controlling what people think. What if the halocaust didn't happen? Were you there? Did you see it?
Now, I'm not seriously denying the halocaust, but my point is, by supressing the speech to the contrary, Germany has effectively said, "this is the only correct way to think".
What about art? What about stuff like Cinemax movies that at least try to have a plot mixed in with the soft core fake porn? Where's the line? Is this an International domain? If so, then who does enforcement? What if.cx decides they don't want to lose the goatse revenue stream and decides not to participate? Are we going to send in the military to force them to not host porn?
I will soon be releasing a video titled "Virtual Porn: I am raping your kid-sister in front of your mother". Since this is protected free speech, I know you won't
Hehe, that's pretty funny, you should have posted it logged in, but that aside, it's not protected speech.
Under current law, it could be considered a form of libel, since basically you are communicating things that are untrue and damaging about someone. No additional law is needed, the libel laws are enough.
It also attempts to pass a law that would again ban "virtual child porn". This was struck down by the supreme court in the past, I don't know what makes them think it will stick this time. The supreme court really tore into it previously, basically calling it a thoughtcrime law.

wouldn't a 'mozillion' be a cool number?
Mozillion - The number of seconds it takes for Mozilla to start up.
Yeah, completely seperate, especially when "friends" of the politician get big government contracts. That money gets kicked back to the politician, finance reform or not, they will find a way. As long as the government is spending lots of money, there will be easy way to abuse the power.
Take away the government's power to spend money on so many things not authorized in the constitution, and corruption is lessened proportinally.
(crystal marked 10MHz does not give you 10MHz, usually you get either 9. something or 11.something MHz).
Holy shit man, I don't know where you are getting your crystals, but you need a new supplier.
The range values are probably "burnt-in" into the chip, so it is not possible to change them (and defeat the protection). If the frequency is not in the range, the protection circuitry triggers, that's all...
Then just change the reference crystal. It's always going to be impossible to prevent overclocking, you can only make it more difficult.
No, it's the actual CPU frequency compared to a "stable reference clock signal which is highly unlikely to be over-clocked"
Also, it's important to note that it is listed as a "deterrent". In other words, they know there will be a way around it, they just want to make it more difficult.

Thought...Not think. Thought you meant that. Argh. Mornings.
It's been -549 seconds since you last successfully posted a comment. Hrm.
Oh, I misunderstood. I think you meant Ugly PCB constructions as opposed to milled PCB.
How could "ugly" construction perform better on something so sensitive to impedance and trace layout and length as RF?

Or desert. Can't tell much about desert, it all looks pretty much like desert. :)
Did you go check the caliber of the bullets used?
Yeah, they should have found a body in a war zone that has been shot as opposed to killed by blast, one that just happens to have retained a bullet (not very likely with military rifles), dig the bullet out of the corpse, and then get out the calipers and measure the slug.

18th century? It was a lot easier to be good at it back then, all the materials and tools had been around for thousands of years.
These days, people are working with untested tools and untested materials often, which is probably why you see so many more engineering screw-ups.
