  6. Re:VA? Watts? on Do-it-yourself UPS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    W=P=E*I ONLY for purely resistive loads.
    W == less then E*I for inductive loads, like computers, motors, etc... anything with a power factor less then 1. On the other hand, VA == E*I for any device, and gives the total amount of power required by the device, not how much it is using.
    (E == volts, I == amps)

  7. Re:Be Careful on Do-it-yourself UPS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    YES! Putting a diode across an AC line is a GREAT way to rectify the power, and thus turn AC into pulsed DC. Oh wait, i'm sorry, i forgot you are a flaming idiot

  8. YRO? on RoadRunner Co-Opting "Organization" Headers · · Score: 1

    What does this have to do with YRO? Doesnt seem like any rights are violated here.

  9. Interesting, but.. on Historic Bucky Dome Needs Help · · Score: 1

    Are these of any practical use? You'd think they would be more popular if they actually provided a solution to some kind of problem..

  10. Re:FCC on New Lighting Technology To Wipe Out Wi-Fi Access? · · Score: 1

    That is interference between _licensed_ products, not between licensed and unlicensed products that you mentioned in your original message. If you are trying to back up a story, stick with it. Dont change it around.

  11. Re:Squatters on New Lighting Technology To Wipe Out Wi-Fi Access? · · Score: 1

    Yes exactly. Your original message implied that 802.11b devices didnt 'belong' in the 2.4G ISM band. Thank you for your retraction.

  12. Re:Squatters on New Lighting Technology To Wipe Out Wi-Fi Access? · · Score: 1

    Hey Stupid! All the ISM users (like Wi-Fi) _DO_ have a legitimate claim to the 2.4G band, but priority is given to _licensed_ users. I dont think this company is buying a license to this band, so they _MUST_ play nicely with other users.

  13. Re:FCC on New Lighting Technology To Wipe Out Wi-Fi Access? · · Score: 1

    Man you are stupid! Read the comment above about part 15, specifically the part about "Must accept any interference recived, including interference that may cause undesired operation".
    Now look at your boss' cell-phone. Note the lack of this message, and the lack of "This device may not cause harmful interference".
    Now go away and actually study this kind of thing before you come back.

  15. G3 AIO on Apple Releases New PowerBook and the eMac · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Looks like the new eMac is filling the void apple made when they pulled the G3 A-I-O, which was also only available to the education market

    Note that you have Powerbook G3 (Series), Powerbook G3 (Bronze), Powerbook G3 (Firewire), and then just "Powerbook G3"

  22. Re:Two words. on Make Your Own Transparent iBook · · Score: 2, Informative

    Fine. But most of them did not. Also note that "Powerbook G3" technically refers to the Kanga G3, the one in the 5300 case, while "Powerbook G3 Series" refers to the first curvy ones thru the last FW models. Everything up to and including the bronze G3 didnt have a airport slot b/c airport had not come out yet.

    Oh yes, the Powerbook G3 has really great Airport range, what with its LACK of built-in airport

  24. Re:Citrix and "thin" dont go together on Thin Clients in a Computer Lab Environment? · · Score: 1

    Again, this doesnt make sense. The server should be situated near the clients, you wouldent put it on the other side of the campus

    Universities have enough problems with bandwidth, imagine having to share all your applications over that pipe with all the mp3s and video traffic!
    Unless you are immensly retarded, you would not be doing either of the following:
    • Running your thin clients over the uni's internet connection
    • Using hubs, so the computer lab traffic is shared with the dorms
