It's us sighted people who are expected to bend over the barrel.
I hope he's comfortable with the fact that he just lost the goodwill of a few hundred thousand geeks (who are among the heaviest readers). Good luck with that, champ.
I found Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits (Gray/Hurst/Lewis/Meyer) to be a good book on deep-down transistor electronics. It is very theoretical, as you are looking for, and will support a strong understanding of analog transistor circuits.
I bought the "developing country" paperback edition for a lot less than $115 or whatever Amazon wants for the hardcover. Not a word is different.
Chris Onstad has been a real ground-breaker in terms of not only stretching the limits of the web comic medium (which itself stretches the limit of the daily comic medium), but also into coordinated work in many media. The Achewood characters have blogs. One had an advice column for a while. There are "non-fiction" writings about Achewood the town, about a century-old fighting event. There is a lengthy tribute to Hardy Boys classics, the Nate Small stories, themselves referenced in the comic. There is painted and sketched artwork. This doesn't even get into the above-average merchandising, including hand-screened shirts, signed strips, posters, cookbooks and kitchenware.
I consider Onstad's refusal to "color within the lines" of traditional daily comic format to be to his credit.
The only way to understand and really dig on Achewood is to read it from the beginning. Character development is a lot more important than gags here, and not every strip has a punch line, but it's generally rewarding in the end. Achewood is one of the few web comics I can stand. It's up there at the top with Space Moose for me.
Joining a union is optional in the US -- land of the free, and all that crap -- but in certain fields, you just don't get work without it. And if you did, you'd have union members treating you like a picket-line-crossing scab, which can mean anything from jeers to property vandalism to bodily harm.
This is closer to "news for nerds, stuff that matters" than about 80% of what makes it to the main page. Also, it's humor-free (which doesn't preclude it from posting here, I guess). Why here?
1. Disallow import of old songs into the new game. Block ears while gamers whine.
2. Write software which transfers old songs to new game. Donate this programmer time to The Kids or whatever.
3. Write software which transfers old songs to new game. Hit the user for the price of a Big Mac, and watch a huge portion of your users kick in for it.
Which of these is the best plan for Harmonix's continued existence?
I realize that all true contenders for the Presidency will be well-connected. It is folly to think otherwise -- unconnected politicans are not serious contenders for the highest political post in the world. I just find him more unconnected than McCain, and WAY more unencumbered than H.R. Clinton.
It's not that he is morally above having connections. It's just that he lacks the age and/or high political experience which bring these connections in force.
I don't have to admit that. The left-wing spite for Cheney and his faithful VP Bush is pretty well-deserved and not hard to understand -- we're now fighting two wars in the Middle East, one of which should have ended long ago and the other of which shouldn't have started. The American dollar is weaker than American beer. One after another Constitutional bound has been overstepped and ignored. I can't imagine an administration doing much worse. (It is important to note that Bush/Cheney does not represent ANY of the best traditional qualities of the Republican party. They aren't Republicans, they're Neocons. Might as well be a party of its own.)
On the other side, I live in Massachusetts, bluest of the blue states, and I don't know anyone who actually thinks Obama is gonna march us into the promised land. I support him because his stated ideas are mostly compatible with mine, and I believe him to be quite politically unconnected when compared with McCain and Hillary. The old political network, on both sides of the aisle, has failed me. I want it gone. Obama represents my best chance of that.

Especially with that shiny new patent.
Of course they are. Of course they are. It's not bad when "we" do it.

Some really fresh AA batteries to make this work.
I don't think 'pretentious' is quite the right word, but holy hell, fuck everyone on Assetbar.
It is just like Homestar Runner. It is exactly like that. That is what Achewood is like.

Early 80's? Where'd you go to school, Tomsk?
IANAL but I believe the proper term is "shotgun mother-in-law".
Or, put another way, the perpetrators were linked with an enormous, international child porn ring.
This might be the first time the Secret Service has encountered the Streisand Effect.
Black Flag wrote "TV Party", and your parody did not come close to evoking the original. And Damaged is one of my favorite albums.
Keeping the NS in place allows programs from NeXTSTEP to be recompiled on OS X without modification. Win.
Besides, what do we change it to? 'X' implies the X Window System. 'OSX'? How about what happens when Mac OS 11.0 comes out?
If it ain't broke...

Do you do crafts? Because that's one hell of a strawman you just put together for us.
A trick for the rude part: just learn one sentence in french, then more parisian would try to speak back to you in english.
This actually works almost every time. Also useful in Quebec.
