Many years ago there was an ad for a device that you plugged inline with the distributor (old car technology) that would amplify the voltage to the spark plugs and give the engine more power.
It was billed as, "With transistor."
That was back when transistors were the big buzz word. I was a noob electronics technician and I knew transistors had three leads. How could a transistor possibly amplify when only two leads were being used?
I found one on the side of the road and I tore it apart and, sure enough, it was "with transistor."
The transistor wasn't connected to anything. It was just stuck in a wad of tar.
Thank you to those who brought me up to speed with links and stuff. I appreciate it.
The takeaway for me is this:
I started computing in 1978 way before there was an Internet and I grew with bulletin boards all the way up through chats, forums, comment sections and slashdot comments.
Trolling is simply background noise that veterans just blow off.
To those AC who bash women on line I have two words for you:
Slashdot Mirror
... are not always a positive correlation.
Screw Bill.
What does DiCaprio think?
No, wait ...
Paris Hilton.
... what about bush meat?
And assholes continue to pollute the conversation.
You are the fucking problem.
Thank you for posting this towards the top.
I was looking for the first dipwad post like this and you made it easy for me, asshole.
Men are shooting themselves in the foot when they treat women like shit.
It's evil, it's unfair and it sucks tater toes and it's nothing more than a violation of human/civil rights.
For the record, some if us have IQs higher than asphalt and all the fucking misogyny is a REAL problem for us.
Any male who disagrees with that wouldn't make a good wart on a man's ass.
You're full of shit as a Christmas turkey and you're the problem.
Fuck you.
I agree with you, but a question I'm more concerned about is, "How long before we see corporations tighten up their stuff?"
Personally, I don't see that happening until some major lawsuits are filed.
This is interesting. I have never worked with a diagram like that.
Thanks.
Well, fry me for an oyster!!!
Very informative. This is the first I've heard of it. I had a feeling it was a labeling convention outside my scope.
Thank you.
I forgot about this but ...
I read about people hardening systems against Y2K and then testing by changing system clocks forward to "see what would happen."
What would happen sometimes is that their license would expire and they would have to explain what they did and ask to be forgiven.
I had a feeling this unfamiliar numbering scheme was probably not local to me.
I read that before. My takeaway, I guess is that Intel pulled out because some blogger prattled on in an apparently drug-induced random fashion.
idk
I am an electronics technician and have been one since 1964 and I've never heard of that nomenclature.
It's 2.2 K, and 1.5 M.
Period.
But I'm America-centric which often bites me in the butt. :)
I don't know about that. Though I lived through it, I don't know who first coined the phrase, "Y2K."
It could have been the software industry or it could have been the hardware industry, or it could have been IT or a blogger.
Ah ... grasshopper ...
You will learn as, you progress in your journey, that convenience is a forever code.
I give you, Y2K.
... the reason I poot a so much because I'm just checking on her health and stuff.
... legislate to regulate.
Until the likes of JP Morgan Chase feels pain, this crap will continue.
We need security liability laws.
... big pharma will love this. Facebook is getting to be like the goddam department of motor vehicles where you have to register all your stuff.
People need to realize Facebook is not the IRS. It's an ENTERTAINMENT site. Taking it seriously is a big mistake.
Reminds me ...

... why is it always Google? Momma always did like Google, best.
Where's all the OTHER search engines?
... anyone who puts sensitive stuff on a USB is stupid. [/blame_victim]
The weakness of Tor is proper implementation. Those who think they know how to do it right are a;most always wrong.
I used Visicalc on a TRS-80.

So it is written, so let it be done.
