  1. Small? on 8th Annual AUV Competition Results · · Score: 1

    A 32M thumb drive is small? I'm sorry, but in my book you don't get to play the small card until you are at least under the old DOS real-mode 640K limit.

  2. Re:These are called stepper motors. on Electric Cars as Fast as Ferraris · · Score: 1

    We had some problems with motors that we were testing for an airborne application. Icing and vibration were particular problems. In retrospect, the ice was probably more of a geartrain problem...

  3. These are called stepper motors. on Electric Cars as Fast as Ferraris · · Score: 1

    These are pretty common in the control industry. They are much lighter, but I'm not clear on whether regenerative braking would still work. Compared to DC brush or brushless motors, they traditionally don't work so well at temperature extremes, or when something gums up the works a little. Perhaps these guys are going to come up with a better solution to these problems.

  4. dang! on Megafauna Extinction Due to Climate · · Score: 1

    Damn post-hoc ergo proctor-hoc fallacy.

  5. Energy Savings? on Sunlight in a Tube · · Score: 1

    How long does it take to recoup the energy used to manufacture miles of visual light conduit?

  6. Metric system. on de Icaza: Rest of World Will Force US Into Linux · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Just like they've forced us to use the metric system.

  7. Re:Mathematical Relationship on Suit Up Or Ship Out? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, direct relationship. I really ought to finish writing my post at the same time I start it.

  8. Mathematical Relationship on Suit Up Or Ship Out? · · Score: 4, Funny

    There is an inverse relationship between the amount spent on clothes, and the amount of bull slung at work. Notice how well lawyers dress...
