  1. Use a trackball! on USB Foot Controls · · Score: 1

    One of my EE professors in college drove a trackball with his feet while both hands typed away. Really impressive to watch.

  2. Re:The most frustrating thing is.... on Monitor Draws Zero Power In Standby · · Score: 1

    Relays do not have to draw any current to remain on. You can get latching relays which require a pulse to change state, but are held in the new stay with a magnet. Problem solved.

  3. Re:Cablecard on MythTV 0.20 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think you are wrong about transfering the service. I believe the lifetime service option is for the life of the box, not transferable to other Tivos. Sorry.

  4. Server Managment Software on The Elusive Command Alias Function? · · Score: 1

    Check out a company called Blade Logic. They make server management software that probably can do what you are looking for. http://www.bladelogic.com/

  5. Re:Ah, Dusty on A Look Inside Virginia Tech's New Super Computer · · Score: 1

    Wait, inflamable means flamable?

  6. Re:Just got back... on 'Matrix Revolutions' Opens Today · · Score: 1

    Wow! The emperors new clothes are quite fetching. Wouldn't you agree?

  7. Re:Yay... on Radiofrequency Weapons · · Score: 1

    no, antiparallel is 180 degrees away.

  8. Cooling with dielectric? on Sun Unveils Direct chip-to-chip Interconnect · · Score: 1

    I bet they could bath the board in a dielectric liquid that would increase the capacative coupling, while also removing heat more efficiently. Not sure what this liquid would be, but those guys at Sun are smart, they can figure it out.

  9. Re:Mercury switch vs Gyroscope? on Gyroscope Gives CellPhones 'Tilt Control' · · Score: 1

    I assume this phone is using the MEMS gyros made by Analog Devices. These things are pretty damn cool.

  10. Re:Great for stamping holes. How about traces? on Nanoimprint Lithography · · Score: 1

    How about doping the silicon? Making transistors is more than just making lines out of silicon.

  11. Mousing with feet on RSI, WIMPs and Pipes; What Next? · · Score: 1

    If you have the dexterity with your feet you can work a trackball with your feet and keep your hands on the keyboard. I had a prof in college who was quite good at this. It was impressive to see hime typing with both hands and mousing with his feet.
