I was poking around and found some sensors that are exactly what I need. Then I found Crystalfontz uses them for their PC temp sensors!
It's not just the IC probe, it's already assembled into a harness which can daisy chain, and they sell the extra sensors here: http://www.crystalfontz.com/cgi-bin/pricing.pl?pro duct=cables
Irony for getting my facts wrong? I'm going to assume you meant the part where I said "If he apologized, I don't recall seeing it."
Which is 100% correct.
Was there some other fact I got wrong? After all, you pluralized the word "Fact" which would mean I got several things wrongs.
If you like, I can apologize in the Dan Rather manner, ahem:
We (not I) made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry. It was an error that was made, however, in good faith and in the spirit of trying to respond to a comment on Slashdot.
He produced forged documentation in order to influence an election. As an investigative journalist with the backing of a billion dollar company and decades of experience, he has no excuse.
His "apology" does not say what his actual mistake was, or what he's apologizing for. It was a hit piece that attacked Bush and he did not apologize to him. He did not say he did anything wrong and he attacked the people who pointed out that his memos were forgeries.
I've been trying to design a computer controlled distiller. The worst part is trying to come up with the temperature sensors and the interface.
The sensors have to be able to go a bit over 100C, and I'm still not sure how to interface them with the PC. Too many temperature interfaces will only accept one or two probes.
What, you would rather have people believe everything that comes out of some anonymous cowards piehole?
If that person brought out proof that Instapundit was being funded, then it be scrutinized, the response of Glenn would be measured, and some would believe and some wouldn't.
That has nothing to do with partisan, that's a rational reaction to the situation.
I'm assuming you're talking about the Forged Memo they put up. If they apologised, I don't recall seeing it. Dan Rather says that there's no evidence to say that those memos are forged.
Rather informed the Panel that he still believes the content of the documents is true because "the facts are right on the money," and that no one had provided persuasive evidence that the documents were not authentic.
http://www.rathergate.com/index.php?p=454
The Thornburgh-Boccardi panel ignored their own expert, who said these document "must have been produced on a computer.". To reach their conclusion that the documents aren't necessarily fakes, they just added a few lines to their report:
"Although his reasoning seems credible and persuasive, the Panel does not know for certain whether Tytell has accounted for all alternative typestyles that might have been available on typewriters during that era."
Will they let me train a backup/helper? No. They let me hire one, but I'm not allowed to train him out of fear, apparently, that I'd quit for greener and less stressful pastures as soon as someone was there to take over.
Are you serious? Ok, here's what you do, you train the guy you hired anyways. What are they going to do? Fire you? They're already afraid you're going to leave if you train the guy.
Huh? You link shows E10, which is the most common, and E85, which has 85% ethanol. Not a word about warranties.
During our little oil crisis, I started looking into making my own gas. I read somewhere that some cars can sense if you put in E85, and will adjust accordingly.
Islam doesn't NEED instructions on how to act civilized.
Yet, the instructions are in there, and then they become law. Ever try to change a law that was implemented by God?
Seperation of Church and state is a really really good idea.
Colombia is 95% Catholic, yet they have a massive, massive drug problem. And they have terrorism too. Should I blame Christianity? How come Cocaine comes from the Catholic countries anyway? You won't see Iran manufacturing it anytime soon.
Eskimos don't produce cocaine either. Because the coca plant doesn't grow in their ecospehere. A better comparison would be something like Opium, made from poppies, which will grow in the region.
Of course, you know very simple and obvious fact. Yet you try to mislead people.
Fatwas aren't issued to anyone who questions Islam, but the Ayatollah of Iran said Salman Rushdie should be killed for purposely insulting the religion. That was his view, and other countries didn't second him.
Excuse me? But did you just say someone SHOULD be killed for insulting a religon?
So, if I say the Christan faith has it's figuative head up it's ass, I should be executed?
Or, you can get 4 250GB drives for 130$, a case with good 120mm cooling fans 70$, a normal power supply 40$, and a plain motherboard with all the fixins for 150$
And you're at less than 800$. Sure, it's not 2.8 TB of storage, but 750GB is plenty, especially when you start compressing the video.
And because the RAID5 gives me some protection against hard drive failure, mine doubles as a file server.
So, for the price of a cheap emac, you can make one of these.:)
I was thinking along the same line. They probably have a problem with the price. I seriously doubt they'd sell a Mac for around the price of an expensive ipod.
They could, but they won't. I'm betting the price will be between 700-800 dollars also.
I thought it didn't stay coherent foever. From what I remember reading in the catalogs that listed the coherency length, cheap lasers only go a few inches.
The lab grade ones go farther, but I don't remember seeing any that went over 6 feet.
"Would a consumer rather buy a $500 headless Mac and a $100 CRT monitor then a $799 eMac?"
Yes. In fact, if this isn't just a rumor, I'll buy one.
"As an Apple Store employee, this just doesn't make sense to me. Why would they want to sell a $500 computer when the extra cost of a monitor would nullify the fact that it is a cheap Mac?"
500$ + 100$ = 600$ Cheap emac = 800$
Is the savings of two hundred dollars that confusing to you?
"Here is another example, you are very efficient at your job, and because of it can take a long lunch hour. Your boss realizes this and decides to give you more packages than somebody who is slower. However, instead of increasing your pay you just get more packages. Is that fair?"
You can program twice as fast as the next guy, so they give you twice as much work at the same wage.
You had to call the cops on a bunch of 11 year olds?
That's...sad.
Here's what you do. You go up to them, tell them to cut the crap, and take their laser pointer. I know people from socialist countries have a lot of trouble doing things without governement intervention, but sheesh!
Slashdot Mirror
What infrared digicam did you guys finally decide on?
I've been thinking about getting a digicam also for infrared pictures, some require you to take out the IR filter manually though.

It's the second from the bottom.
Which is 100% correct.

Nah. They learned. What you're seeing over and over again is new people hitting the same questions and reacting the same way.

This is why I am pissed. Journalists are already considered less trustworthy than lawyers and then they pull crap like this?
Yeah, carbon Dioxide is poisonous, like nitrogen is poisonous.
There's nothing on that page that proves your point beyond parroting "CO2 is toxic".
http://www.buteyko.co.uk/ButeykoTheory.asp
HOW MUCH CARBON DIOXIDE DO WE NEED?
For the cells of the brain, heart, kidney and other organs, our blood requires a concentration of: 6.5% carbon dioxide and only 2% oxygen.
THE AIR THAT WE BREATHE CONTAINS 200 TIMES LESS CARBON DIOXIDE THAN WE NEED AND 10 TIMES MORE OXYGEN THAN WE NEED.
The function of our respiratory system is not just to push air in and out but to maintain a very specific ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide.
Will they let me train a backup/helper? No. They let me hire one, but I'm not allowed to train him out of fear, apparently, that I'd quit for greener and less stressful pastures as soon as someone was there to take over.

I second Newegg. Their prices are great, and they have been rock-solid dependable.
Which for a business, is more important than the price.

Can't fit it easily into your pants pocket? The solution is simple and obvious. Don't wear pants.

I could be wrong though.

500$ + 100$ = 600$
Cheap emac = 800$
Is the savings of two hundred dollars that confusing to you?
It matters.
Seeing the specs, how much do you think those components will cost?
A small HD, not much memory, last generation G4...I'd be surprised if this added up to more than 250$ worth of parts.
When you pay your workers as little as possible, they don't give a damn.
Well ok, he left it. And he's still downloading music for free!
Now what?
My point is, if you can trust people with a leathal weapon, you can trust them with a laser.
"Here is another example, you are very efficient at your job, and because of it can take a long lunch hour. Your boss realizes this and decides to give you more packages than somebody who is slower. However, instead of increasing your pay you just get more packages. Is that fair?"

Fair or not, it seems normal to me.
What if you were just walking along and some heartless bastard shot you in the head with a normal gun?
Do you know how much you rely on your brains for just about everything you do?
Yep. Although a laser just isn't that useful for personal defense, it would be. You have a problem with that?
You had to call the cops on a bunch of 11 year olds?
That's...sad.
