    You forget the 10,000 toliet seat was designed for use on bombers. You can use the toliet in sever turblance, and if the plane flips, you will not get shit all over yourself. In a combat situation, this is a bargian at 10k. Imagian if your taking a shit and you come under fire, with a convetional airline toliet you would be busy cleaning up, now that could cost you your life.

    If they could get both computes to share the same SCSI buss I would be impressed.

    I rember back in 1991 or so I had a friend that did this. He even wrote a program so the computers could pass network data over it.

    It never worked that well IIRC, but was a interesting proof of concept.

    In 1991 no Intel box could even come close the the Amiga.

    IIRC the CD32 came out that year, which was like a PS2. It had the AGA chipset, and had quite a few games releaced for it. I had a A3000, and later the A4000. I remember the huge difference in lemmings on it vs. my 486/dos computer.

  12. Re:Why are hard drive connectors male ?? on 1.8 Inch Removable Hard Drives Coming · · Score: 1

    Simple.

    Normal .1 inch header pins are large and would be prone to shorting out. Since you have 2 (IDE) or 7 (UW SCSI) connectors on a cable, if you only have one drive they could come in contact with the case.

    Now this reversed on SE/LVD SCSI drives, for some reason. I just wrap some Scotch 33 around the extra connectors just for protection. It's a small hassel for the extra preformance of SCSI.

    The 4000T was the top of the line, that's for sure!

    I had one that I had got out of the garbage. It had a PPC board, all scsi disks, a CD burner, 3 TBC IV, V-scope, a toaster 4000, and a flyer! You wont believe why it was thrown out.....

    Seams they NEVER dusted it out, and inches of dust made the power supply go bad. I cleaned it out, put a new PS in, and it booted up.

    All it needed was a mouse, and monitor. Mouse was easy, just a Bus Mouse (i.e. dumb mouse), the monitor was easy, the connector was not. Anyone ever seen a DB-23 connector, what kinda crack were the designers smoking when they decided to use this connector?

    Works wonderful for video editing, and live shots as well. This machine was truly before it's time. Hell in 1993 people were using Win 3.11, and a P100 was the top of the line.

  17. Re:Microwaves are potentially dangerous---no shit. on A Foundry in Every Kitchen · · Score: 1

    Well anyone that consults a lawyer about something they read on /. is not right.

    As for you comment about 12 year olds, that is a lot of crap. When I was 12 I was working on microwaves and other appliances. I have designed high power solid state amplifiers for 144 and 438 MHz. The latter was 10 active devices (Phillips BLV58 IIRC) fed with a driver stage in a class A configuration.

    I have built 10 Ghz radios that have an EIRP on the order of 10 watts. These things are truly testicle cookers, if used wrong.

    I have repaired TV sets with many thousands of volts on the 2ed anode.

    All this was done safely, with the proper precautions taken. That's why god made HV Probes!

    I should say that I had no help from any family members, in doing any of this. All you have to do is read enough appnotes, data sheets, and RF design books.

    Don't underestimate us either.

  18. Re:Microwaves are potentially dangerous---no shit. on A Foundry in Every Kitchen · · Score: 5, Informative

    First of all, most large caps is a microwave have 10 meg-ohm resistors on them to bleed off the charge. All you have to do is put a large screw driver across the cap to test if it is safe to handle. If the resistor is in good condition, nothing should happen, if not, you get one hell of a spark. No harm done to you, but maybe the screw driver!

    Now as for servicing a microwave, 9 time out of 10 they have a partial diagram in them, that shows the major componits. Once you have this, it is easy to work on one, as long as you know the basics of how a microwave works.

    Short version of how a microwave works (for food!). First, power comes into the unit, goes through a set-up transformer, is rectified, and smoothed though the cap(s). Then this high voltage is applied to the magnatron (the thing that makes microwaves), and the resulting radiation is couppled into a waveguide. In this waveguide is a metal disk with holes in it, that "stirs" the microve energy. From here it goes into the chamber, and heats your food. It accomplices because the water in food absorbs the 2.4 GHz radiation.

    That's how it works.
