The same people who supposedly want to pay to colonize Mars. Why can't anyone pay for an experiment right here about a leisure society? Someone's gotta get on the job of actualizing social change.
Hopefully, since China was the last big pool of cheap human labor, can we please finally now get on with dealing with the fact that we don't need 100% employment anymore? How can we ensure a quality life for everyone now that we know machines can do a lot of the work? By all means, people should still be able to work, but why yank away everything from someone who'd rather do something else?
Well, without ionic or covalent chemical bonds (electromagnetics!), what do you think will happen? Gravity is a very weak force; you can charge up a party balloon with static electricity and it will stick on the ceiling, against the gravity of the entire planet.
Well this video isn't being shown in schools so yeah, I missed your point... Kids don't exist just in schools. If anything, they exist far better out of school.
Radio Shack was the place to go for this kind of stuff decades ago. I bought "Getting Started in Electronics" handbook (in Forrest M. Mims IIIrd's signature style), when I was a kid. Sure, Radio Shack was expensive for parts but I wasn't building much. A bag or two of resistors and capacitors, the resistor color code cardboard "slide rule", and a few ICs. Ooh and the small white breadboard. Radio Shack was the place I proudly bought my first floppy disc ever (not the drive, the actual disc) for my Commodore 64. I worked a lot that summer to afford these toys.
Then when I discovered Active Electronics and Addison's surplus in Montreal's more industrial areas, I stopped buying so much at Radio Shack.
I built a RAM expander for my VIC-20 with parts from Active.
Radio Shack did carry various specialty ICs like the SPO-256 speech synthesizer, the plastic fiber optic transceiver kit, etc...
Oh sorry, I am woolgathering, what was my point? Oh yeah, this stuff was around decades ago. I'm pretty sure it was around a century ago as well if I go by the vintage radio ads from the 1910s onwards.
Didn't he come up with something like this? Or am I misremembering one of his inventions? I recall someone putting a mound of shaving cream-looking stuff on a bomb and it went phut instead of boom. Then I remember Hurtubise demonstrating armor by being shot at.
This is why I drink at work. Of course I work at home now. Canadian Club Sherry Cask. It's a decent go-to whisky for everyday needs. Fridays is when I start with the single malt Speysiders... Holy crap I love drinking!
What would a hobbyist that can't handle a few logic chips do with a super fast DAC/ADC? No offense, but this sounds more like a gee-whizz hardware equivalent of a warez dood. You want a DAC ADC combo? It's called a 5$ audio card. If you need multi GHz sampling you can't even begin to do that properly with only hobbyist-level knowledge and equipment. Unless you are into building sub-samplers. But that's a very esoteric niche that long ago broke the multi-100 GHz barrier, so it's inaccessible even for well-to-do hobbyists. Again, what for?
I have a 14GHz sub-sampling scope from the 1960s, it's fun to keep working as a hobby and it is part of my lab, but people who actually need such measurements need traceability which I can't provide anyways.
You are better off just settling down and buying a USB oscilloscope.
I picked a fine week to stop sniffing glue, eh? I use DS mostly to document PCBs, which is 2D. I just saw various 3D functions and assumed it was more powerful than that, I guess...

How about we let people decide?

Well sure, there's that. But the other way gets you a 200$ Think Geek gift certificate.

What is this supposed to prove? Plenty of idiots have money in our society, money only has a tenuous correlation with intelligence.
...but science is how you know these things are happening. I'm not seeing if you have a point here at all.
So, how's your Morse key to HTTP work, exactly?

If they're atheist bombs, you don't deliver them by USPS.

Communicating isn't that hard.
Well, bad grammar never peaks, it seems.
Say, do you happen to live in Montreal?

Yes of course, and you play this perfect digital sound through 5$ earphones or super inefficient resonant speakers that distort by definition.
I was going to ask how to get keyboards and crumbs out of my pubes, but now you've made me nervous about asking. Thanks a lot.
Why aren't diesel spouts square?
I'll bet the same cultures "do" plenty of other stuff, like khat, betel, peyote, coca leaf, tobacco, etc...

A free AutoCAD-type program. Dassault Systemes Draftsight.
And I just lost my Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7 to Mitsubishi adapter plugs.
OK then one person can d/l the video and then sneakernet it to his or her pals and so on.
