Not quite. You're legally allowed to copy it, why therefore are they allowed to charge you for doing so? It's not a nice option they are selling to you. IT'S THE LAW.
It quite obviously points out the hot spots and cold spots. It identifies the towns ring road quite easily. All in all I would think it made for an excellent utility when it came to town planning (Your own town and for reviewing mistakes of other towns).
is stupid, not banning hacked x-boxes.
Give me a fucking break, give me the email addresses of 2 people who legitmately want to hack their xboxes to run tux-racer and not because they want pirate games.
There was some report I read recently that basically said "be glad that mobile phones do not work on the subway". I think it was a Japanese report.
It pointed out that since your inside the tube in close confines and with lots of other folk you would, due to reflections and such, get about 200 X the usual field strength than if you were outside.
Your cheques don't have to pass through bank clearing houses? Any cheque payed into a UK bank account only gets added to your actual funds 2-3 days later, once it's passed through checks.
The music? What the fuck else are they supposed to be selling you when they sell you a CD?
God man. PIRACY is not supposed to be an alternative offer. You can't say "well, i can download this for free from mr.mambo, what you going to do to up the ante?"
And you do realise that the other things like videos you mention, you could download those too.
I am from the UK and this has been going on for ages. He fled to Paris where he was hiding for a while with his girlfriend. He eventually returned to the UK where he wanted to have a fair trial or something.
He's ex-secret service, he knows things the government would rather were not revealed and he was serialising his book..would you prefer they assassinated him?
In Scotland a large chunk of people take a year off _after_ they Graduate.
In England a large chunk of people take a year off _before_ they go to University.
It's viewed as the most normal thing ever to do.
One good bet if you want to take a year out is to keep a diary to show how the year has benefited you, this way if you do get interview questions on the period off you can answer them properly.
Yeah, the evil with ESD is the fact that the majority of problems aren't 'Catastrophic', that is, don't fail immediately. This means you can blast something with ESD and have it pass final test before you ship it to your customer who then has it fail on site (And which if you follow the 10X law of manufacturing is a complete bummer)
The biggest bummer is that no matter how seriously you treat ESD, if anyone else in the chain of handlers/customers/suppliers haven't treated it with the same care it's still fuggled.
I'm sort of stuck to say anything other than "and?".
Basically for this stuff to be a problem it needs to be into widespread manufacturing and that's not going to happen for a long time (we are still using 0204 [2milx4mil]discrete components for example and 00501's are available and we aren't using them) due to the cost of production.
Otherwise, yes ESD is a problem and the only answer is better ESD handling and better circuit design to counter ESD issues. Current TTL electronics can be utterly blown by someone touching it so it won't be any different.
Um, knowing what a resistor looks like doesn't really mean anything. Well for one thing those 'resistors' are soon going to turn into blotches of resistive ink, how stupid will you look then if that's all you base your standing on?
I've a BEng(Hons) in electronics and electrical engineering and an MSc in Electronic Circuit Design and Manufacture and guess what, I don't have to strip wires!
You didn't say what course the Advanced Calculus and the intro to EE class was in but i hope to god it produces a wider spread of people than just those who like to play with breadboard.
Calculus to you means jack squat, for others the same is true of breadboard.
Fancy new systems like "Engineer-in-a-box" are required for producing fancy new space shuttles.
Out of interest, do you use spice simulators and stuff for your circuits or how do you produce your layouts beyond a doorbell for the house?

at least in the UK
Have no fear! CarrionFields Is a MUD that's alive and well. Come play!!!! (it's a kick ass pk/rp mud which is highly regarded on both counts)

What a suprise The United States of America doesn't bother it's arse singing up to little things like ENVIRONMENTAL controls.
stupid fucks.
You write extremely well for a non-native.
(Too well. I'm worried about writing this due to the number of mistakes that i'll make, and i'm native.)

It is out of service. It's locked up and non - functioning.

If you walk one yard with a tray of IC's and without ESD protection, you can blow them all.
don't want something bad to happen.
(it's actually less of a problem sucking as opposed to blowing)

d'oh! As an aside flip chip devices and stuff are still not common industry use (considering they have barely got the skill at BGA down pat.)
