  1. Re:radio harvested with piece of rock (galena) on Radio Energy Harvested With Inkjet-Printed Antenna · · Score: 1

    True - I used to have a crystal set that I'd occasionally hook up to a digital analogue clock and it would run fine throughout the day and up until one of the more local stations went off the air for the night.

  2. Re:Contempt on Oracle Acquires K-splice For an Undisclosed Amount · · Score: 1

    No, but they act as the interface between the organisation and its customer base. 'Rep' means 'representative' so you might as well tell them how you want them to represent you (an unhappy customer) in their feedback and internal reports - assuming they bother to 'tell it like it is' to the grown-ups.

    Meh, my device uses Sapphire and I call my positively charged regions 0s and my negatively charged regions 1s, so I'm in the clear.

    Yes, we have moved on to eIntrusions and iIntrusions - and how about Intrusions 2.0

    Even the crystalline entity needs to relieve itself once in a while.

  7. Re:Why? on TI vs. Calculator Hobbyists, the Next Round · · Score: 2

    Just think about it for a moment; if someone managed to deliberately or accidentally bypass the maths integrity checks they could actually divide by zero and the whole universe would collapse in on itself - this would really ruin everyone's day.

    Typical! You wait ages for a post to point this out and then two arrive together!

    You plug the USB port into a powered hub (to power the board) and the peripherals into the hub too.

    I have emailed them and suggested they consider the following and I'm sure they've had tons of others asking for a network connection.

  14. Re:This is good on Limewire Being Sued For 75 Trillion · · Score: 1

    This should be let run as it is - think about it: the lawyers are probably working on a percentage basis for a win so...The RIAA is awarded 75 trillion...Limewire goes bankrupt...the RIAA owes the lawyers x% of 75 trillion and goes bankrupt...the lawyers get nothing.

    OK, a degree of discomfort for the Limewire guys, but overall a good potential outcome.

  20. Re:CentOS on Red Hat Stops Shipping Kernel Changes as Patches · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have put on my 'not sure if serious' face as I am not sure if you are trolling or just ignorant of the situation, but rather than give my perspective, have a read from an earlier Slashdot thread on the subject titled "Is CentOS hurting Red Hat?":

    http://linux.slashdot.org/story/07/11/04/1331247/Is-CentOS-Hurting-Red-Hat

    ""I'm pretty sure RedHat hate CentOS."

    1. No, we don't. At least, not most of us -- because most of us actually *understand* the business we're in. That's why we're making all this nice money. If we did hate CentOS, we could make it awfully difficult for them in any number of ways -- delaying updates, hiding marks and making them play "where's Waldo" every release, that sort of thing.

    2. The "coy mumbo jumbo" about the upstream vendor has to do with trademark protection, not hate. We don't want "Red Hat" to turn into "Kleenex".

    3. Here's a question: why is there no CentOS equivalent based on SuSE products? Think about it.

    4. A lot of the significant people in the CentOS community are actually important and respected members of the Fedora community as well. That way, Red Hat benefits from the work of the more savvy CentOS users. That's how open source works, you see.
