I searched hard for the "duplicate civilian". I think is the guy squatting on the left. Immediately to the right of soldier's knee is that same squatted image. Unless there's something else I'm missing..
AC, if you are going to flame, at least make an ounce of sense.
So if I was a geek that spent hours making needlessly detailed and convoluted lists to make a simple decision between two minor luxury items, that would make me more fun at parties?
When faced with a similar choice, instead of spending time making a needlessly detailed comparison, I'll work a few hours overtime this week and simply purchace both devices.
It's a freaking frequency counter. I think I might have an old Don Lancaster circuit book from the 1970's that has a similar circuit. I have a Logic 101 book from college that describes a similar method.
Sheesh! They'll be trying to patent the AND gate next.
There's three user programmable I/O lines. Connect that to a small FPGA, and the possibilities are endless. You can do just about anything you want with a 3-wire interface. Heck, 2 wires is enough for things like I2C and SMBus, but three makes life a little easier.
The RJ-45 widget IS the coinnection. You could put all your applicances on your LAN. Your Ethernet would plug right into this thing, and it's small enough to fit into a toaster.
I'd be more interested in having web based interfaces to my Tivo, TV, stereo and other home theater stuff. I think the toaster example is not intended to be taken seriously.
I tried to come up with a "cereal" port joke, but just couldn't. Sorry.
I don't personally understand it. Does anyone know why inductive charging shouldn't qualify for zero emissions?
I don't know for sure, but probably some genius in the Cal State government thought "Hey, induction uses a magnetic field. That's an emission!"
It's very probable. I live in California, and the voters here send the stupidest, sack of s*** mother-effers that you have ever seen in your life into office. I am talking about the lowest form of scumbag life you have ever seen. This current governor and legislature anally raped the largest budget surplus into the largest deficit in just two years. If you ever wanted to know the harm Democrats can cause when unfettered, come on out to California.
In the North you have the final outpost of the Hippie movement, and in the South you have all the illegals looking for benefits. In the Center of it all is a vast pile of desperate, attention seeking lunatics who still think BDSM is a wild new thing and that anyone outside a few elderly folk in Iowa finds them shocking.
And then the absolute zero loser hypocrites (the politicians admonish people for their gas guzzling habits while the politicians themselves drive state subsidized SUVs and luxury cars) in office appoint people to these air and resource management boards that literally drive a practicing agnostic like me to use the word "evil" when describing them. One guy, Democrat Steve Peace, was basically the sole architect of the whole electricity crisis.
Peace's reward for causing one of the largest utility screwups of the century was to become one of Governor Gray Davis' power brokers and a lifestyle beyond the dreams of most here on/.
And the ignorant voters just eat it all up, bend over, spread their ass cheeks, and ask for another, please, sir.
Just a small part of the reason I tend to root for the asteroid.
But, hey, the weather's nice.:-)
Depends on what the email is (duh!)

The Tyranny of Email
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
In an engineering environment like mine, the conversations carried out via email are frequently technical, and commonly have diagrams and URLs pasted into them. That's hard to duplicate on the telephone.
It creates a paper trail so we can later go back and follow the thought processes that led to either the award winning design that saved the world, or the "oops" that irradiated Canada.
Because GIFs are still an efficient, non-lossy bitmapped format for NON-photographic images, such as charts and diagrams. This is an area where SVG can eventually save the day, but until they are widely implemented and used, GIFs very much have a use. They may continue to have a use for very complicated line art or tables where the equivalent SVG description might exceed that of the GIF in size.
"The First Amendment absolutely guarantess that every man, woman and child in this country can have unrestricted access to hot lesbian action 24 hours a day," said Carla Toricelli of the ACLU splinter cell Parents For Porn. "Now web owners don't have to do any actual work other than tossing up the latest, repetitious photo set of naked people licking each other."
"This is great," said Skeet Malone, owner of the fetish site Plumpers Unlimited. "Libraries and schools are how we develop new markets and lifelong addicts. We're even thinking of making the first month free. After that, all their desires are belong to us."
"Porn fans should take pride in their unique tastes, but shouldn't have to give actual names when accessing their lovely adult craft sites," said Dr. Richard Anderson III, the political correspondent and columnist for 'Juggs' magazine. "They should be able to have anonymity, much like the brown trenchcoat provides some protection for the connoisseur of fleshy cinema in adult art houses across the land. Why I hear Paul Reubens was wearing a lovely London Fog number when he was arrested."
"There's no shame in that," said Anderson III. "Everyone needs some double-D action now and then."
so you want to raise very stupid children? this idea of yours is the stupidest I have ever heard.
Wow, if that's the *stupidest* idea you have ever heard, you must never watch the news, read newspapers, etc.;-) A politician, celebrity or activist can spout ten stupider ideas every minute when properly caffeinated.
There are valid arguments to delaying the introduction of computers to a child. You can do a search for them online. It's a debatable idea, but not outright stupid, and to dismiss it so completely is blinkered.
There's more to life and thinking than computers. The idea that delaying computers until the teen years will lead to "stupid children" in "trailer parks" is, quite frankly, extremely bizarre. I didn't start using computers until I saw my first Apple II in school, yet now I win engineering awards and earn six figures.
Although I note you hedge your post later by mentioning physics and astronomy, so even you seem to realize that computers are not some sort of magic pill to make kids smarter.
With what computers did Gödel, Escher, Bach grow up?
Dr. Bonabeau takes us from his childhood nightmares of carnivorous wasps to applying the theories of swarm intelligence to solving real problems in the business world."
For example, unleashing your army of carnivorous wasps to eat key performers at the competition.
Manager 1: "Where's Engineer Bob? He's supposed to finish project X-12 this week."
Manager 2: "He got eaten by carnivorous wasps."
Manager 1: "Wow. Sucks to have been him. Hey, that leaves us free for golf after lunch."
One of those there Muslim types would just love to get one of our precious Estes model rockets, preferably a multistage, F-size engine model, and tip it with an Illudium Pu36 Explosive Space Modulator! Did you people learn nothing from Bugs Bunny cartoons!? They want to appease their fairy tale god!
Ban the rockets now! Let them live on in our precious memories and preserve our precious bodily fluids from alien threats! Semper fi fo fum!
And to drive my point home, I shall now barrage you with exclamation points! Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why should a state hand over money when they do not depend on any resources from the state the are giving the money to.
Because your state is where you are (theoretically, at least) represented. You are not represented by the other state, and thus you cannot be taxed by their system without representation.
Slashdot Mirror
Influenza, measles, mumps and polio are all RNA based viruses.
DNA viruses include herpes and hepatitis. I think HIV is a DNA type but I don't recall offhand.
Nah, that was the Elian Gonzales photo... ;-)
Aaaaauuuugggggghhhh!!!!!!!!!
Personally, I want Grand Theft Auto, Vatican City. You play a preist gone bad, and you can jack the Pope-mobile.
And you can wear the big hat.
I'll leave the pedophile jokes to others.
Which, of course, raises the possibility of dropping "bunker busters" on the offices of spammers. ;-)
I fully support this idea.
AC, if you are going to flame, at least make an ounce of sense.

You see what I mean?
Time is money, kids.
Sheesh! They'll be trying to patent the AND gate next.
Which is probably why he put "hack" in quites.
Bingo!
I'm demanding my boss order me a developer kit.

I can see it now. "Dr. Watson reports answer hazy. Try again later."
