mine didn't even have a floppy drive, but it did have a cassette tape player interface. And loaded with 16K (that's right, K) DRAM, expandable to 64K (that's still K). It booted to ROM BASIC.
But we used it to develop a security system. Not much other practical use.
nope, it's still single phase. it's stepped down with a center-tap transformer, yielding 240 across the line, 120V from each line to ground. the 2 lines are 180 degress out of phase from each other.
In a 3 phase system, it measures 208V line to line, 120V from each line to ground. the phases are 120 degress out of phase from each other (360/3), hence the reduced measured/real voltage.

nearsighted (you can see near) = - diopters,
farsighted (you can see far) = + diopters.
I've had lots of people that I know get laser surgery with excellent results, one with bad results. It's not cosmetic to most of them, it's a better quality of life. I've been wearing glasses since I was 7 years old, 40 years ago. I hate glasses and I wore contacts for over 15 years. The only reason that I don't get it done is because I a lot of bench work on fine-pitch surface mount components and my severe nearsightedness (20/1000, -8 diopters) allows me to see VERY close. I know from wearing contacts, I would loose that. So now I'm basically nearsighted AND farsighted. I'm stuck with glasses no matter what I do.
to my rant to them about adding advertisement to their web-mail page:
"These ads have been put in place to help subsidize the cost of this webmail service so rates for your Road Runner service do not have to increase." This is from Columbus Ohio, Time Warner Road Runner. Doesn't sound like they are going to drop rates anytime soon. They're still trying to "maximize profits". Someone there must have just gotten their MBA.
did I mention that it's free (for non-commercial use)?

And a virus program called AVG.

It's hard to get updates sometimes, but did I mention that it's free, too?
Anybody else heard of AVG?
The motor makes practically no noise. the last time that I checked, the air still needs to be moved.
the problem is that Industrial Designers LOVE them

I've worked at Fitch and NPI, and all of the industrial designers love them. A major client wants them on every consumer appliances that we've designed. They're different, it's a fad.
Anybody know about the eye's response to blue, as opposed to red/green/orange? Is that the attraction?
in China, traffic laws are just a suggestion. I just spent 2 weeks theres.
We should be impressed that drivers in the US and Europe are are good as they are.
(Pulse Width Modulation, PWM) of the power to the electromagnets. That frequency can be changed, within limits. I've been on mag-levs at Kings Island (Ohio) years ago, they are a bit annoying.
there were still using the 4 prong guy into the 70's. I have a house built in 1973 with a couple of them still. but now a bunch of RJ11s, 100baseT wires and jacks, 802.11b through the air, 6 cable tv runs...
I put three-mile island in the same catagory as the Hindenburg: whenever the news media writes about hydrogen power (in any form), they always have to mention the Hindenburg. Same thing with nuclear power and three-mile island. That drives me crazy.
The first viewing of the reactor at three-mile island was provided by radiation-hardened cameras provided by the company that I was working for at the time: Diamond Electronics (Ohio).
Until the general population is educated (not likely) about how far we've come with fail-safe controls, we're doomed to not use nuclear generators for electric generation.
If course, I would NEVER use a PC operating system for controls, not even Linux. The controls should be a whole bunch of independant control systems (less than 4K of code each), all tied together in a triple redundant scheme. But then I'm an old embedded software guy.
yep, the last 2 places that I setup a lab in, I've bought a decent digital scope AND a Tek 465 or 475. Sometimes you've got to see the REAL signal, glitches and all.
you're only partially correct. the cost to repair the car is only part of their equation. the other parts are: where you live (how many other idiots live and drive near you), and your driving history. I believe that your driving history plays a big part, based on what I have to pay for teenagers that have a couple of tickets and 2 small fender benders.

same stuff. I know from the technical side.

asshole may be valid, Geoge Carlin's routine was from the the early '70s. I'll be that you can say tits on TV now.
on TV (according to George Carlin) are: shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits.

and what do you do if you don't have a dominant eye?

By the time that I get out of work, I never get to see it. Plus bright sunshine hurts my eyes.

not because they are better drivers, but because they drive less. that's what I've been told.
