I have to apologize: the PSI unit I mentioned is certainly not open source, but I mentioned it to give an idea of what is out there, proprietary or otherwise.
One of the nice side effects of emissions legislation in the past 10 years is that all cars since 1996 are required to have an on-board diagnostics port to which standard tools can connect and report on the vehicle's various operating parameters (ignition timing advance, manifold pressure/mass air flow, various temperatures).
On OBD-II equipped vehicles, the port is typically located to the right of the steering wheel in the driver's side footwell. It is trapezoidal.
There are many systems available for reading this information, from scan tools to computer interfaces.
It sounds like what you want is something like the PSI data display unit (DIN-sized). These connect up to OBD-II enabled cars.
The big problem you may run into is that the OBD-II standard requires only that the most basic parameters be reported to scan tools. Manufacturers are notorious for obscuring the most interesting information and it's typically been up to enthusiasts to reverse engineer manufacturers' proprietary additions to the OBD-II protocol.
F.Y.I. The worst you could do to a microwave by putting metal inside is break the magnatron, and when it breaks, it will just die, not explode or any cool shit like that.
I can vouch for this. We went to the county fair every year I was in high school and every fucking time the Magnatron was broken and it just sat there like some shitty UFO exhibit cum Christmas lights. This sucked because I heard they played Floyd inside and you could crawl on the walls like a spider. At least that's what all the kids a grade higher than us said. We usually ended the night at someone's house, stoned and eating microwave popcorn, the message here being that everything comes full circle (except of course that Magnatron).
Six others? OMG, and that didn't in the least suggest to you that maybe you're in the wrong kind of business?
How many IT companies have gone out of business in recent years? Does that dictate that the upstart firms with financial discipline and valuable products/services should pack up shop and close their doors? Because it's an industry many have failed in?
Sorry to go off-topic but since the question was about oscilloscopes I felt I had to add a logic probe!
The last time you bought a six-pack of Bud Light at the Piggly Wiggly, Anheuser servers most likely recorded what you paid, when that beer was brewed, whether you purchased it warm or chilled, and whether you could have gotten a better deal down the street.
You mean like what supermarkets have been doing for years (except with more resolution)?
You know I've bought a lot of embarrassing things at the corner market and haven't even gotten discount coupons for them during check-out at a subsequent visit (a shame). And to the point, I've never gotten any kind of marketing material from Trojans in the mail as a result of having bought ribbed at Safeway, so if someone's correlating my personal information with my condom-purchasing history, they're not being very enterprising (if they were, they'd have sold the information to my wife long ago).
What I'm saying is, there's a tacit assumption in the article that somehow your purchases are correlated with your name. That's more likely to be happening at your credit card company's clearinghouse than at the cashier's station.
You must mean JDK1.5 supports a 128-bit BigFuckingInteger type? Cool! I would officially like to indicate that "-1" in such a field means "INVALID HOST -- CONSULT VERISIGN SITEFINDER". Are you writing this down people?
Do any facilities exist in JDK1.5 which will facilitate automatic type conversion between "cousin" generic types such as the two ArrayList types you mentioned?
It is an excellent introduction to all kinds of business entities/structures including sole proprietorships, limited partnerships, general partnerships, S- and C-corporations, and of course limited liability companies. After reading this book you will have a pretty good idea of whether an LLC is right for you and there are instances when it's not.
LLC's are not corporations but can elect corporate tax treatment (which could be beneficial, for example, when your corporation is making under $75k per year in profit; the first $75k of corporate profits are currently taxed at a marginal rate of only 25%).
There are also many other subtleties to LLC's including variations on management and laws governing treatment of LLCs as securities.
My biggest take away from this book was that if you plan to pursue external financing sooner than later, you may actually want to incorporate (typically as a C-corporation) rather than form an LLC so as to simplify the process of giving equity (but not necessarily managerial control) to outside investors.
maybe they don't have as much street cred as they did in 1997 but they're not exactly hurting for cash either! regardless of whether you think they're overvalued, they are the touchstone of a lot of people's internet hopes! (to the tune of $32BB).
a lot of people are in for a rude awakening when google goes from being "really cool!" to "fiscally accountable!"
keep a close eye on google's privacy policy about 6 months after their insider trading blackout lifts...
Google was in beta for a really fucking long time.
Semantics semantics.
Whenever you make software or a service available to the public and it's functional enough that people come to use and depend on it, guess what, you have SHIPPED that software/service.
why don't you try buying something other than computer hardware or software?
Froogle has much more than computer stuff.
Because it still sucks!
froogle is generations behind Yahoo! Shopping, pricewatch, shopper.com etc.'s ability to distinguish actual items for sale from reviews, previews, and other non-merchandising content.
Yet froogle insists on attaching a price to every result returned on a search, often an incorrect one.
Often times a froogle search will turn up pages of "results," but when you go to sort by price, all of the sudden you wind up with only a handful of listings. In effect their software is saying, "well, I wasn't too sure about some of these."

EM field magnitudes obey inverse square laws so the difference between 1ft and 2ft can be significant.
Mine did it for a pearl necklace, I guess I got off cheap.
No, we are at the "Keyboard not detected, please hit F1 to continue" stage of his presidency, if you catch my drift.

The old model was: loss leading console hardware, profit-generating games
The new model is: loss leading hardware and games, profit generating subscriptions.
Next, you start recruiting volunteers. For every 25 volunteers you recruit, your base pay increases by paid $5/hr.
The best part is, every time one of your recruits signs up 25 additional developers, you get a $25 per week bonus!
Really, you can't lose!
syntactic sugar

I know, I know, to forgive is divine, but attitudes like yours send the message "it is OK to be irresponsible as long as you say you're sorry."
Am I off-base?
are you serious? this dude bagged 1500 chicks per day, you think he had any problem getting digits?

"search engine optimization" tactics are reason #1 why it is not game over in the search engine space.
deciding relevance is NP-hard.
Does that make you a karma tease?
