  1. Johnson controller? on BrewPi: Raspberry Pi and Arduino Powered Fermentation Chamber · · Score: 1

    I know about PID and fuzzy, but what the hell is a Johnson controller?

  2. Re:Get rid of the penny? pff on Canada Rolls Out Plastic Money · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing you're North American? Pretty much the rest of the world sensibly includes tax in the displayed price.

  3. Re:Still too pricey per gig for mass storage on Intel Replaces Consumer SSD Line, Nixes SLC-SSD · · Score: 1

    Which is why you get a real ATX motherboard with 4 (or 6 for upper class Intel) slots rather than a little microATX board with no expansion capability.

    Every microATX motherboard I've seen in the last couple of years has four RAM slots. Both AMD and Intel.

  4. Re:"Thunderbolt SATA bus interfaces"? on Intel Unveils SSDs With 6Gbit/Sec Throughput · · Score: 1

    Yes, somebody is probably confused, but I think we will eventually see hard drive enclosures with a Thunderbolt port on the outside and a PCI-e to SATA 3.0 bridge chip inside.

  5. Re:"real holography" on A Kinect Princess Leia Hologram In Realtime · · Score: 5, Informative

    The article linked to in the article http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2011/video-holography-0124.html explains the actual holographic video generation part in more detail. They are using arrays of lasers to make fringe/interference patterns. This IS "real holography", just very low resolution and framerate.

  6. Standardization of Laptop LCD Interfaces on Goodbye, VGA · · Score: 1

    Hopefully this will mean that it will one day be possible to swap a laptop LCD with another one from a completely different manufacturer.

    Right now every laptop manufacturer seems to use different electrical configurations, connectors and EDID.

  7. Re:MMMMMMM! Origami! on Programmable Origami · · Score: 1

    Imagine a computer with hardware that literally reforms its self to accomplish new tasks on the fly.

    Reconfigurable computing is already possible with FPGAs. You can't go and buy commodity x86-type hardware such as CPUs or GPUs just yet, but "soon" (sooner than practical nuclear fusion, later than DNF) it will happen.
