Agreed. My wife just had a situation where she had pneumonia that went undetected by a doc at Care Now in the Dallas area. She used the Care Now clinic since it had more convenient hours vs her regular doctor. When they finally realized she had pneumonia they prescribed meds that were not effective against pneumonia. Luckily when she realized she was not getting better she got in to her regular doc. Long story short, it could have killed her. Don't trust those doc in a box shops. Question everything.
It can handle 40A but for how long? Those large caps on the "killer" device can hold that up much longer than the relatively small storage cap in an ESD gun.
I've been involved in firmware development for implantable medical devices as well as other devices and it's simply not true that assembly has much use this day in age. Unless you are coding for one of the small memory footprint AVR or PIC devices you are not going to get better results working in assembly.
No kidding. When did the "f word" become mandatory in Slashdot discussions? These days it seems like half the people that post here need some anger management classes.
Lab equipment (scopes, power supplies,...), prototype builds of devices, pre-certification testing, etc. I'm in the EE/embedded side and we definitely have non-IT expenses.
I have a couple RPis and they are useful learning tools but there is a lot more information that this group could spread to those to help the community. One of those would be why or how they are now able to move/transition production to the UK from China. It would be a great piece of information for the community to understand how they managed that so that others could benefit and perhaps do the same with their own projects.
In general there must be a whole host of lessons learned that could be shared that would help someone else avoid the pitfalls these guys undoubtedly had to work through. I'm interested in the process in general such as choosing a manufacturer, how they went about going through the regulatory hurdles, etc. All the stuff you would want to know if you wanted to take a hobby project and make money on it.
The intro actually used the word telecommute when talking about how computers were in the home. Was that a word in common usage at the time? I was only 12 at the time banging out BASIC programs copied from magazines so I wouldn't recall lol.
Microsoft claims that they are investing more in security than anyone else. Investing heavily and having an actual secure product are not the same. Their heavy investment is because they have so far to go.
It's not terribly surprising. A big problem with kids (high-school included) is that they don't understand the value of an education. If you pay them then their short-sighted nature is much more likely to place a value on it.
It's entirely unclear to me what all of the parent bashing is about. What idiot actually modded the parent poster as âoeInteresting?â
Iâ(TM)ll agree that baby monitors are not necessary for a lot of people but there are a lot of us out there with family history of SIDS or other medical conditions that make a monitor a necessity.
I just got back from vacation and guess what...I FINALLY saw a Kindle in the wild at the airport. I just don't see this thing taking off. The iPhone or something similar has a much greater chance of making it big as an e-book reader. At least with a cell phone you can justify the cost because you can use it for more than just reading books.
Most iPhone users are not using the iPhone for work. I've heard the IT people at my work complain about the number of Blackberry phones that get replaced because employees forget them somewhere or damage them. My company has a lot of field reps and they are the worst of the offenders. iPhone owners, most of whom actually own the phone, are going to take better care of them.

The "average secretary" isn't the one that gets to make these decisions so the features available to them are not relevant.
Fucktard? If that's the best comment you have then simply don't post.

Don't forget priority 4: security. lol.
President elect has meetings at his home and you feel what? What location would you prefer, Disneyland?

If you can't make your point without the language you used then just don't post.
Sure it does, but those bases belong to that country called USA. I have a feeling that the enlisted would be required to move.

The fact that it is that easy to dial is probably the best reason not to use it. It needs to be easy to rememeber but not easy to accidentally dial.
The only way to understand the true value of that kind of speed is to use my preferred bandwidth measure: Nipples Per Second.
The 80s were Japan's rise. I don't recall hearing about China until the 90s.

Congratulations on the most assinine comment I have read here this week. Karma? Really?
Norton bogs my computer down too but that is just crazy :)

Well, let's not forget that Google rarely seems to advance a software "release" to anything beyond "Beta."
