  1. Be aware of on Coating a Motherboard In Thermal Resin? · · Score: 1

    the curing properties of whichever material you choose. The ratio of resin to hardener can affect the shrinking, which can disturb components. Also, the heat kicked out by a CPU may be able to melt the coating if the mixture has too little hardener. If you go ahead with it, bang it on a blog, I'm sure there are others who would like to read it.

  2. Easy to spot the folks without the gene... on Possible Monogamy Gene Found In People · · Score: 2, Funny

    just watch Jeremy Kyle.

  3. Come back to bite us... on Robots Learn To Follow · · Score: 1

    This is what happened in Terminator. Best destroy them now methinks.

  4. Re:Harry Potter, of course on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    It does make for a more interesting read book by book. It was just a side jibe really. I still think she'll be writing "Potter: The College Years". She'll milk it some more.... and I'll probably read it :(

  5. Re:Harry Potter, of course on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    Same here, though I read them a year or so ago. Good story (completely ripping off LOTR, Worst Witch and other books probably), and presented in an attractive way. JK lies though... she didn't plan it all from start to finish, otherwise every book wouldn't introduce something completely new and unheard of before. The films aren't bad, but generally films rarely live up to the book.

  6. Re:Um, whats the point? on How Technology Changes Classrooms · · Score: 1

    I fully agree with you. I'm not saying everyone should have a degree, but people should have an idea of what they'd like to do for a career, or even just a career while they ponder their final career. Like you said, promotion of alternative routes is the way forward. Not enough is done, not to encourage, but merely inform people of what they could do. In any case, being able to read and write and perform basic math is a good starting point.

  7. Um, whats the point? on How Technology Changes Classrooms · · Score: 1

    Aside from being politically flashy to brag about shoving technology into schools... whats the point of it? Young people write in some elvish looking scrawl nowadays, and barely have the arithmetic capacity for Su Doku. Once kids can read and write, computers can open up avenues of learning to develop other skills. I'm speaking from a UK point of view where we have no-where near the inbuilt urge of "must do well, must go to college"... sadly.

  8. Portsmouth Uni? This is going to work... on AI Could Power Next-gen CCTV Cameras · · Score: 1

    I'd feel more confident this might work if it was coming from anywhere but the University of Portsmouth. Don't some US cameras already do this for gunshots?
