  1. Re:could be safer than rolercoaster on Robocoaster · · Score: 3, Informative

    Despite what the brochure says, the robot is not running on Windows. There is a real-time OS that runs the motion system. Windows is used only for the operator's user interface.

  2. Re:it's a BGA socket on ATX PPC Motherboards from Eyetech · · Score: 1

    True dat.

    BGA sockets are usually only used for prototyping, not for
    any kind of volume production. So the only other choice is to make
    a CPU daughtercard. Do Macs use daughter boards nowadays?
    I don't suppose Apple would let these guys purchase Apple-brand
    daughtercards for their Amiga motherboard.

  3. Re:Is Linus a hypocrite ? on Linus Responds To Mundie · · Score: 2

    On the contrary. Linus doesn't say anything about IP rights being used for private enterprise. Rather, he makes the point that IP in the public domain is Good Thing. There is room for both ideas in a sane world. Microsoft would like to spin the open-source movement as anti-business, anti-private property, anti-capitalist and anti-motherhood and apple pie.

    The t-shirt will more than make up for the
    chunk of skylab that killed my cat.

  5. Re:Had that happen to me... on Can Companies Control What You Say After You Leave? · · Score: 1

    So what happend next!? Did they follow up on
    their threats? Or, as I suspect, did the whole
    thing fizzle out because you didn't make any more
    public comments about the company?
