  1. Ufnfortunatly most of the programing tools I use for embedded systems are windows only. Some are just becoming availible for MAC, but for the most part are not availible for Linux. The one current exception is MPLAB-X which is fairly new and java based. But being new it is barley usable, currently even on windows.

  10. Re:Wouldn't this be slower? on Transistor Made From Bose-Einstein Condensate · · Score: 1

    It's not a speed issue. Atoms have a neutral electric charge, where electrons have a negative charge. Atoms moving means no net charge is moved, means no current flows, which means there is virtually no power is consumed in the process.

  11. Rail Guns are Cool on Navy Gets 8-Megajoule Rail Gun Working · · Score: 1

    I built one back in the early 70's as a science fair project. It shot pennies at a very high velocity, high enough to go right through the back wall of the garage. It worked on a slightly different principal as the Navy one. Instead of using the magnetic field to propel the projectile, it used a piece of copper foil folded accross the penny, connecting to a pair of copper rails about a quarter inch appart. When a car battery was connected accross the 2 rails, the copper foil is vaporized, shooting the penny out the far end at a high velocity. It was a blast.
