And making my own layers of PCB with traces isn't that hard - what, you never took an electronics drafting course before? I can breadboard my own processor. Etching reagents are as simple as finding a properly acidic solution - you can get this by running an electrical current + oxygen through lime juice and get down to pH 1.3 easily.
I can build my own generator - indeed - otherpower.com is a nice resource for learning how to do just that.
You're just one ignorant ill-educated anonymous coward. You don't even hold a CANDLE compared to me. Go back to school, tool.
If you have weak-ass google-fu you're not even close to being a nerd or geek - you're just a poseur.
If you can't directly examine the evidence for yourself, then you're likely just a sheep that will blindly follow everything that everyone else says and does - IE The Republican Party.
And as the Planesdragon that responded to you said - it's not rocket science to find this information. It's not like it's classified knowledge, given that Palm has been around with the same business model for quite a time. And anybody that's EVER dealt with a Palm device should already know that lots of their stuff is based directly off of open source.
What? If you're too lazy to do the research yourself, this is not the site for you. Digg and Reddit are for those that demand everything spoon-fed to them.
Here on slashdot, the subject we discuss tend to be a major part of our lives, as usually it's our JOB. WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE WE'RE PAID TO KNOW THIS.
Elitist? No, I'm sick and tired of you too-lazy-to-work/study-for-yourself gimme-everything because I'm too stupid to look for myself people. If you can't do your own research and either confirm or outright deny what is said, you don't belong here.
It's been that way for almost a decade, well before Digg or Reddit ever dreamed of existing.
I spin records like it's '79. I have two slim-drive turntables, which together are slimmer than my HP9825, that is when the stylus arm is removed. My mixer is an 8-channel mackie, my crossfader is home-built, and is smaller than a credit card.
Most of my equipment doesn't even need cabling, it's built-in. As for vinyls - I don't do requests, I just lug one crate of selected records that fit the mood/party theme and run from there. I don't need to carry loads of anything, I prepare well beforehand. Most places I DJ already have an amp and speakers set up when I arrive.
Fighting a pitch? What? Your turntables don't come with incremental motor speed for pitch adjustment? Wow, the art of DJing must be getting way diluted - most good DJs know their records and equipment by HEART and can adjust anything pretty much seamlessly and on the fly without even looking.
... you must be new here? Or you're technologically impaired and know not a thing about Palm.
This is not the place for you - go back to Digg/Wikipedia where you belong. This is a place for people with EXPERIENCE AND FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE to discuss things, not provide bullshit citations from some wiki that any moron can edit, for morons with the weakest google-fu on the fucking planet or just plain lazy fools without a clue.
IOW - Sit down little one, adults are talking. Speak only when spoken to.
I already have tabbed windows - see the one at the bottom (or top if you use the default ubuntu stuff) of your screen with a bunch of tabs for already-running programs. Huh, imagine that, it's already been done, since Windows 95. Granted, it's a small window with limited functionality - but it's a window nonetheless.
Tab - n: A projection, flap, or short strip attached to an object to facilitate opening, handling, or identification.
I swear, people just don't pay attention to English.
"And I've got to wonder how you make a living. With such a high ID, though, I've got to wonder if you still live w/ Mom and Dad, or are maybe in that fantasy world known as University."
Some of us have brains and skills to not need corporations. Looks like you're not one of those gifted talented and smart people, now are you, you condescending piece of shit?
Multiple slashdot tabs is one of your slowdown causes. Slashdot's site code is so horrible that what once loaded fine and fast on an outdated P3 doesn't load for at least ten minutes.
I find it very funny that my two-generations old 9800GTX+ has more power than the pretty new GTS250.
And I can get it for 89 bux off pricewatch. So for a pair running SLI, you get roughly the same performance as the card that costs 40 bucks more (GTX260.)
Biggest difference is DX version support.
Glad my bet on the 9800GTX+ a couple years ago was a good one to make!
Titanium is not porous so whatever gives you that idea is BS. It's bio-neutral, which is why it's used, not bio-compatible. Yes, I do piercing and body modification (including bone piercing) as a side job and I'm licensed to do so. There is a stress test - they toss three tons per square centimeter on the metal before screw fabrication - if it fails, it doesn't go in to be made into a screw. Those screws do not fail.
Oh, and just FYI, those weren't even the screws that stayed in my leg. Those were just capture screws. Blows your argument adios.
Electronically controlled diesel engines cost more. Regular EMP surviving diesel engines are pretty cheap, not to mention easy to maintain because there's less to screw up. With new low-sulfur fuel, those electronics emissions regulators aren't as needed.
It's heat that kills the battery. Removing your battery from the laptop once it has a full charge and not using it unless you're going portable would save it.
Battery-driven cars in the desert would not be such a good thing. The batteries would require far more maintenance, if not replacement.
Faulty screws never make it past the stress testing phase. If they don't break under those circumstances, they're fine for anything a human could possibly do. Whatever would break the screw would kill a human.
"This guy donates time to a charity to help fix computers, and you slag on him?"
No, I harp on him because printers are pretty much useless without the computer attached, so saying he doesn't do printers, he only does computers is bullshit. I also pointed out the fact that he calls a printer an electro-mechanical device, when in true reality, THAT'S ALL A COMPUTER IS. OPENING AND CLOSING GATES.
"Every place I've ever worked has sent printers out to be repaired, because printers are so different from computers."
Must be nice working a mom and pop shop. See, in the corporate computer world, we usually have our own dedicated staff that does that, except for stuff like Xerox and whatnot that comes with a huge support contract.
"In conclusion: You suck, you are logically wrong, and the person you were insulting is a good person doing good work. I hope you're ashamed of yourself."
In conclusion: You're a weak coward, you jump to the wrong conclusions and make the wrong assumptions, and you clearly can't understand the context of my previous post. You're also ill-educated and a moronic twit. I'm more ashamed of you than I am of myself.
As if each application already didn't have its own volume settings BUILT-IN?
Every single program that uses audio in some form or another on my computer has a volume control built-in.
Accessibility in Vista and 7 is practically non-existent. The volume control panel that was in use from Windows 95 up to XP was better. I had to move to a dedicated mixer board when I moved to 7 because Microsoft stripped out so much fucking functionality in the name of DRM.
Fuck the costs of DRUGS, the cost of a screw to hold a rod in place in your skeleton costs 1200 bucks! A screw the size of a BB costs more than 4 current-gen PS3s!
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, yes, I do. The joys of being a weekend scrapper - you get acess to all the raw or even pre-refined material that you want!
Moron. Smart people can make do with anything. Only idiots need things pre-built for them
Oh, yes, I can forge my own swords, as well - http://traintagspotter.deviantart.com/art/Newly-Forged-Sword-71353126

Those with proper brains and skills do it right the first time so managerial overhead is not necessary.
Just like my hydroponics systems - set it, forget it. Never need to bother it again except to refill the nute tank and acid tank.
I can tell you totally have no critical thinking skills and just took my words to mean something other than what they meant.
I don't need a corporation to feed me. I don't need a corporation to build me shelter. I am perfectly capable of doing that on my own.
If you require the internet or a computer to survive - you're doing it wrong and you're likely to be one of the dead ones in the apocalypse.
"Build everything with my own two hands from scratch!"
I can, including my own PCB. Shows what you know about me, doesn't it, tool?
People are just starting to realize that digital DJ equipment tends to suck compared to a set of real turntables and a mixer board with crossfader.

I'd probably never do well in space. I have and thus zero-g, even with medication, would likely utterly destroy my sense of balance, because the inner ear balance weights are dislodged. I would probably be able to propel myself around the station from the force of my puke.
Oh ye of major n00b, any laptop that advertises a discrete solution to graphics uses an MXM slot.
Oh, wait, I bet you use APPLE products. They won't use MXM, so you're STUCK.

"Heck, they censored crosses in NES games!"
What?
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest had crosses ALL OVER THE PLACE. In fact, every Castlevania has had crosses in it, everywhere.
"You can't even properly lend or swap games with friends anymore"
"Yep. This is why I pirate MS products, buy Apple products"
Logic fail.
Faulty screws never make it past the stress testing phase. If they don't break under those circumstances, they're fine for anything a human could possibly do. Whatever would break the screw would kill a human.

"There's no way that a pigment can cost thousands of dollars per liter."
Umm, yea. You do know some pigments cannot be synthesized and have to be extracted from natural sources?
Read about purple dye, sometime. It's still the hardest color to produce.
