It seems to me that every time the minimum wage is raised everyone who isn't at minimum wage effectively takes a pay cut because grocery store owners, fast food chains, gas stations and every other minimum wage employer has to raise prices to match rising labor costs.
I'm not an economics expert (obviously) so could someone explain why raising minimum wage (or having it in the first place) is a good thing?
Alice Hill's plan to ruin Slashdot in a nutshell: Step 1: Drive away nerd community. Step 2: Make site more palatable to norms. Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit!
Alice Hill is an insensitive clod. She didn't take into account that most nerds have some degree of autism and therefore don't like it when things change. Since the slogan for the site is "News for Nerds" we can only interpret this as a hostile act and must retaliate appropriately. We are not wanted here so let's move on.
"My doctor, family, friends, conscience, and co-workers tell me to lose weight and I haven't listened to them but maybe if I have the government nag me about it I'll turn my life around". Who thinks like this? (Other than people without doctors, family, friends, conscience, and co-workers)
I'm running a Haswell Pentium on a Supermicro C202 based motherboard that requires ECC memory. Non-ECC will not work even though it is a Pentium class CPU. I found this out the hard way.
I hope PC Power and Cooling comes out of this OK too. As a power supply guy I liked the fact that they printed out test reports and their products were built like tanks.
I do the same thing. I think it's a matter of putting your situation into perspective like "yeah things suck but they could be worse" or "hey there's someone out there that feels like I do".
I've been toying around with making an alarm clock that uses the same idea. It cusses you out Full Metal Jacket R Lee Ermey style (hitting the snooze button only intensifies the cursing) instead of the usual chimes. This way there is a good possibility your day will only get better!
If I was tasked with printing out text that needed to be archived in a vault I think I would encode the text as a QR code with the error correction set to level H first. I would also consider laminating the pages or doing something to protect them from moisture and dryness.
Personally I toss a USB drive in a safe deposit box every few months.
Therefore the criminal charge is invalid since a weapon of mass destruction can not exist. The charge should really be called something like "using a weapon capable of destruction of personnel and materiel en-masse to convert the mass of said personnel and/or materiel into smaller bits of personnel and/or materiel". If the definition doesn't fit you must acquit!
Yes, I've done just that with some Dell Optiplex 380 systems. You can also use the on-board video along with PCI graphics to get multiple monitors working.
Maybe not Elec 101 but 401 (at least in the US). The idea isn't that complicated but there are regulations that make putting a system like that into practice a bit of a challenge (at least in the US). The system must go off-line if the phase drifts, if the line voltage changes by x in y milliseconds, etc...
There's a reason for this. In large systems the need for a fast switch from utility to inverter power under full load requires that there be a battery charger constantly charging a battery bank and an inverter or rack of inverters connected to the battery bank to provide power to the load. This isn't very efficient but it works well.
Also battery voltage can vary from about 10 V to 14.4V per battery so I don't think this is tightly regulated enough for computer components. In a large system you want to keep the DC voltage high so your I^2*R power loss is minimalized so DC voltages as high as 108 V are not unheard of.
Slashdot Mirror
it's a feature!
Maybe I'm to old to understand the attraction to these things.
I think we should all use GMT. Think about all the electrons spent converting GMT to local time.
You beat me to it. Maybe it will be featured in the remake.
There are many MCU's that have hardware acceleration for AES256 and SHA256 so there's no real performance based excuse not to use it.
Maybe it will say "Get ready for a surprise"!
I would wash it first. It's been on Patrick Stewart's balls. http://www.freshhellseries.com...

I don't get the point of this at all.

They called it Starship Troopers because StarCraft was already taken.
FTFY x2.

I wish I could mod this post "Sad but True".
I do the same thing.

Seriously though I hope they roast this guy.
Does this mean I'm going to die soon?
Fake Steve Jobs also died?

What we really need to find on the moon is oil. We'd be founding the New Texas oil rig colony in less than a year if that ever happens.
Not if the toaster has Norton Internet Security Small Kitchen Appliance Edition 2012!

If you get pulled over turn your ringer off and toss it under the seat. If the cop asks for it say you lost it recently.
I'm in as long as the game will teach me how to play like these guys.
