I agree. I know parents that that are so concerned about safety they wont let their kids use a hammer or screwdriver. I was always smacking and gouging my hands as a youngster. Mom kept plenty of band aids on hand. Eventually you learn what not to do. No big deal.
I agree. If I get another laptop and want to use linux on it I will do some research first as I would want everything to work out of the box (or close to it). Just try getting some distros working w/ a Broadcom chipset - what a pain. Question: why do distros include the bcm43xx driver? You just end up having to blacklist it and sometimes that in itself is a total pain as well. Does that driver actually work w/ some chipsets?
It would have been interesting to try that comparison with vector linux. I've been reading a little bit about it and I'd be curious to to know if it's worth using the VL-hot feature. From what I understand HAL continually polls the hardware and makes an underpowered machine slower. VL-hot allows you to mount devices with a click and there is no polling of hardware. Not sure how much of a difference it really makes though.
Keep your basement dry and don't worry too much about disinfecting your electronics (dry them out of course). Mold will proliferate again if the conditions are right.
I agree. I live in the san fernando valley Ca and I've seen alot of cyclists riding in what I would consider dangerous traffic. Not worth it. Too many people in a hurry and on phones.
It's a good idea to limit who gets your ssn. I'm having surgery done on my knee in a couple of days which has entailed seeing 4 docs at 4 diff offices (MRI etc). They all want your SSN when filling out their paperwork - I simply didn't put mine down on any of them. Two of them brought it to my attention and my response was "I don't give it out". Didn't have a problem. I could see if I wanted credit or was borrowing money from a bank. Otherwise don't be too eager to give it out.
Yes that is true and I believe that the most efficient thermoelectric devices are somewhere in the range of about 5% efficiency in practical applications.

rovio looks cool. Kind of like controlling your own mars lander.
My son made the gauss rifle from that site for a school science project. It was very cool.
We have one. It is a very cool toy that works well.
The link?
A rock polisher is cool so long as the kid doesn't expect the process to be quick- takes awhile.

That would be cool. Perhaps cut the pumpkin in half, scrape out the gunk, cnc, and "glue" it back together.
nvm. they're different sizes. Carved maybe but not w/ cnc.
I don't think the spikes are carved. They are likely something like colored toothpicks stuck in after the cnc is done.

That's interesting. My monitor's resolution seems to never be correctly detected. Guess I should try a newer VGA cable.

I'll bet you would approve of the book "Electron flow in organic chemistry" by Paul H. Scudder. http://www.amazon.com/Electron-Flow-Organic-Chemistry-Scudder/dp/0471613819/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221791572&sr=1-1 From the product description: "Presents twenty electron flow pathways as the building blocks of all the common mechanistic processes."
No.
My kids were dancing around the room doing the "funky physicist".

I think dvd-ram is supposed to last longer than standard dvd's. Not sure where I got that info. Can anyone confirm this?
I agree. I live in the san fernando valley Ca and I've seen alot of cyclists riding in what I would consider dangerous traffic. Not worth it. Too many people in a hurry and on phones.
I agree. Also everyone learns the idiosyncracies of their particular device - regardless of what the meters might indicate.
