More info on the Colomb: It's like the Avagadro's number for electricity.
Just like Avagadro's number means 6.02E23 atoms, a Colomb means 6.24E18 electrons.
Just sit at a point on the wire and count electrons going by. When you count 6.24E18 electrons, then you have counted one Colomb. If you count 6.24E18 electrons *every second* then the current in the wire is one amp.
Sorry to repeat what you said, but I thought I could say it a bit better for beginners.

But, in my opinion, the company is poorly run. All my inquiries about their products have been completely unanswered. I would definitely not purchase from them unless they made an extreme turnaround.
When I attended my freshman orientation in 1986 at Michigan State University, one of the speakers specifically said that we needed to get permission from the professor before any tape recording was done in the classroom. The reason was that the professor owned the copyright to the actual lecture. On the other hand, he said that written notes, provided they were not a verbatim transcript of the lecture, were our property and we did not need to get permission to take or share our notes.
I agree. As a rule, before you mark something up past +3, READ ALL THE COMMENTS FIRST. Make sure that before you put a comment past +3 that there isn't a comment posted by an AC languishing at 0 which deserves your moderation.
Something that is marked at +3 has *already* been recognized as a good comment. Hunt for the gems down low before you make a redundant moderation.
Ahhhh. So you're the jerk who skips meta using the overrated tag. A real Klingon would not use such a cowardly moderation tag. There is no honor in it.
That means that we should abolish the letter 'Q' and replace it with something that means 'Qu'. It would simplify spelling. The alphabet would remain the same size. We wouldn't have to write the letter 'Q' anymore.
I pick the pipe as the symbol for the replacement letter. It's underused in the English language. From now on, words like quick, que, and quack will be spelled |ick, |e, and |ack.
I want to second your opinion. At the highest I had 162 karma. Right now I have about 135. It really sucks to get moderated up and not get the benefit. It's all I can do to get myself under the 50 karma cap so I can feel rewarded again. Until that time, all I truly feel like saying is
Hell, even after checking out the site thoroughly, I still can't figure out how wiki is different that allowing a zillion idiots to type on windows notepad.
When I type something, it appears that anyone can just erase it or change it. What's the point? This is about as useless as setting up a copy of notepad on a kiosk for people to use. All you can do is leave a message until the next guy changes it.
It appears that *you* are that dense. The excessive moderation comment was a joke. The rest of my comments are a bitch session about stupid moderators.
In statistics, it is a common practice to throw out the high and low values, counting them as anomalies.
If an article gets 3 moderations or more, and at least one of those moderations is different than the others, then pick a +1 moderation to ignore, and also pick a -1 moderation to ignore. Use the remaining moderations to score the article.
This shows an indication that someone was personally offended and mismoderated. Throw out the high and low, leaving a remaining +1 moderation intact. The article gets scored at +1, which is what it would have scored at anyway.
We want to encourage marking comments UP, so we don't penalize the person who made the +1 score that was thrown out. We WILL penalize the karma of the person who likely made the bad -1Flamebait moderation.
Furthermore, we need to get rid of the overrated and underrated markers, because they don't stand in meta. I have frequently seen them abused by people who mark comments out of spite in order to dodge the retribution from meta.
And another thing: Make the +1 score bonus OPTIONAL. Right now if you don't click that little button, the +1 is the default, which seems wrong to me.
I have yet to see evidence that there is no tooth fairy either. The person making the claim needs to show the evidence, or else there's no reason to believe. If you make an extraordinary claim, that demands extraordinary evidence.
Wow that's funny. I wonder if he also mentioned that some people also skip church to fix errors in the Linux kernel, or maybe to try to get a "first post" in on/. while some of the competition is at church... Do any ministers read/.?
"Tis better to be hacking on the Linux kernel and thinking of being in church, than to be in church and thinking of hacking on the Linux kernel."
What? Are all moderators (besides myself) humorless bitches? Redundant isn't the proper moderation for this.
Jeez. Only 150 points or so left to go before I'm under the threshhold. I don't mind that I'm going down, just put me in the right category, 'kay?
Hint: This one's not a troll, nor is it offtopic. It's FLAMEBAIT. End of lesson. I'll post it at +1 to give a couple moderators a chance to get an education.

I'm still going to wait for the next release, called Windows Me Harder.

Idiot, organic foods have long chains of carbon molecules.
Do you drink gasoline? How about a little hexane on that ear of corn? It's much tastier than butter.

Organic compounds have long chains of carbon molecules.
That's why organic foods are bad for you. You might as well be drinking gasoline.
and I wasn't even mentioned once! Can you imagine that?

Indeed. #2 on my list to be confronted by *three* beautiful women.
Your comment should be +10 insightful.

See how nice that is?

"FIRST POST"

The middle ground is the unstable tree of Debian. All the latest stuff, great package manager, and a small amount of excitement every once in a while.
When the final for Debian came out last month, I had to upgrade exactly one package on my system from the unstable tree.
Where would gcc be without Linux?
It appears that *you* are that dense. The excessive moderation comment was a joke. The rest of my comments are a bitch session about stupid moderators.
Try this:
In statistics, it is a common practice to throw out the high and low values, counting them as anomalies.
If an article gets 3 moderations or more, and at least one of those moderations is different than the others, then pick a +1 moderation to ignore, and also pick a -1 moderation to ignore. Use the remaining moderations to score the article.
Example:
Article moderated as follows:
-1 Flamebait
+1 Insightful
+1 Interesting
This shows an indication that someone was personally offended and mismoderated. Throw out the high and low, leaving a remaining +1 moderation intact. The article gets scored at +1, which is what it would have scored at anyway.
We want to encourage marking comments UP, so we don't penalize the person who made the +1 score that was thrown out. We WILL penalize the karma of the person who likely made the bad -1Flamebait moderation.
Furthermore, we need to get rid of the overrated and underrated markers, because they don't stand in meta. I have frequently seen them abused by people who mark comments out of spite in order to dodge the retribution from meta.
And another thing: Make the +1 score bonus OPTIONAL. Right now if you don't click that little button, the +1 is the default, which seems wrong to me.
Be sure to use it excessively.

Dude, I'm an atheist too. Can't an atheist make some funny (to myself at least) comments with a sort-of religious bent?
Hell, if you were to have tried to find me today at noon, you would have found me at a meeting of the Atheist Community of Austin.
I was sitting there in the atheist meeting, thinking of hacking the Linux kernel, honest!
Wow that's funny. I wonder if he also mentioned that some people also skip church to fix errors in the Linux kernel, or maybe to try to get a "first post" in on /. while some of the competition is at church... Do any ministers read /.?

Obviously that fellow misunderstood a word somewhere along the way. Give that poor dude a dictionary and an E-meter, quick!
