If the cables are done properly there should be no difference between home made and commercially produced. If I were doing it, the deciding factor would be how far I have to go, if it's maybe upto 30ft and around a few corners i'd go with commercially produced cables. If you're talking a longer distance and drilling holes through walls I'd go handmade, that way you don't have to worry about damaging the plugs whilst laying the cables.
It's not a question of scale, but one of audience. If this article were just for industrial transformer engineers, then small and inexpensive may be a good description. But the article is aimed at the general public, or a sub section there of. And the majority of this sub section of the population, when they think of resistors, think of an electronic component 1/3" long and costing less than a penny.
ie. from the point of view of the average slashdot reader, $40,000 and the size of a washing machine is not a small and inexpensive resistor.
(not that I can't see where the description is coming from, it's just not appropriate for the articles audience)
$40,000 and the size of a washing machine isn't exactly what you'd call small and inexpensive, certainly not compared to what most people would think of when you mention a resistor.
This leaves the computer in a state of both working and not working, and due to laws against animal cruelty, would probably be tried if schrodinger were around now.
I saw monsters vs aliens the other day, I have to say that the 3D effects did mostly look good. My biggest problem was that every so often, objects a long way out in front of the screen would go out of frame, which spoiled the effect somewhat.
surely you mean after season 6, stopping before winning an emmy for gunmen would have just been silly. Stopping when Rob Grant left would have been sensible.
It's a bit daft trying to compare a country to a continent. You go and try to spend your US dollars in Canada (part of the continent of north america) and see how far that gets you. Especially when the Euro is accepted in 16 different countries.
the only way such a system can work is if pre emptive AI becomes a whole lot better than it is at the moment. Pre emptive AI is the reason why, in multiplayer games, other players will appear to jump around, the computer tries to predict what other players will do, then corrects play later if it was wrong. This we can usually live with, the effect is less noticable with players further away from you within the game. For this system to work it would have to show you how it pre empts your own reactions which with the current state of pre emptive AI would make a fast paced game almost unplayable.
This is not the first time the Xbox 360 has experienced technical issues; in recent years many people have complained about scratched discs and over-heating consoles â" the 'red ring of death.'"
I think the term "in recent years" is more than a little unnecessary in reference to a console that's only been available for a little over 3 years.
By "work just as well" i mean you'd still have all the controls available, with no controls available when using standard headphones, that's not working just as well.
yes, other companies have been putting inline controls in headphones for years, but that's in addition to the controls on the unit, not instead of, most of these devices would still work just as well with standard headphones.

Nikola Tesla patented the first remote control in 1898 http://www.google.com/patents?vid=613809 and after 111 years, this isn't going that much further.
This is true, the huge power spike from the simultanious turning off of all these TVs could be some what catastrophic as well.
yep, done that, I cracked it and installed a little program that stops users from completing sen...
Then either, you have an excessively large garden, or you're complaining about a couple of pennies per year. Either way it's a rediculous comparison.
I thought Windows was secure. Why not use that? *cough* *cough*
I thought OpenBSD was secure. Why not use that?
I thought DOS was secure. Why not use that?
I thought stone tablets were secure. Why not use them?
Because none of these suggestions is compatable with my abacus.

That sounds like a challenge to me, I give it 3 days from release before it's hacked wide open.

When I want things to look like actual things, I'll go outside. That may sound strange to you, but people do go outside you know.

The DVD's out June 15th in the UK. Got mine ordered already.
If you want to play this game:
USA population: 303,824,640 (July 2008 estimate)
Europe population: 731,000,000 (2005 estimate)

... or maybe a Tata Shuffle, with the steering controls obnoxiously embedded in some earbuds?
And a single button to speed up or slow down depending on how you press it??

if that were true his first issued gun would have 8 rounds. Or in hard mode he'd just start with a knife.
why did the flu make you waddle around quacking?
True, but I can't see a British advertising campaign affecting most Americans.
Not that Britain isn't heading the same way at an alarming rate.
