  1. Re:Probably not. Too many electromagnets on Chameleon Liquid Could Replace LCDs · · Score: 1

    Have you looked at the recent Intermag / MMM conferences? They're flooded with papers on magnetic RAM and a lot of "classic" techniques from the 70's are being relooked at ;)

  2. Re:I hope they test it! on Boeing's New 787 Wings — Amazingly Flexible · · Score: 1

    Like so many other engineering problems, you probaby have less variables to work with than constraints. This = over-constrained design problem. Up the ante to 300% and something else almost certainly suffers.
    Heck, you see this situation with some as "simple" to design as a plain 'ol op-amp, let alone a whole friggin' plane. ;)

    Get with the times man. If you're in the US, there's this wonderful new invention called Netflix...

    Let's just say that even looking at the open end of an SMA connector can be hazardous ;)

    Hey, that sounds just like the German edition of the game!

    Next up, Rockstar announces Leisure Suit Larry : San Andreas and the ultra-realistic Wii edition. You figure out what the Wiimote will be used for ;)

  8. Re:Profit$? Please upgrade..... on Microsoft Pleads With Consumers to Adopt Vista Now · · Score: 1

    I have my WinXP install customized exactly the way I want it. This is what you will (might?) need for me to switch :

    StleXP, ACDSee, Better File Rename, Metapad, TMPGExpress, Daemon Tools, Acronis TrueImage, Beyond Compare, UltraVNC, MediaMonkey, FileZilla, Agilent ADS2006A, PSpice 9.1, MATLAB, HFSS.

    Some of these might already run in Vista as I haven't had the time to tinker with it.

  12. Re:The idea is dumb. on Manhunt 2 Banned In Britain · · Score: 1

    Naw, this is absolutely nothing compared to the ban against Bruce Almight in Malaysia a couple of years ago. You figure out why ;)

    It's called the culture of victimization. Look it up ;)

  15. Re:UK promo was good on eBay Pulls Google Ads Over Marketing Stunt · · Score: 1

    Heh, heck no. Just venting, is all ;)
    Still, eBay has incredible allure due to the huge number of clueless buyers and sellers there.

  16. Re:UK promo was good on eBay Pulls Google Ads Over Marketing Stunt · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not to mention that eBay loves double-dipping - charge ya for auction closing fees and then PayPal fees.

  17. Re:True.... but not important on The Argument For F/OSS In Schools · · Score: 1

    I recently switched to Office 2007 on XP32 (free from my institute's MSDNAA) and have not noticed ribbon getting in my way. It still willingly accepts all my old Office 2000 keyboard shortcut sequences...

  18. Re:Welcome to the technological world on Moore's Law for Motherboards · · Score: 1

    You could always cool the dominant noise source; of course, that would suck up additional power.
    We also do already have noise-shaping techniques (PWM / sigma-delta) to move the noise out of the bandwidth region of interest...

    ... than just soldering on a bunch of SMT components?

    Just beefed up the 'ol media server / HTPC with 8x 750GB Seagates (got great deals on 'em). Holds vid caps, FLACs (~18K songs), family photos and other misc vids (game / movie trailers, etc.) Still have room for another 6 drives.
