If you want to know a little bit more about piezos... piezoelectric materials are of a certain structure group based on the asymmetry of the unit cell. When compressed or streched, a charge displacement occurs within the single cell and you get pos/neg 'terminals' at opposing ends of the crystal. Have enough of these single unit cells, and you end up with a bulk material that shows a large deformation/charge relationship (relatively large...)... with the small frequency response mentioned by the parent post - you end up with buzzers with extremely annoying monotone signatures - you know you've heard them...
there are other, similar materials such as ferroelectrics where there is a constant charge displacement without the need for deformation to induce it.
Being alumni of a state school in CA, I can say I have had a real advantage in the direct job market because of my school and the network that I was able to develop while at school is second to none.
There is AN idiom that permeates all aspects of my undergraduate education: learn by doing. This has served me well throughout graduate school, but most importantly, I learned a little bit of grammar that may have eluded the ivy population.
I think the funiest joke I ever saw about canadians was here on/. on 9/11. (might have been fark). Someone posted that the canadian PM had directed the full support of the canadian military be sent to the US. the poster said something to the effect of "it's true, I just saw two guys go by on a bicycle!"
fooled me, and I even strayed off the beaten path...
Just having fun with you, it's a great country. I stepped of the train and hated my mental state immediatly. Immediatly I had Zoolander stuck in my head (stayed for 2 days) going: "everyone is rediculously good looking." Great trip though... thank's to the US gov't for paying for it.
they went out to hollywood not because patent law wasn't a big thing... but because it was close to mexico and they could just pop away if trouble was a coming. pretty interesting story.
same with the original on site production offices - they were 'permanent' little bungaloes that were somewhat in the spanish mission style - there are tons around socal, and a few up the west coast. little buildings made in the 20s that have now been converted to houses, restaurants, etc.
I used to have the same opinion of radio... It was more or less something to pass the time in the car when my ipod or CDs weren't doing it for me. However, I moved to seattle, where a large independent radio station exists (kexp.org) (and they webcast). Their morning show starts at 6am, but as a grad student, I miss it all by a few hours. Thankfully, they (kexp) do their own online timeshifting and i can catch good music, free. Pretty much nothing that is on clear channel or whoever the other ones are. This product doesn't do anything for me since kexp offers up their own recordings, but radios are far from dead for me now... check out the station, it changes people when they do.
Well, you can get onto the worlds first commercial supersonic jet... come to seattle to check out the museum of flight http://www.museumofflight.org/ where you can take a quick tour of a concord http://www.museumofflight.org/visit/concorde.html and the original air force one, and sit in the cockpit of an sr-71 (one of only two that allowed a drone to be attached) and and and plenty of other cool things. Having seen the smithsonian (before the new hangar was acquired) this mof blows that out of the water. Well worth a trip here just to visit the museum - as a geek, plan on taking two days to do it all, I live here and still haven't exhausted it.
You'd rather be rich than supid? And you pride yourself on estimation? I'm estimating that that you're rich then, unless there is a break in my reasoning. Or maybe you got rich by designing a new form of brakes?
watch enough seinfeld. ah yes, this is slashdot, where no one has friends, but know about a show where the characters have them....
but seriously, i'm thinking that you could have multiple groups set up for this, so if i'm wanting to hang with work friends i could access that account vs my drinking friends vs my clubbing friends vs and so on... to prevent the clashing of which you speak. i can't say my groups of friends really clash, but they're of completely different mindsets - straight arrow grad student types, stoners, alcoholics, people on food stamps, skiing, biking, and so on... and they don't necessarily dislike each other, but they don't have much in common besides me... of course how many skiers do you know that aren't alcoholics.
Ah, your battery may not have a problem NOW.... or they may not have yet acknowledged that your range of serial numbers is included... just kidding...
I have 1.3g 15" bought in june, and it's battery model number is A1078... it was custom configured, so I'd imagine the battery was manufactured more recently, but I wonder what else the differences are
The t-shirt thing w/ big daddy was what he wore on the day he was arraigned - several months ago. As in it's what he was wearing the day they picked him up, so you can't fault him for wearing that to court (although you're welcome to fault him for just wearing it out in public).
Yesterday he was in an ill-fitting suit, having watched it on the news here in seattle, and had 'normal' hair. Still looked like a tool but certainly was showing respect to the court.

At first I saw that to say "Anne Heche" and shuddered. Then I realized that it made sense. Then I shuddered. Then I reread the line and saw I was mistaken. Regardless, my day is starting out poorly.
my aiwa cdc-mp3 that i got in the summer of 2000 (hey, i worked in the valley and it was the shit back then) has a line input in the front. i hardly ever throw in an mp3 cd anymore, but i do hook up my ipod all the time when on long drives. all that and a detachable face, can't complain.
i think that most every aiwa comes with a line in on the front - even the cheapo ones.
this is cool and all, and great for the field. it brings it to a bit higher profile, and throws more money at it. i'm doing a phd on spintronics, and have met a few of the people involved. unfortunately, i doubt i'll be transfering to stanford, and it will be years till i graduate and could consider working at ibm.
Not to be rude or intend to flame or anything, but spintronics has nothing to do with bubble memory. I'm doing a phd in spintronics under an advisor who focuses on magnetism, so i feel qualified in saying this. Bubble memory i don't know much about, other than it uses novel orientations and sizes of domains for magnetic recording.
spintronics, on the other hand, uses the charge and spin of electrons and holes in a similar method as electrons and holes are used in standard electronics. for example, the energy required to depopulate a channel in a transistor (turning it on or off) is far greater than the energy required to flip the spins of the charge carriers... so using that, you could have a smaller and lower energy transistor.
the limitation at the moment is in the materials, which is what we do... making them work at and above roomtemp for example.

oh well, no omre to see here
I sure hope I don't get any emails about this.
A song would be nice though.

I get so confused sometimes.
Hmm, I'm straight, so I know that you're not predicting based on past experience to get those measurements of me.
Damn, that was shameless.
The phrase "a solution in search of a problem" comes to mind in regards to Frances.
high time. high time, indeed.
all those silly people bitching about not wanting to live in california because of the earthquakes, I just don't get it.

so convenient that you post this on bastille day.
should make for exciting tour coverage (don't tell me, I'm going to watch it at 8 PST)
don't fool yourself. slashdot is not a mensa gathering.
recalling that which you work with/is necessary for your work does not make you ubersmart, just adequate.
right, so here is a hint... you're not going to bang anyone if you consistently refer to it as intercourse.
out of curiosity, for whom do you work? i'm w/ krishnan at UW depts.washington.edu/kkgroup w/ all work in magnetism of some sort. me, spintronics.

try running it through again, you should get something useful.

That may in fact be the first time someone on /. has *planned* what they'd be writing in a post!
A new era of freshness is upon us, I say.
It's gonna be cold, eh?
