Average seek time across a disk which is much larger physically than the disks in use today. It wasn't rare at all to find fair sized servos (as opposed to steppers in consumer grade stuff in the 80's) in those old disk pack units (the si

That's pretty impressive. Not only did they image the disk, it was a disk that had had a head crash and one damaged head which they managed to restore to functioning well enough to capture the data. Now of course the big question: what is o

That mentions revenues only, and you can't use that to translate directly to cash, they're not the same thing, you can't use those terms interchangeably. If a company has 100K in revenues and 50K in expenses per month after one month they'l

I think the easiest way for you to significantly improve the circuit from a safety perspective is to modify the layout in such a way that the high voltage part of the circuit is on one end of it and the low voltage part on the other. A (ver

That was a couple of years late. Yahoo! can still be turned around but it will take something more than a cost-cutting and downsizing mentality to achieve that. Under a leader with vision with buy in from the various department heads combin

It would probably be best for the whole segment if it got cancelled entirely. There are way too many questions about the long term viability of groupon to feel good about an IPO, as well as a possible SEC probe. see also: http://www.busine

If they keep Reddit as part of the mothership they can't sell it whole or in part. This is the first step in a process of divestment. The valuation that they are tossing around should be seen as the asking price if and when they do. It woul

200 million cheap ? You're kidding right? If not, what multiple of profits would you think is reasonable for an established business? What amazes me is that reddit as it is today would be valued at more than several 10's of millions.

This is an interesting bit all by itself, you could be ordering the exact same medication from Canada at a lower price and it would still be illegal, but it actually shouldn't be. The free market is great as long as it doesn't cost Uncle Sa

If you look closely you can see a wire running from the mains straight to the sensor board next to the arduino, clearance is on the order of a few mm. All it takes is a little bit of condensation for a nasty accident, the voltage between th

I just had a look at the 'guts' of your project box, please make sure that you maintain minimal spacing between the high voltage and low voltage parts of your circuit. As it is it looks like they are much too close to each other. Just hav

It was illegal (and public) long before the DOJ went after google. Call me cynical but I see this as just another way to get some money out of google. If the plaintiffs donate the proceeds (if successful) to charity I'll change my mind. Aft

Being sued by shareholders is a 'cost of business' for a public company. Funny how those same shareholders had absolutely no problem with it as long as it was making them money, but now that the strategy has backfired they want their risk n
