Trackpoints are amazing! I just wish they were more popular. I have had to resort to building custom keyboards with trackpoints to overcome the limited availability.

On that note - does the synaptics driver not have all of the functionality the author wants - as long as he is willing to do the tweaking to the synclient settings? (I have not used my touchpad since getting used to a trackpoint, but I vagu

That part is hard. I suggest starting small and creating something you want to use. My side projects usually involve a great deal of hardware design, with some sort of challenge in SW. Once you have created the hardware, having something ph

Exactly. Having such a passion for what you do that you want to do it on your own time, creates a positive feedback loop, making the whole experience a lot more enjoyable.

Of course it is. People are different. I personally enjoy having personal projects that are somewhat related to work, and help me develop a skill that I will most likely need in a couple of months for work. It also takes a lot of stress of

I would hazard a guess that this mostly happens when many people mark your messages as spam from your domain. Or if you send enough email to gmail users with certain keywords/phrases.

Judging by the process size quoted in the article, they won't be chasing speed, but rather low-cost devices.

In the case of AMD, the TDP figure just means it's shipped with a cooler that has capacity for 65W. In reality it just means boost clocks will drop sooner. In the case of Intel, the claimed TDP is a fairy tale.

I don't think there is much of a difference in the crumple zone for a German SUV and a German sedan. Do you have any sources?

Yeah, I fail to see how the car being an SUV is a factor in the article. Would a smaller car have made a difference? It would have needed to be a lot lighter to be stopped by the traffic light. (the influence of mass being linear and that o
