I built an RC2014 and I really like it. I'm using some of Dr. Scott M Baker's boards (WD37C65 floppy controller and 512k banked RAM/ROM) so I can run CP/M. I'd like to get things set up so I can build CP/M on t

Chrome also has an accessibility option for this. That discovery solved my problems with a lot of sites.

And then clicking Tools->Verbatim because google otherwise gives results that are wildly different from what you specify..

What sort of opportunity are you imagining? I trade cards with vendor sales reps and support people who visit. They have my info so they can let me know about new products or obsolescence issues, and I have their info so I can call them for

Those people are about as atypical as they come.

That would be great content for archive.org. Send Jason Scott a message, maybe they can help you digitize it.

Agreed, enhancements are good (and often nice on a modern devices with all the bells and whistles enabled), so long as it degrades nicely.

Obviously things like gdocs need JavaScript, but blogs and news sites and forums sure don't.

It's kind of a joke. People getting rich off moving money around is kind of silly, and it would certainly be better if those jobs could be eliminated by machines.

Lots of high-earning people tied up in managing money is pretty inefficient for society, though. Maybe those people can switch to factory jobs and help reduce the cost of common things for the common person.

> it's that percentage change that is most noticeable underwater Ahh! I figured I was missing something, because the pressure change is linear, but yeah... the percentage change is different. Interesting, and thanks for explaining.

And how do you ensure you're not going to have the same problem at the next place.

RE: non volatile position storage Some of the industrial equipment I've designed at work uses Omron servos with encoders that use their own motion to provide power to the position tracking electronics, so you can disconnect the cable o

> And running out of O2 underwater leads to black outs, especially in shallow water as water pressure drops fastest when surfacing those last 10m-20m. Because people swim faster when they're close to the top?

I like that it works like tar and that the website works perfectly in lynx, which are two things that make my life easier when I'm dealing with a catastrophe.

Oh, duh. You're right, I totally misread that. :)

It'll just slide down slowly. Try it, it's a cool experiment that showcases eddy currents.

I wouldn't mind using something like this to define bus connections and such, then import the netlist into my schematic editor and have it help me draw the schematic. That would be pretty useful.

I figured you'd want to say more about it because that obviously doesn't work. But.. OK.

Ohhhhhh. I saw Dr Strange in 2D and thought the rippling building effects and hurling of bodies and such was kind of goofy. Didn't think of 3D at the time, but now it makes sense.

No kidding. I'd say a web interface sets a ceiling for how good the interface can be. And 99% of the time it's an awfully low ceiling.

On a related note, ars technica has an absolutely fantastic article on reverse engineering and re-building the Saturn V. http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/04/how-nasa-brought-the-...

I'd argue that (at least in recent years) OpenBSD does a lot of replacing as well, but I happen to like their direction, where the replacements are simpler rather than more complex.

Sort of. I tried the latest workstation release recently and the installer was broken.. you need a bug tracker account to file a bug, so you need your browser to work, which is rough when your system doesn't.

That's fine for SPAs, what sucks is how many other sites are built that way. :/

I wondered about that as well. There is one example of a pair of cylindrical buildings, which seems pretty efficient. Maybe the use of good insulating materials reduces the trade-off, and with more surface area you get more rooms with windo

The "Software" section of the article says they did exactly the things you suggest they should do.

What CPU would you use with your open GPU? intel with their management engine is out, you can't get an arm MPU without a gazillion other peripherals onboard, nor a MIPS MPU, but maybe you could license the core.. except now you have th
