While I'm not a great fan of Apple's regard of their users fixing their own devices, I can offer, what I believe to be, a plausible other explanation. "Why use this design, and why use it only on the outside?" It is plausible that it reduce

Especially considering his intent for them to see his posts on facebook are to drive "viewers" to his site so that he can extract advertising revenue. Sounds like someone's bitter that their free marketing channel dried up, and they have to

Sounds like a brilliant product plan to me... "See what we can do for you? See the traffic we can drive and link to you? Want more? Choose your level of traffic, choose your price." The article makes the assumption that 3rd-party busines

The final statement in the article engages in a fallacy that all members in a job market have the same level of mobility without consideration of individual factors, such as: * Potential age-bias for older workers ([1] is an example of the

"Degraded performance," is a fairly off-handed way of putting what they're experiencing. First RDS connectivity went down the tube, and then EBS followed, finally the EC2 console is failing to operate properly (for me, in US-EAST region at

It's an idiom, often used to express "putting on trial".

Often, especially in BTB offerings, it makes a lot of sense to differentiate "customer" from "user." Take for example: the decision-maker who signs the deal and writes the check never actually uses the product, instead has staff which does

I know, I was implying that beagleboard/pandabaord may be being sold at a limited profit much like the launchpad boards, to attract interest to the platform.

I would think it's in Amazon's overall interest, not necessarily in Amazon.com's interest, to further ingratiate themselves in the developers community. That being said, much of the TI development kits are sold at-cost, or even nearly belo

That's changing the layer of the trace, from top to bottom. Note the vias (circular elements in the design) where the color transition occurs. To the OP: Looks great! I like the approach for modules, I've often wished Eagle had an easier

You need to add a couple of other factors to mix-zoning (or no zoning) as well though. Houston, for example, is a no zoning city - you can buy a commercial warehouse and turn it into two lofts between two chemical plants if you like, and n

TechStars is definitely a great resource, and they do a great job of selecting the right companies as well. The last group was full of awesome. I've been kicking around submitting a project I'm working on for next year's group as well. Jas

Apple didn't violate "some GPL technicalities," they took away core rights from the user that the GPL license was designed to provide them. Whether or not you agree with copyleft licenses, how can you sit there and say that someone is a zea

It depends on the design (PTH or SMD). A lot of PTH takes a lot of people, as many parts still can't be machine-placed. The facility we use an hour from us runs about 600 PTH units (about 40 components/board) on one assembly line with 10 p

That is the key thing I question and makes me wonder about EMS in the UK. There are literally dozens of vendors who would kill for that job here in the States - even without any guarantee of repeat order. There just must not be very many

I don't understand this statement at all: "Last year, when nobody had heard of the Raspberry Pi, we had been unable to find a British manufacturer whose prices per unit (especially at a point where we were thinking of sales in the tens of t

It is only prohibitively expensive if you have a pre-existing condition. I have an excellent PPO for which I pay $200 a month, has a $1,000 deductible, and $20 copays. I'm in my mid-thirties and was a smoker for 18 years. If I had lied abo

The only reason to believe he was a bad person, or not the person you thought he was, was a completely made-up and unsubstantiated hit article by Tech Crunch designed as link bait. Before that article, it was just another matter of a poorl

One of many reasons I hate reading TechCrunch. This is one of the most asinine, pity me, articles I've ever read: the story isn't about anything but why he's hurt, and must maintain his status at the top of the totem. To be honest, yes, I

That's good to hear - there's always the risk that someone is going to come along and say "Well, but they hadn't done anything in a while!" As long as they keep investing and pushing the envelope, the copycats shouldn't drag them down too

Don't forget the cost of supporting people when they make a mistake putting it together, or having to send out another package to someone half way across the world because you left one bolt out, etc.

An unspoken issue here, and one often facing the industry I'm in presently (I'm not going to mention what it is, as I don't want to attract any flak down the road, given I run an OSHW company at the moment) - is that it's easy to take a des

Agreed, "not wasting" does not always equate "eating." Preservation is something, when I spent a lot of time in my childhood in rural areas, that was baked into every family. It was a way of smoothing out the seasonal fluctuations in food

"I agree with the very top post - food is simply wasted out of laziness in the US." Did you actually read the article? It had several reasons for the wasting to occur... EDIT: grammar.

I agree, "an open-source X" implies it re-implements X. LogStash is a log management system, which is one application of Splunk. (There are a lot of players in this space.) And, much like Splunk, it seems to be well-fit for users who prefe

It was from the Leigh book which accidentally leaked the password. Purportedly, it was said in a meeting with people who were largely friendly towards him at the time. Further, additional dumps were made unredacted after the fact, and some
