Like the SM footprints, but I'm not sure I see the point of the resistor color code chart these days (If I do spec a through hole resistor, 99% of the time it'll be a 1%).

I sent the scanned bank statement and driver's license, got validated, re-entered the order, received an invoice, authorized a paypal payment, received a payment confirmation receipt on Monday, and then nothing. The paypal transaction

It could be an artifact of my postfix configuration. Looking over a few logfiles, here are the ciphers I've seen recently (all servers, not just gmail): ADH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) AES128-SHA (128/128 bits) AES256-SHA (256&

I see encrypted connections to/from gmail all the time. Here's an example from a test I just ran: Trusted TLS connection established to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[173.194.79.27]:25: TLSv1 with cipher RC4-SHA Anonymous TLS connecti

When Tektronix aged my 'scope out of support, the last free firmware update unlocked all those extra cost firmware-locked upgrades. A real class act. I wonder if Intel will do the same a few years down the road?

I hope the Octane2 was better than the Octane. While I like mine, it's really loud, the incandescent bulbs (!) in the light bar don't last very long, there's no room in the large case for a single 5.25" drive, the plastic skins are really

Any recommendations for who my employer should be using that would allow us to invest in low fee funds? We're really small, so most people have told me we just don't have the leverage to negotiate a better plan.

That's what I thought. My current strategy is to keep an eye on the total size of our account, hoping it gets big enough to add some better options, or big enough to be worth moving to a cheaper provider. I wonder what it would take to add

How do you transfer from a 401k to an IRA? I work for a very small company, so my 401k investment choices are limited and expensive. I'd love to have a cheap index fund option.

I used a MS trackball (thumb operated) and it read me as 9 years younger than my actual age. I expected the trackball to be a significant handicap, but maybe it's not? It certainly felt like I was struggling to hit the targets, with plent

Hmm. I read the chart as price for the entire drive, not the 'raw materials' of the drive.

The MLC and SLC NAND trends in figure 1 are confusing me. Historically, wasn't SLC first? Yet the graph shows pricing for MLC back to 2001, and SLC back to only 2007-ish. It correctly shows that MLC is less expensive than SLC. Maybe he d

At first glance, it doesn't seem any more compelling than DO. DO and upcloud were nice enough to offer some free credits to the HN crowd for testing.

I've got an iMac that won't keep a wifi connection up for more than an hour or so. I'm not alone, if the support forums are any indication. The $6 usb/wifi dongle from Monoprice stays connected for weeks at a time.

Ever been there? Fayetteville is a nice little college town and part of the booming northwest corner of the state. It's certainly not very poor.
