Three-hundred large for a model boat ? To me, it looks like a $3k boat that should be (over)priced at $30k. Maybe that is 'retail' and they'll knock fifty-grand off and sell it for the bargain price of a quarter-of-a-million dollars!

I had an Intel 32G X25-V value drive that failed and lost all its data. And then a Corsair drive that failed and I sent it back and they sent a replacement. I have a bunch of OCZ drives but so far I don't think any of them have failed. Ju

My personal failure rate with SSD drives has been close to 50%. I like them, I use them, but I don't trust them!

Isn't it fairly trivial to get around this patent? Instead of 'one-click' to scan a document and email it, just scan the document to a file and then attach the file to an email. Training employees to do this would cost less then $1000/empl

The second thing I thought about after seeing that video was a story I had read a long time ago about a telepresence mechanical dragonfly. And then shazam, I clicked the link!

Well, let's give it a try. A better question is, who did the Postal Workers Union pay to get this tripe published? "What it is is a miracle of high technology and human touch. It's what binds us together as a country." Really?

The schematic is wrong, the relay and diode should be moved to be 'on top' of the transistor. But the circuit on the perfboard looks correct. The diode goes across the relay coil because when the relay coil is turned off, there will be an

Nope. Doesn't work that way. Don't get me wrong, I think merchant processing fees are outrageously high, and that merchants should be allowed to add a few percent for payment with credit cards, in order to encourage cash/debit card payment

TL;DR It's better to buy with a credit card, it costs nothing (individually), and you get benefits. There is a cost to society (everything costs a few % more), but I don't see that changing anytime soon. No, no ... no. The cost is not to

"We’re full-service, Vancouver-based, work-proven, and incredibly lovable." Sounds like an Escort Service. Am I correct in assuming you're all under 25-years old? Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. But I would suggest a little bit more

I hope you're not serious. Not about the second part, that sounds like a great idea. About the first part. You need for your business to be successful in order to have any chance of attracting a patent troll. Most businesses don't get succ

In the USA, you can't represent yourself if you are a corporation or an LLC. Gotta pay a lawyer. Although I suppose you can find some unemployed law school graduate pretty cheap on craigslist.

That's actually the nice thing about it. After you've designed and debugged your project on the Arduino board, you can implement it with a $2.50 AVR (+ a few support items). You can't do that with, for example, the Raspberry PI or the Ne

Well, none of these methods is sufficient to destroy the Arduino , you will just destroy the ($2.50) AVR. I would certainly recommend using the UNO or earlier revision with the socketed AVR. Then you can have a couple of spare ATmega328's

This post reads like a thinly-disguised ad for the "Phidgets SBC2", a $230 board similar to the $35 Raspberry Pi, but with a slower processor, less memory, and no HDMI output. It does have built-in IO, which you'd need an expansion board t
