LEGO automatic transmission ... I haven't watched the videos. Not sure I will as I would be tempted to re-invest in those little bricks again.:rolleyes:

... how the 'net would change if there was no anonymity?

I read so much stuff during the month and I am never sure what might be of interest. Personally I hate bike helmets, I am one of those that survived those days "back in the day" (there were no bike helmets), but this looks like something that can evolve into something that makes perfect sense...

everyone undoubtedly needs 2 or 3 of these:rolleyes: LOL

I just became aware of this magazine. It is devoted to gadget construction projects. Get a load of the "Kids Walker". hahaha ... there are so many politically incorrect things about this thing that it would last about 5 minutes under threat of all of the law suites ... at least in the US.:(

It sometimes takes me a couple of weeks to get thru all my trade pubs ... paper or e-versions. I just noticed this article in MPD. Of interest is the discussion about compatibility issues with the way some manufacturers have/are implementing the required spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) and...

I have wondered if any or are all of the ebook readers compatible with Project Gutenberg eBooks? I have also thought that I *might* be interested in an ebook reader if my tech magazines were easily available on them ... automagically would be great. So maybe my question is; are all ebook...

I guess I feel like goofing off today as I am reading anything not related to work. I received an email from XFX about this. I assume because I might have registered my cards. I am interested in hearing about reviews of this card with the adjacent slots also populated with this card...

The thoroughness of the dissection is as interesting as the topic. Do note some of the reader comments; informative and humorous as usual. I am particularly interested in the Canadian manufacturer's comments & who that might be? There is also a comment about RFI. I think I'll look into that a...

Toshiba's sample media is still in the prototype stage, but is built at a density equivalent to 2.5 terabits per square inch. Contrast that with Toshiba's current highest capacity drive today, which is based on existing technology and has a density of 541 gigabits per square inch or about one...

Ok. So we all know what this really means, but why do I have visions of or imagine a SNL skit of a shiny robotic pill you take & will clean your ... uh ... well, automatically do the paper work for you when it is excreted? Sort of a sci-fi bidet, which also reminds me of another Saturday Night...

I first thought that Analytics was just some invented term that this guy came up with. A google for "analytics" does lead to a wikipedia definition which seems in line. In a way it is just statistical analysis, but he is using it in a very general term. Engineers use it to try to figure out...

This article from EDN got me thinking about my recent purchase of a Sony Blu-ray player for 1 of my TVs ... $130(US). First Blu-ray player for me. This was also what I paid for my 1st DVD player ... long, long, lo-o-ong ago. Actually this Blu-ray player was purchased by a friend for me. Had...

In this context I am using "PC" as politically correct:rolleyes: ... The Periodic Table of Irrational Nonsense Never the less, I thought he put it together pretty well.:o

http://spectrum.ieee.org/magazine/ ... in case there are other articles of interest. I have only had a chance to glance thru 1, already posted here.

The Trouble With Multicore I have only had time to read lightly thru this, but the number of failed companies at the end of the 1st page gave me a jolt. There were a lot of very intelligent and well educated people behind and in those companies.

65 fans, 112 setups for case cooling. The OP has the 1st 36 posts in the thread with a lot of pics == slower load time in your browser. I have a new build thread going on in modding, but at this beginning stage the build is more about cooling. Actually I have confused myself about where I...

I need the cores. I have a water cooled i7 920 OC-ed to almost 4.5 GHz (in the signature) running 24x7 and frequently CPU utilization gets maxed from many minutes to several hours. The original plan was to just upgrade it ... swapping out the 920 for the 980X ... per Rob's suggestion. And, a...

From my online edition of IEEE Spectrum is a little of what I am starting to see about E3

I have been teetering for the past few weeks about buying a i7 980X. This response from support of one of the programs I use kind of spoiled the notion. The software is actually a collection of various "solvers" which are all multi-threaded number-crunchers. They can run from minutes to days...
