Poll: bad by gazbo (2.00 / 0) #1 Fri Feb 24, 2006 at 07:07:54 AM EST

Anyone can push an agenda if they get to make their own character.

Fiction, with an agenda.

: and criminal cases, right? by tps12 (2.00 / 0) #3 Fri Feb 24, 2006 at 08:33:19 AM EST

I'd never thought about it, but of course most of those medical stories must be fictionalized to some degree. This one seems really poorly done, though, if the main inspiration was a teenage boy rather than a girl.

ti_monniacal's 3rd Law by ammoniacal (4.00 / 1) #4 Fri Feb 24, 2006 at 03:30:44 PM EST

Any article purporting to discuss flash mobs, without mentioning stepping disks and/or Niven, is not worth a damn.

Irony: ammo says it's time. Tom is blocked.

Re: MOB by calla (2.00 / 0) #5 Fri Feb 24, 2006 at 03:59:29 PM EST

having participated in a MOB group in NYC, I can't imagine them working with the precision indicated in the article.

You can't get New York hipsters to do anything on time.

New Yorkers operate on the 45 minutes fashionably late schedule.

home PCB creation by skippy (2.00 / 0) #6 Fri Feb 24, 2006 at 08:00:38 PM EST

I had no idea this could simply be done with semi-glossy photo paper! All these years I've been avoiding making my PCBs because one needed that stupid Toner Transfer Paper which was ridiculously overpriced. If I'd known it could be done ghetto-style in this way - oh, the circuits I would have built!

: Make sure your acid is good. by wumpus (2.00 / 0) #7 Fri Feb 24, 2006 at 08:58:16 PM EST

My first job straight out of EE school was with a company called Freewing aircraft. They were building drones in a partnership with scaled composites. My job was to build circuitboards for telemetry, as well as software (essentially drivers for I2C bus). Of course, Eagle software wasn't available back in the day (and anybody using iron-on PCBs can't afford real CAD software), so I used MacDraw. Yes, CAD with macdraw.
I was planning on mentioning the obvious "run away, run away", but remembered that my problems centred entirely on the acid I used (completely unlike the stuff I used in highschool shop, that stuff would clean the board empty if you forgot to take it out in a few minutes). I blamed the EPA.
It might work, but I'd prefer the special paper. Just make sure you have good acid.
