As an EE I can tell you you're just wrong. Multiple ground pads exist for signal integrity reasons, not "redundancy". If any one of those GND pads isn't connected, you're setting yourself up for instability and problems. Look at any BGA processor or SoC, they still have all those grounds. They're not "redundancy". You're taking a far too simplistic view of how digital electronics work.

Not open?

To be fair, on vehicles with stability control it's the exact same system. Stability control is basically just a more advanced traction control, and I'd say it's pretty safe to assume that most vehicles have stability control now.

...and the Pandaboard, which is the only device that joe-shmoe can buy off the shelf, download the Android Open-Source Project code, and start developing on instantly. I'm very afraid of how Amazon might ruin the OMAP for the rest of us if they buy it.

I've always wanted a couple thousand dollars to spend at tims...

This is Slashdot, News for nerds, as it says on the top. I'm afraid you're in the minority here. I'd assume that most /.ers either know what single link vs dual link DVI is, or would be interested to learn.

He's a fool. [for MBTI at least] you don't want a 100% match for finding a SO, they say. 50 or 75% match is ideal. The logic behind this is that if you have a very similar personality, you're more likely to clash when you disagree on something. But slight differences make it not so bad.

If you think about this, it makes sense. I wouldn't want to live with me. :P

Maybe your comment is going over my head, but the article actually says that cash transactions will be rounded to the nearest. Not up or down.

It's not really a big deal. I have a 10Mbps DSL connection with no cap for $40 a month from SaskTel. They actually offer connections up to 25Mbps (DSL, I kid you not), but they cost nearly $100 a month. Still though, no caps. VDSL

Google charges per click though.

It was a residential street. Don't be stupid, of course it's as bad as it sounds. Don't get me wrong, I drive an LS1 Trans Am, and I have a heavy foot. But a residential street? No. Never. That's just stupid.

I'm from Saskatchewan too. I thought we called it "western Canada". East is the maritimes...I think that leaves Ontario to be the center.

All you at work in Kanata, get back to work!

That's what you may prefer, but you are the aging generation. If you look at the cell phone market you will quickly realize that smartphones, or even just "texting" dumbphones with full keyboards are becoming very popular. You don't even want to know how many highschool girls walk around with Blackberries. I'm sorry, but you are going to start noticing less and less cellphones without full keyboards.

Sounds like Directed Electronics Inc (DEI). If you want a car starter you either buy a Compustar or a DEI...there is nobody else left. Over the years DEI has bought out several competitors, if only for their patents. Viper, Clifford, Python...all DEI (now), and all sell the exact same products. Some /.s might know that Viper (a DEI company) just released an iPhone interface for their starters. Pretty neat idea, no? I thought so, I was going to do something similar for my 4th year EE progect at school...until this came out. Anyway, while researching this I noticed that Clifford filed a patent for this in 1989, 11 years before being bought out by DEI, only to have DEI sell a product using that patent under their own name 9 years after that. Crazy how this stuff works.
