Yes, let's figure out ways to continue to make the drugs that kills us without using the base products instead of oh, I dunno...figuring out how to not ensure demand stays at 100%.

After all, it's obvious the inherent problem to solve with cocaine addiction is the cocoa leaf.

I'm certain the cure for obesity is smaller forks too.

Let me see... You would prefer a solid "OS" on a nicely embedded device, along with the flexibility to upgrade easily over the 5-7 year expected lifetime of a TV product?

No problem. Hope you don't mind taking out a multi-year loan for that $15,000 television set.

The words very cheap have never rung so hard in your wallet. And today, when something doesn't work due to obsolescence, the answer is to throw it away and buy a new one, thus defining the problem as there isn't a problem here, according to the vendors.

The hardware you want doesn't exist unless you make it. And it it's not planned either. To guarantee revenue.

Details. Details.

What is the difference between impeachment and being forced to resign? That's like quibbling over whether you were forced to quit or were fired. It's a semantic detail that doesn't matter worth shit to anyone except pedantrists.

The problem is often the requirements are difficult or near impossible to Implement, hunse why these guys use this to make money. It is a law designed to force people to fail, because it is too overreaching. There is a wide area of disabilities that the ADA covers. So chances are you may be missing some, or implemented incorrectly. That Ramp may be too much of a slope... However if you go any further it could disrupt traffic, or be a tripping hazard. Paying the fine, is sometimes cheaper and less handle then trying to change it.

Good accessibility is really hard to obtain.
Should we sue an Art Museum? Because blind people cannot see the paintings, and are not allowed to touch them?
Today's modern web is not so much about displaying documents that will link to their references, but more of an application front end engine.

Back in the early 00's We could make a nice website that looks good and is accessible. Today that is much harder, as the usage of a web page, is less of a poster board for static information, but much more interactive. Instead of suing the Creators of the content, the target should go to the web browser makers who have failed to make a good acceptable browser.

Well the bad guys were... Being that it was created 32 years after World War 2.
The Nazis are still considered the group of people who are at their worst, and could have won.
Sure we had Communists and Terrorist but they are seen as less of a Evil or Major Threat.
The Terrorists are considered an Evil group. However they are are just a bunch of bullies, who haven't (compared to the military actions in the past) gained much foothold.
The Communists were less Evil, but more a solid threat, the Soviets had taken control of many countries, and having a Nuclear Arsenal as well made them really scarry.

It isn't like the partial law from Star Wars isn't based on the well documented Roman System of governance.
You know the idea that there was a Republic system of government with a constitutional rule that will grant someone emergancy full authority in times of war. Which was abused by Julius Caesar to allow him to create the Roman Empire. Or was it Senator Palpatine who created the Galactic empire?

The importance of having air support for a military conquest.

I figure that 10% of the engineering students get into the major because they thought they will be driving trains.

Also it wasn't Windows, that sparked the Clone market, it was Good old DOS.
By the time Windows 3.0 (The first popular version) came out MS DOS was king, you went to a software store, you will have a shelf for Apple, a half shelf for Amiga and Commodore, then the rest of the store was for MS DOS IBM Compatibles.

But we Bought IBM Compatible computers, because they were cheaper, and they were no issues with quality. If you buy a Honda compatible car. Will it have the reliability and quality that we connect to Honda. Hyundai seems to have been trying to make mock luxury cars... They look attractive, have all the bells and whistles. But where are all the Hundia fans? There seems to be a lot of people with issues with them.

I think it isn't an issue of difference in the generations, Millennials vs Gen X, but just an issue of Age, where 25 year old are not dieing out they are constantly being replenished.

16-25 Is the time you are experiencing your independence. Going to college living on your own, hanging out with friends, It is new and exciting, you have little responsibilities (At least responsibilities with a short term effect), A car with a lot of gizmos that is sleek and fast, means you would be the one who is driving, the ones who the people will hand out with you for.

Then By the 25 age range, real life kicks in, you got a Job, have to pay for Rent or a Mortgage, you may be starting a family whose needs and wants exceed your own. While those Gizmos may be cool and fun, they are no longer your major concern. Now this isn't all that bad, you are more mature and comfortable with yourself, things don't bother you so much, but you also need such distractions as well.

Oh horse crap. If someone is capable of hooking up a basic led and resistor, and capable of churning out C++ and setting up the Arduino IDE then it is absolutely trivial for them to hook up 6 wires to a breadboard and run a command on their computer to flash a microcontroller. Just how dumb do you think the average tinkerer is? I've seen accountants do this with nothing more than a fleeting interest in electronics.

Ok given your search results I retract my statement. Some people are intellectually challenged.
For the record the first 4 results on "ISP Programmer"
1. Wikipedia entry on ISP with not 1, not 2, but 3 pictures showing the pinout for AVR microcontrollers. Yes 3 pictures on the first entry on the first search. It's amazing that you couldn't figure this out.
2. This is even better. The second entry is a link to a tutorial on Arduino.cc on how to use and Arduino to program AVRs. We're actually talking about the application that you said is too hard for people to do, which I said requires a minimal amount of hardware, and the tutorial shows you how to do it with no hardware, complete with pictures on how the wiring is done (not even a schematic a breadboard picture), a tutorial which does the very thing we're talking about from the very site people are most likely to use if they play with arduinos. You just can't make this shit up.
3. A link to adafruit's blog with a list of cheap ISP programmers and how to use them.
4. A link to Atmel's Application note on AVRs.

Have you tried http://www.arduino.cc/ and then clicking on buy? 4euro + VAT for the exact chip in the Arduino UNO preloaded with the bootloader right from the source.

Sure. We're discussing an article that is discussing laying out a PCB. If they can layout a circuit board then they can get USB working. The tight specs and tolerances on USB matter a bit on high speed USB2.0 applications but the vast majority of people are going to do something trivially basic like load the LUFA libraries out of the box and click go, or load V-USB. Incidentally a how-to with pictures on how to get V-USB working is the first hit on Google for "AVR USB".

Nope just the microcontroller, right from the Arduino website with everything preloaded.

What is the difference between buying a fully leveled character and using a bot to make one?

And I've played grindy MMOs before, when you get good at it (the grinding) your actions aren't easy to tell from a bot anyway.

Unless you have any kind of application that requires any kind of critical timing, or you actually want to run an AVR at even remotely above half its rated speed.

Yep beginner projects like making a clock without an external RTC, flashing or multiplexing LEDs, or god forbid you do something as amazing as connect it to USB which is a built in feature of many microcontrollers these days which they can't do with the horrendously inaccurate internal RC oscillator.

You'll need a crystal for any of the above applications. But sure if you're flashing an LED on and off at some rough approximation at once Hz then there's no need for a crystal, but if you think that's the kind of thing "beginners" are doing then you've got some reading to do.
