The best UI ever designed for 3D modelling was Mirai. They also made a junior version called Nendo. There is an open-source clone http://www.wings3d.com/ which is sort of a combination of the ideas in Mirai and Nendo.

It's too bad AFAIK there isn't a NURBS/CAD modeller that has such a good UI design.

People get all crazy with transformers and mixing sections of feed line but it can be done much simpler.

For matching 50ohm stuff (eg. radio and antenna) to 75ohm coax you just need to make sure the length of the coax is a multiple of a half wavelength at the frequency you're using. Done.

I wouldn't remove it but decades ago when the cable guys were hooking up my house they gave me all the extra RG59 they had. It's really high spec stuff, low loss and designed for being outside in the weather.

I use it to connect to my amateur radio antennas. Yes, it's 75 ohm where all my radio stuff is 50 ohm. However, if cut to the proper length it will act like a 50 ohm cable at the frequencies the antenna is for.

if you had a lower UID I would understand... but lets face it, you are a newb that knows nothing!!! Nothing!!!! UID is life!

If this is true then it would make sense for Google maps and the others to offer routing options that also eliminate left turns.

I wonder what happens to traffic if everyone on the road eliminates left turns.

Tesla is a fad like iPod's were a fad. Soon it will be normal.

This is not in any way an endorsement of Tesla. Frankly, this stunt says to me that Musk is a whiny little bitch. Criticism is necessary for product improvement, no matter how stupid it is. If you smack the ban-hammer on any slight then that's just a sign of weakness and vulnerability... and it's unlikely you will get useful feedback in the future.

Same here but Thunderbird is very far out of date as far as development goes. For example, if I reboot my imap server Thunderbird totally loses sync and in fact will not do any updates until I close/reload it. Seriously, the network stack in Thunderbird is totally fucked up.

I continue to use Thunderbird because it is one of the few email clients that support S/MIME... a standard that has been in place for decades yet most email clients can't handle.

Sorry but I'm not putting any "nano" crystal type anything in my mouth. Coal dust, carbon fiber, fiberglass, silica, asbestos... Hello? Have we learned nothing?

I very often am one of the first to bash logos but the Perl logo is not that bad. Maybe not the greatest ever but acceptable. In fact it's way better than the Linux penguin and I say this as a Linux fan since the pre-0.9 days.

I use Perl (5) when I need high speed text/regex/string-hashing processing. It's still the the best to whip up something quick especially when processing text. For anything else I use Lua, C/C++, or if I have to, Python (blech).

Yeah right. Contact us in 10 years and tell us how your grandkids are doing. If not that, then how much prison time she has left.

(for anyone less experienced: the difference between a prepubescent drone and a post-pubescent walking-hormone is quite stark)... biology is an impossible, unpredictable, power. The fact that you think you know better tells of her future.

Sorry but there is probably no way to for you to understand this until you experience it. Good luck, padawan.

Yes, the laminator melts the toner and makes it stick to the board. For a while I would just iron it on but that can be very tricky to do (hand pressure, etc).

I use a LaserJet 1200 which prints very nice thick toner traces.

My laminator is just a cheap one from walmart that I modified to run at a higher temperature. Even at the higher temperature I have to run the board through it 5 or 6 times (at different angles) to make sure all the toner gets stuck to the board. Pre-heating the board would probably make it require less passes but it works well enough without that. Higher-end laminators work better but of course cost a lot.

For printing I use glossy magazine paper (just pages torn out of old magazines) because it's very thin and falls apart/dissolves easily in soapy water leaving just the toner on the board. Some printers will jam when printing on this stuff but the LJ1200 works no problem.

I use a laser printer, print on glossy magazine paper, put the paper toner-side-down on the PCB, run it through a high temp laminator, peal off the paper in soapy water, then etch. Takes almost no time and I can get very near professional results. I can do extremely tight small traces no problem.

I have never tried a double-sided board but I bet I could do it by simply printing the circuit such that the paper could be folded over the PCB then the laminator would stick both sides. Probably be difficult to do but not impossible.

I haven't had a car in over 20 years. I will be happy when everyone has an autonomous car because hopefully then there will be a competent driver behind the wheel that doesn't try to kill me on my motorcycle.

Honestly curious what the "superior" choice is?

The spyware known as Chrome/Chromium? Internet Explorer? The unstable Opera? What is it, man? Please tell us what your awesome browser is so we can join you because frankly I'm out of ideas.
