mod parent up! I wish the republican party could be taken back over by intellectual conservatives who actually believe in less spending. I don't care if Glenn Beck is a member of the Green party, he is just crazy.

Geocities Shutting Down Today 396

Posted by kdawson on Monday October 26, 2009 @12:50PM from the goodbye-and-thanks-for-all-the-blinkies dept.

Paolo DF writes "Geocities is closing today. Its advent in 1995 was a sign of the rising 'Internet for everyone' era, when connection speeds were 1,000x or 2,000x slower than is common today. You may love it or hate it, but millions of people had their first contact with a Web presence right here. I know that Geocities is something that most Slashdotters will see as a n00b thing — the Internet was fine before Geocities — but nevertheless I think that some credit is due. Heck, there's even a modified xkcd homepage to mark the occasion." Reader commodore64_love notes a few more tributes around the Web. Last spring we discussed Yahoo's announcment that Geocities would be going away.

Just get an Arduino, and some large FETS. Implementing high power PWM for dimming lights really isn't that hard because you don't need high switching frequencies.

Even in a bound state I'd be interested in seeing a stable Muon compound
