I looked up Dice Holdings, Inc and at first believed it was some \. jape, like a fake website constructed to mess with people. But further investigation showed it was no jape at all, and the crap blogspam I have seen populating this site now makes perfect sense. Thank you JustOK.

"...lots of people jumped to the salacious conclusion that a U.S.-based Foxconn factory could finally produce an American-made iPhone..." Including freaking /. itself at http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/11/09/0136211/foxconn-sees-new-source-of-cheap-labor-the-united-states. I've watched this site slowly assimilate into the blogspam world, and here is a perfect example.

No shit. Now I know. Thanks for the knowledge.

The recipe is pretty straight forward, but what is white house honey? It looks like it is 1 lb of actual honey based on the fact you add it at the end. But is it just normal honey, or is there some special twist that makes it 'white house honey'? Do they have a bunch of bees in the attic?

I just moved to Austin and am wanting to start hobbyist robotics, so this post was extremely useful. Thanks.

I don't know where else to post this. Is there a way to stop any apple and apple/samsung patent war posts from being displayed to me? I can't express how much I don't care to see this on slashdot while I browse for interesting things, but seemingly have to. Is there a way to block these types of posts?

So I forwarded this page to an ophthalmologist and apparently it is a well-known phenomenon for new IOL's.

So I was apparently logged out of my account gargeug I wanted to make this post from. Why is there not some prompt like "Are you sure you want to post this anonymously?"

Seriously. All this article is making me feel is dread knowing a new barrage of requests to update firefox will soon be arriving, and I will have to ignore them for a few weeks so I don't lose any of my add-ons. I'm not a software developer, but I'm pretty sure dread is not a feeling developers should be striving to instill.

There is a professor named Eric Klavins at University of Washington who was doing this like 2 years ago. I toured his lab and I think he already had all the basic logic gates working, and they were working on getting an oscillator going. Here is his site in case you are interested. http://depts.washington.edu/soslab/mw/index.php?title=Main_Page

Wow, you can write at a whopping 12,500 feet. I'm sure that did wonders up in space...

I am right there with you. I seem to have lost half of my add-ons since they started this release schedule. They weren't super important ones, but these add-ons are really the only reason I use firefox. Once an upgrade kills one of my main ones, I think I am gone. In fact tonight I plan on installing a few other browsers to see if I like them in preparation for the inevitable. I've been hearing good things about Opera. btw...I like your nicely veiled signature on Heisenburg

I was working on a metering device for residential solar arrays and attempted to contact google about the technical aspects to link our product easily with google's powermeter, as it was just getting going. They never got back to me or showed any interest in getting some products to adopt the technology. Seems to me they lost it on their own...

Well, we just learned about this in a graduate comp arch course and yeah, it can get hairy. Especially if using a processor consistency model as opposed to the sequential consistency model. The easiest fix is to throw up some fence instructions around the interdependent code sections to force sequential consistency, and then lay some flags as a means of time signaling between the processors. This eliminates the randomness that the author discussed in one of the examples.

Here is a link that shows the actual PCBs rather than, say, a cracker... http://www.space.com/11508-shuttle-launch-satellite-chips-endeavour.html
