Argh! Do you not get symbolism?

True. I'm an EE partly due to ST, trying to build the enterprise in the back yard when I was 4. Best Spock scene was when he made the mnemonic memory circuit with stone knives and bear claws. RIP Spock. Funny too, I am wearing a ST shirt today.

There are no regulations covering firearms manufacturing equipment; at least not YET. They are just covering their asses.

Unfortunatly in my part of town, AT&T has really jumped the gun on Google (see map): http://overlandpark.maps.arcgi... They are rolling along with fiber installation way ahead of Google.

Well my ISP here in Overland Park, KS bumped me from 30/5 to 100/5 for free; huh, they could have done that years ago. Looking forward to Google Fiber this year.

Yes, but Digikey is not making any money off of you. Until recently, they had a handling fee for any orders under $25. I too buy Digikey for home use, but have probably funneled $1M their way as an EE, which includes tape and reel. They often are the only ones to have several uF ceramic caps; I suppose they have the clout to buy up the inventory. But yeah, great prices on USPS shipping. Mouser is good too.

Microcenter has plenty of RPi, Arduino, maker shit, etc.. Micro Center stores are located in metro areas with >2M population. Microcenter doesn't sell those items for shit, even in a market that large. At best they may sell a $40 dev board per day, if even that. No way a rebranded RS could stay in business.

Imagine being a RS employee finding out your new boss is Sprint. Fuck! I'd slit the first wrist from RS I'd slit the other from Sprint.

Digikey and Mouser make their money from selling to engineers, not hobbyists.

Maybe it's time to switch back to paper tape boot loader, or better yet, toggling it in. That would be more secure, and most importantly, more reliable. I've had it with all the security bullshit being added. Just more frustration for the end user.

No, the 2014 model was 1920x1080, just could choose between i5 and i7. I don't see how higher resolution on this new model will help with a 13" screen.

I have a 2014 model of the XPS 13 and it runs Fedora seamlessly, including hibernation, camera, and touch screen. Yet it was still cheaper to buy an windows 8 version of the XPS 13 from microcenter and wipe it, rather than the preloaded developer edition from Dell.

Seems what they are trying to do is measure the propogation as tangent to the earth as possible; i.e. get a really long propogation through the atmosphere. That would allow them measurements nearer the surface. Now if you did that from several directions, it may be sort of a CT scan, and you can isolate regions instead of the whoe path.

They are not. The combination of L1 and L2 allows for estimation of the ionospheric delay since the delay is proportional to frequency (difference between L1 and L2). It's all moot now anyway with the availability of reference stations to obtain a correction.

Is it possible to get tens of watts at W-band without spatial power combing or other hairy stuff? I'm doing some GaN load pull right now, but it's no where near W-band.
