Thats physics made FUN !!!!
How could you not make the connection ?? Throwing a pumkin is 100% Newtonian

did you actually watch the show ?? It was one of the few that really tried to follow actually true physics. There will be no wormholes !!!
Remember it was all one solar systems
It really must suck to be you
Why do you have to be such an ass ?? Really
In regards to the quad copter. The pics of my unit are in the pics section of that aero quad site.Go find them
In regards to your "built a kit" comment
If you want to have a real discussion , feel free to respond. If you want to be an ass
That is exactly the point
One MINOR point
One other key point. The arduino isnt a "development" board. it is the final product for most people that use them. They are not designing something for mass production. They are making something shiny that they will use themselves. As an example , last year for Halloween , I took an uno and a tri color led and made a simulated "candle" for my pumpkin. When I was done with it , I took it apart and used it for something else.
The cost issue
Not sure what you mean by that.
If by that you mean "It just works"
If you are trying to continue the fallacy and say that they are "expensive" , then you are highly mistaken. There is NOTHING stopping you from downloding the source files for the board , and making your own. Not a thing at all. The only thing that you cant do , is call them "arduino"
Perhaps you tried to use the word gaming as humor. Apple is not known for gaming. I know I only use them to play starcraft , perhaps some wow. OH and steam has a bunch of stuff that will run on mac.Oh dont let me forget my "onlive" account also.. To play call of duty , or something like that. I sit on my couch.
( Oh
Anyway
Perhaps he is trying to simulate the flashing cursor during the load.
If we really wanted to nit pick on him
All the reasons the guy listed for why the Arduino 'wins' are not unique to the devices. You can get all of those same things out of a radio shack basic stamp.
Arduino won because the stuck a decent microcontroller on a solid board (I'm ignoring the absolutely retarded pin spacing issue that pisses everyone off) at a decent price with a serial boot loader already burned to the chip. The ATmega chips were popular long before Arduino, so when it came out suddenly all of us who had been futzing around with ATmega's for years finally had a source for a preassembled prototype board rather than constantly cobbling our own together. I've still got several PCBs I etched with a generic prototyping layout in my shop.
They took the need for an Atmel ATmega programmer out of the equation but otherwise you get just a slightly larger than the chip itself prototyping board.
The Arduino software is complete ass, the only reason anyone uses it is because they don't know there something better
Arduino didn't win because its Arduino, it won because it used a microcontroller that had already cornered the market.
There will multiple ATmega chips (the ones used in the Arduino) in every household before the Arduino came into existence.
Basic stamp from radio shack
uno invetors kit from sparkfun
That retarded pin spacing is a feature. Prevents you from plugging in a "shield" wrong
Also , and this is most likely the big reason they are doing so much better then the rest.
They are 100%
a tenth of the price ??
A pro mini ( assembled and tested ) is 18 bucks RETAIL
Please show me the link where I can buy this contiki for $3 ( assembled and tested )
Now please show me where I can get this 32 bit arm board with MB of flash and ram for 40 bucks ( assembled / tested ) and with software to program it. Heck lets go for your 3X price tag so 60 bucks
Arduino isnt meant to be used in a production item. for a production item , you design the circuit and use just the processor / controller . Not the same world.
For the amount of money they cost ??
65 bucks for a completed 2560 with usb interface
20 for a tiny pro with a 328.
Its a 4 layer board assembled in Italy buy people that make a wage that they can feed there family with.
Not a dual layer board put together by slaves in china.
The adruino guys make almost nothing board.
AND ITS ALL OPEN SOURCE
Have you even looked at what some other avr boards cost ??
Also , they are reflow soldered. There is no "solder work" to speak of.
I have YET to come across these "quality control" problems you speak of. I have on my bench right now a mega 2560 delivered within the last 2 weeks running a led matrix of 256 leds , and its been running now for at least 18 hours with no problems.
From my first duleminove through the half dozen tiny pros ive used
You know not what you speak of.
This isn't evolution specific, of course. K-12 physics is usually Newtonian, which isn't just overly simplistic; but known to be false.
you are using the incorrect word there.
Perhaps you should rephrase it as "less then 100% accurate"
And even then , its only less then 100% at high relativistic speeds and at extremely small distances ( quantum ). Plenty good enough to figure out how much damage that car will do when it hits the wall.
Newton was good enough to get us to the moon. Einstein was needed to make the gps network actually function.
Too bad they never developed a mortal kombat style game.
I likely would have bought %subj% just to watch snookies spine get ripped out.
Ok
Also
Say the cobra does 0-60 in 5 seconds
60 mph == 1 mile per min. 10 seconds == 1/6 of a mile
even if this was instant
Perhaps some at the end where the stang can outbreak the camry
There would be no advantage in traffic , as your speed is controlled by the car in front of you
I have owned many cars in my liffe , including a 02 cobra ( only kept it for 6 months
No
Market cap = price per share * number of shares outstanding
P/E = price of stock / total earnings
EPS = Earnings per share
mr jobs does / did things right to get those numbers
mr netgear talks bullshit about a company that posts numbers that would make him cream his pants.
1k in netgear 5 years ago
1k in apple 5 years ago == over 3k today
