Comment Good Workbench, plenty of outlets (Score 1) 174

You don't say what your budget is, but good, sturdy workbenches (like these) with plenty of outlets for power supplies, scopes, meters, etc. as well as built in drawers and cabinet space.

If you are looking for suggestions on equipment, power supplies like the Topward 6000D series or similar (multiple output, adjustable, current limiting supplies) are invaluable. Good o-scope, handheld multimeter, etc. if you don't already have that stuff.

Comment Re:Anyone even using VS 2008 yet? (Score 1) 236

Actually, I think the Eclipse CDT plugin provides some amount of C++ refactoring. I know it can at least do some simple variable renaming, since I did that the other day. Not sure how much it can do beyond that, though.

Other than that, yeah, automated refactoring is just going to be much harder for C++ than for most other languages.

Comment NSLU2 (Score 2, Insightful) 802

I'll add another plug for the NSLU. Got one of those handling image data from remote security cameras. Works great. Note that you have to have USB hard drive however, as it does not have SATA support directly.

Also, I did mod the box so that it powers back on automatically after a power failure.
