Fume extraction has been nagging at the back of my mind for a while. I know we'll need it, I just don't know the best way to do it on a small budget for a small space.
Thanks for the suggestion about power, I know that's one thing that's often overlooked.
As is an anti-static floor, all great suggestions!
Thanks
Submission + - Workbenches/equipment for a hackerspace? 2
andy writes: After gentle prodding for about a year, my company actually agreed to include an electronics/robotics lab in the current build-out of our new office space. As I never really expected this to happen, I was at a bit of a loss when they asked me what sort of workbenches, equipment, etc. I wanted for the lab. The lab will only be approximately 9'x15' but there is a decent amount of vertical space to work with. I was thinking of having 2 workbenches side-by-side, one for 'hardware' and the other for 'software' with a floor-standing cabinet for storage. Semi-mobile workbenches might be a plus. Those of you that work in these sorts of environments, what do you recommend in the way of workbenches, storage, organization, and electronics?
Submission + - Porn Site Gave Federal Agents Free Rein (thesmokinggun.com) 1
Frosty Piss writes: The operators of a notorious porn site Free6.com granted federal agents administrative access to the site, giving investigators the ability to monitor traffic and public and private chats in an effort to identify users trading “a significant amount of child pornography”. Though some bloggers have speculated about whether law enforcement officials have secretly been given administrative access to sites where users have been known to post child pornography (like 4chan), the Free6.com arrangement is apparently the first such compact to be disclosed by investigators.
