We older Geeks like to hang on to things. Look in your Grandma's wardrobe.
I thought a furry was what you got if you left a raspberry in the fruit-bowl for over a week.
<t>Looked at 99-bottles-of-beer, hadn't realised just how many there were (languges, not bottles).<br/> Yes, seems a good idea for a topic, and should give some of the more knowledgeable of you something to think about, as long as you don't all start dogfights as to whether something is a pro or a c...
<t>I've just noticed I've turned whortleberry (still Vaccinium though) so I ought to introduce myself.<br/> Born before the modern era (1949), raised by the OU on a DEC via modem, made a living fixing things in the broadcast TV area (or finding excuses why I couldn't). Retired after being made redun...
<t>If the boards are the same, and they're doing what I would think of doing - replace the 9512 with a 0R link or two - then I can still use the rework station. And if the tracks are buried only one layer down from either side, then I've got a nifty trick with the dentist's drill, 28 guage wire and ...
Is the PCB the same between A & B? Earlier I understood they were different, to the extent of 4 / 6 layers. If they're the same it would make Christmas more fun (fires up the surface-mount rework station) Do we yet know if the connectors are still all through hole?
"Relax" the man says! How can I relax? My tongue's been hanging out so far for so long I'm sitting in a pool of drool!
Beginning of November now 20 days, end of Nov 49 days, but end of December another 31 days!
HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT?!?
<t>First thought: this screws up my view of the world - that almost everything we do is based on the client-server paradigm. Here we have a RasPi as a VNC client behaving like a server, and a Mac, the VNC server, acting as client. Something like tele-sales cold-calling.<br/> Second thought: this is ...
<t>Had a situation years ago, two boxes,each watching for a heartbeat from the other. If one saw the other's heartbeat went missing, it shut off the power to it. Trouble was, start first one up, it saw no heartbeat so it powered off the second before it could get going. Worked on paper, not in real ...
Forth?
I was told a long time ago that the first Forth compiler was written in Forth ...
According to Wikipedia ... but then you can read that yourselves.
I tried it on the BBC B, liked it but didn't get very far.
<r>Have a look at <URL url="http://www.riscosopen.org">http://www.riscosopen.org</URL><br/> Risc OS, written for Acorn Archimedes, RiscPC, Iyonix, is 8MB including the Basic interpreter, and runs on an ARM processor. The hardware of one of these is esentially different from the RasPi or the BeagleBo...
I thought I understood the original question, and the first answer. 2nd one made sense as well. Then I got lost. FIR? Is the F fourier? IIR? Please explain for us thickos!
<r>Don't know if this is any help, or just muddying the waters.<br/> As far as I can see half the problem is that RasPi & internet cafe are both only USB hosts.<br/> But Maplin sell a device for £15 (<URL url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/usb-da.....ble-221132">http://www.maplin.co.uk/usb-da.....ble-...
Amazon emailed me about their new cut-down kindle @ £89. Maybe when the pi\'s arrived I\'ll invest just to see what the display\'s capable of. Doubt I\'ll be the only one ...
Like it!... where\'s the favicon?
Strewn round my desktop are links to various sites, each using its favicon to ID it.
Up till now RPi.org has had the generic icon.
I want the proper one! and I want it NOW! No excuses! You\'ve had 13 hours to put it there! Where is it?
That's not fair! Now my post refers to to something you now haven't said so I'll have to unsay what I said, which means what you unsaid should ideally be re-said and then I'll have to re-say what I unsaid... talk about shooting your grandfather!
<t>95%... that's me. Partly, that's why I like Rpi, I'll be feeling good while doing something for myself. I don't see much use for my talents with my chosen favourite charities - DogsTrust, Lifeboats, Mountain Rescue don't have electronic wizz-kids. So more strength to the ARMs of those nearer the ...
<t>This has excited my interest - years ago when I was there, Leeds University had a cosmic ray observatory - maybe it's still going - which covered a fairly large area with detectors to collect showers.<br/> How does your system work, and how do you see it evolving?<br/> My first impression from wh...
<t>While the board colour is interesting, noone has yet mentioned the colour of the board EDGE. This is IMPORTANT. Remember those pens you could buy for CDs, that improved the audio quality? I'm sure if someone were to do the appropriate experiment, they would find:<br/> a) green-coloured edging wou...
<t>Hmm...If it's only going to be "Buy-One-Give-One" to start with, and the queue's already three times round the block...would saying "Buy-One-Give-Two" get me anywhere near the front of the queue? Let's see, one B + p&p + one Give-One (no p&p on that I assume) = £... What price queue-jumpi...
