Maybe you noticed an up surge in the spam you are getting.., there are many sneaky ways these spammers get real live email addresses. Yep, there are ways. Some spammers write bots (software) that go around the internet and copy down email adresses. Could the admins, trace back the IP address of the...

What USB data aquisition hardware are you using? There's a couple, even for Linux.

A thermal logger: http://www.picotech.com/thermocouple.html

and the one for Linux:

Yep, I agree with MrAl. Replying to them shows them that they are getting our attention. Instead we want them to think the opposite. Although, having a new moderator would be nice, it would have to be someone who we can really, really trust...

I was also disappointed today to find that every category in this forum was covered in spam from people such as oftendgmibtoplez, etc. It's the weekends right now, and I think the Admin staff of this forum are off work and cannot delete these spam posts. Thus I think this forum needs people who ofte...

If you're desperate in getting rid of those mags, may I take them for $10. I'm sorry, but I'm only an engineering student... I'll pay the shipping....

I remember reading about CERN generating mini black holes a while ago. They were using their atomic smasher to generate black holes to study the effects of Hawking radiation.

That Apollo Guidance computer looks cool. Took the guy however four years to build. I just finished building, I guess it's a prototype , my 4 bit computer. It uses 74181 for ALU, 74367 for I/O, 74175 for registers and is clocked using a 555 timer.

Are the specs on the contest details final yet? I might think about joining this...

I guess you could look here: PICs versus AVR on comp.arch.embedded. For a beginner who wants to start fast, I would suggest a Basic Stamp (such as a Stamp II with BOE). Also there is a lot of support for the Stamp. :smile: For a similar route, you could try a PIC. Offers simplicity (lots of BASIC co...

Your question got me thinking about it also EEPROM7771. Looked it up in Wikipedia and I guess your assumption was correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++#The_name_.22C.2B.2B.22

Interesting article you have there... I read more about CFL on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp Although CFL's are nice, I would like to have LEDs (electroluminescence bulbs) to be the light bulb of the future. LEDs: * uses a lot less energy * gives off a lot less hea...

Though this might interest you:

Control a cell phone LCD through parallel port: http://serdisplib.sourceforge.net/ser/pcd8544.html

They're using pcd8544 based LCDs from Nokia cell phones.

I'm confused in what you're talking about. What people are you talking about and what software are they giving away?

Just got my issue of Electronic Design in mail... The car is expected to come out in early 2007, but the price is starting at $100,000. Overall, I think its a good car anyway. It has nifty features also....

Cool! Controlling a robot via your brain! I saw something similar being done using your brain to play video games a couple of years ago. I looked it up on the internet and found this:
