I second this recommendation, the Axelson book is fantastic!

Most of my development is in Python and tabs are discouraged there.

It seemed to run fine for a while, but right after that 110C reading, it crashes. Now it easily climbs back up to that and crashes. I assume that the temp sensor is reading right? It said the CPU diode was hitting 110, and the under-chip sensor was around 55. I think the chip might just be...

Have you ever opened a keyboard? This thread got so derailed... He's trying to cut his keyboard membrane in half and connect the two halves, so that he can split the keyboard.

I realize that this is older hardware, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice about this. It's an AXP2500+ (the ones that would OC like crazy) on an Asus A7N8X-X. It is a friend of mines, I built it for her maybe... 3-4 years ago? At any rate, it started giving her trouble a few weeks...

Well, to prevent people from seeing a directory listing of adirectory, you should be able to just put a blank index.html in it.

Not grep, but you can use sed: tony@couchpotato:~$ cat sedtest.txt AB4CD>APRS,TCPXX*,qAX,THIRD-2:@140409z3618.52N/08224.42W_099/000g002t043r001P000p003h89b102 02v31<br> tony@couchpotato:~$ cat sedtest.txt | sed 's/.*\(_.*\)<br>/\1/' _099/000g002t043r001P000p003h89b102 02v31

The preprocessor has no idea that you're going to be calling it _HEADER_H. That is just a standard convention used. Other people could use definitions like that for other things.

There are several forum programs that will actually keep track of which threads you have and haven't read, and which posts are new to you in each thread (just not VB or phpBB). I'm not sure how they do it though, but it is an incredibly handy feature to have; for example, I don't come to the...

Sometimes. Sometimes just doing a one-off task in Excel is way quicker, no matter what other people tell you :D

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this (I didn't notice it if someone did, sorry). Your flash navigation bar is confusing to me. When I mouse over one of the links, it says "receiving data" with the little spinny thing, but nothing ever shows up.

I haven't used it personally in many years, but most of the time, you know a FrontPage site when you see it. I'm not sure if it's necessarily hard to make a "professional" looking site with it, but many of the sites made with it look like crap :). To look at it a different way, Microsoft has...

I didn't get it.

That sounds full of courage!

I've never written code to do exactly what you're doing, but we did talk about DDS waveform generation in a DSP class I took. If you want to bounce some ideas off me, feel free to PM me.

The nice thing about those books is that they can get you thinking about different approaches. Sure, it's easy to google for an h-bridge, but how do you google for it if you haven't ever seen it before? That's a poor example, because "motor driver" would probably find it... but you get the...

Bump <3 for the puppy :)

Do it in parallel. Your power brick needs to be able to supply enough current for ALL of them. For example, if each of the CCFL inverters need 150mA, and you have 4 of them, then your wall wart needs to provide at least 600mA (probably want to leave some headroom too).

Could be just from general abuse. I think a lot of people assume that they can just throw those things in their pockets and kick the crap out of them.

An awesome suggestion! We're using PyOpenGL right now at work, and it's quite nice (generally) to work with. If you plan on using any recent extensions (standardized and stabilized within the last year), drop me a line. I've custom-compiled a version of PyOpenGL from the CVS tree and got it...

On my keyboard here, it's pretty easy to make both of those mistakes. 3 is right in line with e, 0 right in line with o.

It could very well be included in a straight-up HTML file, in comments: <!-- haha ereet hax: <? echo "pwnd" ?> -->

It can save a lot of work for the less-intricate parts of a board. I just designed a board with an SSOP USB chip on it and had to hand-route that, but otherwise, the autorouter did a pretty good job.

The big thing about measuring power factor is that you have to simultaneously measure the voltage across the hot and neutral, and the current. After that, you have to look at the phase difference between the two waves. Not something that is easy to do with a standard meter, unless it...

Ahh. There's a serious serious security hole just asking to be exploited here. Lets say I hosted a page that wasn't on a PHP-enabled server, and included PHP code in it. The PHP code would be passed directly to the copy of PHP on *your* server, and be executed there!

This point seems to be lost on many CS students as well. I'm in a unique position at my university where I'm doing a full-blown EE degree, and taking a CS certificate on top of it. Side note: The CS certificate involves all of the computer science and math requirements for a 4-year CS...

http://rubyquiz.com/ Also, if you plan on doing Ruby on Rails, I highly recommend Agile Web Development with Rails

That's right. If you want to have raw output, you have to use sys.stdout.write. If you're looking for something like format strings (e.g. printf), you can do something like: sys.stdout.write("%d%d%d\n" % (var1, var2, var3)) You can use format strings like this anywhere you'd like, for...

Yeah, I showed up this morning too and found genmay to be missing. I finally just up and bought the 30 year membership, since I've been dropping $5/year since it started anyways... I guess I'll stick around :D

:D Memtest86 is what I was using. I was very surprised that it got that General Protection Fault while running. That leads me to believe there may be something else at play here too. Sadly, I don't have any other cards I can test with. This system is several years newer than anything...

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions. I've pretty much run out of ideas, but don't want to take this rig back unless anyone else has any ideas. Hardware: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe Athlon64 X2 4400+ 2Gb of generic PC3200 DDR (I'm going to have to dig up the invoice, I...

Hi! I'm working in a research lab for the summer, and we're looking to get a very fast projector (LCD/DLP presumably). I admit I don't know a whole lot about the technology used in them. I found a Sharp projector that claims to have a max vertical refresh rate of 200hz. Would it be...

If you happen to have a unixy machine (Linux, OSX, etc...) available at school, try looking at the program "dig". It should be preinstalled, and is very useful in debugging DNS things.

From my personal experience (currently in undergrad, doing an EE and CS dual degree program), a great way to get into the field you're interested in is to get to know your professors! Sure, for your masters you will have a supervisor, but you also need to get to know the others in your...

I'm personally a huge fan of XCode and associated tools for making really nice GUIs. As a curiousity though, HJB, what are you talking about for making really easy GUIs on Win32? VB? Other than that, I've always found it to be a huge huge pain in the ass. If there's just something that...

A lot of the stuff you'd be doing with flash (like a photo gallery) can be done with AJAX, if you're interested in learning about that. I honestly don't know a whole lot about it though...

I don't think you'd have any problem just hooking it up, since you can actually buy this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/pcmods/cables/6b35/
