With no single known cure available for a given condition, one of the most useful parameters in case treatment is chosen might just be simple toxicity itself, depending on how the …

I support the napping for productivity without having artificial stimulants (OK, natural organic drugs) involved. The studies likely involved mostly habitual users rather than unin…

I posted these once before and seems like nobody noticed at the time: Fred Nachbaur of the internet, one of his interesting projects: announced on rec.audio.tubes: https://groups.g…

This is what I am always saying in relation to funding, even though I usually don't mention it directly. Any capitalist will profit from backing you through thick & thin. So much s…

That's what I thought when I first started innovating in the mature technical field of petro/chemical analysis. It would require a lot of self-dedication. Since I was already a you…

In my case I just used the Atari trackball to point & click (& drag) for my own purposes when programming my regular Atari in early 1982. About 5years later when mouses started to …

I like what knighthacker says too. I have thought for a long time that a good choice for a 50/50 business arrangement is where both parties feel perfectly comfortable each doing 60…

I sure have found a lot more discarded PC's than I have toasters. If you can't produce a system (hardware, software, and "support" if absolutely necessary) which can outlast a toas…

If it's an electronic product, the customer rightly expects it to last as long as other familiar electronic products. If it's an expensive product then the customer rightly expects…

Old pre-PC data systems which had COM (RS-232) ports could be directly connected to (dumb or smart) terminals by a simple RS-232 cable. To remotely communicate, each device would n…

Polycarbonate bottles were not in widespread consumer use back in 1970. Even though this particular polymer was originally discovered over 100years ago, and relatively modern produ…

On most PC's in BIOS (or UEFI) you can set the default boot order however you want, to prioritize USB, HDD, CDROM, Network, even floppy still. This has been the norm for about 10ye…

Well, ya never know sometimes. Anyone who is serious, I have built a very high quality phono preamp (well-proven prototype) especially for digitizing not only 45's & 33's (which ad…

Well, if you all are into old games vs PC other than just Tetris, there's always Acquire which was originally a 3M board game from the 1960's. That was when I played it as a young …

The "Federal Poisoning Program" is still in force currently in 27 CFR 19 - 21 as posted by esbranson. Industrial alcohol can contain numerous optional denaturants other than methan…

Keep in mind she's answering her own question about why she can't find good programmers.

The firmware on today's USB drives is flashable from Windows (usually XP) using the manufacturer's proprietary utility for that particular flash memory controller. Sandisk remains …

Troubleshooting and problem-solving are specific skills that can be completely unrelated to software, even tricky software. It's great when both problem-solving and outstanding eng…

You mean IOW a blog?

A lot of innovation is individual as opposed to institutional. Motivated, technically qualified individuals have always been "out there", but now they are lost in the wash with so …

That's what broadband was for. So you could have dramatically better speeds than the vast majority of users. That way, pages which nominally took 20 slow seconds to load over a pho…

I call it "herding cats". Definitely an uncommon skill, and the top 1% are not even good enough.
