    Official Team BEER-FI (Beer Appreciation Thread!)

    Quote: I almost bought some of that once. The packaging caught my eye and I mis-read the price tag... When he rang me up I was floored. That four pack of smallish bottles went back on the shelf. I would still love to try it someday but it's going to have to wait.

    It's a bit of nitpicking Trenchev but you might want to swap the position of the large bulk caps with the small caps so that they are closer to the input and output of the LDO (assuming that you laid the circuit out similarly to the schematic). If the schematic is different than the actual...

    epic songs

    I can't believe no one has mentioned:   Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms   Or for something a little lighter:   The Decemberists - The Mariner's Revenge Song   The Decemberists have several tracks I believe qualify as "epic", especially on The Crane Wife.

    What would you name your band?

    I thought of this one a few days ago:   Attack Ships on Fire off the Shoulder of Orion   Our fans will know us as ASFSO or probably just Attack Ships. Clearly we will play some fairly nerdy Indie Alt-Folk rock (whatever that means).

    How to build a Super computer.

    Quote: No. Parallel computing isn't about raw speed it's about doing multiple processes simultaneously. You would have 10 processors with 2 cores each running at 3 GHz, which is almost like 20 parallel processors at 3 GHz. The thing is, it takes specialized programming to take advantage...

    Official Team BEER-FI (Beer Appreciation Thread!)

    I tried Rogue's American Amber Ale and Blue Point's Spring Fling Ale tonight. Both were quite drinkable and enjoyable, but I believe that I am officially done with American ales. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the common denominator between most American ales is a musty flavor that I...

    New Forum Complaints

    It's funny. I'm annoyed by just about everything you all are mentioning. The one thing I haven't noticed though is slow-down. Load times seem pretty snappy to me so it must be at least a little platform dependent. Using Windows 7, Firefox 3.6.3.

    A question for Ferrari.   What are you using to make your traces on the underside of the board. Many of the connections seem too long and or too perfect to simply be device leads.

    Topical Shirt on Woot tonight

    They use American Apparel shirts and I actually do like the quality and feel. Sizing is a little weird but the company makes clothes for hipsters so that's not unexpected. Prints are good quality and will stay true to color if you are smart with how you wash (ie cold water, inside out, etc.).

    Bicycle Question but not Bicycle-Fi

    I've been over 40 mph on some nice downhills and it was an amazing feeling. Not for those lacking confidence though as any panic can send you to your doom.

    Bicycle Question but not Bicycle-Fi

    In the final sprint of last year's Tour de France, Mark Cavendish supposedly hit around 75 kph after a good lead in. That's over 46 mph and on a flat road. He's one of the fastest guys on the planet for those sprints. You can go way faster on a downhill.
