Also dont forget a capacitor of any type also has a reactance. I always remember it as ELI THE ICE MAN, or ICE means I C E or Current leads, voltage lags. - mbates14

camel case sucks with acronyms… …spaces between words are visually more pleasant than jamming everything together. Absolutely worth whatever perceived pain of typing an underscore there is. - Mark Canlas
[on PHP 6] The real decision is not whether to have a version 5.4 or not, it is all about solving the Unicode problem. The current effort has obviously stalled. We need to figure out how to get development back on track in a way that people can get on board. We knew the Unicode effort was hugely ambitious the way we approached it… …The main focus here needs to be to get everyone working in the same branch. - Rasmus
Ever since gold was removed as the backing of our currency, your personal labor and property have taken gold’s place as collateral for our national debt. Every time the Federal Reserve Bank creates new money, it is a claim against your labor and property. It’s not a coincident that the IRS was created at the same time as the FRB. It is their agency to collect your payments against your indebtedness. Without a sound monetary system, we become the chattel for our national debt (9 trillion dollars and counting). This represents about $30,000 for every man, women and child in our country. That’s $120,000 worth of debt placed directly on the shoulders of a family of 4. We have become property guaranteeing payment to the world bankers and other nations accepting our currency. - Harry P

Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet. They’re not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency. The new version would allow the president to “declare a cybersecurity emergency” relating to “non-governmental” computer networks and do what’s necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for “cybersecurity professionals,” and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license. - Declan McCullagh
I couldn’t fathom its library management, which I think it has; maybe it doesn’t, and that’s why I couldn’t figure it out. - Joe Casadonte
The trigger for star formation is thought to be either the shock from a nearby supernova or compression from collisions with a nearby galaxy. Since galaxies are composed of stars, and since supernovae are exploded stars, both of these hypotheses require pre-existing stars to make stars. If this is so, then how did the first stars ever form? - Brian Thomas

Or they may be brainwashed, not uncommon, I had a classmate (computer Engineering!!) that told me last week he didn’t try linux ‘cos it wasn’t user-friendly… I asked him if he ever had tried, maybe Ubuntu or anything gnome… No, he’d never tried it. It’s a sad but true example, some people are taught to be mouse engineers and all they see is the winlogo. Alas… - Nuno Magalhães
While this article is necessary to point out the KJV errors, it should be noted that the errors, omissions and additions made by the RSV, NIV, and other modern translations are much, much worse! - Richard Nickels
I need a website. The information on the website is top secret, so I need it to only be up during business hours, as to avoid hackers and competition from getting hold of the information. I’d also prefer we hosted it on a Mac. - clientsfromhell
Tell your designer he can’t leave until tomorrow morning, I may want to change some of the wording on the website. I dont want him doing it from home, as someone might hack him and see what I’m planning… - clientsfromhell
Microsoft markets its browser as the Internet itself. It’s no wonder its been so hard for developers to explain the situation to their site visitors. We, the web community, have politely asked web surfers to upgrade from IE6. We’ve tried. Everyone has tried. So now it’s time to trick them into upgrading. That’s right, trick IE6 users into moving on. Tricking users is a big taboo, but if we’re talking about tricking users into upgrading from IE6 to a newer browser, we feel that it’s like tricking them into receiving free money. - Nick Pettit
Anything you do with your gear is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. This is a stupid idea that will probably ruin your radio, set your house on fire, bring the FCC to your door, ruin your crops, and send famine and pestilence across the land. - Rob Flickenger

Google knows what you search (Google search), what you read (iGoogle, Google Reader), what people visit a site (Google Analytics), what sites you visit (Google toolbar, lifetime Google cookies, DoubleClick tracking cookies) etc. but there still are some unknowns, from time to time. With a Google browser you can’t hide anything anymore. - Tadeusz Szewczyk
