I dunno exactly how you'd get the inputs built - but this free GPL package gives you all the features of a full lab scope.. and that right there is hella cool.

This is a good article to send to the noobs or net nannies on your list.

Spammers attempt to reach users by generating hundreds of webpages and sending out a flood of spam emails, sometimes even buying advertisements on reputable websites. Their sites also target other popular Internet companies. They may include family photos pilfered from another site or a picture of a check they supposedly received. Spammers use a wide range of techniques that try to slip past automatic filters to get to you.

Scroll down to the middle part and copy / paste.

In general, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Here are some pointers on what to look out for:

* Before you fill out a form or give someone a credit card, do a web search to see what other people are saying about the company and its practices.

* Be wary of companies that ask for upfront charges for services that Google actually offers for free. Check out our business solutions page before writing a check.

Nissan believes it finally has the breakthrough battery technology that will bring electric cars into the mainstream.

The automaker's new lithium-ion battery, jointly developed by Nissan and Japan's NEC Corp., will expand the range of the purely electric car to more than 100 miles between charges, while decreasing the battery's size and weight, said Mark Perry, director of product planning for Nissan North America, which is based in Franklin.

While 100 miles isn't nearly as far as automakers had hoped for with fresh advances in battery design, it's a vast improvement over the 40-mile range of earlier electric vehicles. Those earlier versions used lead-acid or nickel-metal-hydride battery packs, such as those now found in vehicles like the Toyota Prius gasoline-electric hybrid.

Well, ok it's not a miracle or anything - but it is a step in the right direction for electrics ... Still, the car will never reach the mainstream until it's as easy or easier than gas.

This is a really great looking game - full of bombs shooting and storming beaches .. um, did I mention bazookas and stuff?

Eh, don't let that AT&T sales pitch fool you - this real world survey proves Verizon has the goods...

Verizon came in first place with an average download speed of 1,940 Kbps, as reported by 856 participants. T-Mobile’s average rate was 1,793 Kbps with 1,189 reported T-Mobile users. Third was Sprint with 1,598 Kbps, based on data from 1,570 users. In dead last was AT&T with an average of 901 Kbps — but an overwhelmingly large user sample of 8,153 test takers.

Yep - AT&T is dead last ....
