schestowitz                                        <p>Scathe definitely reminds me of the recent Doom games in some of what it is going for: fast paced, demon slaying, pure shooter experience. That is not to say they are similar, far from it, but I think will be a common first impression for anyone that has played them.</p>Sep 22 09:00
schestowitz                                        <p>Unfortunately, Scathe in its current form doesn’t hold baby demon’s first fireball to its recent Doom forebears.</p>Sep 22 09:00

schestowitz                                        <p>The pages of Open Circuits contain ample inspiration for both novices and grizzled veterans alike. Having been in electronics for four decades, I sometimes worry I’m becoming numb and cynical as I watch the world’s landfills brim with cheap electronics, built without care and purchased (and disposed of) with even less thought. However, as I thumb through the pages of Open Circuits, that excitement, that Sep 22 09:14
schestowitzawe which I felt as a youth when I traced my fingers along the outlines of the resistors and capacitors of my first computer returns to me. Schlaepfer and Oskay render even the most mundane artifacts, such as the ceramic disc capacitor, in splendid detail – and in ways I’ve never seen before. Prior to now, I had no intuition for the dimensions of an actual capacitor’s dielectric material. I also didn’t realize that every thick film resistor Sep 22 09:14
schestowitzbears the marks of lasers that trim it to its final value. Or just seeing the cross-section of a coaxial cable, as joined through a connector – all of a sudden, the telegrapher’s equations and the time domain reflectometry graphs take on a new and very tangible meaning to me. Ah, I think, so that’s the bump in the TDR graph at the connector interface!</p>Sep 22 09:14

This is done without a warrant, because “…courts have long granted an exception to border authorities, allowing them to search people’s devices without a Sep 22 09:45
