I'm looking to buy a single microcontroller, a Philips P89C51 to be specific, but all the vendors I can find on their site are currently either out of stock, or don't sell them individually. Any ideas on where I can look? Thanks.

IR lens, eh? I didn't think of that. Do you have any specific lens (or maybe just a filter?) in mind?

I'd think an incandescent IR bulb would be brighter than an LED bay, but I'm not 100% sure. Also, if anyone knows where I can find a site that sells individual bulbs, that would be nice.

I'm getting my hands on a nice sony camcorder with IR ability. The built-in illuminator gives a range of about 10ft, the $70 illuminator sony sells gives a range of about 100ft. Any decent illuminator I saw out there on the web costs much over $100, which is a bit rich for my blood (having just...

I found this wallpaper from who-knows-where a while back, and I was wondering, is it a render, a photo, or a composite of the two? Note the really sharp, straight lines where the sky meets the roof. Then again, note the rock-wall on the left.

Computer engineering focuses on logic network design...making logic-based eletrical systems, in other words, such as processesors, any sort of microchip, microcontrollers, and so on. Electrical engineering is a much broader subject...you could focus on power systems (generating and distributing...

Hitman was a fps, where you were an assassin. The game, in my opinion, was really good, although it had some pretty strong flaws that probably dissapointed a lot of people. The missions were very open-ended, you were given a target and could do what ever you liked (snipe from a roof, disguise...

Lucy looks pretty upset that God trapped her in that box. :D

Of course, realize that neither of those sites are going to do it very well. You'll probably be able to get your ideas across (assuming they're simple) but realize people in japan are going to be laughing at you. Babelfish has problems with english<->german translations, and german is the...

:Q Um...wow. Uh... Yeah. That's it. Jesus was a KC native ;) Seriously though, I doubt Kanas city itself is relevent, the idea there is that God abandonded the church (and the surrounding town) because of their lack of kindness. (Jesus was really big on helping the poor and desperate.) The bum...

Excuse me, but in episode 384F7, itchy plays scratchy's ribs like a xylaphone...he hits the same rib twice in a row, producing two distinct tones. Are we to believe this is some sort of magic xylaphone? (I'm paraphrasing here, gimme a break. I haven't seen that episode for at least a year.)

I like that one...maybe if I just keep saying it I can meet the time requirement? This is for college, by the way.

Anyone? Anyone at all?

I'm taking a speech class this semester and our first real speech is the ambigious command "tell the class a story". I was wondering if anyone knows some good stories out there...I was hoping for something funny. They don't have to be long, only about 3-5 minutes. Sadly, since it's a class, the...

Let me get this straight...people are trying to convince you that "math" is wrong? As in, it dosen't work? The whole concept? That's even worse than the flat-earth people.
