Migrated electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/12514/… to unix.stackexchange.com Seems like the right place for it...

@tyblu It's 10am here

@NickT I was thinking it might be good to get some concensus "are people happy with the proposed design", to help the discussion converge on something. Jin said he wants to make the changes this Thursday.

So, we have at least one "no". I say we put it to a vote.

I've just received an email from our benevolent StackExchange overlords asking moderators to take a look at the propsed site design. There's been some discussion on meta. Are we happy with the proposed design or do we want something else? I could raise this as a question on meta for a vote with a time limit?

@Kortuk I clicked "flag for moderator" on your comment to electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/9841/… (I didn't want to edit it, but didn't think "shit" was needed). For some reason, it's now deleted. Sorry, that wasn't my intention.

@reemrevnivek is a pain to spell right. But, I don't think it's "unprofessional". It's just a nickname like any other. Using your real name has the disadvantage of making you very searchable by name.

sensor?

(sounds like a good question for the site though)

@Dean I haven't a clue, I just remember seeing an FSR on adafruit

adafruit.com/…

Good work.

area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/26607/… I'd say that that we cover this pretty well?

Interesting, we've seen several authoritative sources come and answer questions lately. @Dean Camera on LUFA and Gregory Nutt on NuttX. A good sign.

Nearly at 10K...

@tyblu Re: EZ430 try asking on 43oh.com/forum

Working - mostly banging my head against a broken 8051 compiler.

Greetings

8051 is weird - I'd pick a flat memory space any day

Ok, I'll write up an answer.

It really depends on the OS...

Yeah, I saw. Though, Matt did add labels...

I've done lots of embedded linux stuff and a fair bit of bare-metal work.

Hell - no :)

Yeah, but it pays the bills.

Lovely, just fixed a long standing ethernet driver bug, things are good.

I haven't seen any of the others

There's the core of a decent question in there.

@Kortuk Yeah, I agree. I decided to improve the question rather than vote to close.

FWIW, you know that everything said here is searchable with google...

Thanks.

Yes, but could you add a comment first explaining why. He deserves an explanation.

@Kortuk Do you think "Where can I buy" or "Cheap source of" questions should always be disallowed? The answer is always going to be localized

Meh, I've closed it anyway.

The response to that BeagleBoard question isn't really an ad - it answers the question. But, that's probably a good reason to disallow the question. I'd like to vote, but would like a non-moderator vote...

@OEngenheiro I closed that question as it was a bit contrived. I had an answer so wrote a question to fit it.

@Kortuk (re dBm question) Yes, I did prefer his answer, it got to the root of my misunderstanding

@Kortuk No problem. I don't normally edit other people's posts, but it was obviously a typo

None of the professional EEs I know use the web/social/media/E&R/etc very much. I think we're always going to get more amateur questions.

@Kellenjb I see your point about ownership - but, surely the answer would be for everyone else to ask more questions too :-)

@Kortuk I think we should just keep closing/merging the duplicates with a comment saying "Thomas Please check for duplicates". I don't want to discourage people from asking questions...

@pingswept I was going to mention that too

Done.

I'm not bothered enough to remove it, mind if I dismiss the flag?

What do we think about electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/6050/… copyrighted material? (it's behind a login) homework question?
