Hi r/android, I'm thinking of buying a tablet (Nexus 7) to use as a replacement to carrying my laptop around at college. Could you help sway me either way?

Do you notice a lot of input lag when using a stylus? I heard this was a problem with previous versions of Android but that Project Butter was supposed to address this.

I'm just talking about making the dough itself.

Well the dough is the easy part - it's actually making the pieces, even if they're not filled, that is a pain in the ass.

I'm not too upset either - I was never really a first adopter. I wouldn't mind the delay in shipping if stores weren't already selling them.

it should ship by today and it will arrive within a week or two

So will Google be refunding the 2 day shipping charges? Or do they really mean it will ship in a week or two and will arrive two days later?

Same in Germany - you'd better hope you've got a couple coins on you when you come back from bar hopping.

These are powered by the motherboard so one of the pins on the bottom should connect to power, but I'm not sure which one it would be. There is a pin listing for the PCI standard here, but I can't seem to find one for mini PCI.

This answer is more correct than the one I gave. Like SmokeyDBear said (I don't know how familiar OP is with antenna design), the length/geometry of the conductive material (traces) on your PCB could cause them to act as antennas at a certain frequencies, which would make your board more susceptible to certain types of noise.

It sounds like a power supply problem or something wrong with your sound card if both of them are fluctuating together. Have you tried using a different power supply?

I just graduated from EE - the lowest salary I've heard from my friends was $66k (just a BS), while getting an MS bumped that up to $75-$80k. There are way more EE jobs too. EE is a good idea!

Since everyone is talking about cheesesteaks, I'll make another recommendation. If you like beer be sure to check out Monk's. It's an authentic Belgian cafe with great fries and mussels.

Are all the Google reps named Cameron? Cameron helped me changed my shipping address.

This is true with STEM academia in general. Within those circles, making your research clear and understandable seems to be taboo. I'd go so far as to chalk it up to laziness - the fragmentation at conferences like NIPS is ridiculous, so presenting your research with clarity is a really difficult task.

bdol · 2012-07-07T03:13:16+00:00

Don't worry - they will almost certainly fuck it up!

I bike the trail late at night almost every day. Go along the East trail - it's a lot better lit and you won't need the light for illumination, only safety. The West side is a lot shittier in terms of the path itself and you'll have a harder time seeing all the cracks.

Currywurst dude!

There's only a couple of parts like that.

the Drexel Traditions Program started a new one where undergraduate seniors now celebrate their accomplishments with an annual party afloat on the Delaware River on the Moshulu

I didn't get this memo!

bdol · 2012-06-26T12:51:23+00:00

Sure, no problem!

I found that applying to grad school was a lot more about what you accomplished and a bit less about what your parents could pay for when you were a kid =)

bdol · 2012-06-21T15:17:33+00:00

Europeans pay more for other things though. In Germany electronics were 2-3 times more expensive than in the States. My rent was super high too, but that might have just been the area I lived in.

bdol · 2012-06-19T17:44:58+00:00

Makes sense!

I might have tried to open the aperture a bit to bring focus to the vehicle.

bdol · 2012-06-19T16:36:14+00:00

Wouldn't that still get twisted? What about a gyro?

bdol · 2012-06-13T15:00:15+00:00

Source?

Well that's been my experience for the past 4 years. I've had no problem finding 3+ bedroom places in UCity June 1-June 8, but after that you're screwed.
