09.Best of M.W.C. - A 200G.B. microS.D. card

No, there is no slot in the new Galaxy S6 for a microSD, but if there was, you could slam this ridiculously large 200GB one from Sandisk in there. Would you need to? God no. 200GB? What is wrong with you? But hey if you're a hoarder, go nuts I guess.

Stop for a second and take a look at the fingernail on your baby finger. That's roughly the…Read more

MicroEmacs

There are actually several ErsatzEmacs editors known under a common name MicroEmacs, or uemacs (for the similarity of u and the greek μ). They originated all from a common ancestor, written somewhen around 1985 by Dave Conroy. George Jones ported the sources to the Amiga and posted them to the USENET group comp.sources.amiga. Steve Wilhite also worked on the code prior to it’s posting. Daniel Lawrence later greatly modified and maintained the source. (See EditorsUsedByOthers and EmacsImplementations.)

It came to a certain fame after Linus Torvalds was known to use a particular version of it around the time it was the only editor he had on Linux.

Daniel Lawrence’s original Microemacs is available as source code and binaries for various systems: Google:uemacs.

It’s available in versions 3.12 and 4.0. I personally never got any of these to work.






Although the source is available, Lawrence’s Microemacs is not free software, because its license prohibits commercial use. He is known to be an radical GPL hater, and refused to make his uemacs free software on several occasions, when he was asked.

FreeBSD users have Microemacs available in ports. /usr/ports/editors/uemacs/ contains Microemacs 4.00, which works just fine. Some standard Emacs keybindings, like ‘C-x C-f’, are present, but many others are not. ‘M-x describe-key’ works, for instance, except you don’t press RET before the key you want described. The help file seems to be missing.

Researchers make graphene magnetic, clearing the way for faster everything

Graphene has many fantastic properties that could change the course of human civilization. It’s chemically stable, highly conductive, and incredibly strong. One thing it is not, however, is magnetic. This is one of the issues cited by the likes of IBM, which has tried to dampen expectations for a future of super-efficient microprocessors built on graphene. That might not be a problem much longer, though. Scientists from the University of California, Riverside have successfully created graphene that has magnetic properties.






To make this happen, the team started with a sheet of regular (but still awesome) non-magnetic graphene. The graphene was placed on a layer of magnetic yttrium iron garnet, which actually transferred its magnetic properties to the graphene without disrupting its structure or other properties. Most magnetic substances interfere with graphene’s ability to conduct electricity, but yttrium iron garnet is also an electric insulator. That meant it was unlikely to negatively affect the graphene’s electron transport properties.
