Nope - I simply joined what I saw as a dog pile in its infancy.

Precisely!
...precisely what, I am not sure?

Well, thank God you've cleared that up for us. It was starting to stress me out.

That's the problem: you can ban 'em, but they can open accounts under new names.

England reached the final of the World Twenty20 (cricket) this afternoon with a convincing victory over New Zealand, the favourites to win the tournament. Much joy!

If you're interested we run a Fantasy League in GIT. The next tournament is the IPL.

It actually was an unexpected victory, for me. As the black caps were so far unbeatable in it's group. And they were confident enough.
But yeah, England won eventually. So, a giant congo to the English mates here

Let's imagine you could buy a small electrical motor for DIY projects - the kind that are big enough to drive kids car toys in which they can sit or to open your garage door.
It comes with an integrated microcontroller, a predefinite C API, can be programmed using a gnu compiler, and has an easy to use "flash" tool. It has electronics protection function integrated so that it does not burn, detects blocking, etc... It can communicate via a communication bus or Ethernet with other devices if required. You can screw something on the output shaft.
Well, you get the idea, it is in the same spirit as the RaspberryPi or the Arduino are for electronics DIY.
Is this a good idea ? How much would you pay for something like that ?

I used to experiment with hobby robotics and that sounds to me like a great product! I would definitely consider such a thing.
Maybe US$199 would be a good price.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

The problem is, once you start selling it, it will take a couple of months and you'll see an equivalent made in China for half the price including shipping worldwide..

But the Chinese reverse engineer everything and ALWAYS get something wrong in the design. Even their reverse engineered Office software is crap. It is truly amazing that they are working on space travel and have "cutting edge" jet fighters. hmm. interesting.

Kingsoft/WPS office are in no was reverse engineered. The earliest versions were written by hand in assembly language.

What does that have to do with the Chinese? Are these Chinese based products?

There is a hierarchy of Chinese electronics manufacturers, from dirt-floored huts turning out dangerous and nonfunctional crap up to Foxconn's city-sized factories able to turn out iPods, and of course the defense contractors building fighter jets and moon rockets. Makers try to bootstrap their way up the hierarchy of capability and quality. The competitive pressure must be immense at the bottom. It's my suspicion that Chinese consumers have developed ways to tell who is who and are better able to avoid the junk than we are.

I once bought an electrical component from China. Good price and just what I needed. The only problem is that it did not work as advertised. It was a remote control switch that was supposed to have a range of 100 meters but it's actual range was barely 10 cm.
I will never ever buy stuff online from China ever again.
