I'd really love to see a FancyCrap->HTML converted that would strip information off of a page and put it in a form that netscape 3 could read without losing anything important
Step 2: install it on a good-quality TabletPC (like a Toshiba)
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
you're kidding right? I've yet to see a good tablet PC. And yes, I know two people with brand new toshibas. Both have horrible problems with them and I had to help one fix his. (both are computer engineering profs)
I've used the BOB 2 and it's user friendly and easy to set up, It has a simple interface language to do the overlay code, which is sent over a serial connection. The video is just passed through. The BOB 2 didn't allow colour in overlay mode, but some of the new models probably do. RS-232 is simple enough that you could build yourself an interface pretty easily, or you could run it through a computer or palm (they have a way to drive a serial connection i'd hope)
it's a PPC embeded processor. the 555 is a really common one, and the 565 is it's big brother. I think it's around 40 or 60 MHz and it's quite easy to program for. Since you'll need communication and writing a stack from scratch is annoying (not that hard, especially for UDP, but definitely annoying), you could run RTLinux or something on it and just process the cam information, encapsulate it into UDP packets and then send it out over a wireless network. It's pretty easy to get boards with an onboard ethernet controller, so then you can run that to a wireless tranceiver in the tail.
The downside of this method is that it's pricy, I think 565 devel boards are a few hundred dollars.
A lot of it depends on how much time you have. You could save money by doing all custom hardware, but it would cost you in time. I don't know what ARMS go for, but I think they are cheaper than PPC; you could probably build a custom board to talk directly to the wireless chip. What are you weight/time/money restrictions?
I'm pissed off at one particular person, not everyone from his country. I'd i'd slept in the past 24 hours I'd be able to better articulate myself. I'm out of this shithole in a couple years anyways, who cares if you create if you can't live?
I really love how china's "communism" involves every horrible part of capitalism. I think that fascism is a much more accurate word for that fucked up government.
But how many of them can actually build something? I'm in engineering school now, and somewhere around the 300s and 400s there is a new schism where a group of historically good students still do well on the exams, but they finally find out that they can't design worth shit. I haven't really slept in about a week because I have one of these people in my group; grew up in taiwan, wonderful grades, but he can't actually apply it when he hasn't been told exactly how to do it. (mostly just ranting, see comment about lack of sleep)
rehabilitation doesn't exist in US prisons and I never said it was society's fault, jsut that society can do something to help wtih the problem. There are many things that it really doesn't matter who's fault it is, just who can help.
And you don't think that a hugely unpopular war, social upheavel, coplete loss of faith in te government, racial tension and rioting and the like _maybe_ had something to do with it? We have a very dangerous country without many good stats attatched to it, so i'm not sure where you get the "working" part. and if he needs the cash to buy and 8ball, perhaps if we fixed our drug policy it might not be as much of a problem. maybe if we try to pick means that might actually work, we might reduce crime instead of just praying the smack stays in style. (drug use is largely responsible for the current lull in violent crime. heroin addicts cause much less crime than crack/ cocaine addicts)
I don't look at it is the criminal being sick or wrong, i look at it as a paraparticipative system. different bullshit, different day
you make it sound as though crime is a mere preference. Perhaps if we taught people while in jail so that they could make more than 6$/hr when they got out it would be less appealing to hold up a liquor store. Most of the people in jail aren't bad people. Most of the people in jail don't particularly want to be criminals, it's just that that is what they know how to do and they think that it's the best they have.
a "hard kick in the ass" won't get you jack shit, and please cite some thing for "only guarantees more problems later on" If you want a counter, check out the this american life (www.thislife.org) show on special treatment.
I think a great idea to reduce crime would be a manual labour pool. The idea would be that there would be a gov run non profit type work arrangement where you could show up for a day and do unskilled manual labour at 6/hr. If you suck or don't work, you get kicked out, if it happens a lot you get blacklisted, but generally, you show up, you work, they hand you cash. I know lots of people who either have small (well, compared to say crack) drug problems or are just fucking poor who would love this. It wouldn't matter that they had tattoos or piercings or dropped out of HS, they could go, work their arse off and then buy some drugs and food and kick back in the evening. Even if the work weren't completely useful (as in worth less than 6/hr), or something that needn't be done right then (hauling away refuse from abandoned building in detroit), there is useful work that could be done and the societal impact would be rather good. Imagine if detroit could put all of it's crackheads to work? (oh, a side hint, if you ever want your lawn __really__ clean, offer to pay a crack head $20 if they get it perfect and they will hunt around for _everything_)
we treat our prisoners poorly compared to the rest of the developed world for one. We treat our poor even worse, but they don't seem to be turning themselves in in record numbers.
Compared to the average person, we do make sense. I find this distrubing. Extremely disturbing. I wouldn't let J. Q/.er take care of my fish, and stupieder people control nuclear weapons (thanks soviets)
Every single liberation movement anywhere killed civilians though. The US revolution involved the murder of _many_ british sympathizers. In the civil war, both sides committed atrocites in the states also. Are you to label Washington a terrorist? Yes, you could expand the definition of terrorist, but we are unwillling to do that. "terrorist american forces shoot 13 year old in fallujah", or even better "terrorist american forces attack terrorist iraqi forces with banned chemical weapons". (tear gas is banned under intl. law)
Word's definitions are not static nor defined by their dictionary meaning. How we as the users use words is what they really mean. We attatch a meaning of what we want to say every time we write them. whether one thinks about it specifiacally or not, there is a lot of baggage on the world terrorist to mean enemy and wacko fringe.
Things like the Israeli/Palistinian conflict show this particularly well. Yes, the palistinians use violence, yes they kill civilians, but are they a fringe group? particularly a fringe group of outsiders? The palistinians would be _much_ better characterised as either part of a civil war, or fighters against an occupation, and this is _independent of the morality of their tactics_. I'm just contending thaat they are defending their home, and that to use the word terrorist indescriminately in that case is to attatch a lot of baggage that does not beleong. Either that, or we should at least use the word for both sides, as it's not as if israel cares about killing civilians, they do it enough.
As a country, the US is the only country to actually have used nuclear weapons, and we chose to use them in populated city centers. We used them to instill fear and try to cause policy change. _that_ is closer to the definition of terrorism than almost anything else I can think of. And this have nothing to say that the US shouldn't have dropped it, but merely that it was a terrorist act. And if you feel quick to deny it, than think about the baggage attatched to the word that is causing that reaction! The counter that people sually use is that it's different because we were at war, but I contend that even Al Quaeda has declared war on the US, and I feel that that lends them ZERO credibility for their attacks.
War is inherantly evil and wrong, and to split some people off as terrorists and others as the good side is a sham. Both sides kill civilians and do horrible things. It is the nature of war, ad the only way to stop atrocities is to stop war. I have yet to find a conflict where both sides acted with honour. When there are people trying to kill each other, it's a whole lot harder to stop back and think "is it really a good idea to shoot this guy, he looks unarmed, but some of them are faking". Especially since we teach soldiers to keep not trust anything to do with the 'enemy' because that's how they can stay alive! If you start using the word terrorist to describe the american military, then i'd have no real problem with you personally using it, but when one splits off the word for certain groups and attatches moral baggage, I think taht it is full of shit.

Nope, that's middle age, when you get old you'll be a stuffy little person who refused to acknowledge that the world has moved since 1980 (-:

I think what you want is the BOB

sure, stick on a 565 to process the video and stick it onto a wireles linkup

You should listen to this week's A Prarie Home Companion. It has a segment towards that end that is very fitting to your comment.

it already happens. Those "retirement homes" are dens of filth and deprevity. AIDS rates among seniors have also been steadily rising.
we treat our prisoners poorly compared to the rest of the developed world for one. We treat our poor even worse, but they don't seem to be turning themselves in in record numbers.
prisons suck. US prisons are the worst in the "civilised" world. Seems to help our crime a lot, eh? Maybe rehabilitation would be better?
