How much time do you have. How much money do you have. What kind of resources do you already.
If you have time and have the stuff to do it I'd go homebrew and make some control boards (based around PICs) and may be some simple chassis (possible with two motors and a dolly wheel) and a board to control this (two H-bridge motor drivers and a couple of micro switches). Put some headers in so you can connect up the boards. That way if you find one or two students who get it you can explain the in more detail about whats going on. For others you could help set up simple systems.
If you don't have the set up time or resources to do this the Lego looks good. I like the idea of being able to control whats going on.
I haven't herd anyone say any recorded medium is anywhere close to seeing a live piece of music
Why else would bands tour
The biggest problem with digital stuff is making sure you have a decent DAC. Many better CD players have them. You'll need either a computer with a really decent sound card or a standalone system. If you have this I bet you cant tell difference between vinyl and a lossless compressed digital file
The thing I really like about books is its easy to buy them then use them at the airport. Or borrow someones book etc
It would be good if companies to find someway of adding value while still staying compatible to lego so the blocks still stuck together
I for one love to see Lego blocks with electronic components built in that way you could build a a house which also lit up or summit. You could have some simple stuff like capacitor resistors diodes/LEDs ans slightly more complex stuff like op-amps etc
A O O O
O O O C
This type of layout could be used for simple 2 pin components (the A is the anode and C is cathode If relevant, O are blank or just pass though signals)
more complex components could be easily accommodated using example of simple op-amp
+ V O O
- O G o/p
(where + is non inverting input - is inverting input, V is connected to 5V, G to ground and o/p is output)
Maybe a good easy way to get kids into analogue/discreet electronics without giving them some components and a bread board
You could bye my signal blocker it consists of 2 pieces of Velcro that fix it to the tv and a piece of material with the other half's of the Velcro either side allowing for removal of device the material goes over the IR sensor stopping signals getting though.

I bought a phone on Tesco and could use it straight out the box but I could only get the £5 free credit on it. On the registration I could have lied they only wanted my name address and a security question all of which are easily faked over the phone. that was 18 months ago.
Next I bought a virgin phone at Zavi (Virgin megastore) and they offered me to sign up for free texts telling me about special offers but id need to register there and then but I didn't and have had no trouble and I got the £10 half price credit with that. (6 months ago)
Although since I normally top up at cash point I think id be quite easy to track.
both phones were low end Nokias (the kind that make phone calls and send texts). but I dont think thats relevant
Nintedos already brought out 2 versions of the two screen wonder and the lite works very well. Its not like they need to boost market share over the PSP (well not here in UK I don't know about other countries).
I think its far more likely that Ninty will either unveil the successor to the DS which may well be back compatible and have these new features but also have a more powerful CPU/GPU after all it was released 4 years ago.
Id hope to see a new Nintedo hand held and if this is that I'd say look for release Q4 2009 to get in for xmas then it will have had a 5 year run which seems to be about right for console generations
I don't pirate games out of issues of mortality. Well I might download a a cracked version to test out but if I like it I will by a copy but if DRM is overly restrictive I wont touch it
Its not as if I'm against having to put a disk in every time I want to play a game I have to do that with consoles but the need to "phone home" every use seems annoying I might want to play games somewhere I have no net access. I also don't like having to jump though hoops to play a leggit game. Its sometimes easier to play games that have been cracked than ones from the official disk.
Really I want to play games without having to mess about with it first just hit install and go.
In the end the companys are shooting themselves in the foot as I just wont buy games that require overly restrictive DRM and theres alway gonna be someone who will break there DRM so cracked versions from bittorrent will work
I might be a minority in believing that game devs ought to get something back but why should I punished for what others will contiue to do
Take your point about processor ARM chip probably would be better
SSDs are on one hand more rugged as no moving parts and the main reason I'd like them on a netbook but according to this
article they can be made more power efficient and OCZ has done so.
Id want at least 3 USB ports so I could connect up USB mouse and KB and one more device. but would be happy with no BT as I never use it and it is my dream netbook
All these thing are basically physics are they not.
Just viewed in different ways. Everything you described if given enough computation can be modeled as various sub atomic particles and energy's affecting each other. It would just take a lot to model 4 horses and a person being torn apart
This seems cool almost Hitchhikers guide cool. You could download a new version of the static every time you had a spare night with an internet connection.
Would also be good if you could right entries off line and sync them later (although this would make the hole project next to impossible to manage).
off course i could just get the static version and put it on my EEE (a mem card any way) then I could write entries in vi and upload later as the readers well out my price range.
This seems to the entire reason for doing this if there is the slightest inclination that the church (catholic in this case but any religious organization) has been disproven(
If they say we are the only intelligent life in universe then empirical evidence to the contrary comes out) they might lose lots of followers.
By saying there might be theres no risk involved.
I deal with lots of truth tables and they quickly get very long a small 4 input truth table has 2^4 = 16 rows with a table this size I shade changing every time the MSB changes (every 4 rows). For larger tables I might change every time the second MSB does.
This really helps as dealing with that many 1's 0's and X's my mind would fry without some form of shading.
Does this mea flame war is gonna start or are we just gonna all try Vimacs.
Or we could admit that both text editors have there own advantages and disadvatages and use wichever we want for the task.
also try booting up windows and edit somthing in notepad for ten minuetes then try your least fav editor in the VI/emacs debate bet it seems a hole lot better
I'm finishing my first year of uni in a couple of weeks and I'm really happy that my lecturers have gone to the trouble of producing "tutorial books" which are just questions for each of my modules and short answers in the back.
We do have 2 required books that we were told to buy but I managed to get though the first term without them and one book I haven't used at all. The other one I have. Its a good electronics textbook clear and a decent level of detail. I don't think theres any reason why any of the other hundred general electronics textbooks you can buy would be significantly different. Maybe I'm lucky but friends who are at different unis and on different courses are in similar situations.
anyway my point is that this is great for people in my situation.
please somebody tell me why.. oh why must software be written for free? well as in beer because i am a poor student and could not afford all the software i use if it wasn't for FOSS. I spose id just pirate the sw i needed
It also eases my paranoia that i can examine all the source code although I don't always use this it makes me feel good to know i can (who has time to read there entire kernal code or the hole of OO.org)
I don't mind people charging for there code but I'm not gonna use it. What i don't like is said company's using there wealth to keep FOSS in a shadow. A friend recently bought a copy of M$ works, they said they couldn't get it to do what they wanted - I came round and installed OO.org and there much happier with that. These where normal people who had heard of open office but assumed because it was free wouldn't be as good as works. M$ will be OK as soon as we educate the masses that there not the only way
I download lots of music put up for free download by small bands. After downloading I listen to the tracks and make a personal choice on if the band is worth listening to. If they are I'm likely to buy a hole range of things including
-Gig tickets
-T-shirts
-physical CDs with artwork and books and all that stuff
so there are people who will pirate entire albums but i think theres lots of people like me who would never here of bands without free downloads. If I never here of a band i wont buy anything!
I'm not a vegetarian but since I've got to uni ive eaten a lot less meat - mainly cos nice meat is expensive.
If anything I'm healthier i know eat meat 1 to 3 times a fortnight and if anything i'm healthier.

you seem to be forgetting about the webcams.
M$ webcams are study, well made and worked right out the box for me (both Susie 11.0/11.1 and fedora 10)

... because a thrust will push someone away from you and send you flying forward
I mean its just basic physics youd have to get the actors tied down

Software
easy access to more software and large repositories already activated.
All for £100-£150 ($200-$300)
All these thing are basically physics are they not.

Being a pendent yes but shouldn't you use the term current instead of Amperage.
Well, it's always good to cover your ass...

using yellow dog and pirate bay
