www.opencores.org go there and help these guys:) well in my opinion it would be enough if someone could get me a.18 micron 80386 cpu and all the necessary hardware of that era built with today technology. imagine simple notebooks running for days on a single battery pack:)
I'm sticking to my 2500 LPs, my kilobuck phono cartridge, and those glowing glass bottles.
Yes, i belive that is the right decision. Only now i got the chance to listen to dvd audio in comparison to LP on the same system. Vynil left dvd in dust. Now who is going to waste a lot of money for something that sounds worse than existing technology, is more expensive and somehow less usuable in terms of sound transferring? I guess only the emptyheaded consumeroids. But hey, thats 90% of the western population *grin*
I just hope i'll have someday a true "old-school" audio system... hi end turntable, class A single-ended tube preamp & amp with ~5watts of output and big horn driven speakers. Now that would be something to listen to! And definitely to look at:) But not some strange little silver plastic disk...
It's Tunguska. And scientists still didn't make their minds on what it really was. But what is really scary about all this is that explosions like that one back in 1908 are still going on. Read this (2, 3, 4, 5). (if these don't work, try somewhere else.) It is a good hour of reading, and source can be checked. I came upon this writnig after I read an article in the local tech magazine and was really impressed of what is going on. And if all the speculations in that "bright skies" article are at least 10% real, then our planet is not safe anymore to live on.
I'm sure that Tesla himself didn't want to develop all his ideas to be then used for military purposes. I belive that whatever he told to the media was just a way of making journalists bussy guessing what the h*** is he doing, while in the mean time he had enough time to actualy do it.:) I belive it is a great loss for our civilisation that some of his ideas were not completed or even developed to their full potential by now. Or were they?
I just wanted to say that all these "side" effects are completely harmless. We are dealing here with extremly high frequency current, which causes the so called skin effect. Such current does not penetrate skin, it looks like it bonces on it. On the other side, 50/60 Hz current used worldwide, doesn't have such nice properties and this is why it is able to kill people. But people are told constatnly that electricity is harmfull...
Oh yes, JohnG, please keep us informed on your work and your ideas.
Finnaly someone showed this to the public. It really is an old idea, but in the world we live now, it has some interesting effects. I was tracing the development of such toys based on Nikola Tesla's ideas for a while now and found a lot of impresive stuff. Just do a quick search on "telsa weapon" and read some of the articles that pop up. One of the most scary is located at http://www.peg.apc.org/~nexus/bskies1[2345].html (yeah thats five parts of it). Hints about causing earthquakes with similiar technology as described in the story above. Other interesting sites are Gravity gate (http://www.starwon.com.au/~rayd/index.htm), Kelly BBS (www.kellynet.com), Tesla web ring and similiar. If you like to search a lot, you may even find hints about top secret super high tech weapons developed in Russia for knocking out satelites, which are also based on one of the Tesla's ideas and are powered by also originaly Tesla's work, improved by dr. H. Moray, the so called Moray generator. Basicaly you just set up an antenna and some electronic wizardry and you have electricity. Sounds too good to be true, but there's a story on the kellynet about how Tesla made an electric car powered by such a device. Back to the EMP stuff...does anyone have some nice information about project HAARP and similiar "experiments" all around the world? I heard somewhere that US military already developed their small EMP "bomb" for knocking out "e-criminals". I would like to take a look at one of those toys:) And the next thing would be to cover my house entirely in somekind of conductive mesh, to make more or less effective faradey cage. I feel like protecting computers and other electronic equipment will be big bussiness in the next decades.
Yeah, i've seen this at some models with external floppy drive. They desperately want to talk to a floppy at a boot time IF it is connected. Simply disconnect the floppy drive at boot and it will boot from disk.
Stupid people throw their computers away because of y2k. Instead, why wont they give their boxes to me? I plan to set up a little network in my new home but im having trouble getting the 30pin simms for the 386 motherboards. Anyone got some extra of those? There is another problem: documentation. I have an I/O+IDE card for ISA bus, full of jumpers, without ideas of what each of them does. Some might think of asking manufacturer if they _maybe_ got some spare manual for their 9 years old product, but what if the product is some noname stuff from Taiwan?:) And dont tell me that 286 is not y2k compliant. Just flip the clock back if you want to secure yourself or forward to see what happens. When I ran my dusty 286 after some 12 years of sitting in the closet i found out that it is perfectly y2k compatibile. The clock is still at 1 1 1980 after about three months of running:) Obviously the cmos battery is empty. But there is a minor inconvenience: you have to re/set "bios" settings almost every time you boot. To completely wake up this interesting old toy, I had to lowlevel format the 5 1/4" harddisk to remember it of its function. I also had to replace the fan in the power supply and add one to the cpu to stop constant lockups because of overheating. Now it runs dos3.3 and serves as a terminal to my server, which is p200. Im waiting for the ELKS team to make their product just a bit more useable. There is also a lack of unix programs which will run on a 286 and lower. Any archive anywhere? And... how would it be to collect a few thousand of thrown-away 386 boxes and put them together to a cluster just to show that these old pals do not deserve silence yet?
Some people have sugested distributing swap partitions across disk drives. Now imagine one of these drives fail. It might look like pulling out a SIMM while the machine is running. I assume the system would collapse in this case. Has anyone tried such a scenario? I'm building a small server here and all i want is reliability not speed. So how would it look like having a swap file on a raid5 partition?

See this? It was kinda fresh back then. But now it is already old news.
I see this kind of problems all the time. Does it matter which of the

When will be such toys available with bi-directional communication via satelite for reasonable price?
