Unlocked with a 20$ 'toy'.. While the 'security system' "can be bought on E-Bay for $7.80 AU". The real toy here is the alleged security system.
If you expect a 7.80$ system to add any protection to your house, you're a moron and deserve to be burgled, imho.
Indeed, World of Warcraft used to (still does?) provide the updates and installs as a thin torrent client.
You could even extract the torrent file from the binary and use a different torrent client to download the update files if you wanted to.
Sounds like you're mixing up 'USB Host' and 'USB Client' terminology. If you connected your ATmega to a PC and have it act as a USB joystick, it's a USB client device, not a host device.
As far as I know, no Arduino supports acting as a USB Host in hardware. It can be emulated, or additional hardware (e.g. SparkFun's USB Host Shield) can be used, though.
Except maybe very rural areas (which are pretty hard to find in UK), there is usually a very good selection of providers. Virgin and BT being the bigger players, and a bunch of smaller companies as well.
You'll find that electrons will need a whole lot of time to 'travel from power supply to the motherboard'.
As per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity : "These speeds are on the order of millimeters per hour."
It's the pulse (wave) that electron movement creates that is close to lightspeed, not the speed of electrons themselves.
I would say Russian.
It's my 3rd language (English being my second), and it has helped me a lot when searching for some specific info on the net. There is a wealth of information on programming to be found; especially if you are interested in security.
This might be less relevant for you if you are looking for information that might be considered 'shady' (e.g. jailbreaking phones, breaking certain security features), but I've found it very helpful.
Makes me wonder: which answer was selected by default?
Were the Yes/No answers equally randomized, or was "Yes" initially selected by default, and people just clicked "Ok" to get rid of the question?
This is just a musing I have had for a while.
The medicine as a field has seen vast improvements over the years, the survivability of a person and average age have boomed.
Is this such a good thing, really? For each of us individually, yes. Hell, if not for the incubators and similar early treatments, I would not even be here. What about the bigger picture? Are we, the humanity in general, slowly messing up our gene pool? Take away the healthcare, white and pink pills, and we are more screwed than the people some 100 years ago. Allergies, heart problems, the works. The fact that medicine helps us get to the age of reproduction is, in my humble opinion, not all that helpful in the bigger picture.
Don't scald me too harshly - I admit that without advances in medicine I would not have made to my first birthday.
I say, we all go after the oldest enemy of the poor ol' copyright owners!
*queue spooky music* The Libraries!!
Someone should teach those copyright breaching, information sharing rat bastards a lesson!
Indeed, it will be really fun to g2google before every comment just so I can find out these values. Some people are still sticking with metric system, some - with Imperial.
Also, there is a limited amount of "cups in a pint" variations that can be put in a CAPTCHA system (since these have to be human generated), so it will not take too long to write an automatic solver of this problem. Therefore, while the CAPTCHAS of today are vulnerable to solutions of cheap workforce, this is actually vulnerable to automatic solving, which is way worse.
cracking your CAPTCHA: have a database of pictures of famous people, and compare the given picture with the database, or have a face recognition algorithm of some sorts. computers would actually be better at solcing the CAPTCHA this than humans. Especially since there are much less pictures of famous people than permutations of how textual CAPTCHA can be generated

Except it does actually have a taskswitcher.

False. You don't need the Java browser plugin for Minecraft, only the JRE.
Then kill it.
Meant to say 'if you are not looking for shady information'. Sorry.

Steam, you say? Here comes Valve, and a small lawsuit. There are just never enough lawsuits in this world!
