not sure if you have ever "gutted" a laptop, but it doesn't interpret VGA cables to display the image. you MAY be able to rig up a DVI input but then you would have to boot the machines with a working DVI port to make it active (atleast on Radeon).
Also the Keyboard controllers are almost allways integrated to the mainboard of the machine being scavanged... damn near impossible to make work.
The closest I could suggest (in all reality) is mounting a small keyboard to the front of a LCD panel, with some hinges or something. remove the mounting bracket if it's too big, then put the whole deal into a suitcase (those cool Jamesbond type metal ones).
For power, plug it in or figure out the power board to get it to run off a battery (probably too difficult.)
you're correct. the whole internet should be taken down and replaced with tsunami news and discussion and donation soliciting for the next month at least.
no thanks, my cable already has.
On a serious note (for the previous AC), maybee some of us would like the distraction? I'm poor, bad back, and can't help monitarily or physically. I don't need the guilt trip. heck I can't even give blood due to mono from younger years.
maybee I should just fuck it all and go jump off something... I seem to be making your life so damn miserable by trying to get some ram from a harmless fucking sig.
I've not had a good day/week/year and your pathetic holier-than-thou whining about a sig is getting old.
so do yourself a favor and don't click on it... I'm poor and just had to sell half my ram to eat.
Keep anything else to yourself. Starving really sucks. so does 512 meg of ram. I took care of my food issue, so now I'll work on my ram issue in a passive, non spam e-mailing method.
For an offline game, like single-player HL2, the CD Key will still work in 5 or 10 or 100 years.
no actually it won't. in 10 years, we may all be saying "valve who?". not to mention the computer that the Cd key is authenticated against will be missing.
to be honest I'd be suprised though if there isn't a "patch" *cough* 'crack' out before it's even officially released.
wow, slashdot is getting really good with up-to-date info... I spent 2 nights ago wathcing the display cover the sky here in Idaho... last time I checked that too was in the Northern hemisphere.
on a more technical note, austrailia isn't alone in all this crap. As far south as Idaho we can see aurora at the KP index of 9... as of this post, it's at 10.
thank you, that makes alot more sense than my drivel:)
atleast we now have a reason for it to be graphite and not diamond.
now that I have the attention of somone who knows chemical and intermelecular bonds, with this new configuration (4 interconnects) does this create yet another material, due of it's own properties and description? also, what would the physical properties of this material be?
and if this new... uh... material is just graphite, can you send me some graphite bundles from the jewlery shop? it has as much a right being called planiar diamond as graphite.
but yes, the material was known before. the idea of fullerenes and this material must have been on somones wish list.

Quite possibly, I had never heard of Eliza until I read TFA.
And how does that make you feel?
odd, all mine wants to do is drive in tight circles to the left. makes me want to barf. can't even control the steering with the appointed keys.
hmm... oh well
Does your phone operate at frequencies from 100 megahertz to 2.4 gigahertz" ?
Yes, 1.9Ghz actually

I enjoy the distraction personally.
It's just that he hacked you, not his light setup
In Solviet Russia, the web site HACKS YOU!
(Sorry I had to...didn't see it yet)
please enlighten me. how should my sig read?

I've not had a good day/week/year and your pathetic holier-than-thou whining about a sig is getting old.

not to be crude, but bite me.

somehow doubt he'll get to the point of children... anyone who has this much time is unlikely to get laid.
I doubt anyone who has "House of yes" posters as decoration is activly getting any.
requirement... heck I thought it was a feature!
...and it's only a matter of time before Apple jumps on this and we get...The all new iPod Walker, as promoted by Stephen Hawking
Cant wait for it's new Text-to-speech E-book reader.
well you could allways start playin blues.
it may not be, but how about this?
My friend has one of these, only he hates poking himself with the little pointy bit.
It would be trivial to solder a tap to the data leads of the CMOS or across any data recording device/chip. I think a 1 farad filter should do nicely.
a button from radio shack (or thinkgeek even) with the above capactior would prove quite fatal to the data.
look all we have to do is go to the electronics section and open up the panel... heck its only a mirror.
(note: if you don't get it, don't mod it)
my bad, thought it was referring to the HL2 authentication method... I understand fully the cd-key authentication found on HL1

Let's post it to Slashdot with a link.
Or even Double it or Triple it!
I'm having it right now
as the true slashdotter, hs right had is still free.
must have been late when I read the article... I thought I read that it had 4 bonds... maybee thats why i'm so confused
thank you, that makes alot more sense than my drivel :)
atleast we now have a reason for it to be graphite and not diamond.
now that I have the attention of somone who knows chemical and intermelecular bonds, with this new configuration (4 interconnects) does this create yet another material, due of it's own properties and description? also, what would the physical properties of this material be?
just trying to clear my ignorance.
Thanks!
but it's not really a new compound
Technically it's not a "compound" at all.
and if this new... uh... material is just graphite, can you send me some graphite bundles from the jewlery shop? it has as much a right being called planiar diamond as graphite.
but yes, the material was known before. the idea of fullerenes and this material must have been on somones wish list.
Or for that matter, a signal from your neighbors tv remote causing you to change the subject all the sudden.
No way, I've been using wet-wires for *CLICK* did you see the last debate, it was *CLICK* oh damn, I've soiled myself again.
