Looks really great for building Mini BattleBots. The problem with most of you is that you cannot imagine the hackability of this new set. Legos totally suck, they fall apart. Build it with erector and it will stay together. Linux and erector, what a beautiful team.
And what if I just to happen to change my httpd.conf to say use php to process.asp extensions? With all of the asp to php conversions going on right now that is a great way to avoid goofing up outside linked sources.
Yes and that is why my bot runs 4000 lines of custom code. If it is just a rc car try and build one. I will bet you get humbled rather quickly. Controlling 100s of amps with a pic microcontroller requires a good bit of knowledge my friend. To be a successful builder requires many skills machinist, welder, electronics, programming, mechanical design.
Can they take a hit from a Killsaw? Ok people it is time to grow up and build something a little more destructive. Lego's are for kids, real bots are welded together.
So tell me mr. genius why are lock picks not illegal? I thought so, you have no answer, that is because you have to be caught in the actual theft and this is no different. He is in jail for producing lock picks not for using them.
If you wish to stop school shootings you do not do it by infringing my personal rights. The government is using sick examples for a reason to infringe everyones rights.
But I am not about to willingly give up my personal protection rights just because someone wants to search for pedophiles. Yes they are a sorry group but dont infringe my rights in the process. That is the problem with america today, we do not need that type of government intervention.
First off I am all for just throwing the damn book at anyone selling and or trading warez and MP3 files.
No one can in any way justify theft. I would also like for everyone to turn in any fool using a pirated copy of anything, especially Windoze. If you wish to run big brother software then YOU HAVE TO PAY!!!
If you lay with the devil, YOU MUST PAY!! Or Just Run Linux and Be Happy;)
And being a hardware hacker myself I would also insist that you are dead wrong and it is possible. It may be a bogus story but your reasoning is dead wrong.
It really has nothing to do with buying distros. MS CALS and enerprise licensing is where the real money is spent. Take for instance we just built a web application that used MS SQL. We then found out that it would cost us a enterprise SQL license at 50 K just because a web application was hooked to it. We converted the application to use Postgres in a few hours and saved the 50K. Nuff Said!
I have desktop edition that we paid for at work and it flat out rocks. In most cases I can copy over straight delphi code and compile with little or no problem. The compiler is also blinding fast, frankly it kicks gcc's ass up one side and down the other. GUI takes minutes not months to build and the produced executable is as fast as any C++ application.
I have not seen it yet as I own desktop edition but only a few things are needed anyhow.
1. IDE
2. Compiler
3. Debugger
4. Ability to register component
If just these 4 things are intact there is nothing that cannot be easily built with it. You do not get the apache modules, so what it does not stop anyone from making a free version of the apache interfaces. What mysql missing so what just go grab free pascals version and compile.
Sort of like the server side cursor locking up at about 30k records. This could not possibly be a MS SQL server bug! . MS SQL server is no better than a souped up version of Access. I just replaced two of them with Postgres and have not had a problem since. 50K for a MS License, Ha I think not.....
If these guys are for real how come I am unable to find them on google or the search engines. I would think people with such brain would post a message from time to time in the news groups but guess what? Nothing.... You can search on almost any internet user and at least get one or two hits but noting on these guys... I strongly suspect foul play is in the air....

The court just gave MS the go ahead to suck every last bit of money from every customer they have. We all know that they are going to take full advantage to tie everything they can to the OS. I am afraid it is to late and the hammer has already dropped on them. I do not know a single enterprise customer that does not beleive MS is just taking them for a horrible ride. This looks bad on the surface but in reality it is a good thing for linux.
Don't even go spouting off about SAPDB being the best, why because yes it it the most industrial strength of the bunch. Now the only drawback to SAPDB is lack of good tools and the necessity of being a rocket scientist to even get the damn thing to run much less supporting it. We tried running the damn thing and actually got it to work but the maintenance and documentation issues turned us back to postgres for the real work.

Put in the floppy and walk away.. Have it email me when it is done!

If you do not like the license then buy it loser. At which point you can do what you wish.
God I love it ;)
I think that is the one that we are talking about, and the same one I dissasembled in a hex editor and found it was written in delphi.

Since when is lost data in SQL server not a MS issue? Sounds pretty damn cut a dry to me!
If you don't have a driver then code one. It all depends on how much you wan't it. If I cared about scanners I would code my own driver.
Do a search on the contact names and email addresses? Nothing!
