  1. Re:Have a Computer in my Car on Complete PC instead of a Car Stereo · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's no problem with temperature. They have been running for two years and counting.

    Also have the ECM interface hooked up to the computer. There are some nice programs which let you change the information in the car's ECM.

  4. The right solution for a PC in an Automobile on Midori Linux Powered FIC Aquapad · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Looking at this product does suggest some use in an automobile application. I have installed two PC's into cars. It's really hard to find the right solution. So basically, I had to design the make the thing. One solution was to use a laptop. The laptop I could just wire in DC power from the car 12vdc. Power issue solved. The screen was removed from the base unit and a cable was made for 20 feet. Everyone including my mother told me it was not possible to run the video cable at 2" into 20 feet. Well that was no problem with the video. Works great!!! The mouse and keyboard I just ran 20 feet from the base in the trunk of the car to the front. Again, no problem with signal. It's the better solution than this product. Bigger screen and better functionality.

    Now with the problem of upgrading a laptop. I installed in a friends car a full size desktop. It give me the power to upgrade anything at anytime. I just installed it in the center console area with a leather covering. Bought the screen with anolog screen from http://www.flat-panel.com for $349 dollars. Wireless keyboard for $20. Done, full dvd with win2000. Again, more functionality than this device, with cheaper hardware/faster/smaller.

    With the Garmin GPS device that is the size of a mouse with serial input. Mint GPS/MP3 with wireless upgrade solution.

    I like the product, but again. You can hack someone better, which fits your requirements better.

  9. Add the different port to the DNS Name.... on Broadband Crackdown · · Score: 1

    I just went to the site where I purchase my domain. Change the IP address to include the new port. 24.65.345.34:8080 So when I type in www.emuit.com it redirects me to my site. What's the big deal. The DNS name does not change.

  10. Bill Gates for U.S. Pres on Would You Pay $1000 For Windows? · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised that Bill Gate is not thinking about becoming the next president of U.S.A. Then he could really fuck the country. Manditory purchases of Microsoft products and just forget about all the legal issues with Microsoft.

  11. Mail a Scanner on CueCat Goes After Online Barcode Database · · Score: 1

    It's too bad that the people in Canada can not be a part of the DC world. I tried to send an online request for their IP cuecat. They told me that they could not ship their product. Anyone willing to lick a stamp to a cuecat and send me one? Better yet send about 1000 of them and I can give them away around Toronto. I would include in the package a diskette or link informaton to the linux drivers ;)
