For gearheads handy with lathes and such, there were plans for a itty-bitty Stirling engine in the July 1965 Popular Science magazine, p.107. The article shows one mounted in the focus of a 18" dish, and another poked in the back-end of a 8" headlight reflector. (There was a place that sold kits, $25, but maybe Techni-Kits of NYC is no longer around.)
Libraries possibly have that issue in some sort of micro-fiche format that hasn't suffered bit-rot yet.
Palm IIIe I picked up a couple months ago for $25 CAN. (I'd probably outgrow any first PDA, so I decided to spend the minimum until I know exactly what features I want/need in the second one.)
Well... Here's some fun. My original post showed the harvested domain did a 302 Found redirection to 66.96.215.226. That rinky-dink NET-66-96-215-215-1 block hasn't changed since 2001-06-29. Taking the address of the owner and dropping it into Mapquest, and.. voila! Just down the road from Clearwater. (Doesn't prove anything. Florida is loaded with spammers and scammers of all types.)
Here's the related post to ars just before the one to nanae. Much the same, but it shows a bit more of the detail. (The nanae crowd could do their own homework of that type.)
That's very speculative. Later I did notice that the outfit apparently in Las Vegas had bought up a hell of lot of pre-owned domains to hook into their malware infesting operation, especially ex small professional/medical sites.
There's nothing visibly connecting that Hubbard management company to that spyware operation other than a lot of their old sites were harvested. And there's nothing showing that the operation that I saw a year ago is the same one as Sunbelt found. And I never disected the spyware to see what its main purpose was. Accusing Sunbelt of other than what the story says would be a heck of reach even for me, and I'm way biased.;^)
But I do hope law enforcement digs deep into who that malware gang was connected to.
I doubt Sunbelt would be involved in stealh whistleblowing. Stealth settling of accounts with some group no longer connected to Co$ would be more their style, but that would be baseless speculation on my part to even suggest such a thing, so I won't.
And posted about a network of sites I found over a year ago on news.admin.net-abuse.email when looking at a Scientology management company I notice that someone tossed a cancel at my post within a day. (By coincidence, Sunbelt Software is up to its eyebrows in Scientology too.)
Just adjust the cycle and set for warm wash, no biggie. (The Ancients used them for washing machines. Transportation was just a side-effect. They went to Pegasus to look for where the odd socks went.)
It could work. Argus and Hercules, two lovable explorer/archaeologist robots. Argus sounds like the thinker of the two, and Hercules is the strong impulsive one. Could one of them carry a bullwhip?

Apparently it's not always that simple. There are USB servers [masters] and passive clients [slaves], and most of these gadgets only do the client side. (e.g. the Palm PDAs with USB.) This is only what I've read, I haven't looked at USB specs, yet.
It would be a nice hack to allow it to use all the USB drives and WiFi widgets. (Being able to shuffle the content other USB slaves like drives, cameras, MP3 players, etc, while mobile would be good too.) A USB slave revolt.. perhaps the hack should be called Spartacus?
Slick, that turns the problem around and drops it in their lap. Providing reliable network time would certainly be their job (especially if they block access to outside servers), and it would be easy to show that it's a requirement for network operation and logging. (OP might want to jury rig something to periodically test their time for accuracy.)

It's okay, it plays Zork.
I'm not sure about the mu-metal, but I definitely wouldn't want to have magnets near an operating MRI machine!
I don't like Heavy Mental that much.
I've put in my schedule. If it doesn't come true, I suggest a slash mob ring his door Wednesday morning Aug 8th, 2035 and laugh at him.
What, is God the only one allowed to do that? I thought ID was competely secular?

In fact, Alex Eckelberry thinks exactly like Tom Cruise. Who would have figured that!

I believe CoolWeb uses exploits in MS's Javascript rather than their ActiveX exploits.

Buy one of these R/C UFOs and find a fly-weight WiFi camera that it can lift. (Better kill the LED strobes if you're peeping at night.)

Like what, Pinball Construction Set?
Yep, ever since the days of printing ASCII porn on teletypes!

Yet, are there things that are more important than money?
