You might be able to get an OBD-I or OBD-II interface. Like the techs use to troubleshoot with. OBD-I should be pretty cheap and I think it goes up to 1998 or so. OBD-II was mandated for late-models, and has far more data available.
It also costs more...
If these don't work, check into Dinan Performance or one of the other "chip tuners". I'm pretty sure most make kits that'll connect a laptop to the ECM for testing and config purposes. Your board should work fine with these apps.
Every time I need to get across town in a hurry, I keep getting held up by tiny one-lane roads or unbelievable roundabouts. Of course, having Yardies on my ass the whole time doesn't help. And the coppers get all bent when I have to run a Triad down to stop him shooting at me!
I'd probably do better if I'd give up stealing BT vans in a moronic attempt to infiltrate Snow Hill...
Yup - I don't have a PC gaming rig, so for now I'm console-bound.
I had a ton 'o fun with BG:DA on PS2. I had even more fun editing my save file after beating Extreme once. Onyx swords with 1000+ critical hits...yum! Enchanted armor that boosts stats! Elven everything!
I wish I still had VB6 or somesuch so I could write a full save editor for the game after the work I did decoding the format...

- Fond memories of hacking Privateer's saves to put 4 alien guns on my ship...
My copy of Prologue should be in my grubby little hands this week, so after playing what is admittedly a rushed-and-defective demo disc, I'm going to be salivating at the thought of what will happen dev-wise in the next six months before its full release.
Also, Baldur's Gate II, Project Gotham 2, Perfect Dark 0, Kingdom Hearts 2...
Cary Sherman, president of the recording industry group, said the ruling "unfortunately means we can no longer notify illegal file sharers before we file lawsuits against them to offer the opportunity to settle outside of litigation."
"Offer the opportunity to settle"...Kinda like offering an olive branch made of pointy steel leaves and covered with anthrax. Now that's a classic worth framing!
I have JWPce running on my Jornada 420 (don't laugh) and on my XP box at work.
I use it a lot when trying to read one of the many Japanese magazines or books I have. It accepts kana or Kanji input when looking for the meanings of Japanese words. I've never used romaji, and normal English searches for English in the definitions. And almost all the definitions are accompanied by Kanji, kana and English. Very handy!
Input using the stylus is easy if you have kana - you type the romaji for the kana and kana appear: Type sakuranbo and the kana goes in the text box.
I can't remember which store, but I was browsing games at the Florida Mall in Orlando, and at the bottom shelf of a unit full of those stupid Cheat disks was this Junk TV Disk.
At least I think it was - don't remember the name. It was DEFINITELY a Datel product for the EyeToy touting these kinds of video acitivies though. And I'm fairly certain it was for NTSC|U/C.
I thought it was neat to see non-Sony support for the EyeToy. I'd really like to see what future games do with it, besides built-in face-mapping.
Kinda how Manhunt uses the headset to "whisper" directly in your ear...
(Before I begin my reply, let me thank you o-troll-without-a-name. I'm so jazzed up right now I can skip the rest of my caffeine IV!)
When I read your first reply, I thought it might be some weird kind of astroturfing. Then I got your latest, and it seems you're really serious. Or a really good troll. Either way, I'm interested now. Give me some history - why are you so passionate? And why don't you understand we're on the same side?
As for the typo cut, you obviously understood its meaning, which in communication is the goal. And how do you know what language's syntax I'm using? Perhaps you can offer up a correction? And why do you care if I code? I never claimed to be uber-l33t.
You don't see the need for the content creators to adjust or recreate their business models and practices? Reasons/Examples/Evidence?
And I'll accept your correction - the media market is in fact OK. But just because the dollars are there doesn't mean there's desire. People are slowly realizing there can be more to media than what the ??AA's feed them. And I don't mean digital convergence.
Let me know what your shoes taste like - Yes, I know what Fair Use is. No, I can't quote the whole doctrine. But I know that basically, court decisions have supported certain consumer freedoms when it comes to time and format-shifting as well as excerpting. But that was when copies were less-than-perfect.
Now that digital consumer tech can crank out bit-perfect copies again and again, Fair Use has become "piracy". Hence the need for a sea-change...
Oh yeah, what's up with the rudeness and the swearing?
Wow. I'm speechless. WOW. What more can I say? Wow...
Look, I'm glad someone finally noticed my lil' sig, but I'm not advocating rampant copying (thievery, if you will). Nor do I subscribe to the "Information wants to be free" mentality.
All I'm saying is the [RI|MP|??]AA's of the world are two steps behind the market's desires and are lashing out in desperate, litigious, harmful, and at best, useless ways to get the control back in their hands.
I understand IP and keeping control of it. I'm a bit of a coder and I enjoy many of the products of our various content industries. Legally, I might add.
All I mean to say is these soon-to-be-extinct dinosaurs need to update their business models and practices and stop trying to force the genie back into the bottle with C&D's.
Fair Use is fair use, including format and timeshifting that which I have legally purchased. They seek to take that away, and in so doing limit how I enjoy their content. At some point, I'll stop enjoying it, or I'll turn to darker means to get my purchases useful gain.
I bank at a credit union, and they don't charge for me to use their ATMs. Other ATMs do, anywhere from 2-3 bucks. But there's another way...
Pretty much every store I deal with either accepts the Visa Check card, or will allow cash-back-with-purchase if I debit. Anytime I need actual bills (rare) I swing by Target or Wal-Mart and grab a case or two of whatever drink is on sale, and a twenty.
Works great out-of-state, too! Who doesn't have a Wal-Mart?

- Doesn't understand why cashiers don't insist on the cheaper PIN option...
At Universal Islands o' Adventure, they recently upgraded their free locker rental kiosks with fingerprint scanners so they don't have to print out all those "PIN receipts".
When I went up to one to stash my junk to ride the Hulk, I used my middle finger. The crowd behind me laughed, but the machine got the last laugh as it wouldn't unlock again, no matter how many times I flipped it off.
I mean, I remember reading about fullerenes in Discover like 10 years ago, but I never knew they could occur naturally, or in the case of a cataclysmic impact, spontaneously.
I thought it took precise conditions to get them to form. And for these to have captured gases inside...
...if the amount of console software out there are still rising at a certain rate, but the hardware no longer increases at that rate, it still may be a problem
Why? Do you mean in the Atari 2600-E.T. sense of too many games for the userbase? If so, remember there's over 60 million PS2's out there. Even given a 50% failure rate that leaves a worldwide userbase of over 30 million consoles.
And since others keep mentioning it, Sony should be making money on each PS2 by now. Last informed report had them past break-even on the R&D and fab plants early this year. And they keep trimming them down and have moved some production to China. I don't think Nintendo cares what we do, and Microsoft still has deep pockets (and Live!)
So basically, Sony wins EVERY time that register ka-chings, unless it's for a used item.

This however, bothers me. Can someone help me translate the hidden message? There is a hidden message, right? Or is this like those stupid 3-D pictures where you stare, unfocus your eyes, get a migraine and expect to see a 3-D Enterprise and all you get is a blurry bump-mapped Enterprise-shaped blob?

How much would the average lifespan be affected if plastics and their uses were dropped overnight? What would we use to make our things? And how long until THAT ran out?
What about the uses of plastics for packaging, sanitation, sterile handling, etc.? What kind of effect would not using plastics have on healthcare? Back to glass hypos? JCAHO safety regs be damned, then!
What about the economics? Plastics (and related polymers) make a lot of things lighter or stronger. Sure, there are metallic ways to do this, but how much more would things cost to make and purchase?
And speaking of money, what would they make the anti-counterfeiting strip in the new bills with?;)
