Please, some one explain to me what all this fuss about 1 click shopping and crap is.
How cah you have a patent of clicking once on a webpage to order something?
I am in the 10th grade and am struggeling through Algebra2 (because I had a crappy teacher for the first 1/2 of the year).
Anywho, I was wondering, what is peoples opinion of using a Program on a caclulator to solve a formula for you, or do you feel as if you should work it out the hardway?
Such as I designed a program for the Quadratic formula to where it would just ask a? b? c?
and you entered in the #'s.
I know how to do the formula, and in fact can recite it from memory, but how do you feel about this being used in schools, instead of having to work out a boring formula to do just a small part of a problem, when you already know how to?
Over at www.Workspot.com
They give you a free acount with Free X-windows over the net.
Perty cool, escpecially when I can show off Linux from an old crappy p100 from school.
And it always amazes people that its not actually on that computer, its on a computer that could be 1/2 way around the world.
Is there even a standard USB driver for Linux yet?
I am currently downloading Mandrake 8 Beta, which hopefully will let me get my Quickcam working, but is there a standard people are able to set a driver to yet?
Whats it going to cost them? 50 Cents a day for the electric?
Either 1. You be nice to the guy and let him charge the car, and look like a good employer.
Or 2. You Don't let him do it, look like a bad employer, and leave him no way to get home afterwork.
Quite Frankly, you must not live in the UK, because you sir, are an idiot!
WHo the heck do you think Tony Blair is?
HE's your friggin' Prime Minister!!!!!!!!
Like alot of people have said already,
there are tons of people willing to give you money for that laptop (including me)
But there are also tons of people that would beg you to take an old p75 desktop off them.
My suggestion is get an old 486 or Pentium, and run Freesco off a Floppy, and you don't even need a HD or more than a 150Watt P/S.
Give it a different name, and
make a few very small changes so you wouldn;t be infringing a copyright,
Then I see nothing wrong with what you are doing, but you don't have to tell that company about it, do you?
Yes, I know he built it,
but he was working for large company, and had a nice LARGE spending budget.
one of those things cost atleast 3k$ if not 5-6k$
You sure as hell aren't going to be builidng something like that in your spare time with pocket change.
So, even if he knows how to go the expensive route, do you really need it, if all your doing is hooking it up to a 1.2ghz computer, and playing a flight simulator?
Although it would kick butt to be in one of those, and be whooping peoples butts in multi-playuer acrost the internet!
This is the exact thing they have at Dave&Busters (a large arcade/resteraunt)
I looked into building one myself, and I found out it is extremly costly.
Anyways, what you are asking for is a Magic Awnser, Their is no such thing, I would suggest getting a Backlit old-style security-alarm Panel (they sell them at radioshack for 23$) And you can write anything inside the little button panel you want.
Does this activation code thing allow you to install the same verion of windows, on the same machine, more than once?
Such as say, you install Linux, then put Windows back on?
My uncles Card was stolen this year,
He ordered some robotics stuff,
It never came, but wierd charges showed up on his card.
When he called the place, some chinese lady awnsered the phone.
He ordered online, I wonder if it could have been stolen through this Crack?
What about 1 handed keyboards.
IT depends on who you have use the chords,
but 1 hour spend teaching someone to use it would make it still worthwhile.
And it would be smaller, so less area to pick crap up in.
I don't mean to judge you or anything,
but when I was 5, I was playing Castle Wolfenstien,
Now I have Excellent Hand-Eye coordination,
and I have respect for Guns, I have one sitting in my room right now, I just know not to play with it, and only to use it when appropriate.
I did just that this weekend, not as perfect, but somewhat similar.
I used an old p120, and had it boot Dos (I'm a little more familiar with it, and it boots faster) and use a DOS mp3 player which is in Autoexec.bat, and automatically looks for mp3s on the cd-rom. I bought a 600watt inverter, and had it all setup and running Saturday. The next thing I need to do is put a NIC in, and get a nice 100ft piece of Cat-5 so I can upload more mp3's on th HD.
For control I'm getting a Numerical keypad and a small LCD panel (From Jameco).
I would go with laser. I don't know about prices, but you could probably have a company come and do it for you much cheaper than buying the actual equipment. I you could use heat, perhaps just take a hot soldering iron (100 watt) and slowly melt it away, it might take a while and won't look perfect, but it might do the job.
I'm looking into desgining a In car MP3 player.
What I am doing is taking a p120, butting BEOS on it so it boots in about 10secs, then mounting it in the trunk, with an AC inverter (or does anyone know of a DC to DC inverter that I can use in a AT computer).
For the keyboard, I am going to radio shack, getting a Key-pad like they use on security systems, and basically chopping up an old keyboard. I've read that if you follow the lines on the plastic from the keys back to the controller, you can take it apart an solder in your own lines (make sure you use cat-5 or other high quality line).
then, all I need is a Winamp like mp3 player for BEOS, I mount the pad on my dash along with a on/off switch, and I'm set.
But, does anyone know what size of AC inverter to buy? and can I get buy with a cheap one, or do I need one of the Perfect Sine wave ones? Also, when I wire the on/off switch on my dash, how thik of wire would I need for it? although alternatively, I could just wire that into the line for the inverter between my battery.
Actually, I believe lag will be about 10-12 minutes, or their about. So you'll have no problem faxing your Mars office, but wouldn't want to talk to them. I know it takes an hour for a signal to get to Jupiter, I just don't remember how far Mars is from Jupiter.
If anyone wants a good interesting but short book on Mars, good "The snows of Olympus" Buy Arthur C. Clarke. IT has some really cool pictures done with a program for the amiga called Vistapro.
Slashdot Mirror
Heck yeah!!
I would get the Sun though, because who know how long Fujitsu will stick around in the server market?

I'm smart, and I'm 6"3' and weigh 195lb's.

2 on yo feet, and 1 up yo a$$

You get 56 mpg?
I get like 17-21!
It could also be that I drive a heap of junk,
which hasn't had a tune-up in years.

Go into single user moder first, I forgot to do that once and fsck'd my system.

But, their Glide SDK for the V3 is messed up.

No, you UT with really cool map where your one the Space-Station over Mars. That would kick A$$
Customer (over telephone) "Hello, do you have Alan Cox on a chip"
Salesmen "Why yes we do"
Customer "Well, YOU BETTER LET IM' OUT!!!!"
hehehehe
