An FPGA might be a little bit over this guy's head, seems to me like he's more interested in microcontroller applications.
You may want to try building a robot. It's usually easy to find an application for a robot, you are already looking at 8051 stuff, those chips along with Motorola 68HC11's are excellent for embedded robot control. Usually there is quite a bit of hardware hacking involved to setup sensors, motors/servos etc. and you can find tons of info about robot construction all over the web. One site I've found particularily useful: The EE Compendium. Good luck!
In my opinion, driving is a team effort. When everybody cooperates, things go smoothly. But when someone does not play nice with others, things start to break down.
From my experience, no matter how fast the main lane of traffic is travelling, there is always someone who wants to go faster and is willing to weave in and out of traffic to go.5 mph faster than everybody else. There should be more communication channels between cars. If our cars could communicate with each other about road and traffic condidtions, etc, the non-exiting lane could travel at a blistering speed and the right most lane could be reserved for those who have exits in the next 5 miles.
Honestly, the only thing stopping this from happening now is the idea of the national speed limit which was set in the 70's when we were having a fuel crisis. Oh, and the knuckleheads who want to go faster than everyone else also keeps us from going really fast.
I'm still in college and since I had so many scholarships, my parents just handed me the medium sized ~$4000 chunk of cash they had saved to pay for my college. So, I invested it. I had tried out BeOS a while back and really really liked it, so I plunked down the majority of my money into it. If I knew then what I know now, I probably would not have done that (which would have been a big mistake). I bought around 400 shares x $6.25 and waited. I think that I was going to wait for it to go up to 8 or so and then sell it...until lo and behold, the ruling against microsoft and it shot up to a high of $39!!! Once again, if I knew then what I know now, I would have sold it at $30 or $35...but I didn't (which was sort of a bad thing), it deflated quite dramatically, and this last tech stock scare really hit it hard...but it hasn't dropped below $12.50...so pretty much, my investment has doubled no matter what. And I am resolute in my belief that it will go back up to the $30's when the final ruling against ms comes out...Dunno what the moral of my longwinded story is, maybe just invest in a company with a product you like...and hold on to it, I kept BEOS for maybe 4 months before I saw any results...in fact, before it hit it's high, it dropped to around $3 a share, I can't say that this didn't scare me, but you have to hold on to it...almost all stocks have a general upward trend and tech stocks seem to rise the fastest. I got really lucky, and you might to but the chances are pretty slim.
I bought a used All-In-Wonder Pro about 4 months ago, it's video capture is top notch, I don't know if it's the software or the hardware, but I've seen some hauppage-type video capture stuff and my AIW pro blows that away. The hauppage stuff can't do full screen which GATOS does easily.
As for 3d, I picked up a pair of Voodoo2's for $70 on Ebay, you can set them up for SLI which gives you twice the 3d power as just one board. If you have two pci and one agp slot, and your computure is well cooled, then I think that this is the way to go.
For a complex document, you don't use Office, you use LaTeX. It's much more powerful, the output looks better, and you can use emacs or vi to edit it instead of the 2000 lb monster that is Microsoft Office.
This must be one of the factors that contributed to Be's stock's large jump today +3 15/16 to 19 11/16, it had been languishing for a while, but many people are predicting (read: hoping) that it hit 30 by the end of the week. Intel has purchased a larger share in Be Inc. and the upcoming Stinger Internet Appliance will be based on Intel chips.
Also, the faq must have been written in Windows because all of the apostrophes show up as question marks. Also, take a gander at the source of all of the pages I have checked out...they all contain
It seems that they are totally riding other peoples coatails to the top, at least they don't include Debian on the list;-) But seriously, that is a ridiculous number of keywords, basically, anyone searching for these words will end up at the LinuxOne web page which is a shame. Maybe Google can put up a disclaimer before it sends anyone to the LinuxOne web site.
I ran StarCraft under wine, it worked very well except that I never got the multiplayer to work, but that was with wine about a year ago. I'm sure that it would work now.
But isn't Starcraft a little old? Does it still have a huge number of players? I dunno, but I would imagine that there are probably more profitable games Loki could do.

I'm not speaking from experience, but I certainly would imagine that whatever sends "Mozilla 5.0" back as User Agent is just a string somewhere in the source, easily changed.
I seem to remember that wget has an option to change the User Agent to whatever you want, so even today, the method you mention doesn't REALLY guarantee sucess.
One possible solution might be to subject a browser to a quick series of queries, the response to which would be known ahead of time for a particular browser...not ever having dabbled in javascript, I don't really know how something like this would work.
Perhaps Mozilla's javascripting engine is a module or a plugin for which you could have a custom version used on your client's sites, but once again, not having delved into Mozilla code, I do not know how this works.
Hmmm, it seems that this file is not a zip file which I had at first assumed, from running strings on it, it contains the string "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" what's up with that?? Anyway, would it be against the licsensing terms for someone to post a tarball of the expanded source for us non-windowsy types?
I was told by the guy from vmware at ALS that BeOS does not run well within vmware. It simply likes to have more resources than can be alotted to it by the host OS. I'm also sure that vmware is better optimized to handle things like windows and linux/bsd due to the much larger number of users for those os's than for the BeOS. I have Be, but not vmware so I've never tried it.
