And the Tapwave Zodiac runs emulators even better. It is sort of the big brother of the GP32 (I own both).
Now that the GPL issue is fixed with Tapwave and Palm, more emulators are on the way. A PS1 emulator is running now (ok, at about 3 fps, but it's a start).
Rlyeh is working on cross-platform porting now, so we can all feel the love!
It's the steering column hitting the driver, not the driver hitting the steering column.
If the engine is shoved hard enough into the firewall, the steering column goes through the driver. The seat belt doesn't do much good at that point. The air bag may help, up to a point.
Microchip has a new line of DSC (digital signal controller) chips now. They combine a DSP with a microcontroller. I may use one in a later version.
I am looking at maybe adding an SD slot. I can get an interface off the shelf for that.
Sonar? Nah, I want a laser range finder. I haven't found a circuit for one yet, though.
I'm working on the "main unit" (central controller, controls and display) and an RF unit (RF detector and frequency counter) first. With a PIC, a frequency counter is *VERY* simple.
It's still in the concept/design stage. I'm considering radiation, meteorological (temp, pressure, humidity), RF, light and gas sensors. All these sensors are available in one form or another.
As to the unit itself, it will either be stand alone or a PDA add on. Any PDA with a serial port should work. Bluetooth is also a possibility.
PIC microcontrollers are so cheap, I may use a seperate one for each sensor.
If you can find a source for lots of cheap, double sided PC board, it makes great cases. Easy to cut, easy to put together. You can bolt it together using little angle brackets and then solder the edges. Makes great RF tight enclosures.
Hell, just do a google search on "PIC" plus whatever device you are interested in.
I keep finding more and more goodies to add to my Tricorder project. I found a ton of info on PWM just last night. DAC without a DAC!
Has anybody found a source for solid state radiation detector modules? You can get complete detectors, but I want the "Cadmium Sulfide Photoconductive cell viewing a Gadolinium OxySulfide scintillating phosphor" module itself. (Sounds like Star Trek techno-babble!)
Since a CRT is a huge electromagnetic source and other than the controller chips, there isn't a hell of a lot that cause interference in a LCD, I doubt that is the issue.
There are so many choices when it comes to sensors: RF detector, frequency counter, radiation detector, gas sensors, IR motion detector, meteorological sensors, GPS...
Using Pic and BasicX microcontrollers and various sensors (RF, Chem, Rad, etc.). Add a nice graphics LCD, and a SD memory slot. (All of this is available now)
My "Mark I" should be operational soon. Maybe I will do a write up for "Make"...
I have a Tennessee permit and can carry in about 45 states (last time I checked).
It's funny though. Permit carriers in some states (like California) can carry legally here, but I can't carry there.
Also for a while, I could carry in Missouri, but Missouri residents couldn't get permits to carry there. Some socialist judge in St. Louis decided the "must issue" clause was unconstitutional, but the carry clause wasn't.
Guns are tools, like screwdrivers, hammers and lockpicks. People just have strange ideas about guns.

Shit, I hope it's not a Monday!
How long would a "day" be to God? A day is 24 hours on Earth. The 24 hour day is not universal.
A "day" to God could be a billion years on Earth...
Eating as much as an elephant eats?
Get out the torx bits, I smell a HACK!
The guy who is selling this thing is first class dick.
You know, one of those "TV is EE-VIL, I don't watch it and nobody else should either" types.
Somebody should shove one of his remotes up his ass and stomp him until the TV turns off...

There are also "wireless camera detectors" on the market. Basically just .9 to 2.4GHZ RF detectors with a signal strength LED bar graph.
Heh. Hook the camera back up, then use your X10 reciever to record the culprit taking a dump/shower.
Post the video...

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EDIT MURPHY!
Think "Chainsaw Hands" (we won't mention the "D Cups of Justice")...

More like bad drivers or a shitty monitor.
Think "tin foil suit" to go with your hat.
RFID jammers are already being discussed (and maybe produced).
Yeah, Lindsay has a ton of cool books. Everything from "The Impoverished Radio Experimenter" to "DIY Embalming" (I'm not kidding).
Lots of metal working stuff and old books on interesting subjects.
There are so many choices when it comes to sensors: RF detector, frequency counter, radiation detector, gas sensors, IR motion detector, meteorological sensors, GPS...
The display is a no-brainer. The BasicX can do straight serial out to the LCD.

Self defense and the defence of others seems a useful function. To me, at least.
YMMV...

More importantly....how can I get one for free???
FreePMCs.com
Duh.
Except for the fact the laptop in question is a total piece of shit.
My boss bought one for his wife. It would barely boot.
Luckily, stuff bought from walmart.com can be returned at any walmart store, so he didn't have to pay shipping to return it.
I felt bad, since I had pointed out the ad for the POS...
Yeah, like you can run a death-ray with the current available from an SDIO slot.
What about "The Venture Brothers"? Where does that fit in, action or comedy?
It's just so damn...twisted! Like ATHF with sex!
I have hurt myself laughing every time I've seen it.
