    Wire wrap.

    Do you have any idea how many wires it takes to hook up a SIMPLE x86 single board computer?

    They are called "cordless screwdrivers". I used on to fix my toilet yesterday.

  8. Re:tricorder feature list on Integrated Pocket PC, GPS and Laser Range Finder · · Score: 1

    From the "STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION TECHNICAL MANUAL":

    The sensor assemblies incorporate a total of 235 mechanical, electromagnetic and subspace devices mounted about the internal frame as well as imbedded in the casing as conformal instruments. 115 of these are clustered in the forward end for directional readings, with a field-of-view lower limit of 1/4 degree. The other 120 are omnidirectional devices, taking measurements of the surrounding space

    It also has data storage capacity of 6.91 kiloquads and an built in subspace tranceiver assembly. It draws about 15.48 watts of power from it's rechargeable sarium crystal, giving about 18 hours of full instrument use.

  9. Re:DivX...? on Why Open Source Makes Sense For Handhelds · · Score: 1

    MMPlayer on the Zodiac is getting there. If Tapwave and ATI ever release some decent hardware data, Magnus and company will have perfect divx playback (it works pretty good now). Mpeg video plays damn close to perfect now.

    Maybe not lethal, but how about painful?

    $180+ for a horrible looking M$ thing with a simple paging-type receiver? No thanks.

  19. How About a Watch? on A Linux Machine For Your Collar · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Put this in a watch and I will buy one.

    I've been looking for a geeky watch. The IBM Linux watch doesn't look like it is ever going to come out.

    Add a tiny color touch screen, some buttons and a tiny speaker/mic.

    The SD slot has lots of possibilities (I mean other than "wrist pr0n").

  20. Re:Looks. It's Part Of Gaming. on GP32 Gets Homebrew Games Galore For Competition · · Score: 1

    the GP32 has a cult following because of it's open nature

    For something a bit more advanced, check out the Tapwave Zodiac.

    Faster CPU, better screen, better controls, etc. And the SDK is free and (as soon as the new license comes out) OSS friendly.

    I have both. The GP32 is great, but the Zodiac has so much more potential. Now it just needs the games and emulators to make use of the potential.

    That goes for head hunters, big time. One recruiter tried and tried to get me an interview at a good company. No dice.

    Out of the blue another recruiter called and asked if I wanted an interview at the same company, the next day. Turns out that company does 99% of their recruiting through the the second firm.

    I got the job...

    Ug. It works great but is the UGLIEST thing!

    Imagine a plastic toolbox, hacked up with a dremel tool and painted beige (I thought it was funny at the time).

    I have free web space so, other than laziness, I have no reason not to put up pics...

    How about if I wait until I get my new nano-itx version done? It will look good, I promise!

    No lcd, but add in the ATI card.
