It seems to me that the likelihood of these bills getting passed is next to nothing
In TENNESSEE? Dude, up until a couple of years ago, you could hire a contractor to work on your house. Your agreement was with him. If the contractor did not pay HIS suppliers, the supplier could put a lean on your house. And it was LEGAL!
Bad law, crooked as a dogs hind leg, right? It took YEARS AND YEARS to repeal that shit. The building material suppliers said it would bankrupt them. God knows they shouldn't have to do credit checks on fly-by-night contractors...
I had to give up my dish when I moved last year, but feeds were going away then. It seems a lot of stuff is either encrypted or going to Ku band.
I saw tons of interesting stuff on my dish in 1991. Iraqis getting blown in half and crispy citters. A lot of footage was coming on the in dish, being censored and then put out on cable.
I'm working on a similar design. The toolbox has a removable upper tray. I put the wireless keyboard and cables there for easy access, with the MB, PS, drives and ATI TV-Wonder VE in the bottom. I have a big section of copper clad PC board to put in the bottom as a common ground.
However, the GP32 has an afterburner type light coming out later this month. You will be able to buy a GP32 with the light, have it installed or get a kit to install it yourself.
The screen is already soooo much better than the GBA. The divx movies and MP3s rock too.
If you want an open handheld console to develop for, try the GP32. With specs like these: # CPU 32 Bit RISC CPU (ARM9, 133MHZ) # Display: TFT 3.5" Reflective TFT LCD(65,536 colors) # ROM 512 Kbytes # Storage SMC(Smart Media Card) # RAM 8MB SDRAM # PC Connection Cable USB Port connection cable # Sound 16Bit PCM Stereo Sound, MIDI support (over 32 poly), 4 Channel WAV Mixing # 32Bit RISC CPU # Definition 320 X 240 Pixels # Power 2 AA Batteries (12 Hours use time between charges) # MP3 MPEG(I,II) Audio Support # Controls 8-Way directional pad (joystick) + Durable 6 key buttons # Wireless multi-player gaming # Internet Connectivity # Online multiplayer game can be played by high-speed Internet connection
Years ago, I was on a flight and cranked up Doom on my laptop. Even back then, people on an airliner seemed a bit touchy about the sound of automatic weapons fire.
I had an iPAQ, they are fine little handheld computers. But as game machines, they leave a lot to be desired.
The "button problem" (no two buttons useable at once) make most gaming marginal at best (RPGs may be an exception). Plus, the button/D-pad layaout was all wrong for games.
They also cost too much for game machines. I was always afraid my sons were going to break it, so rarely let them play with it.
I won't even go into the fact that they run an EEE-VIL OS.
I own a GP32 now. It's not as fast (133MHZ ARM), but the controls rock (much better than a GBA) and it only cost ~$160USD. It runs lots of emulators (soon GBA too) and is fairly simple to code for. It uses SMC cards for storage.
Excuse me, I need to go hide in a toilet stall and play Doom now...

Belay that order!
Use setting 16, all I want to see is glowing green vapor!
It's a poodle. Put it on delicate.
I'd prefer to put it on the grill. Maybe that new iGrill?
mmm, hot dog...

Now I have to make due with Fox News

I am building a mini-itx machine into a cheap tool box. I plan on putting a small, color LCD screen into the lid, and make it removable.
It will be kind of like those PSX systems with the screen. Except it will also be a portable Tivo, DVD player, MP3 player, emulator machine...
I have all the bits except the motherboard and screen. The prices on both of those continue to drop, so I can't decide when to order.
Yes, but I DID compare the carrot to both a Granny Smith and a Red Delicious...
My sons have GBC and GBA original consoles and I have played them and an SP at wally world.
I like my GP32 better. It fits the hand better and the joystick is orders of magnitude better than the GBA D-pad.
Also, it runs lots of emulators and ports, plus MP3 and Divx video players. It's amazing how much stuff fits on a 128MB SMC card.
Sadism? Just another word for MARKETING.
Think about it...
Well, that sucked.
"To Be Continued" my ass.
What the hell ever happened to a happy ending? Oh, right gotta set it up for the movie...
Shouldn't that be "when EDITORS are dumb"?
You said God quite a few times there, sexual frustrations????
Well, he did say he's married...
Uh, shouldn't that be "42nd President"?
No, wait that would be "Horny Party Boy".
If you never watched, you don't really know, eh?
See, they had this really big toaster in the caves of the prophets, and Gul Dukat had this bread ray he picked up in the gamma quadrant and...
Sea Horses are those things that Aquaman would ride around on.
Aquagirl?
Yeah, but she was TOAST (literally) in the end.
I saw Jack try to strangle her once.
And I even saw her record the brain images of her own death once.

No graphics chip, just the ARM graphics routines.

It's available in the UK now.
Yeah, it cost ~$150, how much does a PDA cost?
These dev kits seem free enough.
Who mentioned gameboys? Oh, it runs GB/GBC games just fine, and a GBA emulator (several, actually) are in the works.

How can you go wrong?

Now THAT'S funny!
Has anyone done a study as to why people who program computers cannot correctly conjugate "to lose"?
The same reason English majors can't find the "any" key? And keep breaking the "cup holder"?
I worked for a company where a guy (Hey, Jeff) did that. I changed it to my son's name.
The only people who could possibly profit from that backdoor would be store managers, who could use it for covering up inventory theft.
Luckily, they're all still looking for the "any" key...
That's what's cool about Doom on the GP32.
The GBA plays Doom, but only the original episodes. On the GP32 , you can play any WAD files.
