They don't have a computer in the car, they have gameboys. I only put a TV in the car for really long trips.
Car trips are a waste of time. Until teleportation is common, we are stuck with them. I either keep the boys occupied, or they fight. Then I have to beat them. Which sucks.
My four year old has a pixtar with the learning cartridge. He is learning phonics now.
My eight year old is the top accelerated reader in his grade (not just his class). He reads at a 6.5 grade level. Funtional literacy is considered 6th grade level. He reads better than the majority of *ADULTS* in the U.S.
He reads, but gets tired of it. Kids tend to have short attention spans. They need multiple activities.
Actually, it's pretty damn hard to get a nuclear explosion. For an implosion bomb, the explosives have to be detonated with near microsecond precision. For a gun-type, just slamming the subcritical masses together works, but still needs some precision. Just having bomb parts near each other would not be enough to have them go nuke. You need a neutron source too.
I don't have my copy of "The Manhattan Project" handy, but a Belgian had shipped tons out of the Congo and stored it in NYC to keep the Germans from getting it.
Yeah, Grove and others were scouring the earth for uranium and came to find out many tons were stored in barrels in a warehouse in NYC, right under their noses.
Yep, the bribe doesn't have to be much, either. Especially in dollars.
You can bad mouth the US all you want, but at least the cops are *SUPPOSED* to have a search warrant. The fourth amendment means less each day (a certain former president told his people to "find a way around it"), but the words are still on the paper.
Lik-Sang has more than mod chips, GBA dev kits and such. They also sell the afterburner internal light for the the GBA and the excellent Gamepark GP32. This little handheld game has a much bigger screen than the GBA, has a 113Mhz ARM 7 CPU and uses SMC cards instead of cartridges.
Yes, a Linux port is under way. Anybody know of an existing Linux SMC driver?
The gameboy advance is nice and the GP32 is better, but both lack horsepower. The Dell Axim is close, but even at $199 too expensive.
How about an Axim with the most expensive bits replaced? Replace the touch screen with a non-touch screen, the lithium ion battery with "AA" types and Pocket PC with a stripped down Linux?
Maybe add a chip to improve 3D performance, rotate it 90 degrees and put in decent game controls. Aim for a $99 price.
Just think of the games that could be ported to that baby!
You forgot the New Madrid Fault (Southeast Missouri and surrounding areas). It rivals the San Adreas(sp). Plus tornados.
However, we are hiring (in Memphis). You gotta know Progress, though. If you have to ask "Progress who", then just move along. And forget those left coast wages.

They will be using one of the subcarriers on the FM broadcast signals, like they do with elevator music.
Pirating the signal should be a fairly easy hack, as long as the encryption is not too strong.

You see sonny, for years people have been successfully traveling via car. Without the aid of internets, dvd, satellite broadcast and cell phones.
Yeah, and it sucked too. We used to take long car trips when I was young, they were boring as hell.
I use a couple of gameboys to keep my kids occupied.
Oh, you mean the big-blue-room, the one with the really bright yellow light, right?
I use an old machine for a Kazaa box. It stays up all the time. Except when it freezes, then I just reboot it.
I missed the Enterprise episode "Catwalk" due to bad weather. I just downloaded it and plan to watch it later. Love that Kaazaa!
Louis Slotkin died that way.
I don't think it would be an explosion, more of a run away fission process that would vaporize the uranium.
How else can you explain the fact that Strom Thurmond is not dead? Its the symbiotic alien organism keeping him alive.
From the look of him, they need to run him through the sarcophagus again. The damn host is falling apart!

Yes, they are.
The second amendment is the guarantee of the others.
Think I am full of it? Read Unintended Consequences. That book is *NOT* about terrorism, it is about true patriots (think founding fathers).
If they push too hard, they go. Period.
Capo is derived from latin for head.
As in "give me some capo, baby"?

The DoJ doesn't want to admit it, but the Russians just blew a big smoking hole in the DMCA.
Maybe the Supremes will finish it off now. But I doubt it.
You forgot: "It only comes in one color" and "It cost $160".
And how good are its official titles?
Well, no Disney tie-ins (nyuck, nyuck!).
Really, who cares? The SNES, GBC, C64 and some other emulators are running fine, along with Doom, Wolf3D, etc.
A GBA emulator is in the works, but there probably isn't enough horsepower available (though 113Mhz will help with software 2D & 3D).
The GP32 has some faults, but the fact plain SMC cards can be used pretty much trumps them.
What I *REALLY* want is something like the Dell Axim converted to a game device. mmm, 400Mhz...

It's like a gameboy advance on steroids. The GBA only runs at 16Mhz.
I think the phone, pda and gaming appliances will merge sooner than most people think.
The way things usually work out, we will all have Nintendo phones running "XP Wireless".
Hey, look at my fairly low ID number.
Look at my nick...oh, hell.
Maybe I should change my nick to "Anime_Jedi_Master".
Yeah, I submitted this on the day it appeared, yada-yada, it got rejected, blah-blah, bitch, bitch, moan, moan...

No, and the oscillation overthruster has nothing to do with Buckaroo Banzai.
