He very clearly states that it's there for his passengers. He does not use it while driving. It's more of a toy to show off to friends/co-workers. He's been working on this a long time, I'm suprised he hasn't been/.ed earlier. Kudos and Hoorah, I know I'm inspired.:)
This is currently tagged "Flamebait," which it may well be; but man did he just crack my ass up! Cheers... moderators, please take it easy. This was done in good humor, me thinks.
One of my first jobs, when I was sixteen, was working at the first lazer arena(in the midwest anyway), Lazer Zone. It was fun and the owner built all the equipment himself; they had reset machines that were really just electric magnets that created a 'circuit' of sorts when you placed the gun between them, generating a point for the other team. There were light sensors on the front of the gun, a small one on the battery pack (which you wore on your hip), and a ton of sensors on your little electro-yamaka... which had no functionallity besides being a good target. Of course, the die hard players had all the cheats/hacks just like today, only then it took some imagination.
They would come in with pen-lights, electric tape to cover the sensors, and the best team (their name now escapes me, it was a long time ago... oh wait, Team Wild) even came in with speaker magnets to reset their guns(which went dead after you got shot, until you hit aforementioned reset booth) and a hacked electric key to restart the timed battery packs.
Having it be a sole-proprietorship was great for him too, it gave him the ability to do whatever he wanted. It was all black-lit with flourescent tape around the edges of the 'shields' and ramps, with white lite projected as the 'laser.' By the time we closed the place down we had nerf footballs hacked into flash grenades and huge burst cannons on the ramps for each team. He had some really good ideas, and testing/implementing them was always fun. That was 1987 or so, but what the hell, the impetus to shoot people hasn't left me, count me in...:)
I just spoke to a lacky at Jim Ryan's office, as I am from IL. He was happy to tell me "I'll pass it along." I'm sure it'll be a direct quote of mine directly into Gov. Ryan's ear, which just happens to be the ear of one of the filthiest politicians currently in US politics.
Not only will he not hear my plea, when I hung-up, I'm sure I felt a giggle followed by "Heheh, there's another one." Oh well, if we all try we should be able to get to some of them anyway; I mean, I noticed that there's over 500,000 UIDs on/. now. That's an impressive lobby of geeks.
You sir, are a fool. Yes, he works for HP. He is Bruce Perens... the REAL Bruce Perens, idiot.
But for the uninformed who may be thinking the same thing as this fool, here are a few links to a clue, please drop a quarter in the slot...

My sister, who has to choose between my step-father's laptop running win98SE on a 19" monitor and my Mandrake box running BlackBox and konq(xchat never closes[/server irc.openprojects.net/#mandrake]) on a 17" monitor, she inevitably chooses mine, because she know's it's always on, i've asured her that there is no way she can break it, and it has everything she ever needs...
Not only that, she has everything she WANTS!
I now have QuickTime(tm) running with the sorenson codec plus Real Player.

She prefers linux, and is moving out... she wants me to build her a PC and it will not be running M$, right now Freq3 is slotted for install, unless they can get through the debug and come out with an RC1...
But i digress:)
I'm on #mandrake and #mandrakeguru on irc.openprojects.net all the time, we've been throwing-up October as an answer to that...
But as far as i know, it's only a guesstimate.
Why not drop all executables at the server, and have the users zip them up to send through. That seems the answer here... block.exe, but don't block.zip and you're all set.

Not too impressive, yet anyway.

of turning the WebSurfer Pro into a web-server or a router with the Linux Router Project.
OK, so i've never used ports before, and i'm trying to 'make install' in a few /games directories, and it continually gives this error...
$ make install
Makefile:42: *** missing separator. Stop.
Anyone know what i am doing wrong? is there something i'm missing, or is this not ready for prime-time?
