i have been using this for the past 30 minutes at work. all the while my friends are messaging me, i am reading emails - and i am able to see the status of the number of indexed items grow with every chat i engage and with every email i read(not literally of course). What scares me is how instantaneous it indexes things. it would easily allow my boss to search and find the ONE conversation that breaks policy. This is really cool - but it strikes fear into my cold black heart.
i was poking around wiht the indexes a little (located at C:\Documents and Settings\~username~\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Google Desktop Search\ in xp) and i really wasn't able to ascertain anything. haha. i just want to see how 'encrypted' the aim chats are. logs are scary at work. and searchable hidden logs are even scarier.
I took an electronics class were we had to build and program a oscilliscope for one of the beginning prohjects. We had a generic DAQ and the api for C(dos) or VB(win). The prof only new VB so we were limited to that. The drivers and API for VB was pretty good, however it was quite slow when propagating sample rate changes and the like. However, it worked. If you are interested in the source code it is here(warning - it is VB and it is a quick hack). We were able to use it to "record" from a microphone and then "playback" the waveform we recorded. It was pretty cool.
really you should be able to use any analog-to-digital acquisition device. A sound card would work great. Program it using the sound cards low level API. Basically write a driver/program that parse hthe wave info and spits it out to the screen rather than the speaker. heh.
For probes, use a mic plug hooked to a male banana clip. that should allow you to use any breadboard/probe.
I would be very interested in bottlerocket. You should post info about your progress to audreyhacking.com so we can all enjoy it. I will ensure you get credit and all that nonsense.
Actually, you can purchase an audrey from a vendor and then go download a hacked rom image from audreyhacking.com. Dump the image onto a compact flash card, slot it into the audrey and wham, bam - a hacked audrey with all the coolest features. It really is very easy. check out this article for more info and success stories.
It looks like it will be rather expensive, they have set the price to "open" with a sales expectation of 100 over three years. It has 20 degrees of movement. It uses RTLinux(like the other article mentioned) and uses USB to act as the "Direct Interface and Robot's Internal Network." also, it mentions that HOAP-1 stands for Humanoid for Open Architecture Platform
Imagine - a small army. A cluster if you will. wouldn't that be "wyrd":)

I have set up a rather extensive set of image and video mirrors.

Please mirror these.
I have made tar balls of the images and the movies so everyone will be able to set up their own mirror.
i am so confused? do you just chilland wait for some d00d to post a bullshit post and then you taunt them. I mean it seems like a fun plan.. but kinda anti-progressive..
It seemes that the technology industry is a field where a person is judged not by their color, income or sex, but by their technical skills and abilities; but the distribution of technology is a problem. It appears that technology is distributed in such a way that white suburbia has more of a chance at joining the technology industry than people of minority status.
With the influx of free(as in beer?) software and the explosion of the open source movement; it would seem that lower income(rural & urban) areas would have a greater potential for getting more computing power. The amount of hardware upgrades would seem to necessitate a steady supply of older machines that would be able to run Linux and open software at little cost.
But, it seems that this is not the case. The gap between technology and the low income areas of the U.S. is widening. How can we, as computer nerds, help to increase technology in affordable ways for the lower income areas. What do you as an outspoken member of the hacker community think of this paradox?
Doesn't it seem strange to anyone that a "personal news agent" would be patterned after a white, 5' 8", women. I wonder what her measurements are? Do you think they might be similar to the gravity defying barbie? Isn't this a little sexist, and racist? Does the user have the capibility to change or modify what type of character Ananova is? Can i choose a 6' man who wouldn't be frequenting the spa and getting ready for a spot of skiing? Why is it that the personalities that companies choose to represent data in the "Internet Century" are misogynistic male fantasies?
This seems to be very similar to the PR stunt/contest the canadian backpack maker used about a year ago. If i rememebr correctly it generated quite a stir. I can't seem to dig up the name or URL of the company? was it ever cracked, did the contest work?
I wonder if this is a sly way for Micro$oft to gain entrance to the Hardware Market... maybe with a system like Nintendo's famicom? It will be interesting to see how this compares to the hyped playstation 2

Yubnub was a railsday entry. Pretty neat what can be done in mostly one day.
It will be interesting how rails handles under the slashdot load.
I whipped up a google maps hack of geolocation of Illinois registered sex offenders: http://demon.dopeman.org/sexOffenders/ It was amazingly easy.
I used all of the tutorials and shit that the rancidbacon peeps created. made it rather simple. actually delightful.
now if i was only mapping locations of something cool.. rather than depressing things.
stupid maps.

BTW the audrey rules..
I was searching for mainly pictures, and i found the following:

http://pr.fujitsu.com/en/news/2001/09/10.html - a generic article with a picture. Discusses specs.
