    Wow! Those 80/20 parts are cool. I didn't see any pricing on the site, though.

    Nice advertisement, anonymous!

  13. Re:Aardman on Despairing of Pixar · · Score: 1

    I heard the Peter Gabriel video was unpaid work. Awesome, groundbreaking, but done for free for the priviledge of working with Peter Gabriel. True or false?

  14. Re:Dual Processor! on China Launches Linux-Based Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Any thoughts on the best low-cost ($50) embedded Linux platform out there?

  15. Re:Robotics platforms on Small Form Factor Comparison Matrix · · Score: 1

    According to a fascinating article at TechNewsWorld , Linux is poised to play a centrol role in an emerging industry that many expect to overtake the PC industry in size: robotics. Japan is currently driving robot innovation, according to the article, impelled by a looming labor shortage. Consumer robots like the Sony Aibo and Honda Asimo make headlines, but ubiquitous, cheap, and practical utility robots are what most Japanese robot makers are focused on, and "carmaker Honda believes that robots will become its most important business," according to the article.

    What are you using to measure IDE performance?

  23. Re:Pixar on Disney Does Digital, Ditches Drawings · · Score: 1

    Pixar has been around for a _long_ time. The original team was responsible for some of the very first computer effects work in a major film (the Star Trek movie "Genesis" effect) back when they worked for Lucas. As an independent company, Pixar for years struggled developing new technology and developing techniques through a variety of shorts ("Luxo Jr.", etc) and commercials (LifeSavers, Listerine) and developing software to set an industry standard (RenderMan). They are a 20 year "overnight success".
