If you want to save yourself a lot of effort, do it on x86 hardware. You don't have to own it, just connect to somebody elses box.
BUT if you absolutely have to do it the hard way, then there are two things you need to address.
1. Assembling the code. Assemblers are much more lightweight than compilers. And there are probably hundreds of x86 assemblers of various qualities out there. You probably don't have to mess around with building a GCC toolchain. You can probably find the source code for an x86 assembler and compile it on OS X. If not, then just run the assembler under your x86 emulator.
2. Running the code. I think by defintion, any hardware or software that executes x86 machine code is technically an x86 CPU or emulator. Bochs, or Wine ought to work well and are both free. But there really is no getting around having either x86 hardware or emulation capabilities.
After four seasons they were already heavily recycling jokes. I love futurama but I don't think it really has any mileage left. Be happy with the DVDs.

Woz didn't really do much work at all on the Mac, he was mostly an Apple II guy. Jobs is a suit, not a beard, and so obviously did no real work in creating the Mac.
Even though you have a window, you'll find that shade loving (or at least shade tolerating) species will do best. I seriously doubt that you can not find any information on growing indoor plants other than weed on the web, get real. That aside, here are some suggestions: Ferns, look nice, filter the air, easy to grow, love shade. African violets, small, don't require frequent watering so they won't die over weekends or vacations, don't mind shade. They don't bloom often, but they look nice even when they aren't in bloom.
As an SL-5500 owner, I can tell you that the battery life sucks. 3 or 4 hours of use, a couple of days on standby, tops. Less with WiFi. It's too bad because other than that, it's a great device. The newer zaurii are much better in this department but out of your price range. Some of the older iPaq's have pretty good Linux support, I'm not sure about specifics. You're probably going to ahve to do some of your own research on this. Try google.
Actually the pictures you take are ONLY stored on T-Mobile's servers (well technically Danger Inc.'s servers). The version you see on your phone is a low res (not that the pics aren't low res anyway) preview.
DING! BRITISH PETROLEUM! The big oil companies that want to stay in business have already begun embracing solar technology. The rest will die out. That's called capitalism.
Also, why wouldn't the government be interested in this? You could build much better spy satellites, solar powered surveylance aircraft, all kinds of neat stuff.
I did a google and I really didn't come up with much, I can't beleive nobody has started a robosapian fighting league yet! If you could come up with a good real time control system...
Are these things controllable from a PC or other computer?
Most (all) ISPs have a blurb about not disclosing personally identifiable information in their service contract. If that's there, they can't really in good faith cooperate voluntarily like you describe, unless the user agrees to an amended contract.
Elektra tries to provide a universal, hierarchical, fast and consistent namespace and infrastructure to access configuration parameters through a key-value pair mechanism. This way any software can read/save its configuration/state using a consistent API.
How is this any different from the Windows registry, one of it's most hated "features"?
I've been using my Fujitsu Lifebook P5000 1GHz P-M for a few months now, and I have to say I don't really notice the performance difference when it clocks down. It's still perfectly useable. The only time I really notice it is when I'm compiling or something, and even then it's pretty fricking fast IMO. People are spoiled by fast CPUs nowadays, consarnit.
What do you mean by "not "with it" enough to consent"? I'm not talking about a situation where the victim is passed out cold, thats a pretty obvious case of taking unfair advantage of someone. But you don't have to be passed out to be legaly drunk. I'm talking about a case where someone has had a few drinks and is still perfectly "with it" but does something they might not have done if they were perfectly sober, then blames the other party. Should you have to give your date a fucking breathalyzer before you try to score with them? And who says the same thing can't work the other way, if I have a few drinks at a bar and pick up a girl drinking soda, can I later call rape on her?
He has not been sentenced yet, the key is "up to" 15 years. Maybe he does deserve it, I don't know. You really can't compare software piracy to rape. The law's point of view (not necessarily mine) is that the individual caused tremendous financial harm to the affected companies, which in turn harms it's employees, shareholders, and customers.
Violent rapists should obviously be punished severely. But what about cases where both individuals were drunk but it's somehow the man's fault because the woman was too drunk to say no?
Anyway you just can't compare the two.
Microcontroller + USB UART + hacking
on
A USB Typewriter?
·
· Score: 1
Hack the typewriter, figure out how the signals work, wire them into a microcontroller (I recommend Microchip Inc's PIC line), connect the microcontroller to the USB port either using a USB UART or a USB->serial converter if you're lazy. Write some software. Done.
Some of the PICs have a builtin USB UART. The downside to this approach is you have to write a device driver on the computer end of things. On Linux you can hack up one of the drivers that comes with the kernel, on windows you'd have to use the MS driver development kit, there may be another way that I am not aware of. If you use a PIC or other microcontroller with an external USB->serial chip, it will appear as a USB serial port when you plug it in and normal serial port programing techniques will suffice.
If you really want to get fancy you should use the USB UART method and write a printer driver for it so you can print to it from any normal app. I have no idea how Linux printer drivers work though, in my experience they don't. work.
Portage 2.1 to adopt RPM format for LSB compliance
In what will likely prove to be a controversial decision, Portage 2.1 will adopt the RPM format for all packages moving forward. The use of ebuilds will be deprecated in favor of the defacto RPM standard. The primary driver for this decision was to ensure compliance with the Linux Standard Base specification, which mandates RPM support for package management.
The developers have been hard at work to make this migration as easy as possible. Already a proof-of-concept ebuild2rpm script is in place and being tested by a pilot group of developers. Unfortunately, because of the architectural differences between the two formats, some features will not be supported once Gentoo moves to RPM. USE variables are one such feature; sandbox security is another. However, the added benefit brought about by full LSB compliance should far outweigh the loss of these two minor features.
Additionally, because of LSB's required library support, the xfree86 package will move to become part of the base Gentoo Linux system, rather than an optional addition. Users interested in learning more about the Linux Standard Base should read the LSB FAQ or the full LSB 1.3 specification.
Note: This is an April Fool's joke.
The differences between Linux distros are what make Linux a vibrant community and drive innovation. I hope the LSB project fails miserably to remove those differences.
You may have an oddball USB controller that isn't enabled by default in most kernels, even though it probably IS supported by 2.6.
Do you have "assign IRQ to usb" or "usb dos mode" or whateever turned on in your BIOS?

That's bullshit.

And other times they're hard workers that are justifiably frustrated by how fucked up their company is.
yeah or a check or a money order or a travelers check. I mean really, WTF kind of question is this anyway?

Go on the ARRL Hamfest Calender and find the soonest closest hamfest in your area, bring the stuff there and sell it yankee trader style.
Alternatively, ebay might be good for some stuff. Use the "search completed items" feature to see what if any of it will actually sell.
Alternatively alternatively you could try to find a local ham who will take it off your hands.
Good luck!

Home users won't give a shit, they want appliances that just work, not computers.
Power users obviously won't want it.
(Smart) Corporations will not want run machines in their infrastructure that they do not have complete control over.

Shouldn't that be "echo 600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setsp eed"?
