Yup, they left out the dock ($39), the A/V cable ($19), and the firewire cable ($19). That's $77 of accessories. Plus, what good is the photo if there is no way to output to a TV?
Worcester Polytechnic Instute offers a B.S. degree in "Interactive Media and Game Development". The program is jointly administered by the Computer Science Department and Humanities and Arts Department, and focuses on both the technical and artistic sides.
It will tag wavs, but it will by default only tag music files between 2 and 10 mb, so your windows sounds are safe. However, these file size limits are configurable in the options.
Not quite. This mission was more stuffing the old ('01) instruments into a new frame. Because of the similarities between the '98 and '01 landers, the '01 mission was shelved until a more robust lander could be built to house some of the orphaned projects (as well as some new stuff).
Why not go all the way and sponsor a local FIRST Robotics team?
The FIRST Robotics Competition is an exciting, multinational competition that teams professionals and young people to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive way. The program is a life-changing, career-molding experience--and a lot of fun. In 2004 the competition will reach more than 20,000 students on over 900 teams in 27 competitions.
Yes, you will spend 6 weeks out of the year without sleep, spending all night in the shop getting the robot ready, but it's a blast!
You can install anything to a SD card by selecting "Install to Card". Alternatively, you can install anything to ram using a program such as RAMDisk.
Palm uses a very efficient database file system, and they don't want it cluttered up with your MP3 files (just look at the problems they had with the T5 when they tried to allow any files to be stored in RAM).
You can easily replace Graffiti 2 with Graffiti 1 on any OS5 handheld other than the Treo 650 and the Tungsten T5.
Just download Graffiti1.zip from http://zansstuff.com/palm, read the instructions in how_to.txt carefully, and you will soon be up and running with Graffiti 1 again.
All the RIAA would need to do to bring this down is offer a bounty, say $20 or $50, for people to invite them to some of the larger rings. Boom, down it goes. It sounds like your goal here is that it will keep the RIAA out because no one is friends with the RIAA. However, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
Except the Canesta projects a static image using the same type of holographic filters that come with the $2 laser pointer you can buy from your local ice cream truck. It is essentially a laser slide-show. Projecting a dynamic image is much, much harder.
* Never get the two latest models. For example, if I were getting a Pentium 4, I would skip the 3.4GHz and 3.2Ghz and go with the 3GHz.
* Never upgrade if the old thing works unless the new thing is two times as good. If I have an 80GB drive, I won't upgrade until a 160GB drive fits in my budget. If I have an AthlonXP 1700+, I'll wait for the 3400+. The only exception to this rule is screen size.
* Never buy a new gadget unless it solved two problems for you. For example, I bought a digital camera because I needed a compact camera for snapshots and because I needed a webcam for video-conferencing.
The problem is that the heat sink has to dissipate the heat from the CPU and the heat from the peltier itself. Lets say that, for example, the peltier used 20 watts to get that 20C (a real peltier would use MUCH more). This means that the heat sink has to dissipate an additional 20 watts, and as you said, this means that the temperature of the heat sink rises. Lets say it rises 20 degrees. Now, you have your 20 degree difference bringing your CPU temp to 100C, right where you started. All you have done is waste power and heat up your case.
In reality, a peltier would require a larger heatsink than a bare chip in order to make the chip cooler, since you are dissipating the heat from both the peltier and the CPU.
The real advantage of the peltier is its ability to cool the CPU below the case temperature, but doing so requires a very large heatsink (or something more serious like water cooling).
Like all touchpads (and touchlamps as well), the device measures a change in capacitance (Synaptics calls it Capacitive Position Sensing). Each section of the wheel (divided by the lightning-bolt lines) can be measured individually, so it knows which section your finger is on. From that, it is pretty easy to figure our how fast your finger is moving.

Even better is the 300k animated gif on their front page (which you can shift-reload to your heart's content).

Yes, unless UDP is blocked as well.
Many people, especially those on certain univeristy or corporate networks, cannot use BitTorrent.
You're right. I knew '98 was wrong, since they landed in '99, so I jumped ahead one launch window. I forgot that they arrived the next year.
Oops, Polar Lander was 2000, not '98.

Yes, but the funny thing is that much of this mission is being done by the University of Arizona... in Tuscon.

And if you read the fine print at the bottom, it says "Requires expansion card, sold seperately".
I have 512MB of mp3s on a card on my Tungsten E, and it works great. Plus, if you don't want to buy a card, you can use PalmRAMDisk.

Check with you local library, they may be able to give you a password for logging in to the journal link in the article. I know mine did.
He was testing strips of low density polyethelene (probably a strip cut out of a plastic grocery bag).

White is not a frequency! White, as seen by our eyes, is a combination of three distinct frequencies.

Last time I was there, the Meccano Tic-Tac-Toe computer was living in the lobby of the Boston Museum of Science. Quite impressive to see.

Not opaque, just translucent, which wouldn't do the job (although motorized curtains sold for home theaters would).
