For my thriteenth birthday, my dad bought me a Tamiya Fast Attack Vehicle R/C. Lotsa fun. Well after some time playing wiith r/c we got this silly idea to make one full size. He bought an old vw clunker from a scrap yard. We used a Magnum Futaba radio. Micro reciever, and one large servo for steering, ( over 10 lbs throw ) our lifesized r/c lacked power steering. And two smaller servos for brakes and gas. The whole thing was done for under $1500 including the auto. The giant servo was the most expensize item.
When it was finally done we took it to the local r/c airfield/ which is an auxiliary naval airstrip. and turned it loose. That thing was fun to drive. Sometime later we were at an r/c plane fly/in, this guy had mounted a small video camera inside the cockpit of his plane. And had a feed to a small RCA handheld tv he had strapped to his radio. He flew the thing from that alone.
This got me to thinking, and I would really like to do the same kind of thing but add airspeed , heading, and altitude indicators in sort of a headsup display.
Anyone ever try this?
I am sure that they are also developing the new software that plugs the proverbial Social Engineering brain defecit that some users inherently posses.
Makes you think huh?
I recently made the jump from Windows to Linux. I chose SuSE 8.0 Server Pro. I was completely amazed with it`s features and how easy it was to set up a dual boot machine. The YAST2 module took all the guess work and newbie blahs out of the whole install. I am of course still learning what all the whistles and bells are, but hey I was awkward with Windows at first also. I can`t wait to try out the update though.
To anyone who is thinking of dumping Windows or just looking for an alternative, I suggest Linux as that alternative. SuSE was the right choice for me, but there are other choices out there.
Thanks to the whole Linux community for the help. I look forward to bieng a part of this community for many years to come.
Last I heard it was not a crime to putt around anyones neighborhood, whether you lived there or not. So what, if you just happen to have a laptop and a wireless network device. I haven`t heard of anyone bieng arrested for posessing network gear. Unless it was stolen! Is a cop really gonna bust you for wardriving? I think not. It`ll be the old skateboarding thing, where your told that even though it is public property, and you technically can be there that what your doing is potentially damaging and/or disruptive. Who cares!
I've been tryin for months to get my wine install to do anything but shut down after a command line is entered. I'll stick with dual boot till games are released for Linux.

DoH!!!
When the robot I can buy to send to work in my place for me will be on the market!
SuSE 8.0 Server Edit came with the full Star Office. I wonder why they changed that?
