Ah, but if you use the hack that I found in a/. discussion (see my journal for a writeup on it), it won't make it.slashdot.org into just plain slashdot.org - it'll make it hireadesigner.slashdot.org, which isn't valid, and therefore behaves as just plain/., but shows up in their logs.
That one probably won't work in non-Moz browsers. I'm using Defuglify Slashdot, which works in all JavaScript browsers (I've even heard it works in Links - not that the primary feature would matter on a text-only browser (it would with links -g, though)). Bonus feature - if the page is static (for an example, Google for any/. article), and the page can otherwise be defuglified (slashdot.org won't work, but *.slashdot.org will), it'll make it not a static page.
See, we burn through paper. We're just smart to avoid the "it'll use less toner" advice, and stuff the printer with that WalMart crap when printing text.;-)
My old PagePro 1250W exclusively gets that stuff, and it doesn't seem to hurt quality (it's the Linux driver that does that).
BTW, looking at your site, and seeing as you prefer Safari, it might not play nice. You might need to use IE or Netscape/Moz. I use Opera on Linux, and it insisted on telling me that I had cookies disabled, even though they (and JavaScript) were enabled, and I even enabled all popups and spoofed as IE - no change. I got that link with an old copy of Netscape 4.8 that I put on to play around with it...
It's $8 a ream ($32.99/case), not $7. They don't say what the finish is on it, but on your HP laser paper they say it has an "ultra smooth" finish. I can tell at a touch OR glance the difference between this 28/108 stuff and the $2.47 Georgia Pacific 20/84 WalMart special.
I looked at the package to see if it's made for Staples by anyone, but it just says Staples...
I was referring to x86 second sourcers, not 8080 cloners. I think AMD actually started second sourcing in 1974, and I THINK it was the 8008 that they made (it might have been the 8080).
One flaw with (at least the unmodified) PV2 is that you can't take a photo, decide you'll take another one and see, and decide that the second was better without having both photos.
ISA = Industry Standard ARCHITECTURE, not Adaptor. I don't even know HOW you could put adaptor in there...
Now, back onto the jokes...
All I know is that I ditched an OS built on NT Technology a LONG time ago, and that my CPU unit is too old. Oh, yeah, and I don't have enough RAM memory. I've got two HDD drives, though, and an FDD drive.
Oh, and I bought a PCI interface USB bus controller. My ROM memory* JumpDrive works on it.
It actually only lets you use the LCD to see how many pics are remaining, learn how to use it, or review/throw away the LAST picture you took (and deleting that pic doesn't let you go back, so deleting 24 doesn't let you review/delete 23, or so I've heard). It's not on all the time.
16MB. Just to prevent any confusion, as 128Mb is technically right, but since we're used to referring to flash size in megabytes, not megabits... (the manufacturers refer to it in megabits)
However, the camera could make TWO images - the encrypted photo, and a non-encrypted thumbnail. Also, since only the last image is displayed, there only needs to be one thumbnail.
It's a DIGITAL camera. Flash memory. It's a plastic shell.
When you take a picture, you jab "Display" to see it. You can then choose to delete it. Display only shows the last picture, and delete, well, only deletes the displayed pic. There are a couple buttons inside the case that are believed to be forward and back buttons, though.
BTW, it's not as impressive on the Apple II, as it's a curses-style GUI, and the TCP/IP stack is implemented on the Ethernet card (there IS an A2 ethernet card that doesn't do that, but it costs $150 IIRC, so someone went the easy way out and offloaded the TCP/IP onto the card that ended up being used to get Contiki running on the A2).
Not when 25 pics is a hardcoded limit in the firmware of every Dakota Digital camera, 1.3 OR 2.0 megapixels...
It appears that the camera isn't really 2.0MP, anyway... it's just they resize the image to 2.0MP...
I remember having an Agfa camera that was 1024x768 (ePhoto 780, maybe?) There were two other models of camera that look IDENTICAL to it - one by Polaroid, and one no-name. The Polaroid was 640x480, IIRC, and the no-name was 640x480 interpolated to 1024x768. I'm suspecting that the Agfa was the same way (it was DISCONTINUED for about a year before the Polaroid OR the no-name came out).
Not really that much faster. While the 65C02 is available in up to 14MHz speeds, this is an 8502 (more commonly referred to as a 6502A). An 8502 is a 2MHz 6502, plain and simple.
BTW, why would the 6502 be under-powered? After all, a ~1MHz 6510 (not any more POWERFUL than the 6502) can run a multitasking GUI with web browser and TCP/IP stack.
I think a 4004 could almost do what this thing does... (albeit slowly)
Huh? The NexGen Nx586 was the first x86 RISC chip. The K5 was hardly a RISC chip. The K6, on the other hand, was very much a RISC chip (in fact, it was originally going to be called the Nx686 before AMD bought NexGen out).
Umm... there's a difference between 2nd source and clone.
Zilog's Z80 was a CLONE of the 8080. AMD WAS a second-sourcer until the Am486. Harris was a second-sourcer until the 386, at which point they dropped out. NexGen? I thought they made the Nx586 and Nx686 (released as the AMD K6), never any Intel chips under license. They were fabless, and used IBM. Cyrix? Same here. I thought they designed their own chips. They were fabless, though, so EVERY Cyrix chip was made by a CYRIX second-sourcer. IBM both designed their own chips (Blue Lightning) and was a Cyrix and NexGen second-sourcer, and is going to be a VIA second-sourcer at.09u. TI and ST were Cyrix second-sourcers. IDT designed their own chips (it could be argued that Centaur ran almost completely seperate from IDT, that Centaur was fabless, but was funded by and used the fabs of IDT, but it's a real stretch, as they WERE owned by IDT). VIA (well, Centaur) designs their own chips, and is fabless. They use TMSC for.13u, and will be using IBM for.09u. TMSC is a VIA second-sourcer. NEC was an Intel second-sourcer and designed their own chips (the V20 and V30).

Three words: Virtual Network Connection.

I'm going to set up a TightVNC server on my box so I can remotely access it and *ahem*browse*ahem* and work with stuff on it.

~$7/ream for 28lb 108br color laser paper at Staples... I've also heard that there's a 31lb Great White color laser paper that works nicely.
We've been FRAMING stuff off of our Minolta magicolor 2300DL on that Staples paper, and it gets decent prints on plain paper.
BTW, that's a company that remanufactures TONER carts. That's another story from ink carts.

16MB (IIRC), 25 pictures.
Also, from what I've heard, it'll be $40 to $50 in Disneyland.
Yes, it is Contiki on the C64.

25 pictures. It's been that way for every model, the "classic" blue, the PV2 blue, and the PV2 red (with LCD).
Argh... it's the Feature Request tracker (at least it's easily accessible from the bug tracker page)
Come to think of it, feature requests are via the SourceForge bug tracker... (shortcut to it is Bugs on the left side of any /. page)
Not really that much faster. While the 65C02 is available in up to 14MHz speeds, this is an 8502 (more commonly referred to as a 6502A). An 8502 is a 2MHz 6502, plain and simple.

When did the second-sourcers start? Remember, the 8086/8 didn't come out in 1981. The 8086 came out in 1978.
Ah, AMD started in 1979. I didn't get months on those, but it could be as much as 23 months...
Umm... there's a difference between 2nd source and clone.
