It'd take some serious electrical and/or mechanical work, because the Mindstorms control brick (last I checked) only has three ports for sensors et cetera; well, actually, you could probably do the input with Morse code.
From there either use an alternate OS to show the result on the screen, or else use the motors somehow to run a mechanical display.
There oughtn't be any licensure involved. A license is a contract, and contracts must be written.
Copyright applys, and there shouldn't be any issue there with making for oneself a backup...it's just like photocopying a couple pages of a book so you don't have to keep digging about for your original.
I wouldn't really say that Apple or Steve Jobs could be described as "selling Pepsi," unless you count...what....a few hours' worth of Objective-C to handle the code system Pepsi wanted in exchange for a $100,000,000 check.
I wonder why it is that in this kind of Ask Slashdot thread, pen-and-paper elitism always gets marked as insightful. In my experience, nothing outperforms a laptop computer, except a PDA if that's more your style. If you have the money to consider a portable computer (which you do, if you start a thread asking what kind to get), the only excuse to use paper is if the professor has an aversion to anything else...or you genuinely take better notes on paper. Under any circumstances, if you are getting a computer for college, a laptop is the way to go...if only for the conservation of desk space.
I use mine for college notes and stuff (including all my papers etc). Never crashes, runs MS Office (main thing you'll find yourself using) better than any machine I've ever seen. It's not a tablet, so you'll have to type, but that removes any odds of illegibility...besides, who can resist this?
Do you want Linux video editing or just non-Windows video editing? Right now, Mac OS X is probably the best operating system for video editing, simply because of the software that works on it: iMovie (good for most purposes), Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro, and Avid.
Pretty good book. Covers the C++ language, though it talks an awful lot about UML flowcharts and the like -- okay if that's your style, but for my purposes, farting about with pseudocode and flowcharts is more difficult than writing the damn code in a real language -- at least Applescript, and usually C++.
That's why you should burn CDs of all online music purchases, which you can always rip to your favorite format. Currently there is no way to embed DRM in the song itself such that it persists when an audio CD is recorded.
False. It strikes me that Buymusic has different restrictions on different products, and these differ from the same on Napster. That's why I use iTunes or just go to Amazon: either uniform DRM or none at all:)
Thankfully, it seems like the DRM on music downloads is pretty much decent -- if you're talking iTunes and Napster, which are the only current services that will probably be around in a year anyway. The likes of Buymusic have more draconian restrictions, but look where they are.
I fail to see where any claims of music licensure on CD purchasing come from.
*looks at recent Jimmy Buffett CD*
Small copyright notice in the fine print. Nothing about licensure, so it's under standard copyright.
I believe he meant for internal use. IBM makes the G5 processors, and OS X has many of the advantages of Linux, but candidly, Linux is more likely for IBM internal use.
Apple builds outside, but they seem to do most of their R&D in America. Dell, in my experience, does just the opposite excepting their apparent comparatively low amount of R&D: they do their construction in Round Rock, but more or less stick together the innovations of others. The last thing Dell actually invented that I can recall is their business model. And new ways (e.g. flaps) for a computer to collect dust bunnies unbeknownst to the owner.

I think he resumed a normal salary a couple years back, when he dropped "interim"
Actually, the computer cn't understand zero and one as such; the actual concept is closer to "yes" and "no"

Which is to say that if it can be ported there, a port to Linux would not be difficult for the likes of IBM.

One computer only, unlimited burns.

Might not be perfect, but what harm can come from it? Seems inexpensive enough...
Well, I guess Theo got hit by the reductionism bug...or perhaps what he means is "At least the system goes down rather than being compromised"
Cable TV down 3-4 times per week? You may need to have your wiring checked.
Easy. They want some free music, and everyone is conditioned these days to feel sorry for independent musicians (a.k.a. "starving artists"), so....
Well, he's a Final Cut fan, and he sits on the board of Apple, so he probably uses OS X.
I think that's a standard spare DHCP; hell, my Airport Extreme gives out 10.0.1.x by default. Standard DHCP/NAT thingummy.

Actually, Slashdot DOES carry Microsoft advertisements.

Shortness of breath? I seemed to recall that it causes rather the opposite, almost like a weaker relative of albuterol.
