I think he's half right. Either the company is intelligent yet ethically challenged, in that they know that they are violating the GPL yet do not care, or they are ethically sound but intellectually challenged, in that they don't know they're controverting the license. I believe one of these scenarios is the case.
If an emulator were using this as a post-emulation filter, collision detection would still work just as well. The emulated system has no idea anything is being vectorised.
Alltel? Seriously? Take it from someone who has sold cell phones for every major carrier (and most of the smaller ones): There is a reason why Alltel sold so cheap to Verizon. They're basically just a Verizon MVNO nowadays. Somewhere around 75-80% of their coverage base is supplied by-- ding, Verizon O&O towers.
If you're shopping for a cell phone contract on price alone nowadays, you should be buying Sprint. $69.99 for unlimited data, messaging, and calling to every mobile phone in America. No, I'm not a corporate rep-- anymore. Just like I'm no longer a corporate rep for AT&T, USCellular, or anyone else. Stay informed, people.
(No, I'm not going to knock Verizon. I'm not a fan of them, but they have better coverage than anyone, at least out west where I'm at. They're expensive, but in certain places, you get what you pay for.)
Say what you will about Microsoft, but if the original VLM was addicting enough to make me actually want to hunt down a Jaguar and Jaguar CD, then I think I'll be more than willing to pick up an Xbox 360. Once the price goes under $200, of course.
One more thing: have any of you ever spent any time with an Xbox? The company may be a piece of trash, but their hardware design is, in my experience, immaculate. I'm still using a Microsoft mouse from.. God, must be 1995 or something. The thing just won't die. I have a feeling the Xbox could have the same roach-like lifespan.
My Newton can talk. Specifically, a MessagePad 2100, although the 2000 will talk too, and I think the 130 might as well.
All you need to do is install the MacInTalk extension, and bam, speaking Newton.
Can your friend write at all, or is that a no go as well?
...Metrowerks CodeWarrior series has been with us since the early PowerPC days...
Uh, I distinctly remember using CodeWarrior on my old Quadras, which were all 68k machines. I never really was a fan of Apple's MPW IDE, so yeah.
Just thought I'd point that out. Also, Mac System 7.5.5 forever and such.
If Apple could promise it would run well on a old Pentium III laptop, and/or an old dual Pentium II server (my two computers?
In a fucking heartbeat.
But, then, I'm a heretic like that.
According to the official website, it looks like pretty much everyone is on board (including the techologically notoriously-slow Indy Racing League), except for Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART).
Kind of surprising, that, knowing how fast CART usually jumps on technology, especially if it "enhances the fan's experience".
Should be fun at the next local IRL race, though.
And since it has to be said: OMG THIS SHOULD BE FUN TO HACK.:p
actually, as soon as i saw this post, i thought eBookMan. probably because i have one in my front pocket as we speak.
i got mine for a grand total of $30, (clearance at OfficeMax after it was discontinued) and have been almost completely impressed. it's small, it's thin, it has a huge, beautiful screen (even though it's only 160x160), and the jog wheel sells it. in my opinion. Franklin even wrote Linux sync utils for it, which is more than can be said for almost anything else.
my only two caveats: 1. the handwriting recognition blows. badly. but then, the eBookMan isn't a PDA, really; it's a book reader that happens to sync with Outlook. 2. it uses MMCs, and not SDs, which are getting more and more difficult to find lately. luckily, the top-of-the-line model (the EBM-911, which i have) has 16MB internal, which is plenty.
on a related note: i've yet to see a problem with the battery life. with a good pair of NiMH AAAs, mine lasts for two days at a time.
i remember printing the R6 out and trying to put it together two or three years ago. i'm sure it's still floating around here somewhere.. heck, maybe i'll try again.

Considering the ECU is, most often, mounted in the engine bay, both are temperatures the controller could experience.

Newtons sold here. Speech extensions here.

i'd guess you're talking about the Twiddler. Google it; MIT's Wearable Computing lab loves the thing, for starters.
