I made an adapter for my SNES controller that hooks up to the parallel port. The parallel port method seems much easier, any idiot with a soldering iron could make it. I can't find the diagram for the one I made, but this is similar. I don't understand why you would make a NES controller adapter, the SNES controller is almost exactly the same with the added benefit of being able to play SNES games.
For those of you who liked Populous there is a game called Powermonger that is a somewhat similar and fun game. You will probably need DOSBox to play it. Check out some of the other games on Underdogs they have a bunch of classics.
Teaching kids about copyright law, ok fine, nothing wrong with knowing what the law is.
Teaching kids the music industry's idea of copyright law, very, very bad idea.
Replying to my own post here, but what I meant to say is, is it really even possible (safely) have two people in a craft built to these specifications.
How many people can fly in an aircraft built to these specifications? I know a few years back I took a flight with a friend in his Ultralight (sp?) and he had a lot harder time getting it off the ground (we both way around 150 pounds) than he usually did.
My guitar amp, if turned up loud enough, makes clicking noises when I have a cell phone in the room, and it starts buzzing and clicking a few seconds before my cellphone rings. I wonder if this is related.
It's annoying because it does this even if the ringer is off (obviously), and has ruined more than a couple recording sessions.
A teenager was arrested early Wednesday in a California theater showing "Spider-Man 2" after a projectionist using night vision goggles saw him using a camcorder to make an illegal copy of the superhero sequel.
The PSA could help mission controllers on the ground, as well. The robot's onboard camera would allow it to handle teleconferences. A laser pointer could let ground people show astronauts exactly which button they want pushed.
Now if it just had a friggin laser, oh wait, nevermind.
Like the fictional tricorder, the PSA will have sensors that can detect the pressure and temperature of the ambient air, as well as concentrations of gases such as CO2. For astronauts living in a sealed aluminum can in the vacuum of space, this kind of information can be a matter of life and death.
I think the biggest problem is the fact that most people won't even know they are being "watched." ISP's have a habit of leaving these details in the extremely fine print. I don't expect them to have it in bold letters on the box, but...
I know back when I had dial-up I had to try several different ISP's because they all claimed to have an "unlimited hours" plan which in most cases was an all out lie. They would say something like the industry standard for "unlimited" is 250 hours (but I leave my connection on all the time).
Anyway, it seems when companies pull stuff like this they think no one is going to care (maybe they don't) or even notice, I doubt Google thought people would make such a big fuss about Gmail.
I mean, say you want to know all about Ninjas, well just type "ninja" in Google, hit "I'm feeling lucky" and bam, 100% accurate, documentable information.
Now if they had wireless and GPS they could track your every move, which would presumably be back and forth between your house and a store that sells batteries.

It isn't fixed in the 1.0PR, or at least this crashes my Firefox.
Oh great, one more thing for Marvin to complain about.
I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed, and my leg hurts too.
I believe Daikatana was used for a while as a blood pressure monitor, but it had disastrous results.

Hopefully this doesn't look anything like the last Nintendo headset I owned. Otherwise I doubt that I "won't look ridiculous."

Or like Snake Eyes
They usually look something like this.

Well at least it would be good exercise if you had one that big.

I can just imagine the doctor...
"hmmm... I put in a order for morphine an hour ago I wonder what is taking the robot so long."
I guess that is why arming these things is necessary.
But still funny

Here is another article about the PSA, I'd much rather have one of these than a PDA. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast23jul_
I wrote a paper for school on something like this, and also this a few years back, pretty interesting stuff.
didn't see Donnie Darko.
That program was great, if anyone is interested, you can still find it here. I imagine you can run it using DosBox on Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.

*shrug*
I think this technology would be better used for extortion. Just find a suitable model for your victim, skin it, and...
Bob: "Give me a raise or I will show everyone the picture of you flushing baby puppies down the toilet."
Phil: "But I never did that!"
