I sold someone a cherry VW Beetle I restored and they made it into a dune buggy
Ack! Now that is a crime! I had something similar happen with a good-condition '74 Monte Carlo - found it in the junkyard gutted a month later. So much for Mr. "I'm going torestore it" that I sold it too!
Maybe you could mod in a usb port into the can so you could sync it without opening it (I didn't see if that was possible in the Flickr set)
Not only is that possible, but it is a great idea! Right now, you just un-do the back clip and tilt the top up to get at the back of the iPod.
Well, I was pretty wrong then! If that is the case, the test-source must have been removed - I would get a fairly regular reading that matched background radiation - but never anything higher when putting the probe next to the location where the test-source should have been.
Regarding the "waste" - these are fairly common and not in short supply from surplus houses.
It did require some skill to make it a clean fit, but the geiger counter case was so large, I can't really consider it a technological feat to have done this.
Neither do I, and I'm the one that did it! It was a quick late-entry for a Mod Contest. Plus, try scratching my iPod in this case!
Eh. Seems some people like it. Although, I don't know that I was really "retrofitting" anything. More just making an odd case for it...
Plus, those old geiger counters are a dime-a-dozen on eBay - not like it is a historical artifact or anything.
This is really getting out of hand. For every case like this we hear about, I wonder if there are a few that get swept under the rug?
Now, I generally frown on lawsuits, but this is one type of case where it works. The people on these lists need to start filing class action lawsuits against these companies. Large corporations only feel something when they lose money, maybe it would send the message that you will be held accountable if you do not take security seriously.
As we all know, nothing is as valuable as our information.
Tsk, Tsk. What a terrible Son that won't respect the wishes of his Father.
Everyone cries about how Parents aren't doing their job anymore, yet when a law comes around that will possibly help Parents to restrict what they think (and yes, Parenting is about raising your kids with the values YOU think are important) are too violent for their kids.
Now sure, there will be plenty of kids that download the games, are have a friend burn them a copy - but you bet your ass that when that kid gets caught with the game I just said he couldn't have - his internet connection is going to disappear.
In fact, I like this even more because it frees the game developer to make even more violent/sexual games with the knowledge that they can just say "Oh, this is R rated. So you can stop trying to get this banned, its not for kids.".

OP: "I've got Tentacle Hentai or Squid Sushi." /.: "Oh, oh, that's just gross. Disgusting, really, just...wow..." /.: "I'll take the Tentacle Hentai."
200ft is pretty easy. The new ROV that I am building will be able to do 250ft-500ft. Maybe it'll get slashdotted like the first one did...
Troll? That's hilarious! I wish I had MOD points today...
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Buying a sawed off shotgun, welding spikes to the front of my SUV and leading raiding parties on Gasoline Tanker-Trucks. You?
Creative? Depending on the cost difference, I would rather sell the UMD on eBay. Now, if the UMD/DVD bundle is $50 - that's a different story...
Oh, see, I didn't know you knew them both well enough to say this. Just out of curiosity, why does Melinda Gates do it then?
Why? What has Torvalds done that even come close to camparing to Gates or Jobs? Seriously, I am curious...
In other news, Ann Coulter is 1/8 Cherokee. Nothing to do with ancestry, she ate a fucking Indian.
No, seriously, que?
Hey, I wear that badge with pride!!

BTW - Glad you like it!
The test source should only register as 2 mr/hr, not pegging the meter. It is not Cesium or Uranium though.
I may just have to add speakers at a later date - would increase the functionality a bit, eh?

I did have to desolder all the wires from the remote, nothing big, but there was some work involved...

It was actually for a modding contest and I wanted to do something just plain odd...
IT WAS A JOKE.
Where are all the follow-up jokes like "If you ran it on Windows it would just tell you to install Linux" and the like?
Anyone else haveing problems getting this to run on Windows XP?

Pretty sure it is right around USD $2,500.
