Pinewood Derby Tips?

Ok, so some of us adults got tired of sitting on the sidelines and have had a few of our own "Adult Pinewood Derbies" to battle it out amoung parent couples teams (lots of fun). The following tips are from my experiences as an adult PWD car racer.
Important considerations that I haven't seen mentioned (or were not stressed):
1)Wheelbase - The longer the wheelbase the more stable the car will be and the less likely it is to rattle back and forth against the track guide. Don't use the nail slots that come pre-cut on the car. Cut your own very near the ends of the car to exend wheelbase and reduce "overhang". (for more on wheelbase and overhang issues do a google search for the "physics of racing" documents that are floating around on the net)
2) Get longer wheel nails. The ones supplied with the kit are short and easily dislodged by bumps and falls.
3) Polish the wheel nails (axles). Use jewlers rouge impregnated in a strip of cloth. Grip the nail in a vice and polish the running surface by doing the "shoe shine stroke" with the strip of cloth. Keep it up until it shines like a National guitar.
4) Use graphite only as your lubricant. Any liquid lubricant will increase drag.
4) de-burr the plastic wheels. Use the drill technique others have mentioned, but do it all carefully. The inside running surface of the wheels may need attention too, but that would be easy to mess up. Spin them on your polished axles to identify any burrs or flashing that needs to be removed. The wheels do not provide traction, so I see no reason to "rough them up". Ever seen train wheels? Smooth as glass = lowest rolling resistance.
5) Drive shims into the nail grooves to align the wheels so the car sits flat and tracks straight. This is critical. A car that pulls to one side grinds against the track guide and will lose every race. Do this carefully.
6) Use a weighting method that is adjustable. You want to be able to take your car to exactly 5.0 oz. and that means you are going to need to adjust your weights right to the limit at the weigh-in. Another racer and I tested and found that 0.2oz reduction in weight was all that was needed to change which of our two cars was consistantly faster. Remember, 5.0oz on your scale might be 5.1oz on the scale at the races so make your weighting adjustable and get it spot on 5.0oz on at the races.
Good luck and have fun. Make sure your son has the lead role in construction and racing. You are the consulting engineer there to give him the technology edge. He's the builder/racer. This can be a great father/son experience. My childhood PWD cars did ok (always placed, never won - until I was an adult), but my father and brother went all-out on my younger brothers regata boat. Razor-eged keel, baked/polished/waxed enamel paint, and a sail design that involved research, matterials testing, and calculus. It was so much faster than any of the other boats that 15 years later the two of them still laugh about it together.
For me the ultimate test was forcing some package installs and totally FUBARing my box, then managing to get to a console and doing an "apt-get -f install" and having apt-get magically fix all the things I broke. Thumbs up, Debian.
I thought it was going to be a discussion of micro-controller starter kits for kids.:(
Good greif people. Give the kids something educational AND fun. Not more video games.
You had no obligation to that former employer. They requested your services and you obliged. Now send them a bill for your time. That isn't being spitefull or vengefull. It's called comerce. They requested your services and you have a right to charge for it. You probably won't get paid but they'll get the message. Next time they call tell them up front that your rates are $65/hour durring business hours and $95/hour nights and weekends. If they don't like that they can call someone else. Don't bend over for them just because they ask you to! Being charitable and giving your time away for free is not a bad thing, but give it to those you choose to give it to (like non-profits or charities, or friends), but not to those who intimidate you into doing it. Stand up for yourself.

E-Mail Size Limits?

If you want to impose limits on what users can do, expect to be replaced sometime by a sysadmin that doesn't have those urges.
Admins don't put size limits on attachments because they just feel like it. They do it to keep the system up and running. Your statement is like saying that engineers who put weight limits on bridges should be replaced by engineers who don't have those urges. The end result is much worse than the inconvenience of appropriate limitations.
Don't forget to order the optional 9 second battery. 50% more life than the standard 6 second battery!
With the extended life battery you'll be able to view the entire splash screen before needing a recharge!
Come on people. If you want a red stapler paint it. If you want to be really hip you could powder coat it. Be creative - you don't have to settle for catalog choices. You'll never express your individuality by ordering off the same menu as the rest of the sheeple. You're going to have to roll up your sleeves and create some things on your own (or mod things someone else created). It's fun and rewarding. One-of-a-kind is always cooler than "first to buy it".
3rd world contries don't have 793 trillion stupid laws built up over hundreds of years of case-law by litigious people with too much time on their hands.
Oh, and by the way, South Africa rocks. My race car runs an aftermarket fuel-injection/igniton computer from South Africa. Why? Because it's less expensive than the ones from the US, Australia and Canada - and it's just as good.
I've read that most mobile phone plans in Europe bill the caller, not the mobile user on the recieveing end. I would LOVE this. "If you want to speak to me, YOU pay".
Anyone know of plans like this in the USA? Why isn't this widespread? I'd love to have a plan like that.
Run the linux equivalent (Driftnet) in a remote x-session on your linux gateway (w/ dislplay on your local desktop of course). You'll catch all the traffic.;)
I don't care what the percentage affected is. All I know is that mine is one of them!
I've worked for months trying to get DRI hardware accelleration working right. I can start any hardware-accelerated 3-d app and it will lock my system solid in about 4 seconds. All this time I thought it was a software problem. I can't even express how much wasted time and frustration has resulted from this.
One line added to lilo.conf and everything works now.

For an ISP to dictate this type of usage restriction is like the phone company making me sign an agreement stating that I will only use my phone to talk to certain groups of people and only about certain aproved topics of conversation. My phone line has certain usage and privacy restrictions. Basically they are that I can use my phone however the hell I want to, and as long as I'm not breaking the law the phone company is to mind their own business, provide me with a line and charge me for it.
As long as the ISP isn't being abused by the subscriber, and the subscriber isn't breaking the law, then they should just butt out. If they want a more successfull business they should focus on efficiency and growth, not extorting more money from the current subscriber base by dictaing how the service will be used.
When using apt there are three primary factors affecting the success of the opperation.
1) Apt & it's ability to direct traffic.
2) The quality of the packages being installed, be they.deb,.rpm, or otherwise.
3) The quality of the "packages" files on the server you are retreiving packages from.
Apt will not work well if items 2 and 3 are poor. Garbage in == Garbage out. If high-quality packages are used, and the server they are on maintains accurate and up-to-date "packages" list files (where apt gets detailed info about the packages available for download) then apt will work very well. If you are still having dependancy problems with apt then it is likely that items 2 or 3 above are the root of the problem. If the food tastes bad you don't blame the plate.
I love hacking cars. Saddly here in the USA there is less of a modern-car hacking cultrure. In the USA we've *mostly* got old hot-rodders with carbed V8's, and kids with big-wing/big-exhaust otherwise-stock imports. Not many people are doing MODERN performacne hacking, but there are some.
Many other countries have a real strong culture in this area though. For an example, go to Autospeed, an Australian site where they post weekly articles about auto performance and electronics hacking. Australia is a real hot-spot for this stuff. It doesn't matter that the auto manufacturers are making more complex and advanced products - it just promotes the creation of more brilliant hacks.
If you're interested in programable engine management, adding electonic accessories, etc. all you have to do is dig a little and you'll find a whole world of resources. Just like Tivo, DirectTV, Audrey, or anything else - If you build it people will hack it.
I can't believe all the short sighted hecklers posting sarcastic relpies to this! Are you morons?
Whether you're talking about a portable mp3 player, a wearable computer, or whatever the embedded application, can't you see the usefullness of being able to plug it into any computer usb port and have instant access to the file system? Here's one scenario: You have this linux-based mp3 player. You take it to work in the morning and plug it into your office pc where winamp accesses your mp3's to play through your pc sound system while you work. At the end of the day you copy the project you have been working on to the mp3 player hard disk. On the way home you stop at a friend's house and let him hear one of the new mp3's you've got. He want's a copy so you plug the player into his pc and copy the file over to his hard drive. He doesn't have broadband so you also leave him the latest 'what's cool' ISO so he can burn a copy (Hey you've got a 5gig drive on this thing, why not cary some cool stuff around) Then you go home and plug the player into your own pc and download the project you brought home from work.
If you are talking about some other embedded application it could still be very usefull. The nice thing about it would be that you can plug the thing into any pc and have instant access to the files.
I am very sorry that your equipment was damaged, but you made some very fatal mistakes.
1) Posted in the UPS center where you shipped your equipment are guidelines for packing matterial and minimum crush-strength box matterial for various size/weight packages. Looking at your pictures I can see that your box did NOT meet those guidelines. I can see this just by looking at the pictures.
2) Insurance for your package would have cost $0.35 per $100. That's only $10.50US to insure your shipment for $3,000. I called and verified this for a Canada-to-US shipment.
3) Remember: Your package rides conveyor belts, slides down shutes, is loaded and unloaded on delivery vans, tractor-trailers, and train cars. It travels thousands of miles along with 10's of thousands of other packages some of which may weigh as much as 177lb's and somebody's pakcage has to be on the bottom of the stack. That's the reality of it.
Here are my suggestions:
1) Buy the insurance (duh!!!!)
2) Pack your stuff like it's going to be air-dropped. You know the packaging your G4 came in? That's how you SHOULD have packed it. If you had it would still be fine. There is a reason a new Dell comes in a box strong enough to support a VW.
There is a reason UPS and other shippers have those packing guidelines posted. And the reason they offer insurance is for the people who don't read the shipping guidelines. Sometimes packages that are done right do get damaged, but not often.
Shippers dont' intentionally harm your packages. The damage most likely occured durring transit in a tractor-trailer or box-car. The employees don't kick and drop packages. They just don't. UPS is VERY consious of this. If you are seen intentionally damaging a package you are FIRED ON THE SPOT. I saw a guy get a written warning for dropping a package just 6 inches. I saw another guy get fired for eating a jolly-rancher candy that fell out of a damaged package.
I'm sorry your equipment was damaged. I know you are upset and I know it sucks when this sort of thing happens. I hope my comments will help you avoid having this happen to you again.
TIP: if you want to ship something and absolutely insure it's safety, ship it in a hard plastic cooler. They come in all sizes and are the most indistructible thing you'll ever find. People ship fragile scientific instruments back and forth in GOTT coolers (with the lits taped down) all the time and they never get damaged. I know you can't get a mid-tower pc in one, but I just thought I'd mention it.
I hate the trailers anymore too. They just give away to much. I liked the way movies like "Unbreakable" and "Sixth Sense" were promoted - those trailers didn't even give you enough info to know what the movie was about - THANK GOODNESS!
But I hate the way many films are promoted, like "Castaway" for example. Before you even went it to see the film you knew he worked for FedEx, that he crashed at sea, that he made it to an island, that he lived there, that he was rescued, and that he got on with his life. It was a wonderful movie but they took away all the suspense. I hate that.
...and, in addtion to that each book has a mystery bad guy. You think you know who it is, but you are wrong. Every time. First book, second book, third book, fourth book...
Kids love these books because they are about children who conquer challenges in the face of adversity. Adults like them because they make them feel like kids again. The adventures are fun and my whole family enjoys the books together....and we liked Harry Potter before Harry was cool (my wife's a teacher).
The books are not 'superb literature', but they are very fun and well worth the time and money.
If you choose not to read them because they are "for kids" then it's your loss. I feel pitty for anyone who thinks that "fun is just for kids". Read them with your wife/kids, or kids, or girlfriend - you'll have fun together.
I'm sorry. Microsoft does not have Bash. However, you can instlall the cygwin tools and you will then be able to Bash on Microsoft. And since your Bash isn't made by Microsoft your Bash won't crash.
I was thinking about doing exactly the same thing!
Ok, so how did you configure mgetty to do this?
I was thinking about combining mgetty and my voice modem to pick up "private" calls and play a message such as "This number does not accept solicitations or private calls. Place this number on your do-not-call list." (click)
The problem is that most of the telemarketer calls I get show up as "unavailable" and so do a lot of legitimate long-distance calls (like from Mom&Dad/sisters/brother)
My mgetty picks up all calls after the 5th ring. That's enough time for me to get to the phone if I'm home and short enough to still be fine for dialing in when I'm away.
Since Canada got first crack at Enterprise, did any of you DivX it? Some of us with no UPN access are dying to see it. Is it in the wild yet? Where would one look? Anyone?... Rah, Rah, we love Canada.
