I tried installing it on a new Debian Woody (stable) installation, but it could not determine the module file name. I tried several options to point it to the kernel source and headers, but it didn't work. Eventually, I installed an older version using http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/index.php.
Does anyone know how to install this new version? I didn't even know it was this new, except for the distinct lack of hints that Google provides so far.
Take a look at the Lego bucket-like sets, that contain only basic building blocks. I have no idea how much they cost, but you can find out the full inventory of those sets on several websites, and I'd be surprised if you couldn't get a price quote on the internet either.
They're squarish bucket-like plastic containers vaguely in the shape of a Lego piece.
Of course, since I don't own any of those sets myself, I might be talking out of my ass here.
Yes! I still have Robotix sets! They had weird parts, but many electromotors, but it was all manually controlled, so not that interesting.
I also seem to vaguely remember that there might be a cartoon about it, but I can't recall any specifics.
And of course I also played with Mecano (or Meccano) (called Erector in the USA, I think). Those toys have been around under many different names over the years. I even have an Eastern European set that includes orange plastic parts to construct pretty cool vehicles. The set cost less than $15 USD at the time, which I found really cheap for such a large set.
It's a penny's worth of molded and tested to conform to the standards plastic.
Really. I must have thousands of Lego pieces, and they all fit together (except for those specialized pieces, of which I do have a few). That doesn't happen by accident.
Yeah. I used to look at the books that came with the more-or-less generic Technic sets, and they usually provided instructions for building a couple of things, and some pictures of other things built from the parts, and I saw it as a challenge to build those things just by looking at the picture. That, I think, also encourages you to think of yet different things to build.
That last bit of your post, about it being possible to use fake CD-keys (aka serial numbers) sounds to me like the developers didn't choose a good serial number scheme.
For example, AFAIK, the serial numbers that come with Blizzard games, which you need to play online on Battle.net, are pretty damn hard to fake. You can find no-CD cracks for those games, but forget about keygenerators.
I could copy and use my backup discs of Starcraft/Broodwar without trouble, leaving the originals out of harm's way, without using a no-CD crack. They might have added CD-based copy protection to their games since then, but I do not know.
I used to love assembling lego things much more than playing with them! In fact, in kindergarten, where they had Lego, other kids played with the things I made!:-)
Lego has always been expensive in Europe too. You pay for quality. I've never had a missing part in a box, and never a piece that broken out of the box.
Yeah. I read some/. discussions about this stuff earlier, and it was made very clear that people had to file their claims themselves, and that claims filed through e.g. a website would not be processed, so this refusal to do so doesn't surprise me in the least.
Actually, communist countries were, and are in the case of North Korea, rather Orwellian, with citizens spying on other citizens. East Germany was infamous for that, for example.

What was that quote again? "Those who do not understand UNIX are doomed to reinvent it... poorly." ?
How do you decide to wake up? More importantly: why do you wake up at all? ;-)
Yeah, have you seen my stealth car lately? They can't measure its speed, but it's a bitch to parallel park.
Maybe because the compiler doesn't know where exactly the semicolon should have been placed?
And that's the price one pays for such rash actions.
The RIAA?
Shh! This is about computer stuff. It is different than normal stuff. More complex. See the new e-business patents.
;-)
Geez, don't you read Slashdot at all?
Since when is water an element?

Yes, my mom still has some really old Lego bricks (only in red, white, blue, IIRC), and they look pretty good for their age.
Only Lego still makes them like they used to.

Almost all of the objects at school fall in the "other people's stuff" category. So you're saying that kids shouldn't experiment in school at all?
That sounds entirely possible. Yet another reason to get rid of those open proxies everywhere.
Looks like one of us didn't take a look at the headers that a typically setup squid sends...
See? All you non-conspiracy nuts, there is a link between Microsoft and Ashcroft! They both got defeated by a dead opponent! ;-)

Hehheh. Send them that image that the ACs always link to, with the explanation that you accidentally put your money in there...
