The distance between my pupils you say? Well dang, that's hard to modify. Try this. Focus on a remote mountain, tree, house, whatever. Then you stick your finger up in front of your face. Focus on it. Notice how your eyes move? Yes, the distance has now shrunk. Yay.

Keep in mind that (even when overclocked) the NSLUs are SLOW.
Not "overclocked". From the factory, they're underclocked. Removing the resistor makes it run at the speed rated by Intel.
I used mine as a mail gateway briefly, but it took almost a full minute to run spamassassin on each incoming mail. Eventually, when the load went up, mail would get lost.
You just don't run apps like spamassassin on an embedded system. Scanning works just fine though, but of course it depends on the resolution you're scanning at.
Anyway, make sure you scanning software works with 32M of RAM. Swapping just doesn't work with the NSLU.
You're kidding right? Swapping works just fine. Of course, swapping isn't as fast as real RAM, but I've run into no problems scanning with my USB-powered scanner so far (Except a now-fixed endianness problem, fixed by switching the NSLU2 to little-endian).
Instead of the laptop, set up a LinkSys NSLU2 (From $80) with slugos (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/), and connect a USB-scanner to it. With some shellscripting, you should be ready to go:-)
I find this "hyper-focusing" to be extremely useful. I often use this while programming, as it allows me to sit 14 hours straight and write a *lot* of code. There is no such thing as "the rest of the world" when I do this, and I must say that I am very effective. (Not vouching for the correctness of my code though)
The high-speed connection at home can never replace the feeling of being in a hall with 150+ other nerds. Also, a LAN tends toward rock-solid near-zero latency. I know that many FPS gamers appreciate this.
Yup, YM definitely varies. I did this with a video card in a server, and did a (IIRC) hdparm -tT to test the speed of the device. Turns out it was *way* slower than the harddrive.
But if you run a business, and made the choice to use WordPerfect, or even a freeware Linux application, would you want to be FORCED to purchase MS Word to read a document that another company sends you? Not only that, but they intend to lock out the capabilityt o export (No Copy/Paste, etc), so you need to buy Word for EVERYBODY who needs to read the document.
Reading the document will never be the problem (Unless it is locked). Microsoft has, and will always have a free reader that is capable of reading the document. Anything else would be bad business practice, because it would actually force users over to other office suits that allow anyone to read the document, regardless of operating system and software. Interoperability is key. The user (read company that buys the software) needs to know that all clients can read what they send out. If they're suddenly locked out by all clients needing to purchase the latest and greatest MS Word, they're going to look for alternatives fast.
A friend of mine (No joke!) fell into a river and hit the back of his head against a rock. He passed out and drowned. Fortunately for him, the water was very cold, and it chilled him down. He was dead for almost 45 minutes before the paramedics revived him. The doctors said he wouldn't wake up from the coma. He did, although with brain damage.
He meant "Troupe", as in the Troupe of Monkeys randomly hitting "Accept" on submissions. Sometimes they miss the "Accept"-button, and press the "Accept Several Times"-button. This is how the phenomenon of Slashdot Dupes actually works.
I do. I can't fit a "normal" PSU into the mini-itx box that I'm building, nor do I want it outside. But with a laptop brick, I can hide the brick out of sight, while this "PSU" provides the power to the mobo.
Probably about the same amount of power that goes into producing a quad Opteron system. But this system uses less power when *in use*, than an quad Opteron system.
It's a one-hand controller. Shouldn't strain your wrist much;-)
Why do you need sensors on both sides of the TV? They can use accelerometers and send the info to the console. Heck, they can even use the old "gun"-trick to calibrate the controller a couple of times a second without you noticing.. (By inserting a black/white frame)

Are you serious? You are aware that Google is a giant data-miner? Their business depends on that logging...

Indeed.

I'd moderate you "+2 ROFL" if I hadn't already posted ;-)
I really wish my CPUs had the on-die L2 cache you're mentioning there....

And the final solution is simple. Kill the buggers ;-)

No, I was about to google and check when you cleared it up :-)

For all of you in the dark, Phobos is a hint
Yeah, inventing polite people would be nice. But polite people are humans too, and humans forget to switch off the sound of their phones.

You'd have to epoxy the whole damn board then. There's heaps of places you can connect to the bios and cpu, not just the pins themselves.

Definitely old news. Here in Trondheim we've had hydrogen driven buses since 1989.
Yes. Stockings. From the significant other that you wish you had. They make excellent, cheap dust filters.
What's stopping you from resting your arm on something while playing with this controller?
