Screw that! Just use a flat screwdriver from the dollar store (or $2-3 at the local hardware store), get a metal file or grinder and take off material until there is a good tight fit, then unscrew the screw. I have a kick-ass mini-screwdriver, I went to remove a security Torx bit with it and...

You seem to be confused, it is NOT open hardware. There is an invitation to solder to labeled points on the board, but that has nothing to do with open hardware. IF some crazy company could knock this off they would need to build their own complete board. (I bet you the first company to do...

Ha ha ha ha! What a stupid point to make. If the goddamn thing catches fire I'm going to be more worried about my whole freaking house burning down than a single device taking the brunt of the blaze. Not if your RC helicopter or plane (or submarine) is worth $x,xxx (or $xx,xxx) and countless...

http://www.cclab.com/ce-testing.htm QUOTE Low voltage for the purposes of this directive is defined in Article 1 as any electrical equipment designed for use with a voltage rating between 50 and 1000 V for alternating current and between 75 and 1500 V for direct current I think we are OK...

Nail looked too much like Cavestory, and I had mixed feelings about that (F@#$ing GP2X control stick was crap). The zombie one seems kinda of like Shaun of the Dead (my mom did not believe that it wasn't a horror film, pretty gory box, she hates violent movies.) I love giant robots, and the...

Maybe (just maybe) Craig has been running this webshop for 5 years and taking money for pre-orders without problem. I sent them CC money for the GP2X before it was released (and I think I waited a few months before I got it.) The banks didn't bitch and quit then, what would make Craig able to...

For a pre-alpha it is amazingly polished. I ran out of gas and cheated :lol: (probably should have fired up my Cheat Engine and just given myself gas, but used shift-b ) , beat in 64 minutes. Must play again. If you fix it for game-pad play can we play with a USB joystick? (either on the...

I would prefer an app that modeled what the actual sensor was pulling in by using a dot that grew larger and was accurately placed on the screen. My laptop has an app like that, I can't remember what brand of touchpad that was though.

Just another day-to-day example from Google: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/electric...ency-d_655.html According to the info in that link electric motors are rated in efficiency, that is the ratio of kinetic energy to heat produced. It becomes easier to grasp if you imagine a frictionless...

Well, now I am curious, have you got any links that explain further? I will search on my own too. Edit: http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/sc...msofenergy.html According to this page moving electrons is work, so energy is applied and electrons are moved, there isn't any "heat", except...

I don't think this is right, the electrons were moved, that equals work done.

Has anyone tried the Katamari game? I just bought Katamari Damacy for the PS2 and my friends played through it, it is pretty fun. (note, you will need to have an open mind and enjoy having simple fun.)

For a slideshow, possibly. For games or movies, not really. (It needs a special driver to take the output from the real video hardware and compress it over the USB, I don't think the Pandora has the CPU power for it to be honest.) Have a look at the BeagleBoard, it has the same SoC...

I don't know, we are a very long way from standards in laptops, let alone palm-tops. It would be neat, but who is going to agree to it? Basically it gives control to the consumers, who will either use it to buy the lowest margin products from all companies concerned and assemble their own...

The OMAP is for Smarphones, Netbooks will have an Atom processor. (and a Geforce 9200-9400 chip, and run Vista or XP.) http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=3485 http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3478
