changing nappies :blink: Gawd, these programmers get younger every year :o Mentor

not offhand, but you could try a Linux live cd and see if the camera is visible from that, if the images are not recoverable then try hard resetting the thing, normaly you can find a little reset dimple or hole, stick a bit of wire in that and hold it down for ten seconds or so and it should...

the claim is that "how to know if your son is a hacker" is supposed to be satire, the realy worrying thing is I know a LOT of people I work with who would read and believe that article, and no I don`t work in a home for the mentaly disabled, it`s just some people who use the net totaly lack...

looking at the posters name and sig, that doesn`t surprise me :P I doubt that would happen unless the authoritys turned into some Orwellian police state, with hardware that restrictive you would just get someone else release alternative systems and hardware that wasn`t restrictive and they...

scam! offer it to another bidder, anything to do with Nigeria tends to have more snags than a knitted sweater just been dragged through a barbed wire hedge overgrown with thorn trees, you`ll tend to lose both the goods and the money if you aren`t carefull, since all transactions are on a trust...

if the 3v in does bypass the regulator then maybe you could swap to using lithium polymer batteries, you need to get the correct rated cells and the right type of charger (or they explode), but they have insane storage capacities for their size and are rated at 3.6v per cell iirc so you should...

you don`t need any stepdown devices, just have your cells wired in two`s together and then in series, and since people can play with the mains adapter plugged in then it shouldn`t be a problem for you eitther, the voltage from two cells is going to be right since thats what the device holds...

I have never had the "pleasure" of owning a console, I HAVE to own something I can program for some perverse reason that eludes me, since I can`t program for ..er.....poo, but I have been caught out by only one game in my whole misspent gameing history, the only game I ever bought where I...

a while ago (when the the internet was young) people used to try and foil the authoritys with "spookfodder", a pile of potential "computer monitoring sensitive" keywords that would trigger a response from any system monitoring your mail, then they appended it to almost everthing sent via the net...

I tried to do a telnet clone so that we could connect a GP2X to the internet without a telephone line, but alas it didn`t work properly, due to the large amount of chinese components in the GP2X it kept failing to connect as it would Wing the Wong number :lol: (sorry! my medication is wearing...

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! :D yep! thats what we all need, remove the enemies from DoomIII and replace the gory wall textures with breezeblock textures and give em a load of UAC boxes to move about, great idea, I love Onion articles, while we are on the subject heres another serious issue that needs...

whooo hooo! :D , I`m getting a warm feeling all over, hang on...just my crutch...oh! :o (peed meself) :lol:, seriously, I will keep an eye on that one, I am also interested in TA being mentioned in that thread, I didn`t know that was open source, used to play that for days on end :) , Kingdoms...

LOL, thats one hell of an assumption, even their compliant C++ isn`t 100% compliant, must be hell when you want to do things your way cos your the boss and some dumbass organisation like ANSI keeps telling you you can`t do it that way :rolleyes: :D

asking people to buy a machine that forces em to watch adverts? they must be off whatever passes for their tiny minds, as for lubidogs comments, I personaly own a Tivo, I don`t see adverts any more, don`t watch live tv even 95% of the time, just skip through adverts at warp factor 16x and most...

well...I was just thinking there is a miniGL port already running on one cpu at a reasonable speed, and SDL is already on the system, and thats what you would need to run Warzone, it might be slow but I recall the system specs where not that high for warzone anyway (Pentium 166 ,16 Megs Ram ,30...

does this mean I qualify as aged old man of the forum? (44), why all these young people? where did they come from?, was I ahead of my time? , oh yeah! and z88 programable hex keypad circuitboard with led display was my first "computer"..self build kit ordered from a electronics magazine, second...

I just found one of my favourite games, Warzone 2100, on the net, Pumpkin released the source and a team ported it to openGL and SDL for Linux, if the second cpu could be coaxed to pretend to be a 3D Ogl style GPU (RTS doesn`t need anything like 60fps so this should be possible) then it would be...

Windows is a very old GUI for an even older OS called DOS iirc, I think they still use it on obscure and unfashionable parts of the universe (like Earth), along with Digital watches and VHS video tapes, we sent an interstellar rescue probe there loaded with plenty of Linux Distros, but the DOS...

sounds like one of your new batteries is faulty, they can get hot if you short em out (anyone remember those old stories about people getting burnt when they shorted out their spare cellphone batteries on the loose change in their pockets?), but they shouldn`t get that hot in normal use, that...

maybe it would be more sensible if they made the flashing only possible Via the Jtag cable and did away with the boot loader, that way anyone who had it go belly up could instantly rectify the problem via the cable, since they would have to have the cable to do the upgrade, plus you wouldn`t get...
