You mean PirateGarage.com?

Well, manufacturers often use screws to secure their IP inside the box you just bought. If you can manage to decrypt that security (I would suggest a brute force method, starting with lefty-loosy) then you are just going to get slapped with a DCMA lawsuit. That's why we really should just take our cars to the dealer to get our oil changed. If you do it yourself, you are just asking for trouble.

We are talking about a low powered, portable toy. Face tracking isn't likely to be part of the trick.
1) There's not enough processing to track the face. You could make it work, but I personally don't feel that it fits in with the pattern Nintendo's previous elegant design solutions.
2) The user will naturally keep their face in the 3D focus sweet spot. An HDTV is hard because people are spread across the room. But for Nintendo, the user is always in front of the screen, and they are always within arms reach.
3) You can use the inertial sensors to change the angle of the sweet spot. People are going to want to see around obstacles (and the game makers want to let them). But you can train users to keep their head in one spot, and roll the DS to see around obstacles. With that Parallax screen, you can adjust the sweet spot based on the amount of tilt of the DS.

Is it possible that California is making a big stink about this so they can please the environmentalists with a restriction, while also pushing people who might be interested into buying a new set today instead of 2012, thus pleasing republicans by not raising taxes and helping big business?

In my neighborhood (suburban Colorado) the houses were built in 1980, and there were no such requirements. The new code says any outlets within 6 feet need to have GFCI. I had to put them in my house, but they weren't required by law.

But, if you were putting a lot of current into the negative conductor, then you actually will see a difference between the negative conductor and ground. If on top of that, you short to negative, then the GFCI will have some additional lag.

Red Hat used to be sold in stores, for $99, and that included some service time. I've also seen howto books include the distro they describe (I have one with SuSe 9.3 cost about $20). The problem is that they get out of date so fast. Ubuntu LTS is once a year, and another major release every October. Suse was on 10.2 when I bought that book.

Then your time should be worth more than $25 to $30 an hour.

This is why layering software is such a good idea.
the ipv4 software:
ip_object.GetIPHandle()

looks a lot like the ipv6 software:
ip_object.GetIPHandle()

I worked at CC from 99 to 02, and they had the 110% the whole time. At the end, they got rid of commisioned sales people, and everyone was paid an hourly wage. That was the end, IMO.

If it's so terrible, how do you explain this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw The wii remote has sensors for accelration, which can't by themselves give you position. The sensor bar gives you position in the room (angle, and distance). The accelerometers are, IMO, secondary to the infrared camera. I think the accelerometers aren't used at all for pointing games, and are used only for broad motion games. I bet they get a lot better for strong acceleration.
