He is using a 32bit monster, its a pic32 device, a chipkit32 clone. Its running an emulation of the io of the 8bit aurduino through wiring. Its not a common of garden aurduino 8bit avr.

Check out a mini robot learning to physicaly fly light aircraft. http://airsoc.com/articles/vie... Uses vision and robot arms to operate scaled down controls on a flight simulator.

It is a flashforge dreamer, its just had one extruder removed and the heated printbed plate removed which stops it from being able to print ABS. Most printers have single or dual options. Presumably dremel did not want consumers using ABS plastic which requires the bed to be at 100c and gives off toxic fumes whilst printing. PLA plastic is biodegradable, made from organic polymers (corn) , and prints onto a cold bed at a lower temperature. However it is less durable, but gives off no toxic fumes (smells like waffles whilst it is printing). The products it prints are also food safe to a degree unlike ABS. Dual extruder is tricky to use, so its removal was probaly both a cost and useability move. The software is just rebadged autodesk software, so dremel have had virtualy nothing to do with this device other than deciding the configeration, where the logos went and designing the packaging. You can buy the same setup with dual extruder, heated bed and the software from the original producers for about $1400

No, what will happen is that the worse will be the ones that remain in business, the ones with the fake driving license, no insurance, and vehicles pulled off a scrap heap and welded together, because those will be the only ones capable of preserving a margin. If the app showed you the validity of the drivers license, the result of the last vehicle inspection, then you could choose the drivers that are best before you hail, and the market could operate as you describe. But hey would it not just be easier if in order to operate they had to meet licensing requirements enforced by the state. And we have now come around full circle.....

Fedora installs python as part of its base, pretty much all the command line system-* tools used to install and configure rh/fedora are written in python, hence there is a large community of devs who work in python at the system level, and a bunch of existing python libraries for touching just about every part of the system, including as pointed out in the article all the filesystems supported by the installer. While i am not a python programmer, and not a system level hacker, i can see how the approach makes absolute sense.

Ohhh come on, we all know he was a godamm sontaran, who else could it have been. Jedi where never anywhere near 18th centry london, sontarans however, whole different kettle of fish... thats where Strax keeps sneaking off to. Dont belive all that bollocks about a mate called Archie from Glasgow.

Dang, thats exactly what i told them when they bought in those new fangled automobiles, nobody wants or needs to move faster than 15 miles per hour, and the economoics of them will never work out.

Its people being forced to upgrade thier older perfectly functional versions of office to read documents being created by people who have upgraded. There are at least half a dozen major varients of the "word doc". In government that is a major problem.

This is where it all starts getting too complicated again, there are already other systems that do that and they got disabled, when you start adding functionality and connectivity you add significant vulnerability. It should be a very simple standalone, inaccessible device, serving one simple task. Answering the question "where the fuck has my $123 MILLION plane got to".

Put it in end of the wing, try getting at that when the plane is in flight. Self contained, self powered tracker. Run for 7 days on an external charge. No connection to internal systems or power supplies.

Its the same question that should have been asked of the doctors that assisted with the torture and stress programs, the psychologists that aided and abetted the threats made against detainees families. The aviation engineers that built remote controlled ariel death machines. The lawyers that twisted and bent the law to try to justify all the above. There is a tendancy for professions to remote themselves from the consequences of thier actions, and to adopt both the "obeying orders" and the "if we dont do it, somebody else will" defense. Scumbags the lot of them, there is a very hot place waiting for them all.

Another viewpoint on AF447 seems to blame it almost completely on the pilots. http://airsoc.com/articles/view/id/4ef03480c6f8fa6041000005/what-really-happened-aboard-air-france-447

Errrh, a router should NEVER crash, you should be able to stream absolute crap at it for years on end without it crashing. part of a routers role is to reject malformed packets and request resends, not go tits up at the first sign of trouble. Christ if routers behaved like this the whole net would be down most of the time, do you realised how much damaged data flows around the net.
