This is a known problem/solution. Adafruit sells a good converter.

Not Grar! enough. Same reason all the Pentagon flunkies are riding the Metro in camo.

The one in Baltimore just installed its digital projector about a month ago. Coincidentally, I saw a (digital) documentary there about the history of drive-ins that claims there's a bit of a resurgence lately. It's called Going Attractions.

If MIT is at all serious about implementing any reforms to stop this kind of tragedy from happening again, it must stop objecting to the release of information about the case. Which they will probably do, now that they got "ahead of the story."

Indeed. I'm sure everyone is scrambling to see if they have a patent that Apple hasn't licensed. Weee! Free market at its finest!

There is no 'Anonymous.' It's just a term that's been widely co-opted. Sort of like 'Al Qaeda.'

It's really an end-around the ridiculously litigious society we live in. The kit isn't quite chemical free. It doesn't ship with any, but the experiments utilize common household chemicals.

Ditto that. In the Mid-Atlantic, it's pretty good. From what I hear about NYC and the West Coast, not so much.

Those robots will never fit inside a standard sized Suicide Booth so chances are they'll work in those factories until their little robot arms fall off ;-)

Which will significantly reduce their suicide success rate. Problem solved!
