They already have that. You can plug your phone into a monitor with a SlimPort adapter.

So the CPU is on the daughterboard. Everything that's specific to the CPU type (North/South bridges, etc) would have to go on there as well. Likely memory as well.

Congratulations. They've re-discovered the backplane and single board computer.

If the 750 mile object were in the same orbit as the moon, it would have the same orbital velocity as the moon. With a very small difference in velocity between it and the moon, it wouldn't change the moon's orbit much at all. Since the theory is that the smaller moon would have started in either the L4 or L5 Earth-Moon Legrange points, they would have had the same velocity.

For CompSci, you'll probably be looking at digital signals more often than analog. Consider getting a logic analyzer instead.

I've worked with LeCroy LogicStudio 16. It's a logic analyzer that connects to your PC over USB. It does I2C, SPI, and UART triggering & decoding, and can capture 16 channels at 500 MHz. It costs just under $1000.

They've got the full application available on their website, it'll use a simulated device as a demo. http://www.lecroy.com/logicstudio/

What car has these features? Sometimes I check myself by timing 2 seconds, but keeping my eyes fixed on some feature on the road surface or roadside for 2 seconds isn't the safest thing.

...500 times further away from the Sun than the Earth...

An observatory at 500 AU? Really? Considering the two farthest man-made objects, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, are only at 94 and 84 AU, this seems overambitious to the point of completely unrealistic.

I am in favor of cars being controlled by Yaw.
