As a burner who is familar with Burning Man and it's many regional offspring I can say without a doubt that Burning Man has in many ways forgotten what it started as and what it was meant to be. That is one of the things most of the regional events take care of. They continue in the spirit in which it all began. Although things like this do make us take a look at how we do things and see if we need to review or create policies to handle them. My home burn is very much a case of the organizers staying out of the way as much as possible. They believe quite rightly IMHO that the community should be in control and that they should decide how things run.

If I have read the docket and materials correctly then there won't be a decision that day. Judge Kimball will be hearing oral arguments but that is probably all that will happen that day. I expect he will then sit down with the transcripts and all the motions, briefs, reports, memorandums, etc ad nauseum for a while before he issues any decisions. In fact I'll be surprised if we have a decision on any of this before July at the earliest. Judge Kimball doesn't seem to be one who is willing to rush anything really. He would much prefer to go slow and be very careful about everything he does so as to avoid having ANY decisions overturned by a higher court. He has even gone so far as to do a de novo review when it was not required just to satisfy any higher court that ALL possible leeway was given in making sure no mistakes were made.

Journal Journal: Do you still use optical media regularly? 2

Journal by Yaztromo

I just finished up a rather large project implementing a robotic blimp. We based the system on at Atmel AT90USB Key device, which is a really flexible little development board with a ton of connectivity. We wired in motors, sonars, a digital compass, and a 2.4Ghz radio. We started off with absolutely no software, so we wrote a Real-time Operating System, device drivers for all the hardware, a protocol stack for the wireless radios, an RS-232 driver, and even an ANSI/VT-100 driver. We buil

We know, no one likes paying extra for those built-in backup features that you reckon are just as easily handled by your own diligence, but TrekStor's latest external hard drive boasts even more fanciness for your hard-earned buck. Aside from coming bundled with Nero's BackItUp2 Essentials, the dashing aluminum drive packs an infrared remote, AV adapter, USB 2.0 connectivity, and a front-panel full of media-centric playback controls for times when the remote mysteriously vanishes. The unit was designed to capture your video files, pictures, and other multimedia, and then plug right in to any television for instant, painless viewing / listening. Additionally, it plays nice with OS X, Linux, and nearly every flavor of Windows, and handles MPEG1/2/4, AVI, DivX, XviD, MP3, WMA, WAV, and OGG file formats all on its own. HD freaks aren't forgotten either, as 720p / 1080i is also in the cards thanks to its component output capabilities, and the optical digital audio output can even pipe surround sound from the HDD to your AV system. The MovieStation maxi t.u comes in 250GB, 320GB, 400GB, and half terabyte sizes, but unfortunately, no pricing deets were readily available just yet. [Warning: PDF read link]
