If you RTFA, it is the driver who plowed into the pedestrians. He assumed the car would detect the pedestrians and slam on the brakes for him, but it turns out the car did not have the feature or it was disabled. A stupid, dangerous stunt on the part of the people involved, and some seriously dishonest reporting.

On the other hand, Soyuz hasn't lost a crew in over 40 years. I'd call that a pretty good safety record.

Would go great with Kerbal Space Program.

SpaceShipTwo has a top speed of approx 1200 m/s, whereas low earth orbit is on the order of 8000 m/s.

If you RTFA, its pretty obvious Anaya knew he was helping criminals. I don't feel sorry for him at all. If he really wanted to keep a clean business he could have said that he would document all installations and share them with the cops.

Sounds analogous to the light gas gun.

One can do 400m in KSP. If you're not snapping off spaceship parts you're too far away.

- A 747 consumes 140MW. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(power) ]
- Nevada Solar One, a 400 acre solar generating station, generates 64MW. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_Solar_One ]
Hmmmm...

There's nothing wrong with this picture. The Arduino is for hobbyists to learn and play, not for designing cost effective production grade products. If Arduino users can do DSP on their boards, the more power to them. Note that the upcoming Arduino Due is a Cortex-M3 (32 bit, 96MHz, no-FPU); this thing could do a fair amount of DSP compared to older Arduinos.

What's easiest is what you're used to. The most popular programming system on earth is Excel, which is firmly in the functional camp.

Or just pump it out of the barge over the period of a month or so while driving around the Pacific. Seawater is already naturally radioactive, and I doubt spreading this barge-full of radioactive water around would make any difference.

One problem for ARM is that every ARM processor and board has different hardware, and that hardware is in different places. Compare this to an x86 PC where you are guaranteed to have basic components at known locations; enough so that a generic OS image can boot. An ARM OS image typically needs a lot of static configuration, custom drivers, board specific bootloader, etc.

Does the GPL require the source code to run on the same piece of hardware? The OP can't build an run new firmware on his router, but can he build and run it on his x86 linux machine with standard tools? If *that* can be done, is it really still a violation? The modified source code has been re-contributed to society. I know that's not really what the OP wants to accomplish though...

Here's a tutorial to get you rolling with OpenGL in SDL under linux. Once you get rolling with that, you can proceed to the NeHe tutorials. http://cone3d.gamedev.net/cgi-bin/index.pl?page=tutorials/ogladv/tut1
