I drove a lot of small country roads as well. Two lane roads that are about as wide as one and a half US lanes. No speed limits. Occasional blind hills and turns. Farm equipment occasionally on the road.

Country roads actually have an implicit speed limit of 100km/h unless stated otherwise. http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Zeichen_393.svg&filetimestamp=20060729152001

In Germany you can be fined for leaving your car unlocked.

Just makes sense, why would you require people to have drivers licenses for everyones safety, but then let cars stand around unlocked for anyone to fuck up with.

Why couldn't they use a Perl blog framework like Movable Type instead of Wordpress...

I don't know, my tiny dated Netgear WGR614 router can handle a DVB-S Stream over http over WPA no problem.

Economically, they have built up enormous reserves of U.S. dollars and have now got the entire U.S. economy by the throat--all they'd have to do to throw us into a tailspin is to STOP buying our debt.

Yes, good idea, kill the biggest market you export to.

Just checked the Datasheets to the modules (Samsung SLM1606), current supply is 3.2 Ampere per module, which sums up to 160 Watts for a 32x80 pixel display, which puts a PC power supply under some stress.

from 10 16x16x(red, green) modules. Problematic was the (theoretical) current required to drive the whole assemblage: 512 * 10 * 20mA = 102 Ampere, at 5 Volt is 512 Watts Although I'm not really sure whether the modules were even able to fully light all LEDs at once, they had a built in shift register. At first I wired them directly to my parallel port and later wanted to wire an Atmega32 to it, but caused a short while playing around, bricking the development board. The modules rest in my basement, since.
