PS that sentry with a semi auto belt fed .50 cal in your attic would be a fearsome thing indeed.

None of this file editting stuff either :D

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.

I couldn’t comment on the article’s website so I’ll rant here. The floppy disk is being phased out due to the “Bigger, Better, Faster, Louder” mentality. Yes, a CD can hold hundreds of times the amount of data than a floppy can, but what if I want to give somebody a copy of a text file? I think it’s silly to use a 650 MB CD to distribute a 650KB file. Most maufacturers no longer include floppy drives in their laptops, but for an extra $50 they’ll send one you can plug in to the USB port.

do a search on .nsv
find the direct url to it (ie, http://213.246.55.62/xcd/1234/videos/simpsons151.nsv for example) and go into winamp and press ctrl L, enter the url, you can stream the tv show WITHOUT their plugin
hehehe, this tutorial should be expanded and posted to hackaday
also if anyone wants to, it’d kickass to have a greasemonkey script that lets you just automatically stream it in winamp

I’d love to participate in the challenge and I’ve got some hot ideas… but my only “supplier” is Ebay and there’s a lot of CRAP to sift through.

Anyone else have this problem?

The guy can be seen riding it around at various tech related things in the greater SF bay area (robonexus, FIRST regionals, etc.) and I’ve heard he’ll let you ride his various scooters if you ask nice, though I never have. He also has a whole wealth of information on his website about how to build your own segway-like scooter. I would check it out.
