where are the $100 laptops? did i just miss them or are they not posted as of yet?

that door is neat. i want one.

Hah, I was messing with the original logo in photoshop, and then I got bored and went to sleep. I’m no hacker, I’m a slacker…

Some of the links are working properly, they just redirect me back to hackaday.com Someone should check that out.

Is anyone else having the same problem as me or am I just not looking in the right place?

the poodle thing is kick a$$. i couldn’t stop laughing. my brother’s got a greyhound. i bet i could give it a poodle look too.

extra hd and nothing to do today…

i’m going to install OSX

i’ll have Windows, Mac, AND Linux (Fedora) on the same machine!

MUAHAHAHAHAAA (etc)

So where can I find detailed information on how they made this work? Is it still using vmware for any kind of emulation? I just don’t understand how this can run on an x86.

As a side note to everyone reading the “turn a pc into a bookshelf” article – depending on where you live, taking items that are in the trash (or being thrown out) can be constituted as stealing. In Colorado, all of the stuff in trash cans are considered property of the trash company. Keep the great links coming!

jared harleytha: around here (that is, in texas), if it’s out on the curb, in a dumpster, or in a trashcan, you’re allowed to take it; it’s no longer anyone’s property (until someone comes along and grabs it, that is)

Oh man the Poodle suit is a hoot! They need to work out one for Pit Bulls quick.

I didn’t see how the federal government can regulate state traffic on state roads, so I looked it up -

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:S.+564:

It looks like it’s only illegal to use it in a way that would affect interstate commerce (weak argument) or to sell it in interstate commerce. (good case)

“The term `unauthorized use’ does not apply to use of a traffic signal preemption transmitter for classroom or instructional purposes.’.”

The federal government makes a *very* weak case regarding interstate commerce here, and I think it wouldn’t stand up in court at all.

The arguments in the article “Maniacs going 80mph with an endless string of green lights! Ambulances crashing and exploding! OMG!” are also disgustingly weak and fear-mongering. Bah. I say build it and screw them.
