Funny, I did the same thing with a 5-pack of Zip disks a couple years ago. I ended up buying them though, for a couple bucks. Who else would have? I still have them sitting on my desk, keep telling myself I'll finish rebuilding the old

GBA is such a sweet spot for me. My SP is still one of my favorite platforms.

I had success running Slax on an Eee PC 901 a couple years ago. It was 1.6GHz with only 1GB of RAM.

I have an iPad 4 that's mostly used for email and reading HN/blogs in bed. My daily Linux machine is a Thinkpad T430 from 2012. I daily drive a 1993 Saab 9000 -- Can it run custom software? The electronics (HVAC, lights, wipers, e

I've been meaning to get into IF forever. Do you mind sharing what system/method in particular has worked for you?

I'd love to see a writeup/documentation on the backend issues you mentioned here. Sounds egregious! Do you have a link to point me to?

Thank you for this. That's the primary thing I wanted to know from this post too. Although I will say having my eyes immobilized also sounds scary. And I feel like I would constantly be "checking" that I still can't move

I haven't written anything up for it yet, but I've been thinking about a hackaday post. Ideally I'd like to integrate the other chassis electronic systems at some point too – lights, radio, ignition, pretty much everything bu

Same here with my '93 Saab. I replaced the smart (for its time) HVAC control system with an Arduino running software I wrote, but otherwise it's bone stock. I'd love an electric too, but the way I figure it, continuing to use

But isn't "cheating" the norm in real-world jobs too? It's rare that I or any of the developers I work with complete a task without looking something up or asking a question of someone more knowledgeable. Seems to me the

This looks like a great resource, but the vast number of grammatical mistakes is really distracting. Some issues are to be expected with a self-published book, but at least in the sections I read, a majority of sentences are grammatically i

This is all-around great advice. I heard some similar things on Ricky Gervais' show After Life, and I wrote them down: > It's worth sticking around to maybe make my little corner of the world a slightly better place. > Happi

My thoughts exactly. Of course anything digitizable can be thought of as "just numbers"; the point of copyright law is that the act of arranging such numbers is a creative work.
