Those of you who are science fiction fans and also have one half of one clue or more in your head have doubtless noticed that the vast majority of science fiction movies suck. Ass. And anything else that's handy. The Friday night movies on TV are converging ever tighter on a plan that makes them look like the last

The below screen shot of DOOM for Intellivision is accompanied by some funky digital noise which I have no idea how to capture and put here from one of these emulators without installing additional software. I've installed three versions of it already. One of the emulators has an AVI capture mode on it, maybe I should try doing that. I generated the screen shot below with Nostalgia, a neat Intellivision emulator. I'm sorry about the dodgy quality, but I hit alt-printscreen a little too late, and I'd already spent too much time on this. It's not like it's really playable at these speeds anyway.

I was running BeOS/x86 R3 and it was pretty cool. I ported GNU File while I was running it. This code is so old and useless likely no one will ever give a damn, but here it is anyway.

Putting GEOS on a GRiDPad 1910 is fairly trivial, assuming you can get the files there in the first place. I sent an email to someone back in 1995 which says most of the same things I say here, but I may have left something out of one file or the other. You can find the file attached to the bottom of this node as "geosinst.txt". The best way to go about all this is to use Palm Connect, if you have access to it - This is PC-GEOS 2.0, which came with a serial cable that connected a Zoomer to a PC. (The same cable, with a null modem adapter and a gender changer, lets you hook up printers, modems and whatnot to your zoomer.) The big deal about THIS particular revision of PC-GEOS is that it comes with handwriting recognition, a notepad app that's fairly decent, a datebook, and a phone directory.

I own a GRiDPad 1910, upon which I run PC-GEOS 2.0 with Graffiti. I wrote a Guide to installing GEOS on the GRiDPad 1910 which will help you get to the same place. Once it runs GEOS, it functions as sort of a giant PDA. There's a great deal of old PC-GEOS software which can be run on it, and it has a 640x400 monochrome CGA display.

If you are doing much testing of content management systems, you end up needing to clear your database. If you don't want to set permissions up repeatedly, you end up wanting some way to clear all the tables from a database so you can set it up again. I found a way to do this (by googling of course, because I am lazy and do not want to think) that does not require dropping and recreating the database with its attendant permissions.

The Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF or MAFS) detects the amount of air flowing through the car's intake. It does this by measuring heat changes between a pair of "hot wire" sensors, by comparing current flow through them. It's perhaps not the method I'd have

The tension control rod is the part of the front suspension which keeps the lower control arm from moving forward and backward. Actually, it causes it to move by a specified amount around a fixed point at the front of the car. At this point there is a bushing, the only alternative being a ball joint, as it must flex in two directions at once.

Let's say you have a GPS and you want to use it with multiple applications. On Linux, this is easy, because basically every program today utilizes GPSd for GPS communications. GPSd connects one or more clients to one or more GPS devices, and also has support for NTP (for providing time information.) However, it does not support Windows (and in fact they are fairly nasty about it) even though it's a fairly simple trick when using Cygwin.

After spending several hours looking, however, I did finally find a free (as in beer) solution that works for Windows XP. It involves the extremely hard-to-locate (but not any more!) gpsd from gps3d...
