You can't measure the rails without actually putting a load oon, unlike voltage. A voltmeter can be put between two points to measure the electrical difference. To measure amps, the ammeter has to be in-line, and you have to have a load on it. you could test it like this: __________3.3v...

It's being worked on. I'm not sure where I read it, but there is a company making it. The cartridges last about 6 months, no matter how much you use them. For now, they can simulate some of the basic essential smells. Gunfire, tire smoke, etc. I'm not really sure if I'd want my room smelling...

Episode 2 was good. Can't wait to watch the rest! I like how he recaps the whole chain of events in the end. Are all the episodes like this? A series of events to one invention, kind of independant of the other episodes, or do they build on one another?

yeah, i wasn't too excited about the first episode. Still, didn't think the plow was so important!!! :) I'm gonna go watch one now!

I've only watched the first episode so far. Looks good though. I'll have to get around to watching the rest

Just what does WW3 have to do with gaming advances. You think the type of technology developed for a (I'd say very hypothetical) WW3 would be virtual reality type technologies? I'd say it's be more along the lines of missile defense, mass destruction weapons (preferrably ones that leave the...

hmm. sound good, but how? second mouse? How would you use WASD if you had a second mouse. They could have a kind of toggle switch. Hold it down to control POV, let go to resume regular crosshair centered gameplay. But then you can't really spray your cover fire, since your mouse would be...

any such controller would require one hand for aiming, so it'd be essentially a mouse. The reason controllers don't cut it is because you are limited to about an inch of movement. If I need to quickly spin in a console game, all I can do is hold the stick far to the side, and wait for my...

:Q PLEASE tell me you're joking! The PS2 controller has got the be the most awkward (sp?), horrible piece on junk I've ever ha dthe misfurtune of coming into contact with. Just about ALL controllers suck. The only one I EVER liked were N64 nd Dreamcast. They know how to design a controller...

WOW. Guess what? That series is only the FIRST 10 part series. There's 3!!! And they're all on this that forum. This listing has all three threads on it, each the complete series!!! check it out! http://www.mvgroup.org/forums/index.php?showforum=22 EDIT 1: lol, i'm gonna have to have both my...

got the torrents http://www.mvgroup.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1181&hl=bbc+connections what a cool forum. Seems to be all about this kind of hard to get and fresh stuff, rather than your average torrent site, trying to cram the lates episodes of CSI down your throat :) EDIT: Oh, BTW...

anyone else who's interested, I found this: http://bitzi.com/search/?keywords=bbc+connections It only has the first 6 parts, and I haven't tried em yet, so the links may be dead. I will try to DL one over night

LOL, I am aware of bittorrent. I just figured, with it functioning on the basis of file popularity, a 20 year old BBC file was out of the question. I'll look, definatley sounds good. I was at a playdium once, and the best thing I saw there (didn't ride it - yes, I said RIDE, 'cause I only had...

Cool, I'll just go dig through by BBC Video Archive... Oh wait, I don't have one :P

I think physics will be the next one. It's already starting, but really, engines like HAVOCII that HL2 uses, are incredibly basic. See this link: PhysX I think in maybe ten years or so, when the physics departent has advanced like the graphics have between Doom2 and Half-life2, we will...
