+1 vote for Sid Meyer's: Railroads. Although it takes a little work to get it working with W7. It's also on Steam.
Railworks looks interesting but it seems like a huge money grab to me. I mean, come on, $199 for a game?
Maybe one of the DLC's will be harder? I've also heard the coop is more difficult, although I haven't played it.
Personally I found the difficulty adequate enough to be interesting and I enjoyed the game much better than other games that have recently been released <cough> DNF <cough>. I'm...
Interesting link Modelworks. Thanks.
As for suggestions to Miscthree, I also vote for Google Chrome OS.
You could also just try something like Unbuntu if you want a little more tranditional OS than Google.
If they are stuck on Windows you can look into Microsoft Steady State. I've...
The new version of Norton Ghost (15) works well. Many people also like Acronis, which also works well. I've used both and have good results with both.
Each has their strengths and weaknesses.
I use Norton because it will automatically delete old images after creating new ones. Last time...
If you believe the movie "Brainstorm", it will allow us to make headset size thought recorders that will allow us to record our experiences and then play them back for someone else.
Cool site you found. I browsed for awhile. :)
You know, for this small stuff, I really don't know much compared to others than are in the field. You might try this question over at Ars Technica and see if you can snag a robotics guy to help.
Your talking about smaller components than I typically deal with so I'm not sure about specifics.
From what I've seen on ebay and robotics sites, your probably going to end up using a geared reducer to get smaller than 1 deg increments, like you said. The problem with a gearbox is that it...
I don't know if it's the same for the micro steppers and motors like they use in a floppy, but in the larger industrial units, the encoders can be either incremental or absolute.
An absolute encoder will give it's position even if it's moved without power. Typically absolute encoders in...
Gets your interest really quick.
I agree it's too short, but really, that's part of the fun of it, such as wondering WTF can toss a car aside like a trash can. Nothing they could show would live up to the stuff you can imagine it might be. :) Did that make sense?
Nice to see a POS scammer go down. It always cracks me up how those kind of people feel totally justified with their actions. She even says at some point, "she got what she deserved". The scammer actually believed that she deserved the money!
However, this is a good lesson about why you...
That's a pretty substantial list. The lady in the interview acted like most of the new cars have them, but from reading some of the useful links you guys have posted, I think it's somewhere around only 65%.
