Yeah I think I saw a project with motion sensor hooked up to your computer on Lifehacker, Makezine or something like that so it shouldn't be too hard to do it with an arduino or something simliar.

k thanks, I got it to work

I use the 2 gigs of Dropbox for files that im currently using and i have usb drives and a home nas for the rest

No I seem to remember reading that and LTS is every 3 releases and theres a release every 6months making the LTS release every 1.5 years

My machine boots off USB just fine. I got LInux live USb creator to work and its running fine, thanks for the help anyway

does the DD command include persitance or just makes it bootable? I can't get the Linux Live USB creator to make the drive bootable

Is there any tool that will take the BT4 iso and 'burn' it to usb? Windows or (ubuntu)linux

Darren said that its best to have an floppy or .img file. So I got the files for the ntpasswrd floppy disk version but the .zip file has a bdxxxxxx.bin, install.bat and rawrite2.exe From what I understand you are supposed to insert a floppy disk and then use the bat file to turn the .bin to a .img file but I don't have floppies or a floppy drive for that matter. Is there any floppy simulator or a source to download an .img version? Thanks

I think it should. It might still work since the chip is insulated with hot glue ... but I'm not going to try it.

Materials Thin Strips of Balsa or other soft wood (I used the sides of a clementine box) USB Thumbdrive Hot Glue or similar (Epoxy?) Tools Xacto Knife (or similar sharp tool) Optional: Cheap Set of wood carving tools Make sure you have two strips of wood that are equal in thickness and that when piled together the two are about the same thickness as the original casing. Split apart the original plastic casing. Tip: look for a seam and score along that seam WARNING: Though the chips are tough you could seriously damage one with the knife if you aren't careful. Carefully mark along where the major bumps are on the chip and duplicate each side on the respective strips of wood. Slowly carve out those marked areas until they can successfully enclose the entire chip. MAKE SURE to leave a few millimeters or more of space on the edges to fully enclose the chip. Hot glue the pieces together. Note use the glue sparingly. Optional: Burn/mark the wood with a sodering iron.

Don't worry I'm not on a Mac. I know there's Google but is there any good place to start learning Python? ;)

wheres a good place to start learning python if you are a complete noob with no programming experience like me?

I'm a noobie when it comes to programming and I really want to learn. But what language to learn and where to start? Thanks in advance
