Yes I meant uC
(insert embarrassed smiley here).
If you use a small PIC such as Arduino Nano (small and lightweight) teamed with a barometric pressure sensor (http://www.ladyada.net/learn/sensors/bmp085.html) then you can have the PIC monitor then trigger a solenoid/valve at the right time.
Additionally you can use the PIC to provide other services such as guidance, GPS etc in one small unit.
Hope that helps.

I use it daily for all manner of things and post regularly.
naturally a lot of people signed up for it then lost interest. That's the same for any new thing. Now the honeymoon is over of course there's a trend downwards but it's what Google does now that makes/breaks G+.
I used to use Facebook but it's turned into a cess pit of meaningless drivel. At least now on G+ i get targetted interesting updates about my many hobbies.

hopping from rock to rock - meeting space chicks and running away from noodly appendages. A space cowboy's life for me.
... Go-on-ing around.
Paris - just because.
how about a link so we can see what all the fuss is about?
Good for him though, I like Boris.
We could combine two Reg stories and have:
Nude lady recreates Printer Smashing tantrum scene in Dead Inkjet
"..asking all recipients to delete the previous email.."
yeah like that's gonna happen.
I got a Garmin satnav a few years back for £99 - it came with a free map update which I used. About a year later I wanted to update the map again and found I could subscribe for around £90 for 'lifetime' updates for this device. Suffice to say I did not update it as I could simply get a new one around the same money at a well known car spares chain if they happen to be doing a sale/promotion.
wow that Ninite is pure gold! I use Steam too so between the pair of them I can get almost all my apps done super fast - not that I rebuild my home PC that often TBH.

Yes I know - but the play on words made me chuckle and that's worth more to me then whatever Apple is up to at the mo.
'angry bears'
What about peace-loving hippy ones?
while I respect her right to freedom and to do anything she wants - I gotta say 'schweeeet'.
I find this all very bizarre. A virus that targets fans of a Slovakian motorcycle club? What's next - one that targets the Bournemouth Womens Institute or Milton Keynes Knitting Guild?
oh how I mourn for the days when the 3c509 NIC ruled supreme and those things Just Worked and I still have one running on a 486DX NT4 based server. Yeah, honestly. Why? Just for fun.
or can anyone else still read the obfuscated passwords in the smaller pic?
Why bother worrying about backwards compatibility, I just kept my old PS/2 or you can buy them for peanuts on auction sites. Anyway, once I started playing PS/3 games in HD, my old PS/2 games looked rubbish in comparison to be frank so I rarely play them - just my opinion.
It'll be another £10 on top of the £10 surcharge for the HD package so I'll end up with the Sky+ HD 3D Package!
Paris - cos she looks even more lovely in 3D
but it'll be invalidated at some point with a WGA update won't it?
Actually that report is a good piece of work. At least they do have a guide and not just leave it up to the individual to guess at things.
"Calixte was forced to complete much of the final month of the semester without a computer, phone or network access"
All he had left was the course books, pens and writing books. Must have been a complete shock to find he had to do studying to fill in those long evenings.

Mines the one with the feint ruled notebook in.
What is the VR software going to run on - he says the TV - all well and good but presumeably the TV will needs powerful hardware to run the software. So all it means is my PS3 console will evolve into a plug-in console module or a Sony TV with PS<x> console built in.
So there will always be consoles just not a box like it is now. However as I dislike convergent tech I would prefer to keep to two seperate. If I want to upgrade my future VR hardware I wouldn't want to upgrade the whole TV to do so.
Surely he could have waited for the next mission and he would have got the Uzi.
errr maybe I'm confusing GTAiv life with real-life :-\
I'm still pondering Sky's HD package wondering if it's worth shelling out another tenner on top of the already high price I pay for Sky+. If a channel containing 3D does air then I can see an 'upgrade' cost plus another ten per month for the 'sky 3d mix' with lots of channels no-one wants to watch.
Saying that, I dream of a day when a 'Discovery HD 3D' channel is started cos that'll be awesome.

Paris, because Paris looks better in 3D.
"a) whether it was strictly legal"
How about Celebrity Strictly Legal where we can vote on desperate ex-celebs fighting dramatic courtroom dramas? no?
I completely agree with the other comments on supporting Psion, why should some huge corporates think they can just swat Psion away when they have a seemingly valid claim.
Psion is a great company, I still have fond memories of my old Psion Organiser ][ and the series3, and their current Ikon pda looks like a proper geezers bit of kit unlike those nancy slimline ones.
