BallFinder SCOUT tracks down golf balls with scanning camera

This device is not to save costs an new balls. In a golf game you have to find your ball after each hit to continue the game (and do not get any additional points), so here the device might help. Without these additional points you might as well just pretend to not find a ball that is in a bad position.

There is no need for such a thing. You can mount any USB stick such that the content gets encrypted. Furthermore a key with 128bit (which is one out of 2^128, so about 3.4 * 10^28) cannot be cracked by brute force in reasonable time, if a random key is assumed and you don't have a computer which is by some million factor faster than all current computers (including Blue Gene and so on).

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
