Ultimate extreme feedback device

A pair checks in code that breaks the build. The build interrogates subversion to identify the commiters and the usb missile launcher locks on and launches. The missile lands on the desk of the pair, or bounces off a head, notifying them that they've broken the build. If only that could really be automated.

I've been looking at writing something to control any particular USB device by controlling power to the USB port but for this particular device, I'd say you could at least do screen scraping if no API was available.

Hi Jason

Yeah, I'd considered screenscraping but the thought of doing that made me cringe :). I do so hate screenscraping after having to do it a few years back.

Si.
