Seems to be clocked a lot higher than the lower cost arduino models. And has a little more memory. So it might be worse suited to battery-powered applications, unless you do some power managment. Not that I know what you would necessarily d

But if you slap a label onto every app that does any internet communication it has about the same effect as if you'd slap it onto none of them.

It is technically a sequel to Half Life 2 so I'd say there was some hype to it.

I don't understand what this argument is. I think the FDA was approving medicines long before the precise molecular mechanisms were known. Even with unknowns you can still study outcomes and legislate around them. Instead you seem to p

The consolidation seems to be really accelerating in the video game space in the last couple of year. Microsoft, EA, Sony Worldwide Studios and other seem to be on an acquisition spree.

I was surprised how easy it was. I searched for a version for my cousin to use (she doesn't have the money and won't make money from using it, but she was taught how to use it in school). The warez scene nowadays have pre-patched

Immigrants are a very self-selected group don't you think. Would you think that 100% of the people you know would either * have the ability to pass the legal immigration process of the US if they weren't citizens * have the courag

> A lot of it is luck too Yeah it is. But if you model it as a statistical likelihood and you start two populations at different distributions you would see how long it would take for them to "catch-up" as a group. What you

I think I'm missing something. How is ARM closing things up? Does Apple have a bunch of processor extensions that make it incompatible with other ARM processors? Or do you think they'll take the chance to kill boot-camp or somethi

It's interesting how quickly analytically solving this problem gets almost impossible (the problem being 'given a start position and a desired end position, how do you maneuver there). I've had a lecture that was basically ju

Yeah, I've been doing the same thing. Although I only use it for text chatting in the browser. I don't know if video or audio calls work with it.
