The standard RPI os seemed crap to me too that's why i switched it to Arch. Hardware wise the USB hub is probably the weakest part in it and that's where they have the most issues. Plus the fact that some hardware part are undocum

If you can't even get your foot in the door there's no way you're going to get in. That's why most chips are priced out of reach of small companies. Even if they have something revolutionary they may never get the chance

I suspect there were just enough heavy elements to kick-start life at the microscopic level but I doubt there was enough for a sentient species to develop at that time. Then again all life could have originated at that time and just now got

Oh, that's really expensive. I guess it's ok for small amounts though but for large amounts 25% is way overkill. Credit/Debit cards incur a fixed charge of say (max) £1.50 so that would mean that if you're paying more th

If this "War on Hackers" truly becomes an issue this could potentially be the most damaging war in the American economy. Hackers are nothing like drug dealer the same people that vandalize a few websites when their teenagers and p

Lol, old Nokia 'brick' phones had auto-complete this is completely ridiculous. Does that mean that now that every phone uses a touch screen no other phone can have auto-complete functionality?

Typical American double standard. We promote free speech but don't you dare use it in a way we don't approve. Is that really free speech then? I'm not free to say/do anything you don't approve of. And since when is

Not quite a hacker judge but certainly the best qualified judge in the system to rule on programming matters. Got to admire his willingness to learn and his ability to recognize when he needs to learn something before ruling.

Personally as one of those pirates they are trying to stop piracy is only an issue when your content is not easily accessible the legal way or it is too expensive. I have experienced both. For instance songs are very cheap when your monthly
