   Typically the worst blob are the GPU drivers, and it seems to work with the normal open source i915 driver, which is pretty much as good as it gets.

   I'm using an ifc6410 board as a home server, and as long as you stay with 2.5" disks all you need is 5V. The ifc and as it seems the Minnowboard as well provide 5V, so all you have to do is build your own adapter to SATA power. I

   I wouldn't call the minnowboard a microcontroller, it's more similar to other single board computers like the Pandaboard and the odroid boards. And 2GB are already common for such boards, so 4GB are really not far off.

   Signed up in the hope to find some time to have a go at this. But it would be great to have some idea what the task will be beyond "creating a race car bot".

   This is already part of many modern cars, with the added feature that the car will also automatically break before you hit a cyclist. See for example http://www.euroncap.com/rewards/volkswagen_city_emergency_br...

   I agree with a lot of that, especially the key repeat speed. You can get it even faster than what the UI offers by manually setting it with defaults. I would add to this list: - BetterTouchTool ( http://www.boastr.de/ ) with

    That doesn't match my experience at all. Find the maintainer of the relevant subsystem, talk to them via mail or IRC about what's bugging you and how to improve it, implement it, send a patch and it will most likely be accepted. W

    I bought mine directly from inforce ( http://www.inforcelive.com/index.php?route=product/product&f... ). There are a few similar boards like the odroid-xu, but the IFC6410 is currently the only one with both SATA and

    After being not very satisfied with OpenWRT on a router as a fileserver (it's great overall, but file transfers are just too slow), I'm now using an IFC6410 as my home server. It doesn't use much more power than the linked NA

    Try VMware Fusion instead of Virtualbox, for me it runs way better and is easily worth the premium.

    I don't think the number of cores is really useful for determining the number of web workers to run in parallel. If you want to push for something, push for a mechanism that frees you from having to set the number of workers to spawn.

    Well, it said 9 cores on my laptop with 2 (plus hyperthreading, so 4). But why even try to estimate the number of cores? Just call it a benchmark that tries to find the number of threads you should run.
