Back in the old country we had a dozen currencies, gold and jewels hidden in a fake brick for that exact reason. When you need to buy a train ticket to get away from the Germans or Russians you don't want to be asking "Sorry do yo

I've read your source and it doesn't point to any single behaviour being government by any single brain structure. This shouldn't be a difficult ask. The only hard and fast link there is one where they knock off genes in fema

You didn't but I've heard plenty of people do. If you take for granted that brain physiology in healthy brains impacts brain capacity then you're a couple of stray neurons away from justifying Jim Crow V 2.0, now with more sc

Unix happened because Multics didn't. I don't get why you're being downvoted. If not for massive RnD investment none of the technologies we are using now to send and read bits to each other would have ever been invented.

I would like some evidence that under normal [0] circumstances brains which look different act different. So far it sounds like phrenology at best and racist demagoguery at worst when you compare black brains to white brains instead of fema

Raspbian isn't 'bog standard ubunutu'. The beagle bone black on the other hand does run bog standard everything. The right tool for the right job, the rpi is amazingly cheap and disposable for hardware projects. It is not a g

No, I want a non-commercial license for non-human entities. I don't care if someone is using my software in their family bakery. If anything I'd be super happy about that. What I do mind is someone using my software in their multi

That people are pushing the RPi as a good alternative to a desktop is scary. The thing is a closed source mess with a single arm core hanging off a gpu. A beagle bone black with the XINU book is an amazing introduction to computers because
