I wonder why they chose not to add a full-size HDMI port. A lot of people have HDMI cables/TVs at home, but I guess most of them do not have micro-HDMI cables. The device doesn't ship with one, either. From the viewpoint of the customer, th

Setting up a RPi could not be easier. Arch is now available in hard-float, which makes it worth using. It's really just a matter of sudo dd bs=1m if=Image.img of=/dev/rdiskX . Once you're done, configure your unit, update and install des

The title is wrong. Québec is Canada's largest province, bigger than Ontario by about 500K km^2. Nunavut is the biggest land mass of the country, considering territories and provinces.

Pedantically: Marx never called himself a Marxist. When he co-wrote (with Engels) the Manifesto, it was to consolidate the contemporary Communist thought into a distributable, available pamphlet. It would help if more people read the Manife

I was just referring to the pamphlet, not taking sides :)

Does anybody have an idea why there's only one pin left untouched?

After witnessing my dad's troubles with TimeMachine, I bought a copy of SuperDuper!. It's amazing software, and it saved me once now, it's been only a year since I've been using it. Hard-drive fails? Plug in external one, and use your compu

Woops. I should have been clearer, my bad. I'm still on Lucid Lynx.

Communist Manifesto, 1848. Take some time to read it - even if you don't agree with the ideas - and indulge in that 19th century prescience.

I guess this means I will not be upgrading from the last LTS :/

I've had ecstasy once, 8 years ago. It was blissful, really. I've also had psilocybin on 5 occasions. The first and second were particularly scary, because I held so tightly to my "normal" self. I then learned to completely abandon myself t

It's important that such research is done, but there's a caveat. Usually, people will take MDMA for pleasure, in a peaceful setting - not in an MRI machine. I wonder to what extent this can affect the readings of the MRI. Any brain scientis

I think you could have made the effort of introducing the gentlemen as _South_ Africans. The title seems contemptuous, to me.

I bought my Raspberry Pi a week ago, and I thought about the exact same thing! I have a Kindle 4, though. Nice work!

Best of luck with the project. I think the really good idea is the open-source spectral library. You need to educate your readers a bit more, though. They need to be aware of the kind of spectroscopy the machine does, i.e UV-Vis, and what i

Scientific journalism at its worst. Really, this is fucking ridiculous.

I think the link's simply malformed. This makes more sense: http://pragprog.com/titles/tpp But still, no option to buy.

I second that. I'd like my government to do the same! Don't really care about the versioning system, as long as it's open-source and alive.
