I could see a NAS needing to be upgraded more often than this device. If the software and feature set were stable and mature enough then I can't see you needing to upgrade it very often.

I was thinking more of a Raspberry Pi, though obviously combining this device with the router does make sense.

If consumer networks were as reliable as roads and the electricity grid, why would I bother giving my data to someone so they can put it in a datacenter?. The future I would like best is a device on the end of my home internet connection. I

I think this letter is silly, but it is a partly a problem that Apple helped create. The closed nature of the App store leads people to think that apps purchased through it can never be malicious, they probably think Apple check every line

I don't think the author implied anything other than correlation, but interesting question none the less.

As I understand it, pre 9/11 air travel domestically in the USA was like hopping on a bus. Europe had terrorist incidents involving planes long before 9/11. As a consequence air travel (domestic or international) had greater security check

They aren't going to stop writing checks, they are going to write checks to different politicians (or people trying to get elected). While the electorate are apathetic, moneyed interests will get their way.

I agree, whilst Stewart spends most of his time poking fun at the establishment, he isn't actually anti establishment. Most of his material comes from picking up on hypocrisy by politicians when they make essential compromises in their head

In the UK it is commonly said "you don't vote people in, you vote them out". It would be nice if we could be more pro active and avoid some of this nonsense.

The hypocrisy of republicans (and some democrats) amazes, they boast about freedom but they hate liberalism. They want everyone to believe in the same religion and are happy to use authoritarian tactics to achieve it.

This is where bitcoin may be useful.

I would say the queen is more popular than the political establishment as it is.

How is it different from Walmart opening a store in a small town, putting local shops out of business by undercutting them, then deciding they don't make enough money and closing?.

I think the argument against SOPA has yet to break out of the tech echo chamber. To be honest I think SOPA is inevitable, most people won't be able to grasp the level of injustice involved until it is enforced.

Marketing companies tend to specialise, think of the big labels as music marketing companies if you like, they have expertise and relationships (radio, physical and digital distributors) that a generic advertising firm doesn't. The smarter

Really excited about the pi, I can see lots of hackers doing interesting things with these.

I have similar battery life on my Desire Z. The shortcuts thing is kinda fixable, you need to disable each keyboard shortcut.

And this is unrelated to their upcoming big announcement on the 15th, there has been speculation that they will start accepting bitcoin.

I live in the UK as well. Clearly there is a "democratic deficit" in the current structure of the EU. This is a problem that will have to be righted one way or another. In the long run I am optimistic and pro Europe, I don't have a problem

Collision detection is the big thing for me, sure you can fake it with invisible polygons but that usually leads to weirdness in the player experience.

But interestingly it does appear to lead to less google searches being performed for those keywords. As to the affect this has upon actual visits to the sites in question, only they can say.

Isn't the real danger from the ocean garbage patches that the rubbish breaks down to the point where you can't easily collect it up?.

It could be taken down, I guess a game of whack a mole would ensue with mirrors popping up.

I am not sure I would like UK "culture" to be judged by our eurovision entries and suspect most europeans would feel the same. The UK does have a problem though, in many ways we are much more like america economically than the rest of europ

Anything that could push ssd prices down in the long run is good news. I am really hoping MicroSoft and Sony decide to put an SSD in their upcoming consoles, that kind of volume would help lower prices too.

I also really enjoyed that book, it was a good mix between the technical stuff and Turings life, I learnt a lot from it.

I think I am a better programmer for having used C. C is interesting because like php it is very easy to end up with an unmanageable code base (but of course C is a lot more powerful than php). I learnt a lot from good C code, the best C li
