Are there embedded linux distributions that work without a memory management unit? I ask is because it looks like the Stellaris doesn't have one. The Memory Protection Unit allows the OS/monitor/etc. to limit access to specified regions f

It completely depends on one's typical ride. If you're climbing 10% grades all day in lycra, then 5 lbs makes an enormous difference. If, on the other hand, you're carrying a 10 lbs lock and 40 lbs of stuff in your panniers, then, yeah, t

The problem is many bikes are legitimately sold for well below MSRP. When a bicycle manufacturer sponsors a college team, they typically sell just-released models to team members for less than wholesale. The members will sell the bike the

Hmm... it seems like the really sweet spot for this type of thing is one that could supply power while you drive. If it could deliver about 7 kW (a little more than the mains plug for a domestic dryer or oven or range), it would supply aro

Depending on the engine computer (or lack thereof), a couple seconds of throttle lag isn't unreasonable. One of the things my flight instructor made a point to show me while learning to fly small planes (with carbureted engines, so the eff

I don't think the state even needs to go that far. Just have a (gradually increasing) number of press conferences where serious-looking men in uniforms talk gravely about the dangers of Bitcoin and how it is used by criminals to facilitate

Hmmm... I think you're still missing the point, so let me try. The point was that for most TV shows the viewer is likely going to watch the entire series not just the current season. The GP's point was not that the back catalog is availa

>But there are reams of math and many fields of science (astronomy, paleontology) that have no practical utility. Really? Just how do you think ships (and airplanes while over water) navigated before GPS? How do you think the radius (a

Sure, but you can get an MSP430 dev kit (stripped down IDE for C; USB dev board with a programmer and a few buttons and LEDs; a couple devices in DIP packages) from TI for $4.30 plus shipping. Also, most microcontroller companies provide al

I'm not sure if you're being a troll, but I'll bite anyway. This is about consumer choice: Motorola clearly does not have any device which effectively competes with the iPhone. Further, allowing Motorola to pick and choose who it competes a
