Ability to install alternative operating system (such as Linux) extends life expectancy of hardware. That is important for ecology, lower carbon emissions... I can easily imagine EU to pass new law, which would require "signed bootloa

It is not that obvious. I use text terminal to access other computers every day. I also use Links (text only browser) every day.

I am bit skeptical to this deposit method. Large stock can easily control perhaps 10% of all coins. I think that might be enough to cause fork. Reward is huge, risk low (declare hack and go bankrupt).

Does not work in ANY web browser: 1) it requires internet connection. 2) it requires JS and graphical browser. Links console browser for example does not work.

But I am talking about something like RPi2 on higher frequency, more ram and small ssd. I bet it will run better than this archaic machine with P4. Faster memory transfer rate, SSD, proper video acceleration makes a huge difference. P4 had

Also unprivileged version would be nice. Java Web Start or applet. People still use those.

I am concerned with energy consumption of this device. Pentium 4 class computer consumes 40 watts while idle. ARM cpu would work just as fine (Ubuntu). I think this devices should not be called green, unless they disclose power efficiency r

And people pay $80 for this? ARM device from China will be cheaper, smaller,more power efficient and will run Ubuntu just as fine. > 2.8Ghz P4 or better CPU (pentium 4 is very very green) > 80GB SATA HD (spin it yeah, Ubuntu comfor

I think we are two different threads. Signa11 already has good headphones, even amp and DA. Question is what headphones, DA and amp is best for upgrade. I am sorry, I just disagree that mac book pro is the answer.

I do it sometimes as well, I would not call sound fantastic, but its ok for movies and remastered (flat) music. But so does $120 Major. I just think it is really bad advice. Why buy expensive headphones optimised for amps without amp? Just

I am bit sceptical. I would not trust phone number associated with my bank account to similar service. Also double or even triple sim phones are very cheap and can recieve text globaly.

Lets put it other way. I never experienced speakers, which give similar sound details as headphones.

hm, I am bit lost in this gadgets, but d3 seems like expensive imac stuff. Anyway its probably fine for now, great for traveling, and over time buy something better even if its second hand.

Bullshit. Thats are 80 ohm professional studio headphones. Wasted money without amplifier. Even novice can pickup difference in 10 minutes.

It is not just headphones, but also amplifier and DA. My stuff is 10 years old, so I am probably not best adviser. And I have more sets, one is bit more pricey. Anyway for daily beating at office I would recommend DT 770 PRO, 80 Ohms. In m

I only do headphones. I can recognize 160kbps mp3 from 320kbps. Decent headphone setup is around $500, with performance of a few milliwatts. Now scale power 1000x, I bet price will go up as well. Probably exponentially.

Stalinism was the worst dissaster which happened to Russia since the napoleonic wars or even mongols. It is also responsible for one of the bigest genocide of all times (slavic peasants). I really have hard time to grasp why articles even d

There are intersting talks about reverse engineering intel processors under microscope. We also reversed ram, floppy and some hdds. Cybernetics was considered western science, and most scientists had west connection. Good example is Antonin
