   Why does bitdash require Flash? I tried to use it (Firefox 38 on Linux) but it says: "No supported technology was detected, i.e. neither Flash nor the MediaSource Extension was found and no HLS manifest was given or HLS is also not sup

   What language is Dwarf Fortress written in? It is closed source, isn't it? I assume it is, like ADOM, to keep the secrets. Though there is an obvious solution: you could separate the game data from the engine, and open-source the engin

   Odroid C1+ is a better alternative, as it has hardware gigabit Ethernet and still inexpensive ($35). [1] Raspberry Pi's have USB-based Ethernet; it has poor throughput and I heard reports of Ethernet hanging under load. It's bette

   This is revolutionary enough for me. Make an electric car for everyone on Earth and you've used up all available lithium; what are you going to do then?

   I wonder how can delivery with drones be more economically effective than with cars and drivers, with "distances of 10 miles or more"? Which, if I'm not mistaken, still somewhat exceeds capabilities of today's drones.

   That's why I am switching to ESR branch of Firefox: to only have to deal with the new crap Mozilla introduces, once a year. I think I'll also need to create a script to run after installation or something like that, which will set

   This is the most unbelievable and I heard it before: when an open source software starts including proprietary bloatware like that, one might think there is money involved...

    I don't like paying money for devices and services that are able to steal my data and/or spy on me. I would like a security camera that is not able to connect to the outside world (when I'm back, it would allow me to see wh

    Do you want to have multiple boards in a laptop? In that case, it would be great to have high-speed interconnect between them, I guess.

    Aren't the actual, truly genuine Lenovo parts made there, too? Hong Kong is a Chinese territory.

    I've been buying some ThinkPad chargers on eBay and never encountered outright fraud. When they say genuine , they really are. Otherwise they use different words.

    You probably haven't tried poor imitation Apple USB cables. My brother bought a (probably especially poor) lot of 3 on Aliexpress and went through all 3 in a week! Maybe they did not use solder at all?

    I have included "feature phones" in my original comment. None boot close to 1 second, and these, too, include a lot of functionality that I would like stripped out.

    I would love to have a phone with a hell of a lot of stuff stripped out. I guess manufacturers don't.

    Why isn't any phone doing it? (either smart or feature variety)

    When would you actually need a relational database running on such a small platform, today? I understand programming in general and microcontrollers; I was paid to program one. Still, surely nowadays a system with a tiny 8-bit microcontro

    ...though still the latest and sanest of that crop of micro's, IMHO. Designed in 1996, it was once marketed as "the first new 8-bit architecture designed in 20 years", I believe :-)

    I don't think there are any. For such laptops to exist, there should exist a memory controller that supports ECC RAM. Intel's chips have memory controller built-in, since Nehalem (2008) [1] and Intel has no mobile CPUs with ECC su

    I didn't mean to disagree argue that; just didn't have enough time to think this question over before typing. Yes, death is not a binary state physically, but it is legally. This is what cryonics counts for. Also, conscience is no

    Personally, I'm with you on this. Cryonically suspending a person that died from brain damage or debilitating disease has even more fleeting chance for success. Unless there's a chance that at the moment of death the conscience is

    In this case, probably $80,000. This is Alcor, the most established and expensive option. Their list prices are $80,000 for neuro (brain only), $200,000 for whole body preservation [1] There are various funding options. [2] Cryonics Institu
