    Even compared to a SFF PC, a Pi takes up basically no space and works great with a passive cooler. And you can run it from a battery pack and thus develop on it using your tablet while at your favourite Starbucks.

    Same here. I've once `dd`'d a VideoCD into a `*.iso` file and there's seemingly no app that can read it now. VLC only detects the video stream and plays whatever frames it can decode, but since it's mixed with CD layout
