Suckers! :) Who would pay 10 pounds for a 75 year old piece of junk that didn't even work? I mean if you're going to be all steampunk, at least interface with a USB-C connector and use the machine to live tweet the announcement.

one manufacturer that did anticipate the 'death of desktop' was nVidia, as powering the "iPad killer", Pixel C.

I tasted American 'bread' once. :) $.99 bread might possibly be a regression, flavour-wise. You do craft some mighty fine bagels though!

those poor extra-ordinary Americans, the Amish, who are leading similar lives to their ancestors 100 years ago, free from the burdens of 21st century technology... Richer but not necessarily more contented.

Not necessarily. Anne Hathaway, Bill Shakespeare's wife and star of The Dark Knight Rises, was born in 1982. :)

Well by the same token AMD is entering the ARM chip business. 7 years ago they sold their Imageon GPU to Qualcomm, which is now going gangbusters inside every Snapdragon-based phone.

Well if that the case, it's more likely to be an issue of a specific chipset. i.e. buying a computer in this day and age designed for 32bit Windows. And I do sympathise with buyers of cheap tablets but by comparison, Intel had a coup

Which is possibly more to do with drinking scoldingly hot liquid than the chemical composition. My late father had oesophageal cancer from drinking up to a dozen cups of tea a day, with reflux.

I tried the quiz and scored about 4/8. I'm probably a little more permissive in letting people express their opinions if it means they dig their own holes. I know nothing of this soccer caper but aside from the last sentence, it s

headless, you're still stuck with Windows Explorer as a window manager. I don't use a particularly fancy WM/DE under Linux but it's the little things such as middle click paste, and window operations such as maximize hor

Will this work on Windows Phone? It would seem like this compatibility layer goes some of the way to running Android apps on WP10. But it might be handy to have a GNU/Linux distro in your pocket, coupled with Continuum, running inside

$230 drive for a $35 computer; surely these aren't in the same niche?

I bought a preloved 7yo Toshiba from the local pawn shop for $AU50. It came with a 3 month warranty but is still alive 7 months later. Specs are adequate for my university studies. Replacement 3 hour battery for $AU15 + shipping on ebay. I

I see this as an opportunity for existing land owners to replace a house. Every summer, somewhere in Australia, we have whole rural communities razed by bushfire. Rebuilding is costly and time consuming and there's a threat that fire m

Well it is based on a pared-down Android build system complete with adb and fastboot access. Maybe crowdfunding? Replicate the Cyanogenmod infrastructure and provide automated releases on every CM12.x device for Fx OS and others (Replicant,

My laptop that had BIOS only got to the bootloader and crashed soon after doing the disk write test. My NUC is set to UEFI but only successfully ran by manually selecting it in legacy, as you say.

Mouse support in the OS has been there a while, a friend had one of the early Asus Transformers some 4 years ago with a trackpad.

Are you running the same architecture? assuming Remix is a 32 bit download. e.g. I have previously had problems with virtualbox and a 32 bit guest on a 64 bit host (old cpu/chipset combo)
