To be fair, the Pi opened the floodgates in terms of ARM boards; there are now loads of them.. not $25 but nothing like the insane pre-pi prices. The beaglebone black from TI is a good step up: 1Ghz A8 (~2x rPi performance), 1GB ram, $45. T

Are you able to give any indication what might be included (or not) in such minimum functionality?

Acer are already doing this with chromebooks and indeed, a lot are buying the 199 version.

You were invited to sell yourself, and instead of taking that opportunity, you took your toys and went off somewhere else. Maybe your boss should have known your market rate, the quality and quantity of your work, how important to the com

I think on the contrary, sports leagues would delight at the possibility of re-selling their premium 'seats' over and over. And I don't think it would prevent people visiting physically, doing so provides a social and physica

Anarchism is against private property, not personal property. It has no issue owning your own house, car, laptop, etc etc. That is yours and does not belong to the state, or 'everyone', or anyone else. It just does not want rent

Allow me to articulate my issue with it. It pushes the impression that these are the creative geniuses that are pushing things forward. Someone else just has to do the 'little detail' of making it work. The engineers that spend

See UMPCportal. My favourite is the Asus T100, but it suffers from the problem with most of the current crop of Bay Trail-T devices; 2GB of soldered RAM. 64GB model will be around for $300 around black friday. The HP Pavillion x2 should hav

FYI (re: consumer Atom) Intel have just started taking Atom seriously again, after majorly neglecting it for the previous 5 years. The current Silvermont/Bay Trail is twice as fast as the last, bringing C2D+ performance (eg 2010 MBA) w

Interestingly I (also UK) got the same, except missing the ad about mining. Isn't this tailoring (presumably with some basis in the users' behaviour) a substantial part of what is increasing their revenues (thus share price)?

I'm disappointed to see no comments here whatsoever that are addressing one of the central (and AFAICT unsupported) claims of this article-- that regular melatonin use can reduce the amount of sleep needed by almost an hour. I have no

It is legal to import prescription-only medicine into the UK, providing it does not have a higher level of scheduling too.

A business sector has arisen to address this issue- companies will pay for and install the panels for free, allowing the household to consume the electricity for free, whilst the company will profit from the subsidy for the generation. Of c

I believe xbryanx was referring to the externalities (ie the costs arising from pollution, global warming, etc that traditionally go unpaid by the producer) rather than just the financial cost of producing the power.

You could just cut the data wires of the USB cable you wish to use. Simple, cheap and effective.

Software disabling is little use when the issue only exists because of a lack of trust in the software (ie NSA co-operation).

There is such a thing as a peaceful revolution. Although I feel such a revolution in the US is less likely than in almost everywhere else.

Well thanks for replying I suppose. The reality is that the alternative is that customers get no SMB server, and will have to use other file interfaces. The appliances you mention.. well you didn't actually mention any specifically.. b

Hi there, hopefully you will still see this.. No religious objection. The problem for me with GPLv3 is that it is not compatible with (privately) signed code. If it is possible to run unsigned code on my appliance then my proprietary code w

Related: I take it there is no maintained open source SMB server that isn't GPL3 these days? Sucks since apple abandoned samba2. How stupid would it be to use apple's old samba2 for an appliance? (guess: very?)

France is completely different, she is employed either hourly- a maximum of 35 hours/week- or employed daily, ie. 218 days a year (for starters). EDIT: @nawitus: Sorry but your data is totally useless for this purpose. 1) it's the whole e
