I'm "building" my own laptop by getting a Motorola Lapdock and an MK802 PC-on-a-stick and glomming them together .. oila! Upgradeable laptop! :)

Sure, its easy to work with. Just don't always try to work with the latest, bleeding edge kernels. Most RT/Safety-Critical Linux kernel installs are still based on 2.6.x, or even some cases, 2.4.x series ..

Linux is used in a lot of places these days, where VxWorks or QNX might've been. I've been responsible for putting Linux to work in SIL-4 critical systems all over Europe, for example, saving millions in licensing costs while at the same t

Yup. I'd be sure happy to find a 17" version one day. ;)

In sunhsine-blessed countries, one does not have a pocket, and indeed I would be happy of my iPad-New if it were light, thin, and would recharge itself while I used it for shade ..

Wow, this + MOAI is going to be a fun week .. ;) Seriously, thanks for the Artwork, its exactly what I need to get things happening in a more creative way on a couple of my MOAI projects. If we make something nice, we'll definitely let yo

It is very interesting because it is a story about the longevity of hardware and software and how, in the end, the decision whether a platform is useful or not is up to the USER and nobody else.

Yeah I've been there since the GP32 days, and have Pandora #008 (the eighth one to ship) so I'm kinda lucky that way .. and yeah, the emu guys are really key to the Pandora scene, a bunch of them are still kicking out titles and optimizing

Fully with you, except I LOL'ed about one thing: an assembler that only makes TWO passes? Ha hah! ;) Yeah, I'm learning new tricks and have a newfound appreciation for those wireheads who always seemed hell bent on optimizing the crap out

I have kept every single 'special' computer along the way, since my first coding days, and I have to say that there is definitely a kind of zen state that occurs when you return to the old systems after decades, and re-code things. It has

With regards to emulation and a return to the classics, I got an Open Pandora ( http://openpandora.org/ ) recently and have been having a blast returning to all my old cartridges, type-ins, tape archives, and so on. My first computer was an

Like you, I have a small suite of old computers still ticking away .. Oric-1/ATMOS (6 of them, soon-to-be networked to an Oric Telestrat), Atari Portfolio, C64, SGI O2, BeBox, PPC-based tiBook, &etc. Old computers are still hell useful.

As long as things keep going multi-core, ARM is going to be just fine for me. x86 compatability not such a need.. We've got Linode for that. ;) Most PC-on-Sticks' use HDMI video output. I have a small dodgy cable rig to go from HDMI out t

Yeah I'm closely watching the tablet space, if I can get a 17" tablet with ultra-high res, plug in a PC-on-a-stick, and use a keyboard with it, I'll have my development machine again. I just can't really sit there for long on a 15" screen,

I hear it. I'm a stickler for comfort and design, so I'll be going for the thinnest, slabbiest, least-dent-prone thinkpad I can find when the time comes. I really do insist on the slab - i.e. as few indentations as possible - approach, so

I'm using the Lapdock Atrix, but yeah, same thing as the 500 basically. I really think Lapdock+PC-On-Stick is my new direction, away from the Apple Hegemony. It is simply amazing being able to carry my Ubuntu workstation with me in my poc

If I have to buy another laptop again, it'll be a Thinkpad. Nice to hear its solid.

I've been trying to kick the Apple habit since I got my first tiBook, which was the _revelation_ for me at the time, that Apple of all people were producing the Unix laptop, and also making the physicality of the thing badass. So, in my eff

I think you are right, its probably some metamaterial like shark skin, where the surface of the exchanger itself is designed to prevent frost crystallization from occurring .. i.e. the metamaterial is geared towards the properties of water

I don't, but you can see lots of great RC stuff on http://thingiverse.com/ as well as in the forums of http://rcgroups.com/ where there are a great deal of hobbyist builders pressing these new techs - as always - into serious use.

This sort of feels like an argument with someone who prefers to optimize the hell out of things in the best possible way. Thats a fair position to have and to take in this day and age. What virtualization allows you to do is optimize the o

To be fair, if we get a good handle on available resources once we're there, the likelihood that we can send a 3d-printer to Mars that will build a living base is quite high. The assemble-in-place science can be made to work, and I believe

I'm already 3d-printing most parts of the RC foamies that I need (except .. the foam materials itself), so .. props, control-surface elements (horns), motor-mounts, etc. So, its at least happening ("sudo 3dprint airplane") on the micro- le
