The "tablet of the highest quality" has been around for a while, when the quoted price was still $250. So it's possible that this status has recently been superseded by the new target price (and thus downgraded processor).

Well, as the linked article says, he basically coined the term "Bayesian network" and developed much of the underlying theory (e.g., which kind of independencies it can/cannot capture). This was arguably a crucial step for many areas of mod

You probably meant "negligible" ;) But I otherwise agree that nothing much will come of this.

Amazing indeed. I would pay for large printouts / posters of some of these -- sadly the shop on the site does not seem to carry anything like it...

I am aware that Linus has that reputation, but glancing over the post and comments, it seemed like a good, factual discussion in this case. Did I miss something?

Incidentally, the game in question (Edge) is part of the current Humble Bundle, including a version for Android devices. I've already had quite a bit of fun with it on my way to work. :) Edit: Kinda obvious, but here's the link http://www.

Great idea and I like what I'm seeing so far. I assume it's based on pdflatex, as opposed to latex + dvipdf / (dvips + ps2pdf) ? FWIW, I just imported a document I'm working on to check things out. It gives a bunch of warnings (underfull \h

The Cr-48 discussed here was given out for free (sort of like a beta tester program), so that was by definition subsidized. ;) And as far as I could tell, the "actual" Chromebooks that went on sale later one have been priced comparable to t

Very nice, worked flawlessly when I just tested it with a friend (other than having to kill the java process by hand in the end). Thanks in particular for supporting Linux!

Thanks for the link. Has anyone tried this and the Disconnect extension and can share how they compare?

I was in the same boat and ended up switching to Xubuntu -- and I don't regret it for one second. I get all the good stuff ("just works") with a sleek, customizable UI, that also happens to be very frugal wrt. system resources. It's a win-w
