In addition to the easy to install, easy to use IDE, I'd say the real innovation was a standard, idiot-proof way of programming the AVR with a well known bootloader. From back when I was working on AVRs at university (2003-2004), I rem

Sure. But do you think FFOS will be closer to FreeBSD or closer to WebOS?
123.
by snom380 11y ago
So, are there anyone that are working on developing FFOS further? If not, it's dead for all practical purposes. Just like WebOS is dead even though that was open sourced as well. I'm not excited at all to see what they do with con

Can't any platform claim that as a benefit? For a consistent platform to have any value you'd like it to stick around for some time... Unlike FirefoxOS.

Isn't the SSD replaceable on all of them? Sure, there are trade offs, but do you think built in Ethernet is important enough to warrant making a laptop thicker, given the WiFi speeds we have today?

My guess is for location services to provide better altitude accuracy than with GPS alone. That can be used to figure out if your on or below an overpass, if your on the second floor of some building etc and take elevation into account when

The same can be said about almost any terrorist action. They're not generally limited by what is possible to do, but mostly by what people are willing to do. That something like this hasn't happened just shows that there just aren

The drones you buy at RC shops, yes. Do a YouTube search for jet powered RC planes and you'll find several that exceed the takeoff speed of a commercial airliner.

I know what NFC is. I know how easy it is to implement and how cheap it is (I have two dev boards myself). I was making a joke. My point was that after Apple releases something, many competitors often follow the same path, even though said

Is the payment industry prepping for fingerprint authenticated NFC? In half a year we're likely to see discussions about how whatever Apple is launching in 9 days was "obvious" and how they once again just happened to catch t

Doesn't CouchBase Mobile Sync Gateway do something similar?

There's a difference between bugs that cause downtime and bugs that endanger the life of the patient, and I think the FDA is primarily concerned with the latter. I would think a bug that caused the wrong image to be captured and could

I agree about equipment failure, I used those examples to point out that just because something has occurred several times before doesn't mean you can discount it as a potential contributing factor. A better example is the sterile cock

And such weapons exist. And military pilots were helmets that protects against sunlight _and_ bright light. If lightning is anticipated, one of the pilots of an airliner will usually wear sunglasses to protect the night vision. And it&#x27

You obviously don't know what kind of lasers are available for purchase online. They're not your average presentation laser pointers. I know one pilot that completely lost his night vision in approach after a green laser hit the w

If you are so certain of that, I have an experiment I would like to test with you. One includes you looking into one of these lasers that can light cigarettes. Next up I will give you basic landing training and you get to land a small aircr

Apple made a connector that they hope might last for 10 years like the 30 pin connector. During that time, USB has gone through mini, micro a/b and now the micro USB 3 connector, and the USB forum recently announced that they are worki

Most likely it would have been called "ObamaAir" by critics and would have forced a government shutdown before a flawed compromise would be implemented. :) More seriously, a next generation system that they are looking to implemen

Read the Soliforums, disassemble the hot end and clean it with acetone and/or a torch. Worked for me. Or consider ordering another hot end like the E3D one. Solidoodle support is famous for not giving proper advice out of fear of liab

I'd be happy to use and pay for Sandstorm hosting if that meant I could take all my data and apps and move it elsewhere at any time. I think it's a big win.

The question itself wasn't about government investigation, Schmidt himself added that. If the context around the question was about that, you should include it.

I'd say that capsule machines cater to the people that don't want to spend time making their coffee. For them, I'd rather recommend a good super automatic than a manual like the Rancilio.

Well, for one he also tried to push his co-founder out of the company while he was sick in hospital. If he wasn't a sociopath at the time, he sure acted like one.

It makes perfect sense when the top priority is being able to isolate electrical systems in case of an electrical fault or an in-flight fire: http://www.askthepilot.com/malaysia-airlines-flight-370/

Regardless of their plans, they still need to handle the leaking groundwater, which AFAIK wasn't a big problem at Chernobyl.
