Quick tip: Link local addresses in IPV6 are mandatory and all start with "fe80:". If you've enabled IPv6 on your machine but don't use IPv6 on your network, this is probably what you will see from ifconfig. If you try to ssh user@fe80:0123

To be sort of fair, Mr Edison was an engineer, and it was back in a time when there was more 'empirical' methods rather than predictive theories of why such and such happened. So, when there's an emphasis on building things, knowing all of

Hmm...I guess my memory isn't so keen. Maybe I was thinking of another system. It was called 'cherry' something but it was under but closer to $100. But I see your point. Incidentally that 1/10th cost is one of the reasons I want to get int

Hi, I'd love to start making systems like Raspberry Pi. How does one start designing entire system boards like this? I know digital circuits and simple DC circuits. What else do I need to know? I've heard of Eagle before but I don't know to

That list of criticisms isn't really so harsh but rather honest constructive suggestions and realistic assessments of where 3D printing is now. That being said, there are a lot of comparisons to 70s era computers and it seems to be a valid

Or better yet, you could even write your own OS on new hardware and not have to get permission (or whatever it is we have to do in the future).

So how does this work if, say, I have an mbox file with messages from 7 months ago and also yesterday? Do they get to snag the entire mbox file or do they have to painstakingly filter out messages from the files?

It depends on what your goals are, too. To get down to a 'normal' weight where you look slender but kind of doughy you can probably just cut calories. If you want to be muscular, lean then it's not so simple.
