That's the thing, it's part of the DOCSIS standard so if you buy your own modem that the ISP never touches they can still change its firmware.

Wow that sounds like an awesome way for the NSA or anyone else to take over your home network. Splice into your home cable from outside, send down some nasty modem firmware, then patch the connection back up and you'll never know the

Google+ was a Google Reader killer, and I'm still mad about it.

What's the tooling like for this ISA, anyone know? IMHO that's what will make or break this thing. If you can't output code for it from GCC or LLVM then why even bother looking at it.

Stuff like handicapped access, fire escapes, sprinkler systems etc. can be eschewed from the grey area apodments fall into. Because each unit doesn't have a full kitchen it's not classified the same way as a normal apartment so t

These are already a thing in Seattle--they call them 'apodments': http://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/seattles-mic... There's a lot of controversy around them though as they're in a gra

Why deny any content then? Each content creator is another opportunity to make money off of advertisements, etc. If there's a concern about adult or other objectionable content then put that behind a section people have to agree to v

I'm sure people said the Apple I looked ugly too. That didn't stop it from revolutionizing home computing.

People have been eating hot dogs for years and years without major issue, I think you'll be fine. The saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium is a bigger concern to be worried about.

I've used cmus a bit and really like it--the simplicity is great if you have a lot of albums. Graphical players always bog down, are slow to scroll, etc.

You probably want to check out Yocto instead: https://www.yoctoproject.org/ There's a lot more info on OpenEmbedded and the Yocto project there. This is really interesting stuff for embedded Linux in particular. You

That's a heck of a bet for Intel to make considering Windows phone is 2% global market share and shrinking. Not trying to bash Windows phone either (I owned a WP7 device), it's just the reality that even MS is starting to come to

Dig a little deeper, there are plenty of modern classical music composers. Just last year I saw the opening of John Adam's Become Ocean and it was fantastic modern classical music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGva1

The correct answer is go to a health professional and have them evaluate your mental and physical health objectively.

This is really cool and something I've wondered about doing too. Has anyone gotten an entire GCC toolchain to 'compile' to JS using a tool like emscripten? It would be pretty neat to be able to compile AVR firmware and send

Something a little easier and perhaps a bit less hacky IMHO is the web audio MIDI standard. You can make certain AVRs (the 32u4 in the Arduino Leonardo) look like USB devices, including a USB midi device. Then just have a web page that us
