I'm probably missing something crucial here, but I was just wondering why you actually need the Raspberry Pi? I'm don't own any Android devices so I'm not an expert, but wasn't the idea that you could easily install and run a Linux userland

You're right, though projecting to US politics, I think you can safely say PvdA is socialist (they call themselves social democrats by the way). SP would be outright communist by US measures ;-)

There's a whole world between making compromises, and doing almost exactly the opposite of what you were promising during election time. Anyway, my point wasn't that there's something wrong with our political system, or that compromises are

Even then, a 1.7 Ghz dual-core Cortex-A15 is not even close to be 'only a little slower' than a five year old 2.5 Ghz Core 2 quad. With a bit of luck it's going to be a little faster than a 1.6 Ghz dual-core Atom. The whole 'review' reads l
