Agreed. I am not good enough to judge the whole article on physicsworld but the author seems to be bullshitting on at least some of the things he wrote. For example: > Evolution bu…

9000 USD is OK. When you get OVER 9000, it's ridiculous.

No. I think what he meant was that let's say people are willing to trade X ISK or whaever it's called for 1 USD, and the spaceship is 9000X ISK therefore it might cost 9000 USD. Th…

That theory sounds bad, man. I'm an bi-lingual Asian from a relatively older age compared to you (10+) and have been living in the US for quite some time. The 'imagine' part only h…

Sure... But then 20 minutes for a 100 miles even with not much things to do is good to me! The problem is less likely the distance but availability of charging stations.

Did anyone notice that the first link on ... "Since 2005, Flickr has become synonymous with inspiring imagery." ... was actually linking to flick.com, but not flickr.com? Edit: In …

Last time I tried installing Linux (/Ubuntu) on a Macbook it was a balls cooking experience with the combination of NVidia and Intel. Pure intel HD might be better, but why do I wa…

I need my balls not to be cooked by the power-hungry processors. I need a light shit because I walk with my backpack a lot. I need the key layout on the keyboard not a pain in the …

Of course if you never plug anything in, it will stay up for a long time. The problem arises when there are things being plugged in and out. Many USB devices don't work with the Pi…

No I don't have a power meter. I know the Black works on a USB 2.0 port of my laptop and my desktop too, so it uses less than 500mA. From my experience working with Ti's stuff, the…

Got the Black delivered on my door today, will try to post a quickie review tomorrow :-)

Sure enough... It might be possible to host the site on the Pi itself. However, I think that's probably risky. My main concern is that the Pi is powered by an Ethernet controller t…

Thanks for your comment. Will fix the title.

>I believe Wayland window managers [1] will replace most of X11 for most users in a couple of years, but X11 will still be around to run legacy apps (similar to the way you can run…

Not the first time that fingerprint readers are deemed the wrong answer (to the "wrong" problem? -- one better not trust their own fingerprints to keep their data secure) From Thin…

Number of units they will sell.

Yes. I'm the kind of guy who couldn't care less about retina screens (they don't look that much sharper to me)... but definitely can tell the difference that IPS screens make. In c…

Because it is upgradable. You just have to have the expertise to do it. Soldering a SMD component, while not exactly something that everyone can do, is indeed doable. Disclaimer: I…

There are several things that puts the Chromebox ahead: 1, It is as small, slick and quiet as a Mac Mini. 2, It is designed to run Linux. 3, The hardware is backed by Smasung/Googl…

It'll be a very capable PC or thin client if that's at all possible. I wonder how feasible it is to put a Linux distribution here and get it working. I know it is possible with the…
