Are import taxes of 100% ((1200 - 600) / 600) realistic?

To learn how FPGAs work, I'd recommend starting with a cheap Digilent board; see http://www.digilentinc.com/choosing.cfm - You can get a simple BASYS 2 board for under $100, possib…

Yes. A $10 Spartan 3 could run a simple core and interpret LISP code. It's been done before, check Open Cores.

I totally agree that developers should not assume that per-pixel content is visible at these pixel pitches. However, I strongly disagree that the target market should be these indi…

There are a lot more places than just the US that use "at" to refer to a location. Why not just release to anyone who wants to use the English-only app?

Or why not ask their EU customers to pay the extra 4.9% it would cost to sell it as a camcorder? That would not only get them off the hook but also encourage their customers to abo…

The vertical control of Apple (most notably) as well as Amazon and Google is almost complete. The author noted that they don't have: 1. Billing/banking control - Purchases on all t…

It's read on login and on every app startup . That, IMO, makes it not meaningless.

Thank you for doing this. I, for one, am willing to use dconf-editor or gsettings during the once-in-a-blue-moon occasions where I need to modify the binary blob if it results in f…

Is your car body magnetic? If you had aluminum body panels, it probably could, though the panel is probably a good deal stiffer than this tuba. If you had steel body panels (which …

There are over 300 different models of the MSP430, ranging from the G2 or Value Line parts having 1k of Flash, a couple hundred bytes of RAM and usually one timer to the F5 series …

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Apple's TOS have some significant restrictions on running interpreters. Some have been allowed, though. For more information, see Section 3.3.2…

What service are you running where the "overwhelming number of [y]our users" tell you that phone is their preferred method of contact? As I wrote on the blog, email allows me to: -…

Your app is nice, but it's nothing like Siri. My dumb phone is an '07 Motorola Razr on Verizon's OS (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_RAZR#Verizon_Wireless_... ). It has a…

The title confused me as well. Can you revise it to something like the "Backend Service Provider StackMob Comes To Android" title which the linked article used?

The source article at http://gutjahr.biz/blog/2011/09/face-off/ (in German) says (via Google translate): For example, information on the recently discussed ... "likes" that Faceboo…

SVN handles large binaries with ease. I'm an EE, and these are frequent occurrences in my projects. Git can choke on big binaries.

You need to go back to the top of the page (not the "related posts" at the bottom ... >_>) and find part 3: http://bioteam.net/2011/08/real-world-backblaze-costs/ Projected cost fr…
