Ever since I've found that I can change the color of the top bar in my profile, the site has been every color but orange to me. :D
Yeah I changed it to green but the orange Y in the top left-hand corner drives me nuts.
Give me a 80x24 font terminal and framebuffer support for SD2/video/images/PDF, and I'm sold. This has no internet support, but who cares as I can just rsync the NNTP dir from/to slrn in my laptop and read good stuff offline, and just answer over the laptop, too. Or, well, an Atheros dongle would work fine. For coding, JimTCL with or without SDL2 is fun, and, for gaming, text adventures and roguelikes would rock here…
At the end of the article he talked about upgrading to a 640x480 display which would make the 80x24 terminal a real possibility. The surprisingly expensive 800x480 display would be even better, you would have the possibility of running a square 9x9 font, or more likely increasing the console resolution to 100x24.
2/ As per the very start of the article — and this is off topic I’m afraid but… — let’s say I did want to root a prepaid Android phone. What is the best phone I should go for?

> I wonder what would be achievable, around the $15 mark WITHOUT needing a minimum order of 1000? A Raspberry Pi Zero?
I was thinking about the fact that 40 years ago there was the Sinclair ZX80, a $100 computer that you could hook to your TV and there's not really a whole lot in that space/price point¹ now other than the hobbyist Raspberry Pi/arduino/other hobbyist machines. I'd have to think that it's possible to make a consumer-grade PC that you hook up to your own monitor for around $100, although I guess the cost of a Windows li…

yeah I asked jwz how to do that, but I can't figure out a way to make that work with Github pages.
JWZ appears to use Apache, so he probably does something like http://www.htaccess-guide.com/deny-visitors-by-referrer/
We had something like this in 2001. It was called the Agenda vr3 and it ran a full X session with the FLTK in 16meg of RAM. However, the history of PDA's that run linux is mostly lost since LinuxDevices.com doesn't really exist anymore. I owned several of these including Agenda VR3, Vtech Helio, Zaurus, etc. It was quite a nice system even without wireless unless you count IrDA. It used FTP over RS-232 for installing…
Something that I have always wanted was an SMS ONLY device. A device, kind of like the SideKick (remember Danger invented Android, got bought by Google - then the founder was paid ~$90,000,000 severance from Google for coercing a female colleague to be his 'sex slave' -- Yeah, that Danger, Andy Rubin.) but I just want a device that only sends and receives SMS and thats it. Can this machine accept a SIM in a future it…
