Those ODroid all offer big bang for the bucks, but the Pi is one of the rare single board computers which still offers composite video output, so you can hook it up to your old fat CRT TV, which is great for old-school emulation (eg with the awesome RetroPie distro).
I agree that the death of Internet Trolls is inevitable because Facebook and Google are killing all the communities Trolls strive in, but comparing Internet Trolls with sexual harrasser or stalker is complete nonsense.

I watched that scammy show and the fact that it was immediately followed by an overly positive preview of Honda's fuel-cell car made me real suspicious.
I'm not watching this show anymore, although I used to enjoy it a lot.
Windows 2000 Workstation (I specify Workstation because IIS 5 did a lot of damage to its Server counterpart) was the best OS MS ever came up with: I wish I could run IE 9 and 10 on it (just to browse MS specific stuff such as SharePoint and OWA, not as primary browser).
Ensuring Windows 2000 compatibility would probably also help the Linux+wine users getting IE on their platform.
Looking forward to running this on my PS3

Xfce 4.8 Released
·
· Score: 2
With the current absence of GPU hardware acceleration and low memory available, Xfce has been the desktop environment of choice for my 3.15 PS3's OtherOS. I'm really excited to try this new version which seems vey promising.
Well, USB does not seem to fit the bill...
I'm just saying that I'd be happy if - among the gazillion iPod-compatible ones - there could be a choice of docking stations available to hook up my phone or PMP.
..but to really compete with the Jesus Phone and his family, there need to be a standard port not only for charging but also for remote controlling and A/V output in order to create a market for non-Apple cell phone and media player docking stations.
Do you think usurping the title "Doc" and slapping as many fancy terms in one sentence as humanly possible will make your post less moronic? Well I don't think so, especially if you clearly have no clue what you're talking about.
An RSX driver would run in kernel space so replacing the entire GNU/Linux userland which runs in user space is just plain irrelevant.
The strong belief referred above is based on experience as my PS3 has seen a wide range of Linux distros in its OtherOS partition, such as Ubuntu, xUbuntu (IMHO best choice, with its very lightweight UI) Fedora, Gentoo and YDL. I can also state that I've installed and used linux distributions on older PCs with less than 512MB RAM and obviously a far inferior CPU than the Cell.
Ok, this post clearly looks like a flamebait, so I guess I'm falling into it...
Please get you facts straight:
1. Linux is not an OS but a kernel
2. Android uses a Linux kernel (2.6.35.7 in the case of Gingerbread)
=> debating whether the driver should be written for Linux or Android seems pretty moronic...
I strongly believe that the Linux distros that were already installable on OtherOS before the "update 3.21 fiasco" would perform very comfortably if they could benefit from GPU hardware acceleration.A more serious issue would be the absence of a Linux PowerPC version of Adobe Flash as gnash is still behind in terms of performance and compatibility.
I get really irritated with all this PSPGo bashing.
Although unpopular, getting rid of the UMD, was an ambitious statement, setting the mark for next generations and hardware-wise, making a PSP that's actually pocketable (at least for a guy) is real progress.
This is a with no noubt a market failure, mainly due to the rather high price and also probably the fact that you still can't play pirated games on it, but it would really be stupid to discard all the improvements that this device brought and come up with somethig radically different.
Android is definitely a cool thing, but IMHO, adding plain simple telephony to the PSPGo would have been a wiser choice (after all, it already does Skype pretty well) and result in a less resource/battery-hungry phone
As I've been the beneficiary of an H-1B with Microsoft, I know very well that MS also does a good job at sending H1-B permit holders back home after 1-2 years, before they get a green card. They actually paid for my 1-way ticket back to Europe.
I'd be interested to see what is the proportion of H-1B visa holders who end up staying permanently in the US and which company hired them.
I keep an old laptop with a serial port, so that I can transfer stuff to my good old Atari 800XL with the awesome SIO2PC cable from Nick Kennedy: http://pages.suddenlink.net/wa5bdu/sio2pc.htm
The old Sony (from 15 years ago) would've done the following: - Open up the console themselves so that people wouldn't need to jailbreak it - Pitch it as an open, portable multimedia + gaming device. Sell it for more money because people were buying it for the extra features.
Although I've been around since betamax, I've never heard of the "old Sony" or any other major competitor that would be suicidal enough to open up their console as you suggest. The friendly koreans from GamePark attempted it, but they won't be around for much longer.
Both the Wii and DS are far more piracy ridden, and simpler to mod to allow copied games.
Considering that you can hack any PSP for free (except the PSPGo for now), with no additional hardware, in a matter of minutes, I strongly disagree with this statement.
Many people (including you apparently) don't get the fact that the PSPGo is not meant to be a replacement for the PSP-3000. The UMD-friendly PSP will still be available after the PSPGo's launch, so the comparison with the PS3 is not really relevant
Carmack should reconsider releasing games on PC altogether, whether it is on Windows or Linux.
Today's console capabilities -especially when it comes to HD display- make PC gaming irrelevant. Ever since I bought a PS3, My PC became Windows-free as gaming seems to be the only reason to keep paying for a Windows license nowadays.
There are several products like Shavlik Netchk, which allow you to patch commonly-used applications like Adobe, Firefox, Java, etc... at the same time as MS OS and applications.
I've subscribed to a UK proxy so I can watch the BBC here in the states, and while boxee lets me enter a web proxy, it doesn't have any provisions for entering a username and password. At least it didn't a couple weeks ago. I really would love that capability...

gNewSense is missing in the Stallman Sea. It's unfortunate, considering that gNewSense is the only distro RMS recommends.

I run Boxee on a Mac Mini, despite being a Linux fan. It just works.
I've run Ubuntu Hardy with Boxee on a low-end Mac Mini for months: it works fine too.
