This might work for small networks, but what about Virtualization environments, Hyper-V, Multiple AD servers, Proxies, etc. I'm sure it's going to have limitations.
I have a MS sidewinder forcefeedback joystick. Best joystick I've ever used, but it requires a gameport. I wish someone would make a USB-Gameport adapter that would work, but sadly I have to use a Soundblaster Live card on my new PC. I also prefer using a quality ball mouse for FPS games.
That concept has been tried before with HPs WebOS Touchpad, and look how that turned out. Windows 8 has 2 major problems. It tried to marry the standard Desktop with it's Metro Interface (bad idea), and the Apps available is pathetic compared to Android and iOS.
Exactly. Stuffing the Mac in a box doesn't mean it's Made in America. I see the BS all the time, and when you look inside the package, China is written all over it.
which becomes useless if you don't upgrade. Android OS versions each have their unique abilities and are all worthy in-themselves. I can still use an Android 2.2 device to its full extent, same can't be said about Apple products.
I've seen some mods with the MK808 with a usb hub, ethernet port, hdmi male2female adapter all rolled into a case no bigger than the ones used for the Pi. It may cost a bit more, but you get 4x the performance. It all depends on what your looking for, but I guess the Pi might be fine for projects like - xmas lights.
I'm sure the Pi will have its place in some projects. I just don't see why there is so much hype about it. The specs aren't that impressive, but seeing something like the MK808 that's 1/4 the size of the Pi with 4x the power, that's something to rave about IMO.
Review comparing the MK802 vs. Raspberry Pi - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKNPnBE-ouI , and the MK802 has now been replaces with a much faster MK808. Conclusion - the MK802 is the clear winner when it comes to value, unless you have a specific project that requires the Raspberry Pi.
You can run Ubuntu, and perhaps other distributions. Besides, do you really need GPIO when USB will do? It just seems like a lot of hyper for nothing, when there are tons of similar boards already available from places like Alibaba. What can you do with the Raspberry Pi that can't be done with similar products?
I don't see how the Raspberry Pi can compete with similar products like the MK808 or UG802. For $50 you can buy a cheap android on a stick PC loaded with built in features, and fully capable of customized the ROM. They have twice the computing power of the Pi, so why are people still interested in the Raspberry?
Faster and more power is great, but I think I'd rather have a gaming system that is quiet instead sounding like my hoover vacuum, and not putting out more heat than my rotisserie. I hate using my XBOX for any extended period of time, afraid it's going to peal the paint off my furniture.
Evolution is happening as we speak. Microscopic life is evolving rapidly before our eyes. It's the longer living species like Humans, Elephants, Turtles that take a long time to evolve, that makes it difficult to wrap your head around it.
Well, when I was in High School, I learned about Greek Mythology. It was optional, and no-one ever took it serous. Biology class on the other hand was mandatory and considered factual learning. So whats the problem?

All we really need now is a Free SQL equivalent. Doubt that will ever happen.

Only contribution I have made on Kickstarter is for Leisure Suit Larry Cums Again.
They might as well paint a big bulls-eye on the side, because that tank will be the first thing that blows up once it gets rolled out.
I thought Amiga Monitors use RGB inputs, how do you connect it to a c64? Also, a 160Mhz 486? Fastest 486 I know of was 100 Mhz.

So are similar devices, like the UG802 and MK802,MK808, etc. All Open Devices, and can do WHATEVER the FUCK you WANT with it.

You can get a small USB GPIO adapter, smaller than a flash drive.

Model B of the Raspberry Pi uses a USB Ethernet adapter, same could be done with UG802 or MK808.
Some will argue that. I can use Android OS just like any other desktop OS.

20 Years ago they had a problem with evolution. Only now that its become common sense they are forced to accept it.
Agree, then kids could see just how ridicules religious myths are.
