Its not Godwin to point out that if you cant afford a child in the current environment, you shouldn't have one. It is basic pragmatism and the sign of an Intelligent Being.
Some intersections dont have the proper sight lines to support turning right against a red, or traffic situations might not allow (like near a major freeway interchange). Of the ones i see in CA, it is obvious why it was setup that way.
I dont think you understand, self-driving cars ARE coming, and at some point it will be illegal/too expensive to operate your own car, and im ok with this. We lose FAR too many lives in traffic accidents to NOT do it.
We have decided that touchscreens have their place on the desktop, just not as the primary input. It is a useful addition to almost any comp, as long as you recognize its limits.
Power management, attaching an iscsi drive to virtualbox are just the ones from this week that i ran into. Then there is apt-get, plus having to edit apt sources text files in CLI because the UI doesnt have permissions to alter stuff and doesnt even pop a dialog asking.
Running a Nexus 7 on 4.2, i wholly disagree. Android still isnt as slick and smooth as an ipad 2 or above or even iphone 4S. Now this is like comparing luxury packages on a Mercedes versus BMW, but overall, iOS is still smoother and more responsive.
Dont you get it, we hate MS here, and the vast majority of us are gleefully happy that they are crumbling. Microsoft, without a doubt, held back computing by a DECADE. We are watching the tower of Barad'dur fall, all we want to see now is the eye wink out.
ITS NOT JUST A PHONE. It is a pocket computer with more storage and horsepower THEN MY COLLEGE IRC NODE/WAREZ SITE, a plethora of sensors and its backdoored all to hell. It is a phenomenally powerful device, and you would reduce it to voice comms and fart apps. No one is saying we dont want secure devices, only that we should be able to take off the restrictions if we choose as intelligent human beings.
Modern Distros still have some major rough edges. I cant even get ubuntu to stop turning off the monitor, and there is nowhere in the UI that even offers it. I tried 7 different vectors at the command line before i gave up. It shouldnt be that hard.
They already have a symbol system denoting if a game has partial or full gamepad support. L4D2 has full game support for its entire interface, TF2 has partial.
I LOL'd. Yes, the real thing holding back the UKs perceived dominance in the industry is lack of 'ARM inside' stickers. You probably think RIM got a bad rap too amiright?
Because not everything needs to be connected to the internet all the times and networking adds cost and complexity and security concerns. The base definition of a computer does not include networking.
Where is your non-profit company trying to kids interested in computers? Thats what the Pi foundation IS. All this selling to us geeks is just to build a community. The main purpose of the Pi is to educate.
I have 4 of them, all bought one after the other, in separate shipments. If you want one, order it, it will come. My first 3 boards all arrived within a week, the last one took a month.
There are apps that do this behavior jsut fine. WD, OCZ all have apps to interface with their wifi hard drives over ad-hoc. I use a Synology app to pull files directly into my device from my NAS. If WD, etc can do this, WHY ISNT IT NATIVE TO THE MACHINE. Why should i need an app from a third party, signed by another party, to do something the machine is fully capable of on its own. The fact that I have to explain this to you is REALLY sad.
Why host wifi? What is wrong with ad-hoc? This is what ad-hoc networking is FOR. You make it sound like we havent been able to do this for a decade. If PSP could do ad-hoc full game sharing in 2004, i think an ipad level consumer device can handle ad-hoc document and file sharing in 2012. You have been trained to think, 'o just dump it to the internet', when that is a compeltely unecessary step.

Good thing we live in a Constitutional Republic then......

Ever hear of MXM?

I have yet to find an x86 sleep mode i trust more then cold boots.

I would actually be quite impressed if you could pull that off. Somehow, i think it is unlikely.
And it does fuck all, screen still blanks. There is more then one mechanism at play, and the UI does not combine them into one interface.

The government is ALREADY involved in literally everything. Better ot realize that and shape it to our own ends, rather then pretend it doesnt exist.
NO proven link between the two. Until you can show solid proof, you have no standing. You might as well say autism is caused by foul aethers.
We might just see XBMC integration.

Is there a way to test what power supplies are good for the Pi with a multimeter? Have any links to known good chargers?
