Oh it's fine for children to use real money to buy virtual goods, but we must not allow them to gamble with those goods or sell them for real money! Thank you GabeN for thinking of the children!
At this point it looks like either you don't, or you mangle your Python to be purely functional programming. I'm hoping they will enhance the parser to support some simple convention like curly braces. Not Pythonic, but the whole concept is by definition not purely Pythonic
Which is why in the US the major political parties are clueful enough to (try to) make sure it's at least a popular vote for people acceptable to the parties, not letting SpongeBob SquarePants be nominated to represent the party because he got the most popular votes.
I don't know of a $45 Amazon tablet that can be a standalone off the shelf x86 Ubuntu system with performance comparable to a netbook which can host VMs running Ubuntu Snappy Core for IoT applications. Since the JaguarBoard also has I2C, COM and GPIO ports, it can in some cases be a replacement for an RPi, depending on the number of units to be deployed in production, and the profit margin and TCO of the target solution.
I agree with GP, and I would also keep user names/ids and reputation scores hidden so people are less inclined to farm their scores or band together to level up. I may be able to indirectly see the effects of my reputation, but I can't be sure, and it won't be easy for me to demonstrate it to other people.
BTW I think Google Search is in effect a pretty good reputation engine, it's just not apparent.
Also, for me, the Slashdot system of moderation and metamoderation works well with the set of custom filtering rules it provides me. The 20ish% of posts I see are usually what I would want to.
I don't know of any Linux distribution that comes close to running well on the X205, or at all without doing a lot of unusual installation and configuration steps.
I hope one will soon.
A $60 appliance will get you Hulu+, Amazon, & Netflix. So you don't really have to fixate over whether or not desktop Linux supports Netflix.
It's not 2005 anymore.
I want to use my single 50in monitor as a Linux desktop while I am utilizing an online video streaming service to watch video in a window (which I can make fullscreen if I like). I do not want to buy and use an HDMI capture box.
Meanwhile, the typical Linux distro now has dconf, network manager, polkit, systemd, and worst of all dbus. Some more capability has come about, but it has become pretty inscrutable to the admins with a bourne shell scripting level of understanding. More advanced programmers appreciate some of the additional structure, but shell commands to script some capabilities are no longer easy (complex dbus-send commands, non-obvious configuration location and no longer human readable content) or impossible.
And the alternative to the inscrutable command-line interface and configuration files is an inscrutable GUI, which may or may not work properly, and is dependent on a massive desktop environment, and may be completely redesigned at any point.
If the throttled speed is 256kbps, that isnt much worse than I usually get on Sprint EVDOrA. And hopefully the (poor) latency doesnt get worse with throttling.
A robot can be more engaging than a video, and in some cases even a human lecturer; and a robot need not necessarily be able to understand language to provide some valuable interactivity.
The opening handshake is intended to be compatible with HTTP-based
server-side software, so that a single port can be used by both HTTP
clients talking to that server and WebSocket clients talking to that
server. To this end, the WebSocket client's handshake appears to
HTTP servers to be a regular GET request with an Upgrade offer
He was afraid that web browser would make the operating system irrelevant, and that's exactly what happened. Think about it. When was the last time someone said, "Hey check this out! Go download this application..."
Sadly I hear that all too often from iPhone/iPad users. I hope Android will steer away from native apps over the next few years.
photons are oscillating electromagnetic fields,
and they have no mass and travel at the speed of
light. Why do they get a free pass?
Having a spatial trajectory which looks like a
propagating sine wave does not necessarily mean any
oscillation or movement in the direction of time.
why is it that particles travelling at less than
light speed must have mass? This always seems to be
presented as a given; is there a line of reasoning
behind it that I'm unaware of?
Maybe everything is moving at the same "light" speed
through a 4D (Minkowski) space, and "mass" is the
property which gives something the ability to move
more (than zero) in the direction of forward in time.
I've heard quite a few people here on Slashdot talk about how useful Python is as a substitute for MATLAB. Honestly, I don't get it.
I think there are many programs built on MATLAB which could be
as easily and effectively built on Python and associated libraries.
I do not see scipy/numpy/ipython/matplotlib as a dropin replacement
for the MATLAB interactive environment, because they are different (even if equally capable).
Python is trying to be a language for both hard core programming, and scientific programing.
I do not feel like it is trying to be either. I think it is trying to be as suitable as it can for both of those things without compromising elegance.
I don't want to load 20 modules before I can begin coding. I just want to input my algorithm and get a result I expect (not 5/2=2).
Since I can trivially make a file "mystartup.py" with import statements like "from __future__ import division" and run the interpreter as "python -i mystartup.py", this seems like a non-problem to me.

Hopefully this course includes a section on security. Doesn't look like it will
???
That page says:
Section D: Security in IOT

I can confirm he was in fact not the bastard son of a hundred maniacs, so no worries.
There wasn't even twenty of us.

Other than the 3D, sound and smell gimmicks, does going to Central Park do anything that a photo doesn't?
Maybe this would be good for use with MJPEG for video editing.

FSV is a 3d filesystem viewer like the one in Jurassic Park
I figure the Nexus 4 is a low-end 2014 smartphone, the target for Ubuntu.
Until around 1861...

haha, I guess you don't remember AOL, Compuserve or Prodigy.
Or Facebook.

But nothing speaks to this more than the spaghetti-bowl PowerPoint slide of the US Military's strategy in the ongoing war in Afghanistan.
Projecting a diagram onto a screen does not make the diagram a PowerPoint slide. The complexity of that diagram has nothing to do with PowerPoint.
