Pertinent point: "Now, Intel’s next NUCs are taking aim at the 14-nm Broadwell generation. No, not the Core M, the chip that Intel just announced for tablets and some notebooks. Intel designed the Broadwell-U derivative for NUCs, a 15-watt dual-core chip for ultrabooks and NUCs that should arrive with a slower graphics core than Intel’s more mainstream chips."
IMNSHO this is more about the OpenBSD folks doing what they do best.
I sincerely respect their approach to programming, especially with regards to security: rather than just introduce security layers and mechanisms they program defensively and try to avoid or catch fundamental, exploitable mistakes.
It prevents people from buying a phone that has everything that they like about the iPhone, but is also an improvement on the iPhone. This is exacerbated by Apple's own policies that hinder their customer's ability to make their own improvements to their own property.
I wonder whether a larger issue may be that people want the GUI to be consistent, even between different models and makes of phone.
It seems counter-productive to have phones with different GUIs for the sake of avoiding patent infringement. The result is the consumer wastes time re-learning how to use the device.
Or a version of Obliterator that runs at a playable frame rate!:)
I have extremely fond memories of 1980s Psygnosis. "Shadow of the Beast" was my first introduction to "parallax scrolling", which seemed to become a mandatory feature of all side-scrollers from that point on.
Heh, and here I was about to violently disagree with your post. I'm glad it was a joke, and can't believe I missed it. Emulator, tape, sign-off... lol.
I too am scared by the fact it was modded Insightful. Hum.
Although unintentional, it made your.signature appropriate:)

Light on details but I thought you might be slightly interested:

Hats off to the OpenBSD folks.
You don't need to simply imagine it:

Yeah, there were dolphins, and a fisherman on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.

A 3 or 4 step HOWTO/FAQ item in the Steam forums would likely be enough to get most people up and running.
In fairness, it's often difficult to distinguish between a human-written comment on Youtube and a poorly-written AI.
There's a wealth of information on the net regarding DIY wind turbines.
Check this out:

A few years ago it was quite common for people to use the motor out of Fisher and Paykel washing machines:

If PETA had their way, we would not eat meat, nor use leather. No farmer would keep cows around just for the hell of it. Lots of dead cows.....
Hang on, that might be the solution for the greenhouse effect! ;)
This isn't an automated sync, but is how to get the contacts on your device/sim into Gmail/Google:
http://androidactivist.org/protips/android-tip-moving-contacts-from-simsd-card-to-google-account/
You need to *move* the contacts. It's not super-intuitive, especially as it's more of a "copy" operation rather than a "move" operation.
Sorry if you already knew this and it doesn't work for you.

Maybe not the whole face, but hopefully it will change the mouth :)
How does it limit customer choice?

> Lastly, remember the awesome package art on those games? They used the same artist who did those iconic album covers for Yes.
Indeed. The artist is Roger Dean. I love his work.

Absolutely *loved* their logo too.
> I have the new Retina MBP... and it's a fantastic machine. But WHY would you buy it just to install Linux on it anyway?
Ultra-res xterminals.
Wouldn't it be smarter to discuss this "one dumpster" issue with people at your office and potentially have that changed?
I thought Fox was the ultimate source of artificial intelligence...

So would a powerful electromagnet yeah?
No fair! They changed the outcome by measuring it!

I can't vouch for the validity of this, but this is a fun read if your appetite was piqued by PopeRazto's post:
http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/religion/aleister-crowley/
You should find the Charlie Manson easter egg there, and a lot of the other twisted stuff mentioned in PopeRazto's post.
I'd recommend taking it all with a grain of salt, and reading this stuff at home, not at work :)
