It's not embedded, it's an android tablet without the touch screen. Just because there's GPIO doesn't make it any more embedded. It's a general purpose computer until you actually embed it in something.
The *one* thing that has always been tricky with Linux, is repartitioning a Windows machine and setting up dual boot.
It's a lot easier to do this with Linux based tools than it is with Windows based tools.
With Linux: Step 1, boot a gparted live CD and shrink your NTFS partition and create an ext3 partition. Step 2, Install Linux.
With Windows: Step 1, try to find a Windows equivalent to Gparted. Difficulty, Partition Magic is discontinued. Step 2, Install Windows. Step 3, boot a live Linux CD and reinstall grub because Windows overwrote your boot manager.
Everyone should know enough about coding to ask smart questions of the actual coder. If you say something like "if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?", you don't know enough code. If you've never touched a line of code, you're not going to be able to adequately describe your needs to your coder. You may be asking for the impossible and not even know it.
We're not all going to die, but it could be that choosing X rays over microwaves will result in a few dozen extra cancer deaths per year, in which case it's a bad move.
Not that the TSA cares. The harsh screenings encourage people to drive instead of fly, which leads to hundreds of extra deaths per year. The TSA is not about safety at all.
I'm surprised the TSA doubled down on the potentially risky bet that X ray backscatter technology is going to remain legal.
That just means that if X-ray machines are banned, the TSA will get to buy new machines again. This serves their actual pupose, directing public money into the hands of well connected business people.
Gary Johonson privatized prisons in New Mexico. He thinks that it's appropriate for there to be a profit motive in keeping our citizens behind bars. That's a complete non-starter for anyone who truly values liberty.
Mod me down if you want, but that doesn't change the fact that Swartz would have been better off if the Mafia had broken both his kneecaps, or left him dead in a ditch, rather than facing decades in federal PMITA prison where he will emerge an old, broken man, if at all. Is this really what you call justice?
Federal prosecutors are some sick bastards. The worst of the worst. This is clearly intended to dissuade Swartz from exercising his constiutional right to a trial. Throw every charge at him in order to scare him into accepting a plea bargain. This is why 97% of federal cases end in plea bargains. Not because prosecutors are right 97% of the time, but because they are the biggest bullies in the country.
We'd all be safer if those who have charged Swartz were behind bars themselves.

Are you referring to the Pi or the OS from Adafruit?
Isn't the point of the Pi that you can just dump an image onto an SD card and have a fully working environment? Just how bad are the Pi distros?

It's electro-gonorrhea, the noisy killer.
Same here. Which I'm guessing means I won't be watching it, since I don't live in NYC or LA.
Is that a comprehensive list?
Is there a list of theatres that will be showing this in 48FPS?
Yes, all those corpses will make excellent fertilizer for your organic farms.
As much as I love old Sierra games, what does this have to do with Borderlands 2?
Say "Hi" to heart disease for me.
Only a sap would grapple with apple's map app. It's a trap.

Why not? What is it about airport security that doesn't scale linearly?

No, I certainly did not want KOTOR with co-op. I want to be the protagonist of the story. That can't happen in multiplayer RPGs.
They're just training for a career in finance.
Many games of theirs were downright average to say the least and mediocre at worst
Name some better ones.
Their games always tended to have bad battle systems to cater to the old PC RPG crowd that has no dexterity
In other words, those of us with decades of gaming experience who know that there's more to a good game than action.
None of what is wrong with SWTOR is really an EA issue. It's a game design issue at a basic level
What's basically wrong with SWTOR is that everyone really just wanted KOTOR3.
Is there some reason "enterprise" hardware comes with firmware that can't be upgraded?
At least a bullet to the head would be over soon.
Oxycodone is both, with predominantly mu opioid action.
