The TRS-80 and similar system have something no other system has:
* A simple DOS like system (Linux is just a steep learning curve) * A solid Basic / JavaScript system at boot up * Simple IO communications * Easy hardware maintenance * Self-contained system
Raspberry Pi is a step in the right direction but if something goes wrong I can't soldier in a new RAM chip or pull the processor. People really like a simple all-in-one unit. The wide range of choices and lack of uniformity makes it hard design a solid education program.
For the price I could get a Mini-ITX form factor machine that isn't that much bigger, with better performance, and more features. If you need something small like that you maybe looking at an ARM based SBC.
Net Neutrality say if X service (lets say Netflix) is killing your entire network's performance you have to live with it. You can't partition Netflix into it's own walled garden. For big companies that have millions in the bank they can buy new pipes left and right. But the mom and pop shops have to take months to buy more bandwidth. During that time they're losing customers to the big guys and possible going out of business.
They Law of Unintended Consequences from Net Neutrality is that you just turned the Big 3 ISP's into the internet equivalent of Walmart.
In the 80's they were: - Riding the last of the CB revolution - Riding the last of the Space Patrol brand - Pushing out tons of TRS computers (CoCo 3 anyone?) - Select over-priced products based on their reputations (VCR's, TV's, and weird NES co-processor add-on that did '10 bit games) - Started selling Motorola phones
Executive orders have financial restrictions. He could easily fund a study and employee a political contributor to do the work and get the results he wants, This would make great cannon fodder for the 2016 election.
I've seen some proprietary implementation of encoding multiple domains into a single url. Otehr have had a static home page with a list of alternate domains. That way you not restricted to a external CDN traffic control.
Two Words: Biosphere 2
Not the horrible movie Bio-Dome.I mean the Texas experiment in 1991. It was meant to be a fully self sustaining isolated environment. Everything started dying off quickly that led to the premature closure of the experiment. Until I can see something successfully ran like this I will not even consider the re-engineering experiment that are proposed.
ChromeCast isn't exactly setting the world on fire. I have one. But the apps for it are same as what I can get on XBox and tablet. I really only use it when I want watch stupid cat videos on our TV because her tablet is better then XBox's YouTube interface.
The only saving grace for this unit is the open nature that ChromeCast really doesn't have yet.
Most of the terrorist group fall into one of these categories:
Mega Groups - They already knew most of this information. They've built an underground network for communication that goes outside of what the most people are monitoring. They're also working with/buying off various governments for their intel.
Regular Groups - More then 50 people but not as complex. They know they're being watched and want to be martyrs for the cause. These are the cannon fodder of the mega groups. They do what the big boys tell them in hopes becoming something bigger or better
Small Groups - 50 or less people. These are the ones that can talk face to face and don't need the networks. These are the most dangerous because you never know what will set them off and usually think the other groups aren't radical enough.
I realize that but its seems a waste. My point was that you should already know your data types. I like the readability of strongly typed code. You also make you compiler and debugger work extra. On small stuff no big deal. But on large projects those extra compiling seconds can become minutes easily. Also I've had a few cases where when I've done compares on C# compiled code the strongly typed program usually came out smaller.
I understand in some learning languages (Apple ][e flavor of Basic comes to mind) it can useful for beginners. But why have it languages like C#, VB,NET and even JavaScript? It would make everyone's life easier and most code run faster if you pushed your objects to strongly type variables.
To manufacture electric cars you have to use materials that are more costly, harder to mine and toxic (lithium and mercury). So they create more pollution to. Also electric cars have to get there electricity from somewhere that's generating pollution as well. The sum gain of electric cars is about the same as regular cars. The pollution just comes in another form.
I think there's enough creditable evidence out there to suggest that young children under the age of 3 shouldn't have any immunization because thier systems aren't developed enough to deal with the shots. But by 3 they should be required to be immunized before attending and public school. Also I this there should be mandated boosters in public middle and highschool. You don't want to follow the rules then you don't get the free education.
I think the root cause should be looked at why they have bad marketing. IMHO: the senior management staff is getting old an inflexible. Iwata can't even come to E3 because of health concerns. Nintendo as a whole is no longer flexible enough to meet market demands and users want. When have they release a good game where they truly innovate? It seems like all they want to do is farm out their game to child studio's and have them make just enough changes to sell s few copies. The Mario Kart is the perfect case. Its Nintendo's character riding around a track. From most early reviews its getting a mediocre review because there is nothing really ground breaking.
If Nintendo really want to get serious then they need they really need to push the indy developer program again. They need to hire back the 10% of North America marketers they fired. Finally they need to come up with new marketing plan. Sega of America was in teh EXACT same place with the Genesis. What they did was work with SoJ and created a little game called Sonic the Hedge. Then they built a whole new marketing plan to get out of the old tired ways to the Genesis. Ha, to think Sega's history maybe what it takes to save Nintento>
The issue isn't Walmart its the mom and pop's. Because they don't have the revenue to invest in mechanization and automated distribution they have much more labor. A 5% increase in the minimum wage could easily be 20% increase in costs. The net affect is reduced benefits and the possibility the business closing shop. Then Kmart, Walmart Meijers, Costcos moves in.
My solution is that we reduce regulation so people can start new businesses easier and we cut the fat and useless programs in Washington and at home so we don't have to be taxed so much.
The government has created a martyr. If they prosecute him again it will rally his troops. If they ignore him it will rally his troops. If they pay him off he will go away for a while.

He's just going build a Chibi-Robo.

Now they'll be able to legally jam cell phones. They'll just offer in theater WiFi with movie special features like alternative content.

But even if we give them the deal I ran will renege on the deal. They have not upheld a single item from past deals. Why should they start now?

I suppose you could do a low earth orbit fly keep you craft in day as long as possible.

I want to be able to walk to cafe, hold my watch over sensor, and have my home, school, or work station popup. When I walk away my desktop goes away.
Why not OK the keystone pipeline? We would get a more stable source of oil, generate jobs and reduce gas prices.

Hey all, theres been a bunch of low cost 3D printers poping up at Hack-A-Day lately:
$300 Pick and Place / 3D printer - http://hackaday.io/project/963...
Prototype of a Servo based Printer (much cheap elecytronic) - http://hackaday.com/2014/05/26...

I can't wait until someone ports them over to Google Native Client so I can play them in my browser.
