Uhm no. Customers are idiots. Witness what the videogames industry has manged to get out of videogamers.
The videogame industry mostly sells to teenage boys. You can get away with a lot more when you're selling an entertainment product to kids than when you're selling a business product to other businesses.
Businesses will dismiss it as the cost of doing business. $50 is a tiny fraction of what a graphic designer costs them every year.
Who knows what they meant, but taken literally "one to three times bigger" means
x+x... x+3x
"one to three times as big" would be
1*x... 3*x
Being somewhat of the anal retentive disposition, it annoys the hell out of me when someone says "200% increase" when they mean "doubled", which is merely a 100% increase.
(And since this is *very* common, I stay annoyed the hell out of most of the time.)

A few seconds at openwrt.org will reveal that OpenWRT is a specialized Linux distribution, and they've simply migrated to the 3.3 kernel. Kind of like Ubuntu 10 migrated to 2.6, lo those many years ago.
Maybe this qualifies as news for some people, but it's certainly not something to get your panties in a bunch over.
Even better, the pentagon/military already funds their own basic research, that's what DARPA is all about -- the NSF is supposed to be separate for NON MILITARY purposes. So now everything is all about supporting the Military Industrial Complex.
How do we as a nation let these clowns have any sort of power.
I like Jon Stewart's send-up of another professional congressional 'ktard. (Sorry, eight minutes long, and you have to watch the whole thing to see the full depth of the idiocy. But then it's Jon Stewart, so you may want to invest the eight minutes anyway.)

The cynic in me thinks that most of psychiatry is concocted to sell therapy sessions
FTFY
What's the hourly rate for a psychiatrist these days?
My wife is a budding professional photographer, and my son is highly creative and in middle school.
That's gonna take a big bumper sticker.

But don't forget that InDesign won't save backwards compatible files, so if you want to work with someone who uses InDesign CS7 you need CS7 too
This is how software vendors keep their revenue streams alive.

Good luck if he thinks he convince the American public that televised fiction isn't fact.
You're going to die of old age, QA. And there's nothing you can do about it.
Actually there is, though I hesitate to recommend it.
Not to mention the inter-breeding. So much inter-breeding.
Who'd want to be the captain of a starship, if not for all the opportunites for inter-breeding?
I think that the main issue is that people see the TV shows and movies and think that "life" has to look like that.
But those are just theatrics so that human actors can play the parts. Look at the variations of life on Earth. From whales to worms.
Are you telling me that the galaxy isn't full of people who grow lumps of rubber on their heads?
Turns out if you're color blind, red and green are very rare and special colours.
If you're red-green colorblind, that should be "colo[u]r", singular.
See? We are the only place in the universe that can sustain life.
Great. Now that we've got that established, we can argue over which god made it.

A Raspberry PI is also way more CPU power than needed to do it, which means it can also do a whole bunch of other stuff too.
My ++ model will mine Bitcoins between drone attacks!

That's as much of a "shield" as a radar detector "protects" you from speeding tickets.
OK, have it send the e-mail to your next of kin.
Nothing short of a Soviet Workers America can stop the genocidal depradations of the killer gang of Wall Street/Washington.
Hopefully better spelling will be a natural consequence of said recolution.
Ah, spelling. I was wanderg why he wanted to de-Prada his new Soviet state.
Time and again the BitTorrent site has responded by relocating to new domains.
They should implement themselves in software, and put it on BitTorrent.
Would have approved.
And now for some karma whoring^W^W^Wthe actual details:
You left out the most important part:

That was an intense response.
Actually it was a bold, all-caps response.

why not suggest that these mutant mice could make better human analogues, and help test treatments against brain disease?
What's next, crash test smarties?
Very disappointed at the suggestion that autism is a "disorder".
I prefer to think of us as "alternatively saned".
