Anyone who didn't realize Opera Mini was rerouting data for compression on their servers just didn't look into it before downloading and using it. It's a "feature" - supposed to get you faster browsing. Worked pretty well for me when I had it on a 3G Blackberry.
But can you control the relay of the serial commands to the cameras with the AppleTV device? Or use it to take over the Windows PC in your Winlink system? We're talking about wide functionality here rather than price, and I just don't see the AppleTV device, even when jailbroken, as a general computing replacement for an RPi.
Good point - that does look better. And I think maybe Peter with the third line, like this:
Quagmire: "Really? The Dutch government does a decent job at being serious on maintaining security of their citizens' identification data and your first thought is to criticize them for overreacting?"
Cleveland: "You've obviously never worked with sensitive data."
Peter: "Any decent admin's reaction should have been the same if it included the possible leak of sensitive data. This is an entire country's data."
Stewie: "You have no idea what you're talking about and should just shut your pie hole."
They use basic Unix, and they don't go police-state crazy when someone comes up with a jailbreak. And the hardware is pretty nice. But, there's a lot of differences between the complete openness and wide functionality of the RPi, and the closed system, higher price, and lesser functionality of the AppleTV device.
For me, it was in Cleveland's voice. I also don't know why. I think it was because of the term "You've obviously never worked with sensitive data". But, when I get to the last line, "You have no idea what you're talking about and should just shut your pie hole" - that's definitely a Peter Griffin line right there. In fact, this is possibly a conversation between Cleveland, Peter and Quagmire, instead of just one speaker, like this:
Quagmire: "Really? The Dutch government does a decent job at being serious on maintaining security of their citizens' identification data and your first thought is to criticize them for overreacting?"
Cleveland: "You've obviously never worked with sensitive data."
Quagmire: "Any decent admin's reaction should have been the same if it included the possible leak of sensitive data. This is an entire country's data."
Peter: "You have no idea what you're talking about and should just shut your pie hole."
Even a jailbroken AppleTV appears to do little more than work as an XBMC streaming device. Raspberry Pi has so many more applications - it's a general computing device.
Actually, obtaining a CFE certification is extremely difficult despite your highly suspect statements to the contrary. The requirements include: A bachelor's degree in accounting or criminal justice plus 2 years of professional fraud investigation experience as a prerequisite; Recommendations from other established CFE's; Twenty units of CPE required annually; Passage of a comprehensive exam on issues related to Law, Criminology, Investigations, and Accounting. Most applicants study for about a year to prep for the exam. CFE is one of the most recognized and respected international credentials for professional fraud analysts in the world, with official recognition of the certification in over 100 countries. For more info, the website of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners is www.acfe.com.
You're kidding. There's more like 10,000 people download Red Hat Linux for every one that pays.
Obviously a lot of their community software is free, like Fedora. But they charge a lot more than a buck to their paying customers for subscription maintenance service.
It's not a comparison of behavior - it's how you spend your time. If young men are so busy playing video games, then they don't have as much time to go out and get drunk and get in trouble.
"Why put their names out there? Why put their addresses out there? With all the crackpots we have running around this country? With all of the sex offenders were have out there, plenty of them in Jefferson County, why put children’s names out there?” said Abdalla. "Mothers have taken their children out of school in fear of what may happen. This has gone too far. Enough is enough."
Abdalla also claimed to know the identity of the person leading the online effort.
"I'll deal with that at another time," said Abdalla. "I know where he lives. I know his name, his mother's name, his father's name, his brother's name."
I wouldn't be surprised if they are losing money hand over fist from the app store. Maybe they are running it as a loss leader to get more sign-ups onto long term contracts with the cell companies.
Mac and Linux systems. I hear that some folks make a ton of money for Linux stuff they develop. IBM, Red Hat, Oracle, etc etc etc. And I highly doubt they have to have 6 customers download something to make a single dollar.
You just said "they just aren't given the option to do it via iTunes". Which means the artists get paid for every download. Which is exactly my point - musicians get paid for every download, app devs get paid for 1-in-6. Big difference there.
iTunes music and video sales must be a freaking goldmine compared to that - 6 app downloads just to make a buck??? If it weren't for ad revenue, this model wouldn't work at all. Might as well not even bother.
and can use whatever the hell devices they want. I primarily use Linux, with Windows for a few work related apps that only run there. Now kindly piss off.
My kids have 4 or 5 Apple devices laying around the house and I have an iTunes account, and all that has nothing to do with the fact that paid Apple shills come on here and troll anonymously with their "neckbeard" and poverty comments directed toward Linux users anytime one of their devices becomes the topic of conversation.
The root of all evil on earth, it would seem? However, kind of interesting that the drop in crime is also correlated with the rise of the Sony PlayStation and XBox? Maybe instead of going out and getting drunk and trashing stuff, young men are staying home and getting less drunk and playing Modern Warfare.
paid Apple shill disguised as an AC, trolling for opportunities to belittle the dirty, slovenly Linux users. Enjoy your time here today, and keep in mind - anyone who is good at developing for Linux is probably making a hell of a lot more $$ than you are trolling for Cupertino.
Our own genetic weaknesses are probably far more likely to do us in as a race long before the asteroids can hit or global warming could raise the seas enough millimeters to make the planet uninhabitable. Who knows? Maybe our future generations have finally wound down to just a few thousand people living at the bottom of the ocean with a super computer and enough oxygen to live another couple of decades. Maybe they've decided to simulate the universe from conception forward in their supercomputer in order to figure out what went wrong in hopes to undo it. Or, worse, maybe the computers are running the Matrix themselves, and all but a few of us are slaves inside of it, waiting for Neo and Trinity and Morpheus to come and free us all.

No, you can mount a lot of USB storage devices to an RPi ( http://raspi.tv/2012/how-to-mount-and-use-a-usb-hard-disk-with-the-raspberry-pi), not so with an AppleTV ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4054508?start=0&tstart=0).
Even a jailbroken AppleTV appears to do little more than work as an XBMC streaming device. Raspberry Pi has so many more applications - it's a general computing device.
You know Jobs must have left detailed plans for it.

From this article:

With all of the sex offenders were have out there, plenty of them in Jefferson County, why put children’s names out there?” said Abdalla.

And they are getting paid on a hell of a lot more than 1-in-6 downloads.
I was comparing a phone to a device that costs about half as much - a Windows laptop.
Rock stars with their iTunes income must be laughing their asses off at iOS developers and their $0.17 per app download.
Those numbers are hideous. Compare that to a Windows PC, where the average user probably buys $200 or more in software.
So on average one dollar for every six download.
