It could very well be illegal to download from the artist. Often artists don't own the rights to their work, having signed them away in contracts in exchange for money.
Compare the actual number of subpixels on the two phones. The GS3 and Nexus have 2/3rd the number of subpixels in a regular display (they go RG BG instead of RGB RGB), which makes them seem to have a higher resolution.
Apprentice gave me some error about couldn't open Plains.jpg, then repeated "Send buffer full, try again later" and then crashed on my first attempt to play a game. Second attempt I got into a game, but when I drew 7 cards it gave "List index (59) out of bounds."
Interface still sucks, you have to know all the commands and all the rules of the game to play it (compared to the commercial M:tG games, which suck for other reasons, but at least they help you with the rules)
Here's the thing you and the other reply is missing: There's no way to encode, you cannot change the value of the bit! You both take the same measurement and both get the same result, but there's now way of forcing that result to be 1 or 0. You're both flipping a coin, and the coins will always land heads or both will land tails, but it's random and you have no control over it.
I was hit with the USB issues, can't plug in more than two USB devices without the third one failing. There's some experimental kernel patches that solve the problem for some people, but not everyone. I haven't gotten around to trying them yet.
You need them to take money out of an ATM. Also, if you make a purchase with a debit card using the PIN, you get less protection (coincidentally, the bank makes less money in fees from the purchase as well)
RMS, is that you? The world is never going to be your communist open source utopia where closed source and profiting off of software is illegal. People don't need the netlist for every IC they use. This board is more closed than most, but it's a compromise I'm willing to make as the price per performance is better by a mile than anything out there.
Putting it in a safe wont stop a determined criminal. Just like the common Slashdot aphorism that the most powerful encryption can often be defeated by a $5 wrench in a back alley.
There are already several places selling "fake" Arduinos. They are actually identical to the real ones, because the design to arduino is completely open source, and the official one has a rather high margin, so there's space for chinese manufacturers to come in and produce clones for cheaper.
Basically they do this because they want to be able to update the browser silently. The update process for firefox involves dialogs popping up, you have to OK them, then next time firefox restarts you have to approve a UAC prompt (on windows at least, I assume some kind of sudo popup on linux/mac). Chrome updates silently in the background, next time you open it you have the new version, but you don't get all sorts of popups and new tabs spamming you about it like with firefox. Also updating chrome doesn't disable half your extensions which is nice.
That cable is totally non standard, for crazy devices that output analog over their HDMI port. Most do not. HDMI is digital, VGA is analog, you can't convert from one to the other with a simple cable. It would not work for the raspberry pi (notice how the page says NOT FROM COMPUTER OR LAPTOP on it)
From what I read the theoretical max is 512MB, but it depends on a 512MB chip in the specific format being available (it's a special package, it mounts directly on top of the processor), which at this point either doesn't exist, or is hard to get.
For about $10 you can add on wifi and bluetooth ($2 for a USB BT adaptor, $8 for a USB wifi adaptor). Sure they may not be the fastest, but for something like this low powered ARM chip, you're not going to be pushing hundreds of megabytes per second anyway, so it's not an issue.
Due to issues of scale, I bet it would cost them much more than $10 to add wifi & bt onto the board itself.
They are using a Broadcom processor, which is proprietary and not available to the general public. Coincidentally, the leader of Rasberry Pi also works for Broadcom. They are known for being pretty unfriendly to open source in general, so most likely that has rubbed off on him? My thoughts are that they are trading away openness in order to get the price down ($25 is an amazing pricepoint for an ARM board at this caliber)
The chipset powering it is a proprietary broadcom System-on-a-Chip. The reason they are able to use it, is because the leader of the rasberry pi project works for broadcom. You can't even get a datasheet for the processor. Also it's BGA, something you can't normally solder together in your home without fancy equipment.
Spout plans to create a client side plugin system, which will unlock the ability to add custom blocks, monsters, and items to the game. Imagine joining one server, and having it automagically download all the new game content and install it seamlessly. Then, log out and join the next server, totally vanilla, without ever closing the game.
Cool, sounds like they're trying to do exactly what I want, will help a lot with the mods. Can't wait for them to finish. (Current versions of spout seem to just add a few minor features, they don't have any of that advanced stuff yet).
Can I plug it into bukkit yet? Can other players log onto my server without having to go through the hassle of loading up forum pages, opening up minecraft.jar, replacing class files, etc?
That's the main problem with all the minecraft mods (besides bukkit ones), they're a hassle to install, and don't work on multiplayer (and the ones that do, require every single player to muck about with their client).
Probably the built in NPCs wont be as good as millenaire, but at least I'll be able to easily use them
I'm in the US, I pay $50 a month for 18/2mbit cable, with a 300GB cap. Over that, it's $5 for 25GB (which is $0.20 per GB). I've gotten close, but haven't gone over 300GB yet.
It's amazing what happens when there is competition -- there are two cable internet providers in my city (Comcast and Astound)
You've never seen a.NET program crash in managed code? You must not run very many of them then...I've seen it all the time. It's perfectly possible to crash a program with unhandled errors etc, without having to touch unmanaged code at all.

That's actually the state of Java today. You have to tell the VM ("interpreter") how much memory to allocate.

Uhh...I'm sorry, but if you're getting within $200 of your credit limit, you're doing it wrong.
Just picked three random motherboards off newegg, expensive, midrange, and cheap, and none of them had serial or parallel ports:

Interestingly, the cheapest one does list serial and parallel headers on the board, so with the right adapter you could still get them.

So you're saying hacking child porn sites is like sleeping in tents outside banks?

Hmm, you've got a good point. We should definitely discourage any sort of technical advances, since those advances might be used for DRM!

Well, your printer does embed invisible tracking codes into the printed page which links it back to you...
