Remember this is a concept of "functionally insane", and those people normally don't end up as inpatient until later in life when their illness gets the better of them. True, its all sort of gray, but it exists.
My point is that if you have bandwidth caps, transferring data in any meaningful amounts can lead to significant costs at the end of the month due to caps.
Umm i thought i said that myself, that DFS is the answer to all the other problems and then the only way to stop it is via caps. Perhaps i didn't say that but i thought i did..
Yes, i know what DFS means, and I'm talking about a form of DFS in the cloud here as the only real solution. ( read up on freenet if you don't understand what i mean )
Just do some shopping out on the china wholesale sites for what you want, there are plenty of them out there. Some are stupid expensive, others are reasonable.
I had forgot to include small tablets as well, while they are bigger than a PI they also give one more local display ability, which for some projects might be an advantage... 70 bucks for a 7 or 8 in tablet with HDMI and usb host ports is not out of the question. I fully admit that battery life will suck, but an external PS takes care of that problem.
I have not priced USB data acquisition modules lately, but id have to figure they are in line with what modules for the PI ( or similar ) would run.
Not saying its impossible, i have never heard of anyone bricking a phone restoring stock firmware, only '3rd party' ROMs..
The reason i feel this stuff is a valid option is i have used a palm T/X with a host port adapter just for this.. was inexpensive ( used ) and while not as universal as android it was more than programmable.
Not saying its the answer for everything, but when i can get what the PI does + so much more for about the same or a little higher.. it seems silly in most cases go to the route of the PI.
And having cellphone data isn't to sneeze at if you want to do some remote control stuff too far for wifi to reach.
Except for the last point ( thus my statement about external usb ) you can get all the above. HDMI output to your tv, bluetooth keyboards and mice. I am assuming you get an android phone here, and not a chinaOS type.
Now space might be an issue for your 'media' since you are limited to flash cards, but you can always stream from a file server over wifi..
With the price of 'smartphones' now, you can get a cheap china-sourced device that is about as small, and has all the communications you need AND even has a built in touchscreen.
Sure it may not have a lot of data i/o devices on board, but it has audio in/out and they have usb, so that is covered too.
The main problem with DFS systems like freenet is bandwidth use. As the ISPs ratchet down what you get each month it will outright kill options like this.
A 3 letter agency doesn't really need to do covertly, they just call up the city, 'we are doing this, don't cut them down or you will piss us off'. Even if they are a 'secret' agency, they have 'a non-secret' front they can use. Especially since its not illegal for them to do this.

Unless you are *looking* for AP's, once you are setup you never will see that your neighbor is being a jerk. your machine just auto-connects to yours, and you are off and running.

Um, ya, sure it is. You don't know how to manipulate the system do?. Its not hard.
..........or until you no longer want them as a customer. If you stop support on something they paid you to write, you have lost them most likely.
Sure you are in the right legally, but is it worth the lost business?
Soooo does this mean the US Federal government agrees that copying data without permission isn't a crime?
Sure sounds like it.
But if they find out they can make your work life rough on you.
"Sorry dear employer, i have neither, and if i did you wouldn't be getting the passwords anyway". Then flip them the bird as i walk.
Squatters. As if no one expected this.
I expect extortion for 'adult' TLDs that sound similar to commercial sites. ( like google.sex or something )
Don't let them in.
They are. Especially for art.

And cant be anonymous. Besides if it can be created it can be copied. Its just a matter of making the cost of entry too high to be worthwhile.

The link between them doesn't exist, as they are one in the same.

Restoring firmware is pretty trivial too.

Get off my lawn.
When i was a kid we put the spent film in our pocket ( and then suitcase ) and waited until we got back to see the pictures.
Product of a public school i take it?
If you really didn't know who she was and are from the USA, this is a sad day as i'm sure you were not alone.

From a quick glance at the sparse web page, it seems rather basic and nothing to get excited about..
So why should i care about this? ( no, not trolling, seriously. why should i want to jump ship from something like Eric or pyscripter? )
If they didn't have authorization from the city/etc then not only were they doing something a bit on the dangerous side, but its also illegal.
If they did, then its part of the city network anyway and not a huge deal.
I had it first, give it back!

That proves their point.. go figure.
