I *would* assume that, given the child had a normal upbringing, they would have spent a good bit or their initial lives staring at a nipple... I don't know why that would be traumatic seeing the same thing again 5-8 years later.
Looks like Gabe is doing to PCs & set-top boxes what Google did with the phone. A customized Linux distro is a good start, but still much info missing.. does it integrate some gaming engine (maybe Source?) How much API support for hardware and software that aids in writing games? Is it even a gaming OS or is it just some content provider wrapper around Linux?
It's not just Java. The Android system is primarily C/C++ compiled services which run as Linux processes. All the apps are Java running under the DALVIK engine. If you are really serious about hacking Android then you are digging into the guts, creating new services that can be available to Java apps via Binder.
Servers mean you are serving data to others, which means that you are providing a service, which means that you are probably running a business for-profit or otherwise, which means you are not a consumer and should not be paying the lower price given to the consumer user base. This is not complicated.
As to the NAT, I've never heard of an ISP doing this... the ISPs I use never seemed to care how many PCs were sharing a connection via NAT/Firewall (Rogers and Shaw).
Just my two bits, I have been using Embedded IDEs for over 10 years and not found any good free ones. The issue is that it takes a lot of effort to get an embedded IDE to be not only useable, but really seamless. The points of difficulty are usually in the debugger and in the physical connection to the processor
These days the pysical interface is mainly JTAG which replaced the venerable (and expensive) ICE (In circuit emulator). In the past, many processor manufacturers would not release specs for their JTAG, to make ppl buy their IDE. TI was notorious for this. This made writing a free and open source IDE really difficult to do.
There are IDEs which are good wrappers for the compiler (Eclipse, Code::Blocks, etc.) but most of them use the generic GNU debugger (GDB) and this has never been my favorite debugger for *embedded* targets where you need to; quickly reset&re-run, perform inspection of variables and RAM contents (memory dumps), add breakpoints on data, not just functions, be able to debug all the way down to the iron, and other tasks.
The challenges in embedded firmware is that, for the most part, you are writing your own kernel and program all wrapped up in one executable, so there is no separate kernel always there in the background. The IDE and debugger have to support this type of basic program.
it used to be.. true. They recently moved to become a wrapper for Eclipse though, so it should only be as buggy as Eclipse is now.. knock on wood.
FYI, I used to use CCS in the early 00's working with C5x DSPs, man whata a pain in the @SS it was to use!

Been has agreed to leave the Ataris alone for a while and answer your questions about console modding and gaming in general.
Ben, when did you change your name to Been?
From the developer's standpoint it's extortion.io.

There you go, confusing Anime with Animation... 2 different cultures. Your going to make Sheldon froth at the mouth you know...

Wouldn't Woz's phone also include an open case design, some empty chip sockets and an expansion bus? You know, in case someone wanted to experiment. :)
Don't forget that you occasionally have to give it a smack to get it working again (a-la Apple ][)
BTW, Here is a good book on the subject (Embedded Android): http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920021094.do
So that's why I don't have any friends...
You leaned back in your easy chair and steepled your hands when you thought this out, right?
So, is this a Slashdot article about a Slashdot article? News must be slow today.
Kind of, yeah. Nature's feedback mechanism.
AG! You gotta lotta explaining to do!
SuperDaeE Os0orne. Luckily his insurance is re-enforced with super sealskin bindings. Still an idiot though.
Anyone who has played Serious Sam already knows that Egyptian relics come from space.
Sorry, just had to do it. :^)-

I'm not sure why ion gas is relevant to the conversation, anyway how do you hook up a gas server to the internet? :^)-
Have no idea if it will work or not, but it sounds hella cool.
