If we take an estimate of the revenue per employee at these robotic making companies, lets say €250,000, which is roughly what the average European automobile company is doing.
With this assumption these 240,000 jobs will mean €60 billion in robotics revenue that wouldn't be there without this initiative. But that is what they expect the entire market to be. My reading is that this initiative is only expected to increase European sales by €4 billion. But somehow that piss trickle of money is supposed to lead to 240,000 new jobs.
I don't tend to use busybox anymore because it isn't necessary. But I never found it to be that unpleasant. Most my embedded stuff only uses a few very basic shell scripts. Once someone comes up with a small ARM processor with enough on-board flash and ram for Linux, busybox will be just the thing for it.
It isn't because they didn't think of this. The PCIe and USB do look to be directly from the SOC. Ethernet PHY's are difficult or impossible to implement in the low voltage processes used for modern SOCs. DRAM and flash are sometimes mounted onto the top of the SOC, but that is more expensive, and typically used for mobile where space is at a premium. But if you were going to run a small embedded OS you can probably get by with the 512k or SRAM. Most the other chips are either power supply, or 3.3V I/O. These are again places where the SOC process doesn't allow for I/Os that handle the higher voltages safely.
Linux is not inherently bloaty. The kernel and a busybox based user space run on hardware a good deal weaker than this. I love Linux for embedded systems. Its network stack is rock solid, and with the modern kernel it is pretty easy to get near realtime performance.

They aren't the only ones working on it. But this technology has a huge potential to impact the way humans interact with technology.

Damn it's already passed. Oh well, "eating lunch" wouldn't have been a revelation.
For most software products it is competitively advantageous to have a lower price. A software developer will necessarily sell more licenses if there is no resale market. Therefore they will be able to lower their price to have a price advantage over competitors, and even if they lowered pricing doesn't gain them anything, they don't loose anything.
Of course there is nothing saying they can't do both--offer a higher priced transferable license, and a lower price non-transferable license.
Some people would prefer to buy non-transferable software licenses at a lower price.
But if a software developer can't sell a non-transferable license, then folks are stuck paying for an option to sell they don't want and will most likely never use.
Human children remain in what is often call the critical period far longer than other primates. It is during this period that humans are best able to pick up language. But, during the critical period the brain is not so good at standard reasoning. So human children have a hard time out reasoning mentally mature chimps.
What popular computing platform (or even rare platform) of the past isn't currently emulated on a standard PC. Obviously, the hardware to read old media is and will continue to be a problem, but software is definitely not a problem.
Because anyone can and will steal the digital artifact. For figerprints, the digital aftifact can be generated from any of the thousands of latent prints you leave around everyday.
My solution is that trusted readers cryptographically sign the hash + challenge. You can then check with a registrar how secure the reader model is supposed to be, if that specific device is known to have been compromised, etc.
In order to minimize the odds of creating a universe destroying paradox, the meeting will be held a sealed vault, and everyone will be automatically killed and incinerated immediately after the meeting. No grandchildren, no grandfather paradox.
The spec is quite careful in this regard. The power can be delivered in either polarity, because there is a diode bride at the powered device.
Also it does a low voltage discovery phase to determine if the device is POE, and how much current the device can be expected to draw. If it is not POE then no power is deliverd. This also avoid the potential for a scary spark when pluging in a POE device.
Actually, it works by put 40VDC between the TX and RX pairs. The coupling transformers block the DC before it gets to the PHY. It is compatible with gigabit.
POE allows the use of the unused lines. This is needed for a seperate power injector, which can't touch the signal lines.
My understanding of the Thai market is that most computers come with Windows Me, because it is cheap. Very few people actually use Me. Instead they wipe the drive and install a pirated version of XP.
So Microsoft just went to all this trouble to develop a whole new OS version that people are just going to wipe and replace with pirated XP. Why make SE, when Me was aleady allowing MS to making a small amount of money on the sale new computers.
2 is always in the list of primes. Your point that any odd number + 1 can no longer be odd, is exactly what is behind this proof. Any n-divisible number (n not 1) plus 1 is no longer n-divisible.
Youth plays an important role in the dynamic growth and advancement of human culture. As we age we become loath to tear things down and start again. On the other hand stagnation leads to decay, and decay provides oportunity for revolution. Probably the old will all end up slaves to an over-class of young leaders who opt to die at an appropriate age.
As we shift our population balance, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Obviously the population is alrady starting to shift, and the shift is already having an impact.
Isn't subverting governments an activity that spies engage in.
In that case, gator is definately spyware, because it subverts my computer from doing what it should do.
All the same it is some form of Malware.
As I understand it only countries who have experience testing real nukes, can really hope to achieve much with simulation.
You can throw all the computer horsepower you want at a simulation, but you need some way to validate the results. Of course if you have a perfect understanding of sub-atomic physics and can develop a large scale software project with zero bugs then you should be good to go, but back in reality we need a way to validate.
AbiaTech has good prices on PC/104 computers, and I've found there stuff to be good quality.
The FB2510 is a 300MHz Geode(decendent of the Cyrix line) system with built in ethernet and VGA/LCD video. It has roughly the performance of a 300MHz Pentium. It doesn't need a fan, which is a big bonus.
The price on single units for the FB2510 was $280 about a year ago. The website's price-list is a broken link so you'll have to call to get the current price.

Somewhere around there the number of transistors in a chip becomes equal to the number of atoms in the known universe.

Since they aren't using their brains to select a good computer platfrom, they are free to use that brain power for other purposes.

Stick with money. It makes everything easier to manage and measure, which allows you spend more time focusing on business and getting work done.
