Not tried a BSD desktop but there's a linux compatibility layer which should probably run the game if needed and failing that, even running the Windows version under wine. PC-BSD may make it all mostly easy, who knows what configurations, tuning, builds of desktop environments (?) went into it, by installing a GUI over FreeBSD maybe you would miss a few things.
Did you try OSSv4 on your linux distro? it should give a first taste about how sound is working.
Flash on linux and firefox might suck, old version, but at least it stays the same over time (security fixes only)
So it's reasonably good. Wait, get firefox x+1 and flash 11.2 updates through the package manager, no need to care much about the videos (if the vid is html5 only, it appears to work. everything is unaccelerated on that PC save for linux/windows games and buggy/slow WebGL).
Home solar panels are in part a nuisance and they should be as little so as possible. A little home automation for scheduling power use around peak production hours would be needed. You may trigger HVAC, water heating, clothes drying and cleaning etc. and computation. Restrain lighting in "red" periods, if you go further. But such systems are undesirable on the internet, every one will get hacked and spied on thus they need to not belong on the internet and still get the info, one-way only. A PC or router may forward some pricing and grid state info onto the home devices, but it might be better to broadcast them on frequencies similar to FM radio.
This is exactly what you need to sell power at the peak hours, too.
Double-clicking on a.deb launches a package installer for me. Indeed it is "open" not "run" but I am not far away from installing some shit. If they bothered, porn sites and ads that masquerade as content etc. would make people download an "install this VLC player to view our porn".deb piece of crap after determining the computer runs Ubuntu (which I guess is what most home linux users have, including Mint) I've seen it on a semi-old Mac with whatever outdated version of Safari : "fake_VLC_48941.dmg" gets somewhat automatically downloaded, thankfully the OS and browser make it harder to get to the file because Macintosh menus are harder to use.
You can buy an OEM PC with FreeDOS, from taiwanese vendors at least, notably laptops. For desktops anyone can be an "OEM" including you. Limiting it to people that run a registered PC business, you have thousands of OEMs to choose from.
Mirror yourself debian in at least the i386 and "all" architecture (yeah "all" is mandatory as it contains all the data-only packages). If you try to do it for wheezy alone I believe you need about 140GB but don't take my word, that's kind of an order of magnitude. To get it you need the real rsync/whatever scripts (ask on IRC), ipv6 and wait.
Then you ought to be able to install whatever software instead of being stuck without foo-library, act as PXE server and debian mirror to install the OS on another computer or in a VM. Might want to put a 500GB SSD in a netbook. I wonder if HDDs even like the low air pressures.
Since late Pentium 4, not even the first version of Prescott.
Windows 8 driver on radeon 9600, X300 and geforce FX etc. : not sure that really works. Windows 8.x use WDDM 1.2 and 1.3, while Windows 7 uses WDDM 1.1 or XP driver mode. Anyway the computers aren't junk, when they do fucking work. I ought to put together some win 7 junk box so that a) I piss you off and b) run old games, if I come across an old KVM.
How come a car will use less energy? I can see that you're considering an electric car with its 80% efficiency or whatever (which moves inefficiency elsewhere in the chain) Using a bicycle uses less energy per mile than walking and the additional food (should I emphasize that) is not hard, just fill yourself with bread for instance (real bread made with no sugar). But that's thousand year old tech so I guess that doesn't count.
Most funny is that bicycles and cars appeared at about the same time, second industrial revolution around the 1880s.
In fact if we want to go all pedantic and nerdly, the Fire Pro variants on these Mac are said to be not such much Fire Pro as the drivers are specific to OS X and less featured. CAD, engineering etc. mostly happens on Windows.
A difference is Mac Pro uses a Tahiti GPU (on D500 and D700) which you won't find in any laptop. We would have to go back to the "sewing machine" or "oscilloscope" form factors of the 80s.
but maglevs are generally useless. Old school high speed trains can run so many more routes being compatible with plain old rail lines. That gives you oddities like spending most of the time on the shorter, slower portion of a trip but it works and you don't have to change trains. A decade or two later, the trip's duration gets shaved by another hour or two if more high speed track could be funded and built. Even then, there may be some controversy about the high speed tracks (another project that eats physical space, cuts fields and habitats in half and concern about the funding, maintenance and decreasing operation of low speed tracks). In France some are peeved about the extension of the high speed network. The fares are too damn expensive and we don't need to have fewer local trains running.
200 amps was on the provocative side. but about par for a Radeon R9 290X in the "uber' profile or overclocked. 100 amps is routine on a CPU : 125 watt and 130 or 140 watt models or even more for a few ones. It has hundred pins, around a thousand to connect it to the motherboards, most of those are ground and power.
Switch to what? The competition on its terms, default target for hardware support of almost every hardware and installation of arbitrary software, is Android. I guess PCs could switch to Android 5 as the default OS, then you'd be stepping from Windows to another new kind of Windows with most of the same issues.
This may give an impression of slightly broken which is otherwise unusual in Windows (if you can gloss over some specific stuff or the non standard UI in antivirus and other software).
Even with a start menu you may have the charms bar or more annoyingly Metro windows media player starts when you double click on a file so there's some more work to do which us old users take for granted but user competence with little settings and customisation isn't on the rise. They don't even know what a file manager is these days.
A rip off 128GB will probably be something like 4GB or 8GB under the hood. If you're going to make a fake flash card or USB drive, you use the current cheap flash.
The issue is the "PSU" on-board a big graphics card is not replaceable. It's power cirtcuitry that feeds on the order of 200 amps to the GPU and handles huge transients / power and voltage transitions.
No idea why you were modded troll, I wanted to somewhat disagree with you - the GPU aren't really "desktop", they are on custom boards a bit bigger than on laptops but smaller than on desktops. Funnily you will have a harder time replacing them, compared to an MXM laptop GPU board which at least follows some standard. You won't be able to get one from somebody else than Apple, and that would be on their terms such as handing your Mac over to an Apple shop and have them upgrade it for you (if they even agree to it).
It's not a laptop but there is a philosophy much like a laptop. Some other desktop hardware like "nettops", Intel NUC aren't much different.
With one battery per server you can design a custom power supply that's made with it in mind, and you can easily finely manage the battery and implement any scheme. e.g. server immediately throttles down when switching to battery power ; power is drawn from the battery when you spin up hard drives (if that makes sense), battery monitoring and power schemes are maybe a good job to run on a hypervisor.

I'm curious about what would be above GTK+3 on the list. Tcl/tk, FLTK 1.3 maybe?
Why not use GTK2. That'll teach them lol. At this point it won't go away like Motif and other toolkits?

If the CPU is a Ti OMAP 3621 (as I seem to understand it) then it has a Cortex A8 at 800MHz, so it is much more powerful than the rpi.

Some mail delivery happens on high speed trains :-).
FirePro is a driver. You even have an APU variant http://www.sapphirepgs.com/pro...

It requires a DirectX 9 GPU with a driver that works on Windows 8, and a CPU with NX bit. Really antique hardware is already left out, so you know.

The new standard will be to have a car and a computer but no house, or a computer alone. Unemployed, homeless and with a tablet / smartphone.
