So are you seriously suggesting that tearing while moving windows on the desktop is a genuine problem? I can understand minor annoyance, but I fail to see how it interferes with work. I assume you are using the absurdity of desktop "effects". There sure isn't the slightest problem with Gnome2 or Xfce4 desktop configured sensibly.

My BeagleBone with 256MB is dandy serving as DNS, DHCP server, cvs server, web and some other stuff.
Raspberry Pi is just the meme. Consider what the Raspberry Pi can do for 1/8 the cost the big players were charging us. Now imagine a 64 bit server for 1/8 what one costs now.
Damn right. It's not really corporate welfare, because that implies you KEEP the corporation propped up. It's straight out cronyism and a deliberate policy of raping your own taxpayers and transferring wealth overseas.
Linux owes EVERYTHING to the heart, idealism and intellect of free men choosing to cooperate. Yes, corporations make valuable contributions, but that is because they cannot deny the value of what the free software movement has created. If the corporations had had their way, there never would have been a linux in anything like its present form and spirit, and CERTAINLY nothing remotely like the triumph of Gnu.
Not sure what you are trying to do minimizing Gnu. If all linux owed to Gnu was gcc, then Gnu would have been the absolutely vital enabling agent, but it owes MUCH more than that. Gnu utilities are in every single case vastly superior to the BSD ones. Yes, they are standing on the shoulders of BSD giants, but when BSD saw their userland as basically finished, Gnu saw an almost infinite number of enhancements and improvements to be made, and delivered.
Couldn't give a shit about games. Maybe that's the difference. I use computers for actual productive purposes, and I care a lot about power efficiency.
Intel drivers by far and away have been the best for as long as I can remember. Not the slightest hint of a problem on an RHEL6 clone. I can't even begin to imagine how you can have "tearing" on a static image. Sounds like hardware problems to me.
2) The higher resistance of water makes propellers more efficient. It's the reason prop planes have a maximum ceiling.
Complete and utter bullshit. Water and air propellers have very similar efficiency (useful propulsive power output divided by power input). Ceiling has nothing to do with propeller efficiency and everything to do with air density vs altitude.
3) Not sure how efficient these would be for cargo transport, however they are extremely efficient at sending hundreds of tourists plunging to a spectacular death.
Completely clueless bullshit. Never happened. The Hindenburg killed a grand total of... wait for it... 13 (thirteen) passengers. No other large airship ever killed a single fare paying passenger.
We pretty much _have_ moved away from x86. It really only lives on in server, desktop and laptop form. Tablets, phones, and appliances are close to 100% non-x86 and vastly outweigh the x86 market in terms of units in service and probably total market value.
I couldn't care less if it is x86 compatible (I assume it is emphatically not). I'm sure the FSF does not care, either. I would use this in a heartbeat for my main desktop, and since I haven't had any significant dealings with Windows in at least 8 years, all I need is a free Posix OS (probably linux) and a C/C++ compiler.
I always wondered why it is always assumed that separate CPU and GPU are somehow the most efficient use of silicon. It just seemed counter intuitive to me. If the proposed processor is as efficient as claimed, it looks like I was right to wonder. This absolutely annihilates Intel and AMD on a performance per watt basis.
Unenforceable in the state of California and any other enlightened jurisdictions. The "MAY" part on the face of it is unenforceable in any jurisdiction. Such contracts (that is what the signed agreements are in fact) based on grossly unequal bargaining position are in any case unconscionable.
Lots of people keep saying that but it ain't so. It was specifically created as a play/learning tool. That's not a denigration; it's a simple fact. I think it serves well in its intended role.
Development boards are Olimex, BeagleBone, et al.
You make a good point and I have no issue with it except for that minor quibble.

Why in the name of god would any TV have a camera and/or a microphone?
Or it's exercising some pretty obscure feature that Unity and E17 don't.

Yeah, look at AC's moderation score and then look at yours. Right now his is twice yours. I'd say plenty of us DO care about what he has to say.
Or Xubuntu.

Yes. To a battle of wits against RMS, these type of guys come unarmed.

Not sad at all for me.
Intel HD2000/3000/4000. The only graphics worth a bucket of warm spit. If you need more than that you're doing it wrong.
Obviously. So?

Better stick to your day job.
Slashdot is sort of like the people of Earth, but with many of the most ignorant self-selected out.

I would think so. Even a five buck embedded oriented ARM like Cortex-M4 (sans MMU; hence not suitable for real OS) has one nowadays.
Yeah. I know the feeling.
I can't even begin to imagine why you would suppose so.

I'd like some of what you're having.
