Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had room for improvement and has therefore accepted a five-year phasing in of "Euro-English".
Nice try but I don't think the Queen gets a say with Brexit on the cards, which would leave only Ireland and Malta as member states with the tongue as a (co-)official language.
Not if you're intentionally crippling a 64bit processor with 1 gig of RAM.
As a hobbyist machine an Atom seems like complete overkill but as a SFF PC it's immediately hobbled. A RAM socket to address up to 8 Gig would make sense for a build server for things such as Androidx86 that require a 64bit OS for certain tasks.
Anything that needs x86 compatibility, you're talking about a project like ReactOS as a reference device - buy everyone on the development team one and get Windows XP/2003 compatibility working *perfectly* on it...
If you were after performance you'd look at a Core i3/5/7.
Power consumption - by using an Atom, I save several dollars a month not turning on the P4 donated to me by a family member. P4 desktops are noisy buggers, which one notices in a home office.
Options are great! I have about half a dozen different JavaScript runtimes on this Linux box alone - V8 for Chrome, several different versions of JavaScript Core bound to webkit embedded in Qt and GTK+ plus SpiderMonkey for iceweasel. So I'm hardly going to drown with one more...
Does the world *need* yet another open source runtime? Well possibly not but if Microsoft are prepared to spend time and money in liberating Node from v8-isms then good luck to them. c.f. Python and Ruby have benefited in terms of multiple runtimes to the extent of portability. The bigger picture may be implementation-independent bindings to not just Node but other use cases above.
And before someone plays the "'brace, 'tend and 'tinguish" card, I'd give Nadella the benefit of the doubt before comparing his era to the dark days of Gates and Balmer.
In the short term, if you want the most secure and up-to-date Android device, buy Nexus, but I expect soon others will be challenging Google for that spot.
Except when Google discontinues your device support.:(
Please encourage your superiors to release official Marshmallow images and updates for the Google Nexus 4.
Buying an Ubuntu tablet won't necessarily fix the blob issue.
Last I checked Ubuntu Touch was running a stripped down Android HAL inside an lxc container to provide hardware access, with Mir and other services bootstrapped via libhybris.
Film-maker needs a location. With a local township's blessing, all the extras in the film speak an authentic human endangered language and the language is thus preserved on film.
For example, a low-budget British movie might have the following in the end credits,
"Portions of this film were filmed on location on the Isle of Man. The 'Kpukrab' language heard throughout the movie is actually Manx, a Celtic language that went extinct back in 1974 but has since been undergoing revitalisation. A financial contribution was made to preserving the language through a foundation and 5% of the profits of this production will be donated to further these efforts"
Wouldn't one just round up to the nearest quarter for tipping purposes anyway? When I holidayed in Canada and the US I used to chuck my small coinage in the tip jar out of courtesy anyway, i.e. that $2.70 caffe latte becomes $3 in no time...
If smaller denominations are only useful for giving to the homeless then stop minting them!
Less wealthy nations such as Timor Leste and El Salvador use the US Dollar as their currency. Withdraw them from circulation in the US and ship a containerful elsewhere.
very slowly I believe, as it's the work of a single figure of volunteers and whatever handsets they use or have donated.
Seems like an obvious candidate for crowdfunding - make a deal with Broadcom and produce a phone for under $100 piggybacking off the r Pi community to help work on the drivers.

*cough* Windows. :)
In any case, high end phones come with 3GB.
The celeron has an older GPU too, if you were planning on using the PC as a workstation.
A desktop PC will use a lot more power. Check your electricity bill!
Faster? Only on single-threaded code. A 2007 Celeron will struggle otherwise against a quad core Atom.

Possibly not, for the specified architecture. Windows 10 IoT targets the raspberry pi 2.
Google Chrome on Windows is amd64 and i386 only.

What if 'alien' languages were in fact human?

Free publicity is good publicity. If you missed the original product announcement, here's yet another front page story on Slashdot... :)
The article mentions the d-link embeds Linux.
Is there a dd-wrt equivalent for webcams and a list of compatible models? or are these things generally tivoized?
Any small animal the cat killed we'd throw into the compost bin and the worms didn't seem to mind.
And all 3 users of Amazon products were dismayed. :)
If Amazon see Office as a value-add on their platform then they'll come to a business arrangement with Microsoft.
Apple are welcome to base their drivers around Nouveau and Mesa. :)
World Bank suggests Australia's economy would grow by less than 1%.

Here in Australia 25 years ago we abandoned 1 and 2 cents.
Said coins exist in the Eurozone but even 15 years ago, small denominations were worthless to the point that not every national mint produced them.
Seminal work on chess by Nimzowitsch?
Dustin Hoffman was excellent in Star Wars.
llamas and vicunas are plentiful in the antiplano. Potatoes originate from that part of the world too...
