The question says "one mile south, one mile west, and one mile north." The west-bound portion is a curved line. If you walk a straight line, after one step you are no longer walking west, but rather a south-of-west direction.
Nothing against Farnell/e14/RS, but sometimes it's nice to be able to talk to a person, face to face, when an issue arises. You can take the item back to the store, discuss the issue, look the item over, look each other in the eye, and reach a conclusion as to how to proceed. A phone call, or email, lacks that kind of personal contact. Given the choice between a store and mail order, I'll choose the store whenever I can.
Anything Krauss says, anywhere, for the rest of his life, is tarnished for me, by his slimy defense of Epstein, who admitted having sex with underage prostitutes.
Sony, the company that thought it would be a good idea to use other computers in ways the computers' owners wouldn't want, now finds others using Sony's computers in ways Sony doesn't want.
Just before the New Madrid earthquake hit, snakes that should have been hibernating underground were seen active and crawling on the surface. According to legend, a medicine man observed this and commented that "there is evil on the earth."
With the crazy UI shifts, the security debacles, the hunger for hardware resources, and the generally inconsistent (read: shitty) performance of the various Windows releases, Microsoft has made a lot more enemies than friends over the years. What's worse is that it took their Board of Directors so long to oust Steve Ballmer, who was at the helm during their "screw the customers" years.
So now nobody likes Microsoft, nobody trusts them. The end users merely tolerate them, and even that has its limits. Such a transparent attempt to wring even more cash from their remaining customers is going to do nothing to win back former allies, while at the same time vindicating their critics.
There were once those who cried "break up Microsoft!" during the anti-trust sentencing. If Microsoft decides to go with subscriptions, it may end up bringing about its own break-up with very little outside effort.
Come on, Slashdot! Google reports your online behavior to the NSA, Facebook alters your mood for their own fun and profit, and now Pizza Hut is trying to read your mind. It's getting harder and harder for us conspiracy deniers.
This isn't your despised "liberal arts." It's practical application of STEM. How the hell is a degree in 19th Century Colonial African Literature going to help someone build a better aircraft?
$150 to replace a a fried unit? You miss the #1 selling point of the RPi: it's easy to replace. Never mind the on-board features. It's the price. Any "competition" that can't approach that, is in a different market niche, and isn't really competition.
You forgot to include "at a similar price point." Because, despite all the hoopla about its other features, that is the biggest selling point of the RPi: it's easy to replace a fried unit after a voltage calculation mis-places a decimal point.
The onboard computer stopped working properly, causing systemic error conditions. The engine block ended up cracked, and the brake liners overheated and glazed. The windows wouuld only roll down. Replacing the compute module won't do any good in this case. It's time to total this one out and move on.
There are ways to do it without parading your "charitable attitude" in front of the world. "Don't let your right hand know what your left hand is doing," but in Bono's case, his right hand knows, and so do all of ours, whether we want to or not.
So you'll just accuse me of being "jealous." If having his resources goes hand-n-hand with being such an arrogant ass, I have no reason to envy him.
If you think Vladimir Putin cares how many people know about this guy, you are sadly mistaken. Look how long Pussy Riot members were imprisoned. The only thing Putin cares about is showing people how powerful he is.

And of course, the thin-skinned Twitter twits get to decide what's "abusive" or "low-quality."
They have no problem with censorship, as long as they're the ones doing the censoring.
You forgot the Brendan Eich debacle.
I wouldn't pay a penny to listen to either of those no-talent hacks.

It's too bad you posted this as AC. You could have gotten some good karma from the mod points.

Karma's a bitch.

Right, no comments in over 8 months makes one a "regular commenter."
But every comment on the first two pages shows -1 score. So the first two adjectives stand.

Consider adding "print server" to your list. Mine does pretty good with my Brother HL-1240 on the USB.

The bird of paradise comes pretty close.

Oh, wait, the camel already beat them to it.
Because this really does look like a corporation bent on its own destruction.
Because TCP is a separate driver, and tracks the TCP connections on its own. And in ISO-speak, TCP is in the Session layer, not the Network layer.

The country's in the very best of hands.

Eliza... is that you?
We were talking about you, not me.
