Depends on what you call "quality". I assume you are speaking from a first world point of view, regarding nutrition values, calories, fat, salt and whatnot. Sure, ol'McD [sorry] isn't as healthy as a whole-food salad and salmon plate. But compared to street food found in most 3rd world countries, a Big Mac is usually safer.
It's junk food, and will probably kill you, just not from dysenteria.
Yeah, EA is a gaming company, that survives by taking money from people in exchange for shitty, overhyped products AND they have a tendency to buy smaller company that used to ship good and great products, only to apply to them the EA quality factor of zero, and basically put them to sleep, repeatedly.
Sure, they don't make tuberculosis medicine or guidance systems for airplanes. But they have hundreds of thousands people working for them at any given rate and those are pretty crappy jobs also. Not counting millions of indirect jobs.
That's all fine and well and I don't have any problems with that... provided that system is ONLY activated for multi-player games.
...You just described VAC, buddy. It's only active for a few multiplayer games, IF you connect to a VAC-enabled server. There are even multiplayer game servers that encourage cheating.
Looking at the specs, it's like the Arduino R3 and Beaglebone Black had some time alone in a room and this thing spawned.
Same Sitara 1Ghz processor, and BBB also has 2 Cortex M4 MCUs. However, this one sports a fullsize HDMI out instead of the microHDMI on the BBB, and loads more USB ports. Looking good...
Absolutely no contest there, man, although that doesn't mean it does not happen.
Our hospital network just changed from a major XP install to a Seven one, and most clients are running WITH admin priviledges. Hey, that's not a bad thing on my side: I'm just a practicing MD, but I bet my workstation is far safer than everyone else's because I can fix the dumb stuff they did via GPOs.
>Also, last time I inserted any USB into my XP box, it popped up a dialog asking what I should do with it.
Then I have two bad news for you: one, you're not up to date on your security patches, namely disabling autorun from removable drives, and two, you are one social engineering step away from being infected. That's how it starts, you click on an icon that looks like a folder but you're actually running malware.
2003 called, they wanted their scaremongering back.
If you use OSX and practice safe computing (that means NO JAVA FOR YOU), then yea, you're tough as nails to crack. No OS is idiot-proof, though.
The same can't be said for many variants of Windows, especially those still using XP where inserting an infected thumb drive will wreck havoc on your system, hell no, on your entire enterprise network.
Srsly. Since when does a piddly $54 scare away a bona fide nerd. Having tools like this around when you have an epiphany on the crapper is priceless. I mean, come on, any of you could wipe your ass with $54 and still have plenty where that came from...

Not insightful, a troll at best.

The official policy is that if a device is FCC-certified or ETSI-certified, it WILL NOT be blocked.

, shades of grey and all that.
Great, so now Maduro invades the stores and whips the shit out of the owners?
Humans are polyphasic too, as infants. We are conditioned into a 8-hour cycle, but it's neither the most efficient nor the best one for your health.

That would be a hell of an identity
Crysis
when playing games generally the video card will use the most cpu followed by the monitor followed by the cpu
I think you accidentally something there.
Point is, "netflix-desktop" performance is craptastic at best. On an ION2 mobo that plays 1080p without issues I am lucky to get 15 fps on that thing.

I'll bite. I run Steam on Windows and OSX, my Windows client lists 257 games. The same library on OSX amass 167 games, and 83 on Linux.
Yeah, Linux compatibility is a fraction of Windows Steam titles, but not that low.
Can it run Crysis?

But MACS!!! ARE!!! NOT!!! IMMUNE!!! TO!!! BAD!!! THINGS!!! is way catchier.

70% of *something* is better than 100% of *nothing*. They created the roads, they are entitled to their tool booths. Quit bitching.

I was going to buy FOUR of them to hack and play around with small devices like the Raspberry Pi. Balked at the $216 price tag and never came back. Don't judge.
We have $25 single-board computers and $25 OpenWRT-enabled routers WITH USB SUPPORT (TP-Link WR703N).
A $54 Wifi dongle is, no matter how you put it, downright stupid.
Looks like the price of freedom is pretty steep.
It's not like we are starved for wifi dongles that "just work" on Linux without NDISWrapper. We're not in 2003.
eg: http://dx.com/p/802-11n-150mbps-wifi-wlan-wireless-network-usb-adapter-53538 $10 bucks including shipping, and there are TONS cheaper than this. I just looked for one that specifically said "Linux compatible".
Right, in the middle of the Amazon, I presume?
Except that NoScript does not protect anyone from downloading "hi_I_saw_you_wanna_fuck.jpg.scr.pif.exe.bat.com"
What are you going to do with several hundred 40GB IDE drives?
World's crappiest RAID5?
Other than as a proof of concept is there any fundamental use for this facility?
Does anybody want to play Doom like it was 1993?
Yes.
It's easier to commit crimes against humanity when they are going to be pinned to a different name than yours.
