This has 4 times the memory, twice the clock speed and twice the cores of the Pi, of course it isn't going to be less then twice the price. Everything else being equal you might expect nearly 4 times the price (i.e. ~$130)
So, $130 for a bare board with CPU and RAM? Yeah that would sound great, except when anyone can build a whole PC for $191, http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2392163,00.asp With 2x the RAM and a CPU that rips the ARM on PandaBoard into a thousand of tiny teddy bears in terms of performance. And a frigging 500 GB HDD (ok, pre-HDD-crisis).
You could say, "yeah but it's not ARM and low-power etc". Okay. There are now Chinese tablets with comparable specs, http://www.aliexpress.com/product-gs/509457480-CPAM-Free-shipping-10-1-superpad-3-android-2-3-tablet-pc-flytouch-3-GPS-512MB-wholesalers.html that cost $125 shipped. Including stuff like 10" touch screen, camera, internal flash, battery, casing, etc, etc. There's no way a bare board should cost $130. It's just vendors up until now felt just fine with hiking up the price as much as they desire, because those who need it (for development etc) would buy it anyway, or even buy on their company's funds. But hopefully the Raspberry Pi will beat some sense into competitors in this area, and this will move an ARM PC from the ranks of a too-expensive-to-be-practical dream, to reality.
Era of absurdly overpriced ARM boards is ending
on
PandaBoard ES Benchmarked

· Score: 3, Interesting
I will ENJOY seeing this absolutely DESTROYED, BEAT INTO THE ASPHALT in terms of price to performance by the Raspberry Pi very soon. Days of $100-200 ARM boards are coming to an end, now dear Pandawhatever please set the sane price of $50 for your board, or die out of existence.
Checked eBay lately, you can get yourself a 7" Android tablet for like $65.
NanoNote has many virtues, but being cheap and "accessible" (third world, blah blah blah), is NOT one of them. On the contrary, it is WAY overpriced for what it is. And likewise so, this new wireless addon - 41 Euro, for god's sake, and you were saying something about students and poor children?
True, but its spanning is better than with LVM. You get what the parent asked, "1 disk dies, I no longer lose everything, the filesystem is easily mounutable and I only lose the files that were on that disk". And for redundancy, one can use mdadm RAID on the underlying devices.

I installed Element Hiding Helper addon to my Adblock Plus, and killed the sidebar altogether. Never used it even once, anyway.
There's also a "4D shooter" Adanaxis ( http://libregamewiki.org/Adanaxis ), where you have not just aim at things in three dimensions, but also align color of yourself with color of the target (if you don't do that, you don't hit it, and I believe can fly just through).
just scroll to the bottom of the screen and click older version. This is not the HTML only version, but the one just before the new interface upgrade. I find it responsive, less cluttered...and no buzz.
Also they can remove it at any time, and you/we can't do anything about it. The joy of depending on "the cloud".

Dead simple. A side-effect from going to x64, is that the quantity of General Purpose Registers in the CPU doubles (from 8 to 16). Twice more space for the compiler to put stuff in temporarily. That's akin to juggler suddenly getting four hands instead of two. Or a car, with 8 wheels instead of... hm, nevermind. The result is 10-15% speed-up for most operations. Also, there is the possibility to just use SSE whenever you need FP math, not having to bother supporting FPU fallbacks. More speed-up, when decoding and scaling images and the like. Anyways, read more about it at wikipedia.
Lineage II seems to have nowhere near WoW's popularity in the US. Given that Aion is done by the same company and is viewed by many as a LA2's "more/bigger/better", would it see the same fate?
You realize the term toon has existed since the early days of MUDs, MOOs, and MUX's, right?
But still, currently it is used almost exclusively (by some) in the WoW crowd, while other MMO's players refer to their characters, well... as "characters", or maybe "avatars".

Yep, and then just import it into http://sourceforge.net/projects/scuttle/ , which is a del.icio.us replacement to run on your own server.
Yeah, this supercomputer is totally 'meh', at reading the title I was hoping they used https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Loongson#Loongson_3 not nvidious crap.
