Cause now that the capitalist west has offshored the production of those billions of transistors, integrated circuits and computers to his countrymen, we need to be able to e-mail them.
I am developing a system targeted to run on a wandboard (www.wandboard.org), which is a really good "embedded" system similar to the BeagleBoard, but uses a Freescale iMX6 A9 Arm processor and is available in single, dual & quad core CPUs with 512MB to 2 GB RAM.
However, even with the quad core 2GB ram version, builds take a really long time, so I use a regular PC that I built using a new Haswell CPU, 16GB ram and a 240GB SSD to do development and even unit testing. I can make several changes, build everything 6 or more times and do some more testing in the time it takes the wandboard to complete 1 build. I also perfrom cross compiles on the "PC" to target the wandboard and scp the resulting binaries over after the build completes.
Both the wandboard and the PC run ubuntu 14.04 and the system in question is being developed in C++ with Boost, rabbitmq and ODB to run on the wandboard and also "regular" x86-64 linux and windows. You should also look into using Yocto, which looks very interesting for cross platform development. However, I am currently just using eclipse on both the wandboard and the linux PC (and MS Visual Studio on the windows machine).
Since the Raspberry pi an dmany other "Micro PCs" utilizes an ARM processor, none of the Intel x86 software binaries mentioned will be usable on them.
However, if the MicroPC in question utilizes an Intel x86 CPU, it should at least be feasible.
I agree with you. However in a lot of places there is no public transportation or cabs (or if there is, it is not reliable).
Such as in Detroit -- the "Motor City" (and Michigan in general)
Requiring users to change their password often and requiring long and "strong" passwords that are difficult to memorize is not the answer to better security. This results in people having to write down their password someplace convenient for them (and any nefarious people around). This is well demonstrated by the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" where the main character find the schools' passwords taped inside a desk and alters his and his friends grades.
It also trains users, and the help desk, that they will have to reset their password often. This has the effect of making the actual passwords irrelevant to security. All a nefarious person has to do to gain access to the system is convince the help desk that they are an employee that needs to change their password.
When there are complaints of a "Shortage" of STEM workers, what is meant is not enough newly graduating students with STEM degrees willing to work long hours for little money. There is no consideration of workers already in STEM fields or unemployed workers with STEM experience, especially if they are over 30!
What these employers really want is more H1B indentured servants and/or an excuse to "offshore" everything.
You could try Pogo Plug's Private Cloud, a $50 box you can plug a USB hard drive into and use as your own 'private' cloud. There is sync/streaming/backup software for Andriod and iDevices and backup/management software for Windows and Mac.
//also the PogoPlug is a small linux box that can be modified to do whatever you want.
iTunes/iCloud is NOT a valid solution since it resides in the 'cloud' and Bucc5062 specifically stated that "I did not want to store files in the greater 'cloud'"!

The same what they email you when they don't even have a key that corresponds to a letter in your email address.
She should of of ordered High Explosives and Timing devices instead and she would of avoided getting on the list!
Hey! At least 1% is provable in a court of law!
that was setup by George Bush....

Quitting school to found a startup might make sense; at least it's honest gambling.
Bill Gates agrees with you...
I wonder if anyone would notice a postal zone dump, would it even be relevant anymore? It would probably only turn up pizza ads....
ONLY if the cab driver has a stated/posted policy of "I'll pick up anyone, anywhere and not ask any questions." So he doesn't pay attention
Actually, that sounds like a lot of cab drivers...
Because, back in the day on unix and xenix systems vi was often the only option other than ed and you got used to it...
They're all stoneage.
Well -- yeah -- that's kinda the point of this thread.....
or an AMD chip running the Intel x86 32-bit ISA will also work...

For handling network and serial communications.

The Audi S4 is the high performance variant of an Audi A4, so it is 2 "models" in the same carline with very few differences between them.
and, of course, China would never, ever consider doing that....

If your users can do their job, then obviously IT Security is not doing theirs and stricter security policies are required!
We do have some metadata logging enabled
That's what the NSA said....
When did C (not++) become an OOP language?
