Hmmm, I'm guessing one could also create another partition and install a full Linux distro as well, though there's no telling how UEFI might come into play.
While your electricity cost calculations are a bit off, you have a point there: many people have way overpowered machines running HTPC/server setups, and could easily save a lot of power there.
No more Bittorrent, nobody will have an open port range.
I'm curious to see how piracy will be impacted if CG-NAT really gets implemented widely. Most of warezing happens in P2P manner and, unable to accept incoming connections means a big hit for that kind of systems. Some MAFIAA representative must already be rubbing hands together and laughing maniacally there somewhere. I wonder if some Pirate Party would then try launching its own ISP where the selling point is to have a real IP address.
NAT is not and has never been a security mechanism on its own.
While NAT has not been designed to be a security mechanism, it blocks incoming connections, so it can be seen to increase security regarding network attacks against the machine.
There is no anonymity, since any website that receives an access request has to route that data back to the original requestor, not just to the NAT boxes in between.
In that scenario there is more anonymity than exposing your real IP address. That route-back information changes for every TCP connection established, so while tracking you might still be possible, it's a bit tougher.
Frankly, Lunduke's projects are quite simple, so it's okay to let the genie out of the bottle. The donation model works here perfectly: throw a couple of dimes in the guitar case if you find them cool. At the same time, indie game devs can use them as good learning material.
Why does it seem when major problems like this arise companies are quick to dismiss/deny/ignore whatever as the first response?
I agree, this is extremely annoying of so many companies. You're supposed to be a respectable company selling very expensive phones, why not stand up and say at least something like "Samsung has verified the issue and is investigating it".
But there is only a source distribution of libopenmalware available, and I'm unable to roll it into a.deb package. Also there is some small syntax errors while compiling, which I believe are related to the gcc version I'm using.
Curse this garbage, how can installing some simple malware under Linux be this hard!

What the hell? Android is a Linux distro.
There still hasn't been a single AAA title developed with Unity 3D, despite their many claims.
Cities in Motion 2 just came out...
SDL is actually quite thin, close to hardware, abstraction layer.
Google Play, Xbox Live Arcade, Steam, GOG...
His point was only that a single man can still make a game.
So why exactly is anyone associating the word "open" with Raspberry Pi?
Anything which does not run Microsoft/Apple capitalist software and gives a nice warm, homebrew feeling, is associated with "open source". :P

Well, any $99 Android tablet really. You get the screen for the price.
Someone puts some electronics in a box and that's newsworthy???
People have low attention span these days. "Cool hacks" are no more about finding how a system really works, but just gluing some modules together.
Many, many things in IT which we use daily are not standardized.

At least I can get way more shit done if I have a context change between leisure and work.
Exactly. If he writes software, I don't see how the 13.3" screen of his MBP wouldn't be enough.
So, what was it?
Pony up for one of those 120Hz gaming LCDs and have fun. I've been considering getting one myself...

Also, that message is perfect when read in Dr. Breen voice. ;)
A TV has also the disadvantage that its stand can usually not tilt, which would often be useful in PC use.
I'm still using my 2048x1536@100hz screen from *ten years ago*. Flatpanels are the worst thing to ever happen to display technology.
Is the image still sharp?

And the Nintendo 64 port is called Duke Nukem 64...

Achievement unlocked: wall of text.
Then we are talking about design decisions. But yes, there is often some overlap.
