  1. Re:Highest bang-per-buck ratio of any SoC on Raspberry Pi Model A Makes First Appearance · · Score: 1

    I really like it. Is there a cheap and open system available with it, like an EOMA-68 with mini-engineering board around it?

  2. Yay! on Raspberry Pi Model A Makes First Appearance · · Score: 1

    A Raspberry pie article! I haven't seen one in days, already had withdrawal symptoms.

    That said, I'm still trying to order one. WTF? They were supposed to be readily available this week.
    After a long time on the waiting list, element14 still gives me the "Real Soon Now!" message.

    Hmm. Has Apple sued for unlicensed use of that iName yet?

    Ah, now we're getting somewhere.

    Hmm, didn't work:

    cls: command not found

    And all the fat people would have known what to blame for their excess mass.

  7. Not too shabby on Qubits Stored at Room Temp For Two Seconds · · Score: 1

    given that DRAMs only store a bit reliably for milliseconds yet are the most common electronic storage.

  8. Re:One good reason... on What's To Love About C? · · Score: 1

    That's the main problem: TIMTOWTDI. The programmer on the team who uses static character arrays and memcpy won't even understand my template code. Yet we both call ourselves C++ programmers.
    Also, C++ has many ways to obfuscate really bad design decisions under an OO veneer. I have seen many class hierarchies that look pretty at the top level but when you drill down the coding horror starts.

  9. Re:because on What's To Love About C? · · Score: 1

    Variables won't;
    Constants aren't.

  10. Re:Pipeline on wheels? on US Energy Transportation Network Gets Multibillion-Dollar Revamp · · Score: 1

    The current state of affairs has managed to keep gas prices down in the US because the crude price is depressed.
    With the pipeline, gas prices will go up because the price of WTI will rise to the same level as Brent.
    So I say don't build the pipeline. All it'll do is increase the profits of the oil producers, at the cost of the consumers.

  11. Re:Great. Where are my cheap solar panels? on US Energy Transportation Network Gets Multibillion-Dollar Revamp · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ah yes, because political propaganda and industrial investment are the same thing, right?

  12. Re:likely the futex issue on Leap Second Bug Causes Crashes · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I saw in the meantime that Firefox and Chrome are affected in the same way.

  13. Re:Linux kernel unable to cope? I think not. on Leap Second Bug Causes Crashes · · Score: 1

    Same here (Debian wheezy) but with Chrome.

  14. What's with Chrome? on Leap Second Bug Causes Crashes · · Score: 1

    On all my Linux systems, Chrome plus some kernel threads pulled 100% CPU until exited Chrome (which worked fine with Shift-Ctrl-Q.)
    On one system Chrome refuses to start now. It restores the tabs but every tab is an "Aw, snap!" page, even if I move the configuration directory away.

  15. Re:What copyright owner on Don't Forget: "Six Strikes" Starts This Weekend · · Score: 1

    Haha. You just looked at that website? Your IP address is now on the special watch list for the P2P scanning companies.

  16. Re:Sounds a little hokey on Is Being In the Same BitTorrent "Swarm" Equal To "Interacting"? · · Score: 1

    It's like saying if you say a number, say 42, and I say the same number, 42, a couple hours later, we must have interacted somehow. How else could we come up with the same number?
    While in fact all there is that we have some bit of common knowledge, like having read Douglas Adams. Or having received a hash.

  17. Re:Does it RAID? on GRUB 2.00 Bootloader Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Yes it does but it's arguable if it makes any sense.
    I prefer two completely separate boot partitions. That way I can still boot from the second drive if I mess up /boot.
    If everything works I can mount /boot2, copy everything over and umount /boot2, manually or in /etc/rc.local.

  18. Re:Assosiation to 1984 on Book Review: Permanent Emergency · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's perfectly in line with The Shock Doctrine. Gotta have your regular shocks. Manufacture them if there aren't any.

  19. Re:It's all very logical see on Book Review: Permanent Emergency · · Score: 2

    There are many who consider the US a fascist nation these days. Yeah there's a veneer of democracy: You get to choose between the two wings of The Party.

    And nobody gets to drive after a bad night of sleep, of if they're worried about something, or after they had an argument with somebody.

    You are against the profits of the big healthcare insurers? You must be a socialist.

  25. Re:So from here on out ... on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 1

    You're free to kill yourself in anyway you choose... if I don't have to pay for it.
    So if you decide to drink soda by the gallon or ride a motorcycle without a helmet, that's fine if you carry a notarized paper with you that tells the EMTs that you do not want any care and that you'd rather be left to die.
