Or maybe the word was subverted after it was chosen to represent this concept? Not saying it was the case (I don't know) just mentioning the possibility.

This whole article is full of misunderstandings and blatant mistakes. Hurried writing on between conf sessions?

Will we be able to install Node on those?

Smoke detectors contain highly toxic Americum 241 isotope. It's not that hard to remove it from the ionization chamber.

Most people on Earth can't afford a home.

I'd invest in that

Seems to me that if you use compressed air to displace water within the sphere, you could actually store more energy this way... That would require the air to drive electric generators when the sphere is being filled with water though.

Raspberry's firmware is not Open Source, that's why. Might just as well full of vulnerabilities and/or backdoors.

It does (also redux), and their repo also contains a lot of useful reading material

What's interesting is that the author apparently has a QUERTY keyboard layout...

Here's my simple project utilizing leaflet (1.0-RC1 actually) to display a procedurally generated infinite heightmap.

There's a link to a demo, but the machine it's running on is not really powerful, so expect poor experience. You'll do a lot better downloading and running the code on your own.

Personally I think it should be great for such use, especially with some improvements version 1.0 has (like the crs-simple) you mention. You will have to split your PNG image into tiles though, and ideally have different zoom levels available too (leaflet won't do that for you, but there are tools floating around)

Regarding #1, I'm assuming my own good faith in this :)

#3 in the second clause is indeed tricky, but I suppose it could be worded in legally unambigous way. And anyway I always assumed the dealine in #2 would be no more than three years in the future since the software is first published under these terms.

I also had a similar kind of license in mind. My idea was: the software becomes lincensed under an open source license once any one of these happens:

1. I earn x amount of money out of my work

2. It's n seconds since EPOCH

3. I am pronounced dead by a qualified proffesional or nobody has heard from me for m years.

Does the fear result from Monsanto actually suing them or from anti-GMO propaganda?

Git already has `git branch` which doesn't in fact do any kind of branching but creates a label which follows commits when it's checked out.

Gasp!

Could we be... just a means for mold to spread across the universe?

I = V/R

So once the voltage is applied to your body, the higher it is, the more current flows through you

(Some assumptions about source of electricity made)

Here's a discussion about such an article:

What exactly is the difference between 'speeding' and 'very high speed'?

So...

Tesla and Faraday are in electric car business now... It seems to me Siemens should look into this market as well

When it becomes routeine all clients get a discount as price per launch goes down.

Con: I can't use a charger I made on my own.

Actually it is a safeguard against the TSA

The one about classes is solved by not using classes. Prototypal inheritance works well (and besides, most implementations of 'class-like' behaviour are using prototypes underneath anyway)

I'm playing a bit of a devil's advocate here ;)

Why would you want anything else?

Ok, so it's awesome and stuff, but for me the most important thing is the discovery of the NewRetroWave music!

People at /r/spacex claim it might be actually not CRS-7 debris, but from some earlier flight

Here are some articles in this subject: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/tag/developing-world/

Not saying it proves or disproves anything. I'm also interested in this aspect of cheap-o-computing
