Not true.
> A 2014 study which looked at the same issue found that 2-megawatt wind turbines installed in Northwest USA paid for themselves in 5-6 months.
> A 2010 analysis of fifty separate studies found that the average wind turbine, over the course of its operational life, generated 20 times more energy than it took to produce. This level was “favourable” in comparison to fossil fuels, nuclear and solar power.

This sounds like a great setup. Never heard of PineTab before - is the CPU powerful enough for live video encoding?

This sounds like a bummer. I want to try this anyways to give my old Powershot a new purpose.
Did anybody check this out yet?
> The Dead Sea Scrolls are ancient Jewish religious manuscripts that were found in the Qumran Caves in the Judaean Desert, near Ein Feshkha on the northern shore of the Dead Sea in the West Bank. Scholarly consensus dates these scrolls from the last three centuries BCE and the first century CE.

Planning Poker is a well known term in the agile development / scrum world. If you don't do scrum, you're probably not in the target group.

It seems this is currently not possible. Would also be important to me.
Totally. We just ran into this issue. Running npm install inside a linux vm resulted in an endless loop, because the nfs mapping created path names that exceeded the length limit.
Gotthard Tunnel
The Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT) is a railway tunnel through the Alps in Switzerland expected to open on 2 June 2016.

Bay Bridge
The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge (known locally as the Bay Bridge) is a complex of bridges spanning San Francisco Bay in California.
- Length: 4.46 miles

I wonder how this will impact the resell prices of the former models.
Reminds me of another project visualizing wifi signals:
> This project explores the invisible terrain of WiFi networks in urban spaces by light painting signal strength in long-exposure photographs.
> A four-metre long measuring rod with 80 points of light reveals cross-sections through WiFi networks using a photographic technique called light-painting.
