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?
> The camera sends the image used for Live View - the dimensions will not match the camera's movie recording settings.

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?

This is really cool! How many votings are included in the free version? That would be interesting to know before we can test it in our team.

Sidenote: Planning poker is a registered trademark [1]. I hope you don't run into any legal issues.

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.

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.
