Ever seen a mining site for Aluminum?, Copper,? Ever see how much fuel a glass factory uses?
Everything has waste including Wind and Solar.

Actually if you look at even GOV statistics they do not list Hydro as a renewable. I also find this dumb. I also think that Nuclear should be listed as "clean" but the greens would never stand for it.

I was thinking of using it as a stereo system.
Add Bluetooth for streaming from mobile devices and streaming to BT speakers. Wifi for Streaming from the Web or a NAS, Audio in for other devices and a Line out to go to an amp or speaker system.

Sometimes you are invading to defend a friendly nation. See D-Day, and Incheon.
Other times you are bringing large amounts of help to a nation see Haiti after the earthquake.
Also it probably is not that expensive.

Doesn't this seem like something from Yes Minister or Yes Prime Minister. A "spaceport" in Scotland...

I would still like to see a line in.

Not exactly. Yes you do have nutcase audiophiles that must use virgin gold connectors with natural rubber insulation made by Buddhist nuns under a full moon.
But there is a big difference between a good set of speakers and the $5 speakers you get with your new PC.
When I plug my headphones in on my workstation I get a hiss I can hear when no sound is playing and the sound is just not that good. It does not need to by since I am usually just listening to NPR shows.

Yep I want to stop for the night at 7 pm where are the hotels you can stay at and here are some places to eat...

One word.
Debugger.
Compilers are actually easy to come by today. Debugging is where you run into issues.

Mobile, Routers, NAS, and now servers. ARM is getting very big very quickly.
In computers Attacks come from the bottom up. PC where a joke and could not hold a candle to a real computer like a PDP-11! Forget about mainframes like the 370!
It was not HURD at the time but GNU Unix that was going to be the next big thing.
It wasn't but hey no one is perfect.

You'd at least capitalize it as "Vrije Universiteit", because it's a proper noun* and those are capitalized (in either English or Dutch).

*Not just a free university, but the Free University.

And Liberty University is already taken.

Liberty University is called that instead of "Free University" because it is neither free-as-in-beer nor free-as-in-speech. It teaches the religion of Capitalism and the legal principles of the Bible.

X86 has gone away. Everyone is using X86-64 and Arm. I would be more Unix like systems are ARM than X86 or X86-64.. So is AMD64 X86-64 orX86/64? I can never remember.

Except he was right in 1992.
He just underestimated the growth in speed and power of a PC. On a 386 with 4 megs of memory and a single slow hard drive he was right.

Simple native development can be a lot easier than cross development.
If you have the money for some really good embedded tools, cross development is not bad at all. But if not native development is a lot simpler.
I would still do most of my work on an X86 Linux box and then move the project over to the embedded for testing but that is just me.
