Consider adding "print server" to your list. Mine does pretty good with my Brother HL-1240 on the USB.

$150 to replace a a fried unit? You miss the #1 selling point of the RPi: it's easy to replace. Never mind the on-board features. It's the price. Any "competition" that can't approach that, is in a different market niche, and isn't really competition.

You forgot to include "at a similar price point." Because, despite all the hoopla about its other features, that is the biggest selling point of the RPi: it's easy to replace a fried unit after a voltage calculation mis-places a decimal point.

The bird of paradise comes pretty close.

The onboard computer stopped working properly, causing systemic error conditions. The engine block ended up cracked, and the brake liners overheated and glazed. The windows wouuld only roll down. Replacing the compute module won't do any good in this case. It's time to total this one out and move on.

Oh, wait, the camel already beat them to it.

Because this really does look like a corporation bent on its own destruction.

Because TCP is a separate driver, and tracks the TCP connections on its own. And in ISO-speak, TCP is in the Session layer, not the Network layer.

There are ways to do it without parading your "charitable attitude" in front of the world. "Don't let your right hand know what your left hand is doing," but in Bono's case, his right hand knows, and so do all of ours, whether we want to or not.

So you'll just accuse me of being "jealous." If having his resources goes hand-n-hand with being such an arrogant ass, I have no reason to envy him.

The country's in the very best of hands.

If you think Vladimir Putin cares how many people know about this guy, you are sadly mistaken. Look how long Pussy Riot members were imprisoned. The only thing Putin cares about is showing people how powerful he is.

We were talking about you, not me.

Terror groups have been thinking that way since long before GWB uttered the words. He didn't create that mindset; he merely pointed it out.

It's one thing to read a clinical description of a concussion, or read a description of the experience written by someone who has experienced it. It is something quite different to experience a concussion yourself. No verbal content can convey the depth and breadth of the misery.
