I'm with you on this point, "architecting" is an offence to the English language. In fact /. is highlighting the word as incorrect in the bloody editor.

I've had loads fail, ignore the brand, they're all made in the same factory & stamped with a different name.

Typical, mention a fictional character & get upvoted.

No. Lazy fucker!

Didn't get upset, just love trolling /. Loop: See Loop. CRC fail.

Modded "troll" Heh. Giving mod points to 13 year old children was never going to work. Luckily my Karma is "huge"

Bliss. When I started, you'd write your programme, send it - by sodding post - wait for the punch card operators to type it in. Then you would have to go through all the cards to make sure one had not *become* transposed, then submit & wait for the output. Could take a week. You iPad bods are lucky.........

Comprehension not your strong point then?

You been "polishing" your Bell End?

Your point is?

Stating the bleeding obvious is not making a statement at all.

It merely shows your educational lacking and, frankly, idiocy.

You, on the other hand, have obviously never had a girlfriend.

Reckon you bat for the other side you pooftah.

OP said there are faster & cheaper boards available, which is undeniably true, the article specifically says it's about the community & the provision of support for school children (Kids are the spawn of goats) which makes the Pi a better tool for school children, due to the community support - for teaching programming.

The Arduino may well be cheaper; but the point's moot.

I'm 54 this year. I love playing with my Pi.

But then it's more powerful than the Minicomputers I started on in the late 70's

I think Whoosh applies here for you.
It's not about the sodding hardware, or cost of said hardware. !!

Are we speaking the same language?
