Emphasis on 'should'. Will it happen? Most likely the answer is 'no'.

...not to mention actual convictions afterwards...

Hahahahahahaha...

You're so cute when you're naive :D

I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't trust coincidences.

$0.10 if you can name the origin of the quote :D

There are many scientific theories that have not be proven completely. You know what? It doesn't matter. This is not how science works. If we ever have a better theory, it will replace the old one. The good thing about scientific theories is that they can offer workable models that help to explain the world in very useful ways. You know, like Newton's laws. We know now that they are only valid under specific circumstances, and we have better and more complex theories now. But that doesn't mean the old ones were useless.

Your attempt to discredit Evolution by tagging it a theory is sad and only shows you have no idea how science actually works.

Jewish myth? No. The kind of Creationism we're facing here ("young earth creationism") is the brain child of some select American Christians. Most Jewish religious leaders have understood and accepted the validity of evolution as early as the 19th century.

No. The problem with creationism isn't that it's idiotic science, the problem is that it is not science at all but religion. If you teach that instead of or in addition to the scientific theory of evolution, I might as well demand that they teach my personal theory that the earth is really just a ball of smeg on someone's wiener.

Seriously, what's up with that headline? What's next? Here are some possible candidates:

• - 10 images of cheese that will totally blow your mind
• - News about Windows 10 that will change your life forever
• - 10 things you always wanted to know about systemd but never dared to ask
• - This man has installed Ubuntu and survived!
• - Submitting news to slashdot will never be the same after you read this random drivel!

If you just want toy around with such a chip, making your own PCB almost definitely makes no sense. Get an EVA board, one of the many that will feature this chip, and use that. Hook up your own custom hardware with your own custom PCB to it using SPI, GPIO, I2C. Done. Trying to solder such a complex monster of a chip as well as the other chips you'll need (RAM etc) onto a eurocard PCB just doesn't make sense.

Here in Germany this is actually standard practice. If the cops beat you senseless during a political rally and they had no good reason for it, they'll indict you for a number of crimes, just to have leverage against you so they can stop you from pressing charges of your own. This'll usually include resisting arrest, breach of the peace, attacking policemen on duty etc. You will not usually be convicted of any of this, but they use it as leverage to force you to drop or not even raise your charges, and to sway public opinion their way. And you know what? It works.

But then, that was your point, right? Abiding the law is not enough. You have to be a worm and squirm before your masters, anticipating their whims and desires. No wonder the world is going to hell in a handbasket with sheeples like you.

Should have your name changed to Blockwart!

Hate to burst your bubble but if we're really talking about embedding networking tech into household appliances and wearables and stuff, issues like energy efficiency suddenly come into play. Then it does matter what kind of hardware your software is supposed to run on, and how much space that hardware has. Without a doubt, a microPIC will use far less power than your SoC which probably gobbles up 2-5 watts doing absolutely nothing.

I have a drip coffee machine with a programmable timer. I just prepare everything and have a (couple of) perfect cup(s) in the morning for me and the missus \o/
