Have a look at m0n0wall. It's based on FreeBSD and is configured using a PHP web GUI to configure the NICs and firewall.

Back in the day I used is as a wireless access point running on a Pentium 1 system with 48 MB RAM, booting off a 16MB compact flash card.

Really?

Most of us have home computers to format our job applications. I don't have a home printer, but I haven't printed a job application for nearly a decade; they have all been electronic submissions. Also, I use a personal email account and mobile phone rather than my current employer's when applying for a new job. It's easy and sensible to keep job applications separate from employer's equipment.

These days I'm getting contacted by via LinkedIn about job offers even though I'm not looking. The lack of privacy with LinkedIn is a concern.

He was not talking about morals in abstract, but "moral rights" - a term that refers to specific provisions of copyright law in some countries. The name exists to separate the concepts from from the "economic rights" of copyright which may be bought and sold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights In this case the copyright ownership appears to be with the employer since it was a work for hire. If the author was in a jurisdiction with "moral rights" provisions in copyright law he would likely have the legal right to be known as the author despite the fact he had sold the economic rights to the software.

to Google Glass, but it will never adapt to privately owned drones.

Things have changed since the 1980s Ouya insist on the game having a free-to-play aspect which should offer consumers some protection against crap. With digital distribution it's easy to offer a wide variety of price points. Steam seem to be doing well selling low cost indie games alongside the premium titles. There's also internet reviews, forums and rating systems that can help consumers find the nuggets they are looking for.

Passive cooling isn't the right terminology. CPU heat sinks in most severs these days don't have fans attached either. They rely on the much more powerful case fans in servers and the better optimised airflow. These GPU cards will work the same way. The servers will not be quiet.

Sure. The Nokia Lumina 800 and 710 didn't exist prior to Q4, neither did the HTC Titan, Samsung Focus and many others.

See this classic Blackadder scene for usage of the word winkle.

I imagine she would sue Google Australia. "Google Australia Pty Limited is a foreign owned proprietary company that provides advertising services relating to its web search engine in Australia. The company is wholly owned by Google Inc, a multinational corporation based in the United States. Google Australia employs approximately 430 staff and is headquartered in Pyrmont, New South Wales."

If the Australian courts did impose judgements against Google, it would be based on laws rather than moral standards.

If Google becomes successful with this, the real test will be whether they offer their competitors equal access to their network.

The 8GB Nexus 7 is $199 USD in the US and $249 AUD in Australia. The 16 GB model is $50 more in each currency. The Australian price probably includes 10 % GST whereas the US price probably doesn't include sales tax. Assuming a 1:1 exchange rate (which I would be given the current trend) the markup is only 14%. That's not bad given the higher costs of operating a business in Australia.

The Zotac Nano series are small versatile computers that can run linux. I have one as my media centre.

If poorly planned, poorly funded, poorly implmented projects got you into the current mess, why do you expect the same process to get you out of it?

That's the question I always ask. If they insist I point out the future support issues the half-assed hack will create in the future and get their acknowledgement in writing. Then I roll up my sleeves and implement it (hoping I won't be around in the future when it goes pear-shaped and counting the paid overtime I'm getting).

Maize is an English word. The word corn can refer to a number of things in English. These days it normally means maize, but it was traditionally used to refer to cereal grains grown in England such as wheat, barley, rye and oats. The compound word barleycorn means "a grain of barley", not "a mixture of barley and maize".
