I have tried looking on ebay a while back, but the ones i saw where around $40-$50, which was more than half the price of the SBC i was looking at iirc. I probably should have kept looking.
Thanks for the advice.

Why no neat plastic cases housign the SBC ?
I know they arent really aimed at consumers, but still, why not have an optional case to give it some pretection and make it look good.
"Google's security research database has after a 90 day timeout automatically undisclosed a Windows 8.1 vulnerability"
"undisclosed
adjective
1. not made known or revealed: an undisclosed sum"
From that description i assume google has a database of recent security vulnerabilities (from the last 90 days).
Vulnerabilities are immediately public information, then after 90 days they are removed from the list as they arent recent, and assumed to be patched ?
OR
Its the opposite and the person writing the description for the story should have said disclosed instead of undisclosed.
(sarcastic comment about reundisclosing the vulnerability so they can redisclose it in another 90 days)
In your economics 101 did they teach you that there ISNT a magical money tree ?
It wouldn't surprise me they'd taught you that in yours, since there's a lot you seem to be missing.
Perhaps you would be so kind as to explain this magical money tree to me, or do i need to send you a cheque to cover your expenses first ?
Overall the economy gains. This is economics 101, you really ought to read a book or take a class about this stuff.....
Thanks, i just need to understand money velocity then my education will be complete. Can i have job as rich banker now.

There very much is net profit, and it can be measured, by subtracting depreciation from the GDP. To put it in simple terms, if an economy builds 500,000 cars in a year, and only 200,000 cars are removed from circulation, than the economy is richer by 300,000 cars.
And whoever exchanged money for those 300,000 extra cars will be have less money, and then there is the argument about perceived value vs real value.
Or, maybe one day our capitallist system will have produce so much net profit that we will all be rich, and nobody will have work ever again !
Profits are what drive capitalism (i.e., a return on capital, by definition). Competition rewards improvements.
Capitalism is a system, not an individual entity. There is no net "profit" over the system as a whole, we just move money around.
Profits can drive an individual corporation to reduce their production costs but it only works if there are reasonably modest profit margins.
If a corporation has a big fat profit margin then they are better of increasing their volume rather than reudcing unit costs.
There are so many labels these days, so many alternative forms of distribution, that the RIAA is crying.
Doesnt matter how many distribution methods there are, their members control copyrights and they have the exclusive rights to decide how each work is distributed.
Competition is what drives capitalism, but copyright is a government granted monopoly, and monopolies over individual works end up collating and creating the cartel.
The cartel is free to charge whatever the market can bear, rather than charge amounts based on cost of production.
They have no incentive to become more cost effictive in the way they do things without compeition, and the only proven effective competition is piracy.
Of course the unfortunate victims are those artists who arent part of the evil cartel, which is almost tragic. But, sometimes you have to break a thing properly before it can be fixed.

Its a lone gunman.
Police arent calling it a terrorism, it wasnt an IS flag being waved, airspace wasnt closed.
But hey, why not use criminal activity to drum commercial media activity.
If you want proper coverage journalism go to ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission), its govenment funded but independently operated.

He did something bad, so now they stop him from doing good.
Imagine the drama if people had to make moral judgements themselves on the nature of a person... better to make it obvious and help them "decide" by preventing the "bad man" from being good.
Have to wonder about societies logic sometimes.
There is no moral decision involved, it is strictly a business one.
And there you have it, i will say no more.
Freedom 0 exists to avoid making a moral choice between good and bad.
If we accept the argument that Free software is used for the purposes of good, then we also have to accept responsibility for some of the bad.
At the end of the day people could choose to use proprietry software for the "bad", they could still do it, but at least in theory it would be expensive for them.
Choosing ignorance is not a moral position.
Now your just trolling...
"they cannot stop you from doing whatever you want with the code", well they can put it in a box with no connections on it and sell the box (e.g TV's), or put it behind a webserver, or deny modified software even exists.
Freedom goes beyond code, what about freedom of speech and the right to privacy. Where would firewalls and surveilence networks be without free software. Or patent protected global ecommerce sites.
Free softare should be about more than software.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
