The brain doesn't have pain receptors.. However it does process sensations from pain..

People who have limb amputations often complain of "Phantom Limb Pain" (Yes.. Its googleable)

So Im glad the flat-line output of these brains does imply no processing, because I gather phantom limb pain is bad, I would hate to think what Phantom Body pain would feel like.

Submission + - SPAM: Raspberry Pi Model 3 B+ is launched 1

stikves writes: The Raspberry foundation has launched an incremental update to the Raspberry Pi 3 model B. In addition to slight increase (200MHz) in CPU speed, and upgraded networking (802.11ac and Gigabit, albeit over USB2), one big advantage is the better thermal management which allows sustained performance over longer load periods.

Linux Flourishes In 200-Year-Old Gold Markets 195

tbarkerload writes "H-Online [a spin off of a major German daily] reports on a gold trader managing over 15 tonnes of gold, worth $660m, with a platform built on open source tech. BullionVault operates a 24-7 electronic market in gold bullion open to both retail and professional traders. Their systems handle thousands of daily transactions from both human traders and bots operating through their API. If Linux has reached the world of hundred year old assaying firms, and Swiss vaults buried in mountains, can final world domination be too far away?"

He did say :- "I've just finished deploying a brand new CentOS/Samba solution ......."... so 18 days is quite good. I don't know about you but when a new system is put in place, I find that there are often tweaks that need to be put into place. I don't know if the 18 days is uptime for the server or for the samba daemons.. but as a techie his post actually indicates to me how simple to configure and stable a solution it is.
