Hey, that's more like it. But I'm not a big Robby Roto fan. How about using local roms?

There's all this bickering in this thread along the usual lines of programming nuances and security blah blah blah which is fine and good but how about for the people who just want to see how this thing does with a few of their favorite ROMs?

Anybody actually have this installed (preferably on a GNU-Linux installation) and care to point out how they went about it?

That was what pissed me off. But yeah, this is old news.

Hell I think dynamic DNS should be a basic function of the net. That's how it was supposed to go. What is this Facebook shit. We're supposed to have our own servers. Indeed, back in the day it was actually originally set up where you directly applied for a class C IP range. That was a perfectly reasonable premise. It's interesting how far we've gotten away from that rather simple concept.

You can indeed die from heroin withdrawl. For a heavy user going cold turkey it's normal to experience extremely elevated blood pressure that can directly result in death especially when there are aggravating factors which is common in people living off a substance that can only be obtained in a black market economy of questionable purity injecting the drug with recycled syringes. You bet they can have complicating conditions before they go cold turkey under those circumstances. Circulatory problems are not a rare thing for junkies by any means. Totally collapsed veins are not unusual at all. When you couple those circumstances with an intense extended period of extremely elevated blood pressure it can result in death.

Having said that, the far more common cause of death for a heroin user going cold turkey is not a direct result of the withdrawl symptoms but an overdose in an effort to control the symptoms of withdrawl. That's pretty much the classic OD scenario. Saying that you can't die from quitting heroin seems to be a bit overly simplistic given that fact.

This is a bus that is growing rapidly in the automotive industry and is also popular in vending machines. There's an element of structure built into the network level to enhance safety as it's an automotive standard.

There has been an open source home automation system based on it for several years.

Yeah, here it is:

Moblin is limited to Intel video drivers and that means it is very limited in regards to 3D. This is an intentional move on Intel's part in order to enforce product category distinctions.

Tens of millions? It's more than that by far. The financial relationship between school districts and Microsoft is immense.

The very notion on free software is under constant attack day in and day out in the school precisely because the school administrations are already so bought out.

The only reason Microsoft even exists is because of their insistence that everybody owes them something.

How does Microsoft beat Linux in schools? The answers are vast. But what is partly missing in the analysis is the fact that the education "market" is not isolated to the United States. These are global issues in the here and now.
