What happens when admins get confused and pour the contents of their beverage containers into their servers?

Not to mention the (optional) DRM Google provides for Android apps.

You mean those guys that package up the works of others with absolutely no attribution, specifically a complete lack of GPL compliance? Charming.

Why not get a better supported, free CM10.1 from here.

That's a load of crap. They share the antenna with an antenna switch on the module. The reason it sucks is likely due to lack of calibration being done for the BT side of the controller.

"empty" means that the SoC's bootrom can't find a valid 2nd stage loader. For Sitara that's either a bootloader header near the beginning of flash or a file named "MLO" on the first FAT partition that has a valid header.

The BeagleBone's SoC can boot from microSD as well as from USB device and serial. The chip gets configured by straps as to what devices to boot and in which order to try booting them, much like a PC BIOS. It's nigh-unbrickable.

To be fair most people that need that serial port either are interfacing with 3.3V logic or have a pile of 3.3V->USB serial converters in their junk box. At least the BeagleBone follows the FTDI convention so that many of the off-the-shelf converters will Just Work, unlike the competition.

I had jello today.

The later models had drains for funneling your coffee spit-takes out the bottom instead of in the mechanism or electronics. And of course they can also double as an impromptu assault weapon.

IBM hasn't built a good keyboard since 1991 when they spun off Lexmark.

Then your company is guilty of letting this engineer work in a bubble. He wasn't being held accountable for his process and designs (which while maybe robust they don't sound marketable). How did he get that far without a design review?

Yes you can. Now pay up.

Level 1 is when they put on the Peril Sensitive Sunglasses.

Say you had a VW Microbus, and the insides of the windows are permanently fogged with antifreeze from a leaky heater core. You lend your friend Eddie the Microbus for a few days, but before he picks it up you write "frist psot" on the front passenger window. After a day of driving it, Eddie loans it to his pal Joe to move a couch, but before he gives it up he writes "hot grits" on the back window. Joe adds "STFU noob" to the windshield, but before he has a chance to move the couch, his grandma needs to borrow the Microbus to get to a bingo tournament. This goes on and on for years. Eventually you get your car back, with every window covered in messages.

Now imagine there are hundreds of thousands of VW Microbuses in your pants. This is what's happening in Cuba.
