Too many links... no intro telling me what this is. For those who want to know... it is a PCMCIA (PC-card) sized integrated computer designed to compete with the Raspberry Pi... supposedly cheaper and faster. Raspberry Pi does have one major advantage though: it is in production and shipping whereas this is still in the schematics stages. So... nothing to see here... http://www.bollywudfunda.com/2012/08/crispy-tauntaun-epic-meal-time.html

This isn't anti-Apple bullshit, it's the truth: from the MacPorts FAQ: Will my MacPorts install continue to work after installing a new major OS release or migrating to a new machine with a different CPU architecture? In general the answer is no. See Migration for how to get things working again. http://www.bollywudfunda.com/2012/08/milun-kya-juda-reh-rahe-hain-bewafai.html

I do not know if, given my current line work, I would enjoy assembling high-tech stuff more than that (and would definitely learn more from it), but, overall, I, personally, did not mind at all, it was an excuse to live outside the control of our parents (for those of us who did not go to school in another city/lived in dorm which was less common than in this country), get as drunk as our farmer hosts, shmooze with girls, etc. ;-) As to actual work -- my buddies and myself self-organized to proclaim that we are going to do actual "hard" work, loading bags of potato on trucks, while the rest do "easy" part, pick and load the bags... Of course it would take much more actual time to fill a bag than to throw it into the truck, the rest we spent hanging out and baking potatoes! http://www.bollywudfunda.com/2012/08/athletics-mens-decathlon-1500m-full.html

I would never submit to this unless I was required to -- this is a fishing expedition. Anybody who submits is probably innocent, and anybody who refuses is going to be treated as if they're guilty with something to hide. Yes, this is terrible. But asking everyone to submit exclusionary DNA because they've ran out of places to look ... well, I find that to be a really scary precedent. The next step of course would be to just simply have everyone's DNA on file just in case they ever needed it. http://www.bollywudfunda.com/2012/08/athletics-mens-200m-final-jamaica-gold.html

The DMCA will probably never be overturned in the US, there is too much industry money behind it, and we know what feeds the political machine in the US. If some third-party copyright trollbot interferes with the legitimate viewing of a webcast event, there has to be a law firm somewhere that, for the notoriety alone, would be willing to file a class action suit alleging damages of inconvenience and anguish on the behalf of thousands of viewers. Moreover, the broadcaster could sue for the costs of their broadcast that was interfered with. It costs real money to do a good quality webcast, trolls should be on the hook for diluting the value of a broadcaster's investment. http://www.bollywudfunda.com/2012/09/adaalat-kdpathak-fights-case-for-senior.html
