Well, you are responding to somebody who also advocated copy/paste programming...

<t>VGA monitors are really a non-starter with the RPi. If you want a native 1366x768 resolution, you'd need to get a converter from HDMI to VGA (HDMI is basically the same as DVI but with a different connector, so a *digital* DVI->VGA converter box would work as well). Getting ...

<t>Having a purely standalone device is great for a learning environment. There isn't any behind-the-scenes information being loaded in, the state of the system purely reflects what you've done to it. Many will have a machine next to them with internet access for accessing documentation,...

One of the first things I'll do is hook it to a 3840x2400 display via HDMI->DVI adapter. Ubuntu drove it out-of-the-box at full-resolution from a single-link DVI at 12Hz refresh rate.

Any bets on if it'll actually work for the RPi?

<t>I personally thought the AI class with Norvig & Thrun was far worse than the (quite excellent) ML class also being taught, in terms of communication, clarity and general teaching capability. Hopefully Thrun has learned from the various mistakes and does this venture better. It's a...

I'm sure boot-into-programming-environment SD card setups will emerge. That's kind of expected with this sort of thing.

The RPi does have SPI and a UART, not sure if you'll need some sort of buffer chips.

Mind you that these are autonomous external devices with their own commands to control them; you won't be able to just plug them in and have your X display expand onto them.

Any idea on the CPU usage in performing those copies, JamesH?

<t>Assuming I understand the details correctly, there is a single USB2.0 port on the chip. On the Model A, this goes directly to the USB connector. On the Model B, this goes to a built-in USB hub, which splits it out to 3 USB2.0 ports. 2 of these go to the USB connectors, and ...

I doubt Win8/Arm will get anywhere near "monopoly" levels of sales. (At least one would hope)

As a hands-on learning oriented device, turning it into a netbook or laptop should be a good learning experience for you and your kids.

<t>I don't think "wait a while" is quite right here. The impression I get is that you will not, as a user, be able to write custom code on the GPU at all. The APIs exposed to the OS will be what you get. In theory, the foundation or Broadcom could release a OpenCL driver or something, b...

That Cotton Candy is estimated to be "well under $200" when/if it comes out.

I already sent the $1000 clearance fee to Prince Rasperibi of Nigeria, but still haven't received that special order "Modle C" that was being unfairly held there. When can I expect it?

Will the composite output do that horrible crawling checkerboarding for solid reds like every other modern composite-out device seems to do?

foo

<t>I've worked with it a lot, and I call Prolog a procedural language. You still manually control the "program counter" and individual threads, ordering of assertion controls the exact call semantics (and can throw you into infinite loops if you do it wrong), etc. It still technically has the huma...

There's a reason many people call it "feeBay". At these tight margins, I think going through additional routes that take cuts of the sale would hurt a lot.

foo

<t>To my knowledge, nobody has ever built an inexpensive board for public sale with just CPU(+GPGPU), RAM, and networking, with netboot functionality. I know that'd not be the most general market of products, but I'd certainly love it. A cheap compute node, vs the current cheap all-in-on...

<t>I can tell you from first-hand hiring experience that graduates do come out of universities without knowing the general tradeoffs of using linked lists vs arrays. Say what they want about not needing to know the low-level bits, but it gives context to being able to actually _use_ the h...

I'd make a smart spellchecker that can distinguish between possessive and plural forms.

If you get a Model B, a USB wifi, and a USB keyboard with its own built-in hub to plug a mouse directly into it (like the wired Apple keyboards do), that's probably the lowest part- and wiring-count.

500mA is the _minimum_ reliable current that powered USB connections need to provide. Check any USB wall wart you've got hanging around; it probably delivers plenty above that to power the connected peripherals.
