Re: suitable IDE

I think the answer for the intended audience is somewhere between a command line and a full blown eclipse type idea, maybe something like the old MS Quick C interface that came with their DOS C Compilers

Re: Restore/Backup of SD by RPi itself

<t>You"re asking the raspi to do a neat little trick that PC"s have trouble with - producing a complete image backup of itself in one shot. Better to break the problem into 3 - base os+config, apps, data. The raspi itself can easily do the 2nd and 3rd using linux backup apps. The 1st one is more tri...

Re: webOS Governance Model and HP webOS 3.0.5 SDK

I have a Touchpad running WebS 3.0.5 and quite frankly its a rubbish OS. Its GUI is inconsistent and hard to work with, and there"s no Apps, command line accesses poor too. And this view is from someone who works for the vendor. Don"t go there. Stick with Linux distros.
