 		 #187109 - Web browsing normally the most power-hungry you can do
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Would I, running heavy compiles of ARM code, buy the cheapie?, of couse not, but try running Keil on a Mac.

"Heavy compiles" are probably the lightest things I do with my computer.
Browsing the net is way more power-hungry, than compiling source code unless we are talking of full rebuilds of millions of code lines.

But yes - I have set up a number of machines with processors in that size range. I have a server with a similar AMD processor - very little money gave it 8GB of RAM and a second gbit NIC, allowing it magnificent performance.

has linux had its chips?            01/01/70 00:00      
   some weirdo in sandals a ponytail            01/01/70 00:00      
      Problem is            01/01/70 00:00      
      possibly, but not only            01/01/70 00:00      
      It's all in the history ... and "read the code" doesn't work            01/01/70 00:00      
         Good points!            01/01/70 00:00      
            Why not a firm objective?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Lots of projects have a large percentage research            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I knew you'd have to come in with something irrelevant            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Try document an invention before it's invented...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Here's some research for you, Per            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Richard to give an example            01/01/70 00:00      
                              I'd like YOU, Erik, to come up with one example ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Always prejudice from Richard            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 'documenting' means many things            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 here we go again            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    when you're wrong, you're wrong            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       I do not have a microscope and probes that small            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          So you've made no observations ... you just guessed ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             and that irks you immensely            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                What did you do, aside from guessing?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   then please, tell me            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      Are you willing to explore this in detail?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         now you are jumping            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Your references aren't exactly backing your view            01/01/70 00:00      
                              It's not about me ... it's about process            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 But processes contains feedback loops            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    I believe you've gone off-the-rails, Per            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       But getty isn't Linux            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          it's a small piece, but it's an example            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             But not of Linux            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                It was part of the distribution.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 'Research' can mean many things            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Yes, but that's in a different context            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       You still haven't told what Linux documentation you miss            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          I don't know what you mean            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             Still claims based on assumptions and not facts            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                Not everyone is completely stupid            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   But what is the relevance today?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      I've no opinion about the current LINUX            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         and, you Richard, who loves living in the past            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                            just a minute, Erik            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               Examples?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  Nothing has changed since 15 years ago ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     at least not Richards opinions :)            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     Still lots of assumptions and unbacked claims            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Oh, Richard, I have a job for you            01/01/70 00:00      
                           I had Yourdons first book as manuscript and ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                              be careful ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 were you once a bartender ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    You have to accept the difference ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 We are careful            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Hog Wash.....            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Odd that you see it that way ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I just documented fully            01/01/70 00:00      
               Because an "Objective" is not a final product specification            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I have to disagree ... the objective specification is step 1            01/01/70 00:00      
            documentation            01/01/70 00:00      
               Definitely not the "usual response"            01/01/70 00:00      
   Android            01/01/70 00:00      
      I don't think so            01/01/70 00:00      
         Don't agree            01/01/70 00:00      
      all due respect, no.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Apple may have a price match on the superluxourious            01/01/70 00:00      
            re: Apple may have a price match on the superluxourious            01/01/70 00:00      
               but 95% of the population does not need....            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Web browsing normally the most power-hungry you can do            01/01/70 00:00      
                  re: 95%            01/01/70 00:00      
               So how exactly am I wrong?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  But Android is Linux            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Just the opposite            01/01/70 00:00      
                        {sigh}            01/01/70 00:00      
                           just like the preacher said to the atheist            01/01/70 00:00      
                  re: How exactly?            01/01/70 00:00

      These guys...            01/01/70 00:00      
         digital audio consoles            01/01/70 00:00      
   The Rasperry Pi Foundation clearly doesn't think so!            01/01/70 00:00      
      The world isn't just a few companies            01/01/70 00:00      
   the basic problem with free software is...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Careful with the use of "Linux". Most things "Linux" aren't!            01/01/70 00:00      
         I did refer to linux itself            01/01/70 00:00      
            Wrong hw selected, or just big lack of platform knowledge?            01/01/70 00:00      
               a port            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Always danger with low-level code for platform            01/01/70 00:00      
      True - but "paid-for" is not necessarily any better!            01/01/70 00:00      
         when selecting any tool            01/01/70 00:00      
      As Stallman said.....            01/01/70 00:00      
         free            01/01/70 00:00      
            All about volume or already existing knowledge/experience            01/01/70 00:00
