With such a clue even I found the answer...But as usual - left if for you
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Thanks to Griff's clue I think I know the answer, but I would never be able to set another one tomorrow.

I've got it from Griff's response too.
Not planning on being anywhere near a computer tomorrow though.

OK then for the fact that I can finally say I got one of these things my answer is Androids
A partial solution would be:
return on investment: ROI
x86 register: DS
for these robots droids
If its correct I definitely can't set another one, I only got it because of OG's clue so I vote he does tomorrows one.
|
|
|
|
|
That is the correct answer - I'd say you should at least give it a go for tomorrow?
The only bit missing was AND which comes from "Also"...
|
|
|
|
|
OK then I will set one for tomorrow but I will need a clue from OriginalGriff first.

To be slightly mathematical, this is a measure of trend rather than popularity, so what they look at is the delta not the value -
Cat searches: 2014=1e20 & 2014=1e20, δ=1.0
Sean's Mankini: 2014=1e6 & 2014=1.2e6, δ=1.2 *
So Sean's Mankini scores higher for trending.
* figures based on 10% of Codeproject users checking what they've let themselves in for

You don't have to search for cat videos, cat videos find you whether you want to see the bloody things or not.

Indeed, or the other thing that people search for. If you actually want to see either then you usually know where to go without any aid from Google ... er ... I'm led to believe.

Just wondering if any regulars here have one, and if so which particular model would you recommend today? Thank you.

The B+ has been replaced by the Raspberry Pi 2 hasn't it?
On the phone so didn't follow your link.
I got a couple of Pi 2's yesterday. Not had time to do anything yet. 1GB of RAM and a 900MHz cpu. 4 USB as well.

Yeah, the naming has been rather confusing. Amazon has the Pi 2 for about 40 bucks. The Pi 2 with Win 10 IOT pack is about $160 though. Not sure if all the extras are worth it though.

Can't you just buy the Pi 2 and the go here[^] to the get the IoT sh*t for free?

An IOT pack (such as this one[^]) includes additional hardware: case, power supply, breadboard, jumpers, sensors, LEDs, etc.

I've got one of the original Pi gathering dust somewhere. RS took so long to ship it, my attention had already wandered elsewhere by the time it finally arrived. I did set up XBMC on it for some time, but it was too painfully unresponsive to be really useful.
I'd like to get my hands on one of these[^] to try out Windows IoT Core
or a Raspberry Pi Zero[^].

To be clear, the long delivery times were because the manufacturers couldn't make them fast enough to keep up with the high demand.
I don't know which model you had, but I have a (type 1) model B, and it runs various distributions of XBMC/Kodi (i.e. Xbian, OpenELEC or OSMC) just fine. It is very slow updating the catalogue, though, so I don't have it do that at startup. It was annoyingly slow to respond to user input for a while, but I updated to a new version of Xbian and that sorted it.

I got an RPi (model B, I guess - the one with the ethernet connection). It used to sit next to the printer, acting as print server for the old USB printer.
Now that we got an ethernet printer the pi is merely used as the place where the scanned PDFs go before someone takes them off there to store them in their folder.
Today I'd recommend the Pi 2, as SW for it can be developed using VS.
