Is it my imagination, or is this also A10-based?

I suspect that this is also based on the A10... they don't mention the SoC, but the features seem the same.

Re: microsoft + Arm

What's more, Sinofsky also notes that PC manufacturers are now working on devices designed specifically for WOA (or Windows on ARM) You know what that means, right? MS have dictated to manufacturers exactly which components have to be on the SoCs... so every company will make a "different"...

I was wondering if it should be possible also to play wma streams Pmusic supports whatever ffmpeg supports, and at the moment it does NOT support wma-streams. WMA streams are called ASF . My Sep. 2009 ffmpeg supports it... ffmpeg -formats 2>&1| grep -i asf DE asf ASF format E asf_stream ASF for...

I brought some of my Habernaro plants inside last year. I learned last fall that they (peppers) are actually perennials, and so.... I've got some "yearlings" already trying to put on flowers. I'm going to get a few more going, and carry them through next winter (breeding stock). I don't g...

Nuclear is actually quite clean. Even from a radioactive emission standpoint, nuclear is cleaner than coal... If it were "clean", Somali fishermen wouldn't be making a career change to piracy. Edit: BTW, using the argument that nuclear is "dirty" because of illegal dumping, I co...

Internal combustion engines are not what I would consider efficient. I meant relatively, having had a century of development to improve them (if you follow science news you'll see that researchers keep coming up all kinds of new materials to improve batteries -- since now they've started investing ...

it's been a while since I walked into a restaurant full of cigarette smoke. It took quite a while, first to disprove the ads stating that smoking was good for your health, and then the propaganda that it was sexy. And that's why it's better to use my "bad manners" argument. I don't care i...

There are more paradoxes, such as farming corn for ethanol, etc., etc. Yes, but that is just because of trying to implement half-arsed, short-sighted "solutions" (just like saying nuclear energy is "clean"). You also have the fact that current electric cars are supposed to cause...

Dougal.. I meant the image as .iso (checked original md5 in puppy), converted to .nrg in windows (md5 posted) and then back to .iso from .nrg (md5 was different to original iso md5 and iso size was some 150B smaller). So something is lost in the conversion to and from somewhere, maybe harmless, I'l...

I made an .nrg image of a slacko iso image in Windows.. it seemed to work ok, then I booted back into Puppy and converted it back from nrg to iso. It mounted ok, but I didn't burn as the md5 did not match the original. The iso size is about 150 bytes out.. smaller.. but I don't know why. Well... ob...

the earth has natural warming and freezing events and these will happen no matter what we do, drastic warming and then an iceage event. I believe it's not just a matter of how soon, but also how drastic it will be. Though the reason people are panicking is obviously because they're afraid of gettin...

No it does not, - I don't even know what a NRG-image is.
Nrg2Iso can be used for that. (This guy also has some useful utils for ISO burning.)
