So does Raspbian for Banana Pi include Minecraft Pi and Mathematica by default? If it does then don't install it and you aren't breaking the EULA. Otherwise then I fail to see a problem.

The banana pi violates at least two EULAs by including Mathematica and Minecraft Pi, both of which say that they may only be run on a Raspberry Pi.
Could you provide some links to something that shows that they are distributing it on the Banana Pi? As far as I can tell they are not. Also, EULA's are for the end user, so that would be whoever purchases the Banana Pi, not the distributor or the device itself. Now, yes they shouldn't be installing it on the device if that means that the end user will be violating a EULA by using it, but that itself is just something minor and easily fixed.

I also can't seem to find the Minecraft Pi EULA.

How may USB peripherals did you attach? Were they powered or did the Banana Pi have to power them?

Do you mean you are dropping Chromium support? O.O Or just making the smileys so they can't be highlighted?
He means making the smileys unselectable.

So does this mean I won't be able to access websites that use the free ssl with my android 2.3 gingerbread phone?
To answer your question:

All browsers will show the error until they finish provisioning SLL certificates. After that only older browsers will show an error, on which you can just tell it to ignore that error forever. Not all browsers let you remember that choice though.

... but you can secure the whole trip ...
CloudFlare is still MITMing the connection and since they are based in the USA, several three letter agencies will probably have access to the traffic.
Of course a bit encryption is better than no encryption, I just hope that nobody seriously thinks this is secure.
You should probably do some reading before you make accusations like that. Also, the concern with SSL encryption is keeping your personal information (like bank accounts, credit cards etc) out of the hands of thieves. It is not to keep it out of the hands of the law enforcement. If you are trying to do that, well
  • Why don't you want the law enforcement to know about what you are doing?
  • The internet is totally the wrong media for that. There are too many ways to trace information over the internet for that to be truly viable.
  • Law enforcement could easily just go to the site you are visiting and request information, that or the hosting provider for the site.

I quite like cloudflare's policies. They will only release information if required by law, and even then they will only release the limited scope of the information without any of the keys that would make all of it accessible. They will also release transparency reports about requests by government agencies and if possible inform users on what of their information was requested by government agencies.

So Cloudflare effectively uses a man-in-the-middle attack to dip into the connection between client and target server, and only encrypts the first part of the route, but to the browser it will look like a valid SSL connection thanks to SNI. In reality, there is no end-to-end encryption whatsoever. It's just a smoke screen, really.
Quote
For a site that did not have SSL before, we will default to our Flexible SSL mode, which means traffic from browsers to CloudFlare will be encrypted, but traffic from CloudFlare to a site's origin server will not. We strongly recommend site owners install a certificate on their web servers so we can encrypt traffic to the origin. Later today we'll be publishing a blog with instructions on how to do that at no cost. Once you've installed a certificate on your web server, you can enable the Full or Strict SSL modes which encrypt origin traffic and provide a higher level of security.
If you want to leave it as only partially secured then you can, but you can secure the whole trip, and half of the trip being secure is better then none of it.

Ok thanks for the info. And I assume when you say it will just prompt you to accept the certificate that it will only do so when using an invalid browser? Otherwise that might get annoying >.< (unless it only happens once for everyone)

https == http via an ssl connection.
To answer other questions about cloudflare these are good articles to read:
I'm not entirely sure if it will ask you to accept the cert or just error. I'd have to test since the articles don't really talk about that.
According to my testing you will just be prompted to accept the certificate.

Still waiting on proper propagation for Omnimaga to make use of this.

I wonder what happens when you ping 127.0.0.1... I never tried it :P
You ping your own machine.
I will exclude reserved addresses from the scan. This includes the entire 127.x.x.x range as well.
Make sure to exclude all IPs in the ranges listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4#Special-use_addresses

Nice to see all the pics. As I said in the Cemetech topic, looks like it was a blast. Maybe next year. :D
That would be awesome :)

The waves on this wallpaper makes me wish I could have an animated wallpaper on my Windows 7 machine. Back in the Windows XP days, it was still possible to have animated wallpapers. :P

It seems that there are ways to still have animated wallpapers
