What happens when we run out of super-hero costume words?

Shield
Cape
Boost Pack

Whats next?  Utility belt? Spandex pants? Is there a special name for when you wear underwear on the outside? Spanks?

Stellaris LaunchPad and boostpacks?

I cannot understand.
It is a microcontroller board or a space station?

It runs at 80 Mhz has a FPU and 12 bit 1MS ADCs ....
thus it outperforms any early space station and hence, I would say...
yes it could be a space station ;)

As for new names... as soon as the superhero names run out, we can
switch over to other languages.
I can contribute

Erweiterungskartensteckplatz ( I know you love the concatenation in
the German language ;) )

guess the others might have good names too.

I must remember to suggest to Massimo Banzi to be less humble in giving names to Arduino boards.
After Arduino Uno and Arduino Due, the next might be called something like: "Arduino HyperMegaCosmicKickAssPizzaPepperoni"

You can't compare a pizza to a space station, that's ridiculous.
At least add bacon in there somewhere. (Hey, how come there's no bacon
pizza, anyway?)

1. The worldwide turnover of the business connected with pizzerias, exceed a thousand times that of space stations.
2. We can have "prosciutto crudo" at reasonable prices :)

Hmmm totally OT but talking about Pizzas, if I am right there are at
least 2 Italiens at THS and there was not a single Italien cuisine
cooking class :D

Eventually we will have something like:

"This Launchpad with Boost-pack comes with a Utility-Belt battery pack and solar panel.
It is wrapped in a HardHaT for fending off bumps and scrapes.
The added HUD makes interaction fun (includes Cloaked-Touch interface).
It runs on Ice-Cream Sandwich, and has built in Telepathy wifi.
For an additional fee, a Dagger Kit may be added to gain more IO."

Ohhh MRE,

give some love to Akiba,
there should be at least once the word FREAK<something> in the description....
e,g, double-Freak-punch board
or Freakbrain-Interface
or Freak-track-RF-hot-nano-spot
or or or

A-ha... nice name "itAlien" :)

A course in Italian cooking is too complicated... but I can teach how to make some excellent "italian ragù" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragù) using only Japanese products and a couple of hacks to do everything faster. :D
