Yes, I don't have an alarm clock or any other clock in my bedroom. Other than for showering (although it is water proof) and doing physical work that which may break my watch I do not take it off. I have had it for 5 years now. It is a Citizen Eco Drive which is battery/solar powered. Very accurate and long lived. Good luck with the long lived part on a smart watch!
I have found that building such systems myself will end up costing a bit more because I cherry pick better components all around when less powerful options would have sufficed. If this is for an office setup and you're the one that's going to end up doing support for them then you'll want to know what's inside. If you can afford it though it would be better to pass this support issue over to someone else that's already doing desktop linux like System76 - Desktops.
It's bad ideas like this that will help propel the Android desktop. Now that Valve is diving into Linux and Nvidia is optimizing for it as well it wouldn't surprise me to see a decent challenge to Windows in the near future. Multiple "app" stores, streamlined gaming, built in virus protection (not that it's _that_ problematic) and familiar with millions of people already using Android on their cellphones. (branding makes a difference in retail)
Which I was able to purchase from Best Buy. (1999-2000ish) They also had SuSe which I went to next. Later on I went to Debian but that was via mail order. I forget what the price was but it was cheap. I gave Mandrake a try there after but went back to Debian. I'm currently using Kubuntu but have decided to go back to Debian again. (or possibly Arch)
My main reason for Ubuntu/Kubuntu was that it just works, mostly, and I have work to do which is more important than trying to get my desktop going to do the work. To me that's the most important part of any distro these days - how much effort will be needed for me to keep working without interruptions.
If you don't have a real keyboard you don't have a real development tool - regardless of the IDE. Sure you can do some programing and you can even use a real keyboard with an ipad - but if your going that far then why not just use a laptop? If portability is an issue then try an ultrabook. The conclusion I have come to though is that most of my development time does not happen while being "mobile" - I'm at a desk somewhere.
Tablets are a media consumption device. Using them for developing software is like pounding a screw into wood with a hammer.
And for some people that's all they want. As long as they keep the UI consistent and stay away from change for the sake of change (ie. ribons) they'll have plenty of happy users.
Would someone please tell me why the hell I have to pick a place to purchase my music from? All I want is a simple mp3 player. I'm not going to purchase a song as a digital download. I'd rather just get the CD and rip what I want and keep the CD around as a backup. Amarok has turned into the jack of all trades and master of none.
I guess I should have been a bit clearer on the ditching - I took it for granted that everyone understood fighter jets wont glide like a cessna when they lose power. The pilots did what they could to minimise the damage that was about to happen. They didn't eject right away and care less about what the jet does next.
Good points made!
I really don't think our well trained pilots would ditch into a populated area so my guess is mechanical failure. (along with gravity and the pilot struggling to keep civilians out of harms way)
All that would do is force Verizon to create a new convenience fee for mailing your payment to them. What Verizon wants is more money and some sort of reason to justify it with their customers.
Yes I think it does say it all for Linux "security".
I'd argue that this was because after taking control the attackers could easily secure/defend the machine and prevent others from taking it over. A C&C machine is a valuable asset for any organization.

Maybe I could live with charging it weekly but on a daily basis? forget it.
It's a stretch but perhaps now that he's gone some common sense might seep in?
Now if they can get Safari and Opera on board it'll be easier to drag Microsoft in kicking and screaming while they go their own way.
It's actually steve.ballmer@gmail.com ;)

Only someone with a vested interest would think it's working great. Seriously.

I don't think there's an app for that. ;)
Yes their patents may not be under FRAND but it looks like they *should* be.

How can we have a Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve without one for Bacon???
Exactly - the money could have been going to the actual GOP candidates!

Amarok is more intended for masochists than it is for smart people. Smart people have moved on to using Clementine ;)
Yeah I'm sure it wasn't either. Such a thing is an elusive animal on KDE it seems.

undoing wrong moderation... actually thought this was what DOTA stood for. (my bad)
