Such a shape is actively against keeping anything on top of it. While the Q is not meant to be a rack, but it is strongly anti-user to deliberately prevent keeping of small things on it. Surely a negative.
Would you rather have a new version of the OS, with all but say, one or two features (that your hardware wouldn't support, or support well enough to be useful), or what you have now; which is NO NEW VERSION AT ALL?
Microsoft was "winning" so it could afford to do set "standards". Currently, there are many alternatives to "smartphone" buyers (iPhone a big one, WP7/8, blackberry and smaller players not completely out either).
What example do you have of a company succeeding by setting "standards" where around 50% market including most of the high end, high margin market, is owned by a different company and there are 2 other largeish companies with anywhere between 2-10 % market depending on who you believe?
New videos on YouTube stay new (top 100) for 5 milliseconds so I don't see how that helps.
Related is done much better on WordPress and blogger, being more pure text so easy to analyze. I have seen this in both, not sure how to enable / disable this feature.
I have removed Google maps, default messaging application, and Motorola 's battery manager module from my Attic when it was at froyo(2.2), stock Tom. Didn't result in any nasty issues except I couldn't see what used the battery since last charge.
You could also install droidwall and take away network connectivity from these offending applications.
"Processing" into PCI-Express (or a future variant of it) is too latency inducing. So CPU, FPU and GPU all should be part of same chip, talking to other subsystems using system-bus. Bandwidth of this system-bus would need to be expanded to accommodate higher speeds and integration of FPU.
PCI-Express and variants can be used for I/O - e.g. network and storage. Network already fits in PCI-Express, storage would also need to increasingly become low latency, so better fit into PCI-express or variants.
So, tell me what's wrong with being jaded and underestimating the inevitability of technology again?
Nothing, but you are not underestimating the inevitability of technology. You are ruling out technological advances.
And collecting data on Americans is "illegal"? There are ways around that. Heard of "Guantanamo Bay"? No constitutional amendments can ever be made? No illegal activity has ever taken place? Data stored today can never be made legal to be analyzed in coming decade? Target can not be made small enough (suspected "dissidents") to make it effective even today?
No, it said "microsoft" somewhere so I didn't bother
This Slashdot story said "microsoft" too, right in the title, first word. Wish you hadn't bothered about this too.
By the way - if internet connectivity is an issue, and your tablet is full, you're anyway stuck bringing SD cards (or whatever
This whatever is what USB stick is. See? Even in the present, at times connectivity is an issue, so Dropbox, owncloud and and probably tons of others are not accessible. And USB stick ("whatever" for you) is what people use to easily use their data. Smart people anyway.
3. You didn't bother to take any time to customize KDE's layout (and believe me it can be customized in some MAJOR ways that Gnome intentionally prevents you from doing).
Ok, how do I disable screensaver in KDE? Right, chmod -x {find the executable resposible for screensaver}; last I checked.
How do I prevent okular from trying to save the password for a protected PDF? right, chmod -x {find the executable used for kwallet}; last I checked.
Awesomely configurable, I must say.
Gnome gives UI for configuring these 2. To say nothing of KDE forcing semantic desktop / desktop killing SSDs and thrashing HDDs unlike Gnome.
and all the decent software that is FOSS?yeah its all got a Windows port
Awesome, last hurdle to my windows adoption finally cleared. Could you point me to the windows port of ZFS? Or, BTRFS would do too, but I would prefer ZFS.
Remote GUI login FOSS with multiple users logging on simultaneously would be nice too.
A single repository where I can update all my Software including the OS, and find new ones too, using a FOSS adminstration tool would be great.
I don't see you or anyone calling for similar restrictions on Apple
The subject line of the Slashdot story would help you there. You would notice, this story is about "Microsoft", NOT "Apple". You would "see" plenty of people calling for various things, including restrictions, on Apple if you go to apple.slashdot.org, or read stories about Apple in other sections of Slashdot.
Sorry, I am not writing the book I mentioned. I just hoped someone would. Though you can add your above post as an illustration in your own book, as I hadn't mentioned I intend to write any book like mentioned but you concluded it anyway. You are quite the person to write a book on "clueless morons". Being one yourself is quite a help, I am sure.
You are demonstrating the act of trolling quite well. Only thing left is for the observer to know the name of this internet behavior. For an experienced internet user like me, it was very simple, thank you. Your posts can go into textbooks to illustrate trolling to help people less well informed than me. Thanks for community service.

To sell something you have to have a solution to a problem, even if it was a problem people didn't realize they had before the product appeared
So maybe they have a solution to a problem, and like "people", you don't realize you have a problem now?
Would you rather have a new version of the OS, with all but say, one or two features (that your hardware wouldn't support, or support well enough to be useful), or what you have now; which is NO NEW VERSION AT ALL?
I would rather define "well enough" myself.

Blogger? WordPress? Embed the video in the same blog too.

Right so you have changed the screensaver instead of disabling, and never used a password protected PDF with okular, but it is I who am trolling.
Obviously I didn't persist with KDE, so I don't know the latest state of things. Doesn't look too encouraging from your statements though.
come with a lifetime or 10 warranty.
10 lifetimes of warranty must be illegal.

Irrelevant, Mr Troll.
and all the decent software that is FOSS?yeah its all got a Windows port
If you are saying ZFS is not "decent", I have no more hopes of sanity from you.
Else, you are contradicting yourself.
But I thought you said
and all the decent software that is FOSS?yeah its all got a Windows port
but now you are having to digress from the subject?
Ahh, you were trolling. It must be tragic having to ignore yourself, but your signature would force you to. My sympathies.

You are welcome.
the only way a book will be published that uses my post as an example of trolling is if you write one yourself
Unsubstantiated
the only way any book you write would be published is if you pay someone to publish it
Ditto. Also, a "book" need not be "paid published" to be called a book in these days of e-books.
Anyway, I was just making fun of your stupidity. Alas, the same quality of yours makes you unable to understand it.
and you can selectively follow that
You can. But you can also just pirate. Which is what he is doing.
You really are a dim bulb there
Even though it was you that drew the wrong conclusions?
Anyway, don't worry. This is the best you can come up with, at the moment, but next year you are sure to think of a witty reply. Keep trying.

Please try to be funny when you troll.
I have "studied" it quite well. So you are saying you cannot be charged with theft of service until you arrange with god to benefit from my prayers.
Google is doing what it wants to do. It doesn't become theft of service just because someone benefits from it.
