It's really handy for a social network to have an API for login purposes alone. I have a site that sees quite a bit of traffic and the "Log in with [Social Network]" feature is useful for casual users. Facebook has always been a pain in the ass with their API. They make unannounced changes every so often that break login functionality. Twitter's API on the other hand, has always worked just fine.
If I were allowed to grant you 6 mod points, I would sir. It's not about the platfrom per-se. It's about how it's being used. Windows 8 and Ubuntu have followed the same track as to catering to those that would rather dick around and not produce anything. To people like me, that produces things, this is a drawback.
It's ok that they go on this track for consumers of things; but for god sake, make something for the rest of us that are producers of things.
If there's anything I've learned in life with the many jobs I've had and the situations I've been in, safety is a secondary concern of Americans. When the DHS requests something like this, it should raise some eyebrows. After all, they groped my junk at the airport last I was there. Privacy is of no consequence to them... in the name of "safety".
Son of a bitch. Anywhere but government would I be laughed at with such a proposal. "5 years before yielding any results" would normally require a "fuck off" by normal people.
This is an elegant use for an accelerometer. Obvious? Now it is after they said it. But imagine being able to punch your pocket to shut your phone up. Really the guy that came up with this needs more than the $1 he will get from Microshaft for the patent.
My use: PC for when I want to get things done and produce things of value. iPad for when I just want to dick around and not really do anything. The iPad or any tablet platform really isn't fit as a content producing platform. It's awesome for consuming content though.
Unless this is going to be dispensed from a boat in international waters, I really don't see this monopoly working. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that neither the US or Russia is going to sign-onto this goat rodeo.
About 5 seconds after midnight GMT a Java server app running on my Debian Squeeze server decided it was going to eat-up ALL THE THINGS and for some reason, the server rebooted itself. Glad to know I wasn't alone in shitting myself over odd behaviours.
I've been using the same thing since Ubuntu drove the bus off a cliff with Gnome3 a year or so ago. I never really was into the "make look pretty" aspect of customizing a desktop. XFCE4 is just so damn flexible. I still have yet to run into a limitation of my own personal and development uses.

coupled with student loans that are rapidly accruing interest which can't be discharged, EVER, through bankruptcy.
False.
That is the rumor, but the fact is: you can discharge student load debt on your SECOND bankruptcy.
...And a Spaniard.

Don't forget a room for all of your relays! And if you could somehow figure out how to water jacket the vacuum tubes, you could have radiant heat!
Perhaps you can come back to myspace and doodle my google til its reddit and I yahoo all over your facebook.
To be fair, rdesktop does a good job of that. Also, telnet (Yeah living in the past, but it works.).
"Buried under..." blah blah blah. So why isn't it on top instead of the bottom of all of the bullshit?!
I'll validate that.
As a Linux fanboy, I have to say you're being too optimistic. I see people running to Mac as another option. It's a matter of education.

Hmmm. There's also Alaska.
We do have this place called Nevada.
Really? Safety? That's the angle they're working?

What is the running patent life of an idea these days? Used to be until you got off your ass and built it and others imitated.

They nixed it and rightfully so. Think of all the damage caused by hail. Their insurance premiums would go through the roof in no time!
Rage is an emotion right?
