Sudo copied Windows - hmmmm... "Sudo was originally written by Bob Coggeshall and Cliff Spencer "around 1980" at the Department of Computer Science at SUNY/Buffalo". I think one could reasonably assume that the GP was being facetious.
The tie is otherwise the singular, most useless, garment on Earth. I think that a pre-tied noose has hundreds of potential applications. Pretty much one result, but the journey is half the fun, right?
A man after my own heart. Though I have to point out that while a 900c (or a 790, which was a bit more stable and easy to use in my experience) should do everything required of it by the OP, there are a couple of drawbacks:
While it's a lot easier to find ARM programs than it was to track down MIPS-compatible binaries for my old 790, they're still pretty few and far between, as most programs will be written for the PocketPC, and some of them don't port over to an H/PC gracefully. Also, it's not very portable. At all. While it's not bulky, it's a far cry from being pocket-sized, and the problem is made worse when there's a WiFi card sticking out the side. (Not to mention that it's getting harder to track down 16 bit WiFi cards with CE drivers these days.)
That said, there's a reason I still keep my 900c around despite the brand new laptop charging right next to it at the moment.
I bought one for $150 USD off eBay not two years ago. I paid a similar price for an old MobilePro 790 a few years back. Did you honestly think that a niche product released four years ago that still has a very limited demand would still be selling for retail?
Your argument is flawed in that both All Along the Watchtower and Planet Rock created something new and distinct from their source. A more accurate example would be Kanye West's Gold Digger, which uses a whole line from Ray Charles's I Got A Woman as a beat. While it created something new, it's not distinct from I Got A Woman, it's a broken record playing a Ray Charles song while some fool raps over it. It required little talent to do, just a "Best of Ray Charles" CD.
And, while it is inaccurate to claim that all rap is built on theft, clearly the guy isn't a rap fan, so his exposure to the genre is limited to the garbage that makes it into the top 40. A lot of rap/country bashers would change their tune in a second if there were allowed to hear decent rap and country music.

Nice, but it will never be as secure as sending a Word document with the font changed to Windings.
Bah. Everyone knows that it's not really community-driven unless it has a Creative Commons license.
Editing a book isn't like editing Wikipedia. It means "proofread for the purposes of quality control," not "create derivative versions."
Where do I enroll in this mystical universe where mankind, as a whole, has only one problem which requires solving?
You're missing the point: this technology will finally allow us to tune into the last millennium's alien HBO.
I'm also inept. Now where might this farm be located?
Obligatory "show us on the doll where the iPod touched you."
