Summer/Spring/Transfer admission University programs which also admit students with much lower Math SAT scores (as a way to avoid including those scores in their main official published advertised statistics).
It's as you said: Nokia N900, hands down. You get: 1. Fully unlocked phone, unlocked bootloader and real Linux. 2. Loads of "hacker" tools and apps. 3. Busybox ash(stock) or full Bash if you want. 4. The phone part is fully scriptable with dbus commands. There's even a dbus monitor daemon to run a script when a certain dbus signal is sent. 5. Hardware keyboard, decent specs(CPU's a bit weak, but greatly overclockable), and good screen. 6. Debian Chroot gives full LXDE system right on your phone if you need it. 7. Real web-browser functionality: tablet-friendly stock microB(FF based, renders like FF 3), Firefox Mobile, Chromium(desktop version basically), Opera
Also I've frequently heard that the U.S. only has enough oil under the ground to survive 60 days w/o outside imports, and then the wells will be dry. We really don't have the ability to become independent (despite what many politicians believe).
Windows applications may support a subset of remote management, but unfortunately there is often the case that one needs a desktop application to fully configure an app. On Linux the default is text file configs modifiable via CLI, whereas Windows' applications _expect_ you to have a GUI. Until that expectation changes, RDP will be the most powerful remote management available on Windows.
CA is a mighty big place, and I haven't traveled all that much of it. However I do happen to have phones on ATT's 3G network that can act as hotspots, and USB networking devices for VZW and Sprint. I don't have T-Moble because the coverage map looked like it wasn't really useful.
I have no data for Nevada. Last time I was in Arizona I didn't have a VZW device, but ATT seemed fine pretty much everywhere.
If you want AT&T's network but don't like the price, H2OWireless uses ATTs network and has better prices than ATT prepaid...but don't bother calling tech support unless you have 3 hours to burn (hiring a single person for tech support calls must be how they keep costs low!).
If you have a GSM device, just pickup a prepaid sim card when you get in the US. Either T-mobile Pre-paid or H2O Wireless (uses AT&T's network). Check which 3G frequency your device uses and save the $$$ from buying a new device. I've used both T-Mobile Monthly Pre-paid and H2OWireless and would recommend T-mobile for reliability, but both work well.
Ah, young idealism, trying to be the Debian. I was there, once. It is true that it's better to have open-source drivers, but you need a stable, open, documented hardware platform. PCs are, Android is neither.
Debian includes access to a "non-free" official repository that his non-open-source drivers. Please don't refer to the Debian Foundation as "young ideal[ists]." They've done a great job balancing idealism and pragmatism.
Sounds like these publishers don't know their market. I only buy ebooks because they are inexpensive. At relatively close prices I'd prefer a physical book (where at least I won't be restricted by the publisher's "loan" policy!).
I will never, ever be a customer of AT&T again. When I heard about the AT&T offer for T-Mobile, it was a week before my contract was up. I bailed for a pay as you go service elsewhere.
Any AT&T customer upset with AT&T's "threats" should jump ship and move to T-Mobile as an added burn...

I routinely used a JavaME email app on my "dumb"-phone...kept my net usage to a few MBs per month and was only paying $30/month with T-mobile prepaid (please, please don't let ATT buy them!)...JavaME FTW!
I agree, and it's not just remorse over the $1, it's the time wasted. When you need ONE good app and search results give you 20 hits, what do you do? Spend all weekend playing with 20 apps? Then you ask on a forum and some joker says, "what's wrong with you, I just googled and there are 20 hits!"
That's why I prefer WebOS...there's only those 5 apps, and you know which ones are good because they've been on iOS and Android for like 2 years longer.;)

I'm a big Nokia N8x/N9x fan, but I'd also add that the HP Veer has a full hardware keyboard and Busybox stock with installable Bash, and root access. The guys at WebOS Internals have done a great job of documenting Linux Applications for WebOS devices:

I'll probably try the diesel car route like a VW Jetta the next time around.
My old Jetta TDI worked great (great for highway, good for city), but the new Jetta TDI Hybrid makes me drool! http://www.dasautomagazine.com/2012/March/Volkswagen-Hybrid.php

Captain Sully was also the last person off the plane http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/story?id=7793478&page=1 I'd call him more than just "lucky."
That said, if it came down to it I'd have "William Roehl" on Facebook and I'd keep my Bill Roehl account for my usual FB needs.
On the other hand if they google William Roehl it will likely turn up this Slashdot post.

If that's what you frequently hear, you should consider listening to less bias sources. Just the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve will last 36 days: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Petroleum_Reserve
The current estimate of "undiscovered" reserves would last about 1000 days without rationing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves_in_the_United_States
Oil Shale adds another estimated 100,000 days (270yrs) of reserve http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves_in_the_United_States#Oil_shale
I'd add Natural Gas (which many cars/trucks can convert to use) to the list. Supplementing that with electric vehicles where appropriate, and the US looks in good shape.
I mean look at the F35, stealth makes it both a lousy fighter...so you'll end up with the F15 having to babysit the damned thing
So an Air Superiority escorts a Multirole fighter...what's your complaint again?

So why then all the hate when Mozilla follows the same release mentality?
If Linux kernel followed the same release mentality of Mozilla, we'd have Linux 10.3 already.
Nothing stops you from using Windows Remote Management to do exactly the same thing with Windows.
Windows applications may support a subset of remote management, but unfortunately there is often the case that one needs a desktop application to fully configure an app. On Linux the default is text file configs modifiable via CLI, whereas Windows' applications _expect_ you to have a GUI. Until that expectation changes, RDP will be the most powerful remote management available on Windows.

PCs are not an "open, documented hardware platform." Here's an interesting thread from 2004 about this same issue debated at Debian http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2004/02/msg00136.html

As a WebOS fan, this makes me sad. Why would HP give up on such an incredibly profitable market after only investing $3.3billion http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/21/hps-failed-webos-experiment-cost-them-3-3-billion-but-whats-next/ ? The iOS and Andriod user experiences still have not passed WebOS smoothness, in my opinion, though the notification systems are catching up.

Sorry, but Java ME is not an operating system.
Android includes an OS but is not an OS; uses Linux. Comparing Android (the platform) and Java ME is valid.
I routinely used a JavaME email app on my "dumb"-phone...kept my net usage to a few MBs per month and was only paying $30/month with T-mobile prepaid (please, please don't let ATT buy them!)...JavaME FTW!
Not as high-tech as one of these Automatic rising toilets

There hadn't really been a handheld revolution since Palm and BlackBerry.
webOS user experience is a "revolution" IMHO...
Now that it's Open Source, hopefully Amazon will use it for the Kindle Fire (a horrible user experience, IMHO)...
