separate plugins might improve security but if they aren't careful, all those heavy-weight process will tie up resources. Ive never looked at the code but this was my first impression of chrome last year, though that impression has changed over time. Heres to hoping the firefox team learns from chrome
After ditching the stock xandros that came on my eeepc 700 2G, i tried ubuntu-eee netbook remix (now easy peasy) but performance was not great. I tried eeebuntu-base which was a lot better and includes one-click scripts for you to run at anytime to get the configuration and performance just right for your model. but for what i use my little laptop for (local or remote development) i realized that a command-line was really all i needed so now have arch linux installed with toofishes' custom kernel for the eee and no GUI (for now). It boots fast, only has what i need and pretty easy to update with pacman (rolling distro). Its pretty awesome.
The Arch Linux wiki entry for installing on an eee has some great general purpose advice

unless of course your requirements call for it. But your systems will run very slow if every time they have to boot they have to go thru the decrypt process. you should only need to encrypt your users' data. Hopefully, system data and user data are, at least, in different folders of the filesystem.
she doesn't need a reason to have a hammer. she can do what ever she wants and whatever they are selling will still sell. see? i bought five or six already
link is skim on details. any word if there is error correction or is it just detection? what does this add that say erasure coding (reed-solomon) lacks?
besides setting up a development evironment - commandline, GUI, or otherwise - i would also include some plan for a separate code repository so that if you change your mind on the dev env. you won't have to move code all over the place. I would look into svnrepository.com which is about $5-10 a month. Or if you are looking to use your PC graveyard, maybe use them as a repository farm.
This way you won't have to overthink your environment and can build up a trial dev env. and tear it down if it doesn't suit you with no fear of data loss.
To add to the point above about "knowing when," Jeff Atwood believes that you should write the parts of the system critical to your business and reuse code for the rest. For example, if you are a bank, write your own banking software but reuse code for web front-ends.
by Bruce Powel Douglass explains how to use UML to model real-time embedded systems. I picked it up when i needed to come up with graphical designs for my senior thesis a couple of years ago. I had never once worked on a real-time system but this book helped me a lot in that it stresses the importance of the state and sequence diagrams (as many previous posters are also). Douglass does a good job of showing how to use the state diagram and nested states for multi-threading which helped me on my specific project. With this book i was able to catch a lot mistakes in my initial "swag" design and better able to understand how all the multi-threading parts would need to fit together.
And why wouldn't UML work for decomposed functions? Use case, sequence, and state diagrams are not limited to any level of abstraction/detail, right?

There is software for your iPhone (about $400 also) that can turn it into a hearing aid. It is called SoundAMP and costs $10 http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10281062-233.html

right, whats the worst that could happen? Just lay it on thick! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7FFXBrOAdg

i'll just wait for the Star Trek Babies spin off.
