so if they were using all metric and said adjust left 4mm when they meant 4m then the metric system would have just fixed that for them. I'm all in for metric then!!
I guess I just still find a large number of the articles interesting. There has always been fluff stuff, or at least articles that I'm not interested in. It's not my site so I just over look those.
Been doing star wars props for years. He is actually very friendly towards the 1 off and small run of things. There are clubs that specialize in it like the R2 Builders club, the 501st Stormtrooper legion and many others that are all fan made and fan driven. the 501st works directly with Lucas Film on many promotional and such.
that's not how it works in a free market. You sell the main ticket then also include selling a lifeboat ticket/insurance. If you don't have the lifeboat ticket then you are screwed if it goes down. Don't like it, don't go on the boat.
That's a strong possibility but I think it may be more than 5 years. The tablet/handheld/phone will work into being a drop in replacement for the current desktop configuration which will then evolve into something new. Perhaps similar to what you suggest.
There is nothing inherently or architecturally non-multitasking in either Android or iOS. It can be unscaled, again over then next 5 years to meet the needs.
Better yet, Linux wont take over the desktop, Linux will replace the desktop. Specifically the Android version of Linux.
My prediction: In the next 5 years desktops will be mostly replaced with a dock-able tablet that will then become the computer. Your home will have a dock, keyboard, mouse and monitor. You'll drop either your tablet or phone into it. It will run either Android or iOS, and will have hardware comparable in power to today/tomorrows desktops.
"...Linux for the average user when there are 100 different distros..."
There are at most 5-6 distros for the average user. Counting every special single distro is at best ignorantly misinformed. More likely intellectually dishonest or outright FUD.
I need to know the "watery tart lobbing scimitars" to miles conversion. The other day they was an asteroid the size of a strange woman distributing swords that burned up over California.

Some Democrats are apparently lacking the ability to see irony.
I think the party you were looking for is Libertarian.

"...the articles are aimed at getting page views."
It would be so much better if they posted stuff I wasn't interested in. I don't think I understand this comment...
yet interestingly I look at the front page of slashdot and it's not that much different than it was almost 15 years ago when I started here.

PREVIEW!!
s/shipping/sinking/
Yea I'm sure shipping a billion dollar boat would be worth the extraction money they could get for the lifeboat insurance.
No where near as cool as this, but I did do a similar project several years ago. Holds a party keg of Guinness.

Is that what happened to the original trilogy for LotR too?
What is this "not online" of which you speak? That term is unfamiliar to me.
At about a nickle profit they must have sold 76 billion phones. That means everyone on earth bought 10 phones each.
Sitting here with my Droid X and my Xoom Tablet I have to wonder, Why not?
...and fun!
A huge parachute in the thin atmosphere to slow down your orbital decent before you hit the thicker air?
the could always tack on a boaster that gets them up to speed then detaches and falls back to earth.
Every once in a while you'll see a Liberal Dystropian story show up like 1984, THX-1138, Atlas Shrugged or the newer hunger games.

NASA's to worried about global warming and reducing energy usage for the US.
