They're not nano-sized robots, they're hand-sized. And they're nothing new, it's just your average quadropter. You can buy that kind of thing (or just the parts) in any good shop on the internet.
It does have better performance along with many applications that are not available (or available but not in such a practical way) on other operating systems. The problem, however, is that it has this one misfeature: choice.
The only reason Apple is successful is because they've managed to establish some kind of luxury brand. It's 99% marketing, 1% technology.
Linux vendors need to sell an experience, not a product. It needs to be well-supported, preconfigured with everything the average person wants on a computer
That's exactly what it is. I can't say the same for OS X at all though. While with Linux you can do everything you possibly wanted in a couple of commands, on OS X you need to install third-party software to do the most basics of things, and certain things can't even be done (i.e. ethernet bridging or other low-level network things).
You do realize all Linux distributions already come with an equivalent of an "App Store" which contains tens of thousands of up-to-date high-quality software packages? It's usually called a "software repository" or "software center"
It even has user ratings and lists of "what's hot", "what's new", "top rated" etc.
By that reasoning, all chemistry students should be jailed, since explosives are the most basic thing that every student learns as part of their studies.
You seem to be implying that anyone couldn't do the job of a lawyer. It's not that hard to read publicly available material and go through the clauses to see when the law applies and when it doesn't.
What she got from her studies is not skill, it's just the right of communicating officially with judiciary instances and being heard and listened to in a tribunal.
Debian, Ubuntu and the like all have an amd64 version as well. There is no reason to use a i386/i686 version instead of amd64. The latter will be faster and be able to use more memory.

This should be moderated +5 Insightful.
Does X11 even have multi-touch support?
Try the Linux phones Nokia made before being bought by Microsoft.
Is that a joke?
Developed countries have unlimited bandwidth for 15 bucks.
Do you mean to say normal, rational people are uncomfortable with sex?

Use centrifugal force at the space station level to implement actual gravity.
That's because violence will eventually become part of the kids' lives, while sex shouldn't.
Oh crap, is it the other way around?
Sure, this way you'll know exactly how you should not program!
That is correct.
And I personally never use this thing, I find synaptic or command-line tools much more efficient.
But then I don't find app stores (be it os x or android ones) any good either.

If only the government part were true.
It came pre-installed with the computer, and I couldn't be bothered to replace it

Sorry, I meant to say more *critical*, not more *costly*.
(When will we be able to edit our posts?)
You have twice as many registers, which are each twice as big.
Spilling to memory is much more costly than a cache miss.
The AMD64 instruction set and the ABI are so much better than on i386/i686 that you definitely should.

It she weren't a lawyer, we wouldn't even be speaking about it.
It's funny how lawyers seem to have extra rights in our society. They can make demands, we cannot.
While are PIN numbers relevant? You don't need them to purchase things.
People don't have fresh installs, they've got OEM installs with bundled crapware.
It's not really a differentiating factor since every other distribution has amd64, and given that i686 is useless when you have amd64.
