Interesting read.
Early in my career ('83 to '85 I think) I worked for a company in England called CASU Electronics.
Similar story - S100 based systems running CP/M that lost out in the end to the IBM PC.
Sleeping laying down will be bad for you as well, once sales of sleep apnea masks tail off.
I find it suspicious that sitting is suddenly mega-dangerous. I'm sure there are risks but they seem a bit exaggerated. Is this the new "fish oil" scam? A lot of the expensive standing desks and treadmills certainly look like a nice way to make money.
If the hardware doesn't work with default Windows or Linux distribution, it's shit. (think clean install).
Years ago at work, we got some new desktops.
The desktops had 4GB of RAM, but the Windows XP Pro on them could only see 3GB. One of the guys decided to put Windows 2003 on the machines to get access to all the RAM.
It turns out there were NO drivers for that hardware which existed for Windows 2003, and even getting back to XP Pro proved exceedingly difficult because... it was almost impossible to find the drivers again as they basically weren't published anywhere. Essentially this machine could only work with the OEM image made up of drivers and other custom crap which were almost impossible to find.
To add insult to injury, whatever idiot had ordered them got us some new-fangled wide screen monitors. The problem was that while the actual resolution of the monitor was a 4:3 aspect ratio... the actual pixels were flattened so that in its native resolution the screen drew circles as flattened ovals.
I 100% agree with you. Because non-standard crap from vendors makes for utter garbage machines.
I get the feeling that maybe you have no idea what you are doing....
De idea uh constructin' some language capable uh replacin' English gotss'ta fascinated me fo' some long time. What it is, Mama. Right On! I'd likes t'start some project wid some uh mah' own ideas and anyone who's interested, but I'd really likes t'hear whut da damn Slashdot community dinks on de topic fust. Takin' fo' granted dat actually replacin' English be highly unlikesly, whut characteristics would da damn new language need? Mo'e specifically, dig dis: How could da damn language be made as easy as possible t'learn comin' fum any lin'uistic background? How could interest in de language be fostered in as many sucka's as possible? What so't uh grammar would ya' choose and why? How would ya' build wo'ds and how would ya' select meanin's fo' dem, and why? What sounds and letters (and script(s)) would ya' choose? How impo'tant be simplicity and brevity? How impo'tant are aesdetics (and whut makes some language aesdetic)? What oda' facto's could be impo'tant t'consider, and whut oda' wahtahmelluns would ya' likes t'see in such some language?

I can already do all of these things with my hands - why do I need this?

Exactly. They are smartphone users not smart phone users.

So he doesn't run his own email server but uses gmail? Wow
Everyone seems to be missing the main point. It uses 'multi-colored gears', 'is compact and multi-colored'.

We'll need Monster Cables to make it all work.
He gets paid $7 million a year for doing voices? How fucked up society is!
With that GPA you should have no problem at all getting a job as a Security Guard.
That is too far out. Technology will have moved on by then.
How do you know how far a rat can see? Get them to read a Snellen chart?
Bloody Wanker.
Some people are just arrogant pricks.

Can it also see through walls that were not built in a garage?
And Jay Leno had the same shirt and jeans on in 1995 as he does now,

The government should fund a program to encourage more girls to choose airline pilot as a career.
You look ill in the after photo.
No more aching wrists!
Have you ever considered doing something worthwhile and maybe getting a real job like adults do?
Maybe you should spend more time at school rather than at the movies watching fantasy?
Can't download from the Apple store - no longer available is what it says.
Thank you. I followed the legal route, filling in countless forms (each one with a high filing fee) and waited, and waited. Stupid me!
Cure - death.
