I had the tx2000z for close to 3 years(mobo burned out last month) and it was an awesome machine once you got ubuntu configured on it right. It came with vista and that lasted long enough to download an iso and burn it. Unless they've made significant changes to the tablet control software, it's still going to suck, even having to compile the touchscreen module and update the input devices on every kernel release in ubuntu, it was still better than the windows offering.
My school has this setup for all the students, they decided to send one out at 5am warning about some drunk guy raving in one of the buildings about how he had a knife and was going to kill himself. If they had waited till the next day to tell us everything would have been fine, instead it woke up the entire school and people rushed outside to see. I do not miss the dorms.

TSA Pats Down 3-Year-Old

At the risk of people making fun of me for watching Jackass. They had a skit where they put a hotwheels car in a condom and shoved it up one guy's ass, then he went and got Xrays done because he had an "unknown pain" and wanted to get checked out. The absolute best part was the doctor's reaction when he saw the plates.
When the full body scanners came out someone commented that sewing words into shirts using metallic thread would be a good protest because they will wind up saving the images; sew in a quote of the 4th amendment or "You enjoy this don't you? Pervert".
Combine the two and I'm sure we can find enough people who would be willing to internalize something that would show up on an Xray/Sonogram. Creep out and disturb enough TSA employees and even they might start complaining.
If it's anything like Hudson's graphical build timeline, it's a cool feature that made me go "neat" but I have honestly never used it to look stuff up on our CI server.
Yes, and the college is still a joke too. I go to Georgia College and State University and we wind up with a lot of transfers from people who went to Valdosta for their freshman year and hated how little they actually learned. From what friends of mine who go/went there they say it's nothing but an extension of high school for the kids who like partying every night and then skipping class the next day.
I think the most important thing that should be taught in school is how to learn things for yourself instead of ignorantly bleating out exactly what you heard on the news. I like the rest of your argument, it is very well thought out and reasoned, but then you decide to throw in a couple of references to the idiots from the GOP which took over the original tea party movement, painting the entire group as a bunch of bible wielding morons and you are doing nothing more than repeating what you heard last night on the news. That right there invalidates your entire final argument, you say the most important thing is to educate people on politics, and then you personally attack a group with the widest brush you could find just because you don't agree with them.
The editor forgot to mention that the post didn't actually end with what he claims it did, making out the writer to hate diaspora, the post actually ended with:
Include here the disclaimer that I like OSS, think the Diaspora team is really cool, and don’t mean to crush their spirits when I say that their code is unprofessional and not ready to be exposed to dedicated attackers any time soon.
He was doing exactly what OSS is for, reading the code, finding the bugs, and informing the developers so they can be fixed, he's only being vilified because the summary is written that way.
A project for a computer science class of mine was to make an educational toy using a micro-controller and some sensors and then programming their controls and functions to display on the screen. The teacher had us use phidgets which is somewhat pricy($80 for the board and $5-10 for each sensor) but it's completely modular and only limited by what you can design. I wound up mounting mine in a plastic case and then form fitting rubber to it so that it would be water(and mess) proof because it was for kids. Doing it this way would allow you to custom-tailor the interface for your kid, modify any parts of it that he has issues with or add functionality if it's too simplistic.
It also offers the advantage of being a base load energy producer while solar is neither base load nor variable load because it is based on an external input(the sun). People always compare different types of energy production and fail to realize there are 3 kinds. Base load is hydro/coal/nuclear; variable load is turbines of some sort: natural gas/petroleum/hydrogen; tidal, solar, and wind are all augment load because they can only be used to modify the power production of the other two while not being able to replace either. Our best bet is to use the fast breed nuclear reactors(linked to farther up in the comments) for base load, which reprocess their own waste, use the excess power from these to create hydrogen which fuels hydrogen turbines for variable load, and any excess hydrogen could easily be used to replace the main form of fuel in cars.
Alastair Reynolds wrote a series called Revelation Space which is about a machine swarm intelligence designed to destroy all life that goes outside their solar system because it prevents a galactic catastrophe trillions of years in the future. The machines leave races alone of they stay on their planet, but if they start moving through space and colonizing other worlds, they swoop in and eradicate them.
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the Vegemite he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
And he said,

Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.
My entire family is on AT&T and we all got given upgrades at the same time and so have all the other people I know who have AT&T. Because using the upgrade requires you to renew your two year contract with them it makes sense if they're losing the iPhone monopoly, they want to lock as many people in as they can for two more years before they lose it to someone else.

That's why you have your cake, and steal someone else's and eat that one.
I agree, I go to GCSU and that's what I thought as well, because when people say "Georgia College" they're almost always referring to GCSU.

I'm adding 5 words: Nuclear power surplus producing hydrogen.

Rig up one of these on a rotating platform with an x-ray detector and you can fry the whole car.

Being too lazy to model a gun so they only make half of it and then mirror.
