You seem to be very happy posting facts you think are bad for the HBT movement, if this was all you could fins you haven't done much of a job.
If you discriminate, you should be convicted if there are laws against that. I would say it usually is very hard to get convicted of discrimination in a regular court, there have been cases in Sweden were there were videos of discrimination and you still didn't get a sentence (The court stalled the complaint)..
Well that's what everyone in Sweden thinks anyway. Or that's what I think we believe, so if this is true that we will have a huge protest, then I was wrong and probably you too.
Elonex has a removable keyboard, even though the lack of touch screen makes it less usefull. I really want to have one of these with out keyboard, because of the small form factor the keyboard becomes alot more conspicuous.
I've been using small Laptops since 2000 and the keyboard has always been an issue. Sure 90% of the time it doesn't matter, but sometimes it really is helpful to remove the keyboard.
I puzzled for ages as to how to get backtick (`) for use in shell scripts. I still have no idea how to do that on my keyboard, I just use $() in bash. Glad I don't use it in other places, and it really has little use imho.
And I can't write them here and see them in the preview.
It's snappy even if you don't load it to ram..;-) Sadly DSL is IMHO only useful in emergancies, since none of the included tools are very famliar to me.
I mean using scheme as an Excel replacement, is abit hardcore.
All that is true for most Linux distributions as well, but many servers can very well have use for X11 even though they are headless. Maybe you want to play XBattle with your friends.
Just thought I would give some refs, not sure why..;-) Debian boots easily with 30MB memory, and with LVM and module loading disabled it needs 13MB.
I'll comment your response, since argent didn't include links.
FreeBSD have a lot of virtues, but you still haven't shown me anything that is even comparable to the small Linux distributions reviewed in this article. I see a lot of tools to make those Live CDs, but no effort to actually build a usable live CD for ordinary people. I might be wrong, please do prove me wrong.
<prejudice+experience> This is the saddest part of *BSD, there's so many cool things, but so little will to make it accessibly. *BSD is all about hand building everything, patching your SCSI drivers to get them working etc.</prejudice+experience> The Live CDs mentioned in the article are supposed to just work.
Everything can be made small, the first time I did a install of Linux on a machine I owned I had 80MB to play with, that worked very fine, I could even compile everything. If I wanted to compile the Linux kernel I had to do remove x11 and reinstall it afterwards, so it was tight. What I want to say is that everything is possible it's just a question about how much work you want to do, and reinstalling X everytime you want to recompile your kernel isn't that nice.
FreeBSD doesn't fit the profile, but if you have anything based on FreeBSD that is specifically made for small computers and with a desktop. I think this is what makes all those small Linux dists special, they try really hard to fit alot of things into a small space.
QNX set the bar pretty high in this area with their browser+OS on a single floppy..
You are missing the point, the worst thing that happens to the data is when it arrives to the consultant. These kinds of databases are something everyone sees value in, and makeing a copy is trivial. (Even though the consultants laptop isn't on the network, and not plugged into power)
Make it very clear that this data can not be exposed. See some good posts:
See this is why we should have Wifi harddrive that you can easily access without opening your bags. Think about it the customs won't even have to stop anyone they can just leech all the data and check if you got something illegal.
So no long queues, no waiting, everyone is happy. We just have to wait for EyeFi to release a version slightly larger than 2GB..
I was imagining a laser doing touchups on really bad places of the chip to remove shortcircuits and stuff like that. But this seems like another step in the process of making chips.

first rule of video, discarding everything that isn't great quality.
MP3 has only been around ~10 years, so we can't really tell. But yes you will probably be able to find an MP3 playing machine 100 years from now.
Yes you are in trouble because on a sysadmin list for the local universities, we get one cry for help every year. The template for that cry is:
Help!
We have lots of tape of type xyz, and our tape drive is broken. Do you guys have a tape drive that can read this.

I think one problem is the interaction between SSH and X11.app is kind of flaky if you use Terminal.app instead of xterm.
And you need to install X11 from the second disc, which can be a drag.
There are some Debian EeePC problems, but it's quite ok.
Check out the trailer: you have Linux booting on a huge screen in the background.

removable keyboard
Though we haven't seen an updated to Elonex shopping page since march...

The guys at Flylogic really make some high quality micro chip reverse engineering (I was going to say porn).

Sadly if you are running make on a 500KB/s hardrive and a 10 Mbps ethernet card you are going to be limited by that.
<-- batman provided links, So I'll comment there.

maybe they wanted to save the host some bandwidth.

A bit like drying pulp to get paper.

But then again, we now that you might gain very little by planning 500 years in the future. Look at Great Wall, Machu Piccht and all other.
May I ask what OCR package, having an OCR that can be handled with Perl would be very nice.
