If you're defining the usability bar as AutoCAD, you're missing the mark. AutoCAD's just following whatever UI standard they get handed for Windows logo certification. Usually take a lot of effort to get a fresh AutoCAD install to the point of being usable, that is, no toolbars, no ribbon, just a workspace and a command line.
... you should hire someone who knows what they're doing, and/or quit acting like the kids from Jurassic Park. Pretty pictures alone don't tell the whole story in the real world.
What about the ever-growing Linux segment? Magic System Request has saved my ass countless times now. System Request is the key you hope you never need but are glad it's there when you do.
What you want is a netbook. An honest to God netbook, in the spirit of the first ones.
What bugs me is people who say they want a netbook, but then say that they want to be able to run Windows and Second Life on it. Oh give me a fucking break! You want a laptop! Worse yet, manufacturers seem to be playing into this stupidity instead of saying, "Look, you're asking the impossible." And then we get news stories saying how the netbook is doomed and how they're pricing itself out of it's own market segment...
Go ahead...just try to switch GPUs without a reboot and a trip to the BIOS if you run a real OS. Lenovo didn't bother checking with the community for support first with that feature.
Then they are certifiably disqualified from IT. Haven't they heard of bogofilter? Christ, I'm a civil engineer and I get that one...and you'd be amazed how many people design bridges and use AutoCAD but get dumbfounded by a web browser...
Yeah, I was a Kia nerd. It's too bad they expanded too fast and went bust...they used to make everything from bicycles to articulated busses, military jeeps to quarry dumptrucks, and everything in between. Now they're just rebadged, stripped down Hyundais. What a sad fate!
The 1997-2002 Sportages were built by Hyundai and Hyundai really cut corners with 'em that made them deathtraps. All Sportages 1997-2002 were recalled due to a number of transmission and rear-axle problems thanks to them using the cheaper Elantra parts instead of the military-spec ones off the original Sportage. These problems are known to cause parts to seize and catch fire, causing accidents, at freeway speeds.
Hyundai took a perfectly good vehicle and turned it into crap.
Both. I don't see many left on the road, but the ones I do see tend to be battle-scarred from a decade of backwoods travel, mud-splattered and otherwise well-loved.

Not quite. It's actually a virtual reality environment anybody can join. Feel free to check it out.
Never mind that licensing is the overriding concern since that's the one that actually costs freedom and money.
How do you really shred without some good, heavy-gauge strings? The tactile feedback is part of the guitar experience!
Wow, I'm all for finding new and interesting ways to use Second Life, but as a network visualization tool? That's a tad bit of a stretch.
Hi, Vince here for Slap Chop...

Carburetors: Not just for bongs anymore.
Yes, yes it does.
Except it's W3C that sets the standards.
Too bad HTML5 specifies Ogg Theora, not H.264. This is about as much HTML5 as Silverlight.
If it was HTML5, it would be supporting Ogg Theora, not the crap Apple's offering.
Where's the company that made it today? 'Nuff said.
HTTP proxy caching is a best practice for ISPs and businesses, and going to HTTPS thus adds overhead since this traffic can't be cached.
Because nobody's sat down to educate them in a way that gets through to their learning style yet.
Except what we're talking about is ignorance, not stupidity. Ignorance is easily remedied.
Every time someone suggests educating society in a changing world, someone's gotta suggest keeping the status quo at IQ-60...

I realize that the question was "NOT SyFy," but really, what's to like about the network in it's present form? Reboot it.
