It still has many of the limitations that the original FusionIO cards have: It's pricey at $11/GB (although not astronomical like the original products), and you still can't boot off of it. This means you'll need at least one old fashioned drive with the OS on it to get your machine going, which is a shame because the system files can often make good use of SSD performance.
I have a Linux machine that boots off a hard drive (i.e. bootloader and kernel) and the rest of the system runs on a SSD. The HD can then spin down until next boot. I guess other real operating systems can do this too.
I'm sure somebody will try to correct me in that "hakea" actually means "fetch" or "search", but in this case I find "find" more appropriate. The word "avain" means "key" and it is probably related to explaining the idea of "category".
What is "supernatural" anyway? To me it simply means something we cannot explain with our current knowledge. For example electricity was once considered supernatural.
I also think "nature" means the same thing as "universe", so by definition there is nothing outside it.
Why do we want to watch videos inside a web page? This is something I've never understood, and the first time I saw YouTube it looked like an extremely dumb idea. There must be better ways of distributing video on the Internet. I always use clive when somebody sends me a youtube/vimeo link, but I'd much rather get a link to the actual file.
I'm probably just an old-fashioned geek, but I like to focus on whatever I'm doing. When I'm watching a video, I'd rather not watch any extraneous crap around it. It's an issue of both screen real estate and attention. Now get off my lawn!
If the mouse was never invented, EMACS (and vi) would still be one of the best interfaces. But the mouse was invented and things changed.
I use a mouse and lots of graphical applications, but I also use emacs in a text terminal. There must be something wrong with me, since I like using different tools for different jobs.
There are graphical browsers for framebuffer, svgalib and directfb, so X is certainly not needed. Just a few days ago I used links -g while my X was broken.
This reminds me of the case of Zendroid, a Finnish robotics company that was asked to change its name by Google and Lucasfilm. Of course, Lucasfilm doesn't want anyone else to use anything with "droid". As for Google, they didn't exactly invent the word "android", and besides, what does a mobile OS have to do with humanoid robots?
ALSA handles multiple sources well enough by itself, with the dmixer plugin.
I imagine sound servers may have some legitimate uses, but for the software mixing, I don't see any reason why most users would need anything beyond plain ALSA. Thus it seems like a bad idea to run a sound server by default.
I also use plain ALSA for making music, and when I play around with multiple sound cards, I want to set things up as directly as possible. The dmixer plugin is easy to bypass.
That's just the problem. Most people do not bother to learn proper interfaces, they just want something easy that they can use right away. It's pretty sad as it tells something about their attention span and future considerations.
I think it was a hint from a high school teacher, and I tried it out of curiosity. Later I found out pretty good evicende on why it works.
For one thing, when you are right handed, your left hand is more spatially/visually oriented, because it is more strongly connected to the right hemisphere. Everyone who plays the guitar should know this -- they are using the 'wrong' hand on the neck.
I also think about the general idea that you should be making the most of your body, like using both CPUs on a dual core machine if you happen to have one.
From the pictures, it looks like 480 (width) by 800 (height). Though this is not exactly your typical computer screen, which of course must be wide to be optimal for watching movies, rather than something like reading and writing.
Correction: this is built for people who use the touchpad with their right hand. (I am right handed, but I mouse on the left, so I can keep my right hand on the keyboard. Or penis, depending on the situation.)
I agree, it does look like a flat-breasted version of mammatus, complete with the similarly well-defined surface. However, one might ask why the instability does not develop any further into a full mammatus. So perhaps there is a qualitatively different phenomenon.
As always, it depends. I recently got back to school and found a used N800, which has been great for managing lecture handouts and a calendar. So far I've read one full scientific article on it, and it turned out surprisingly nice.
IMHO, the experience amounts to two factors: first, the resolution is really crisp, over 200 DPI, so the fonts are better than on any conventional computer. The display is small, but if you look at a paperback novel, the text area is not much wider. Second, the device is small and light, so you can get into a comfortable and lazy reading position. Reading on a regular computer feels rather restrictive, since it forces you into sitting still. I have no prior experience with tablet computers, ebook readers or anything similar, and this probably applies to most of them.
However, it is crucial that a line of text is readable without horizontal scrolling. Thus a PDF with a small font can become unreadable. Multi-column text is particuarly bad, but it doesn't really work on regular computers either.
Storage is always in bytes. Bits would be transmission rate (because it correlates to frequency)
In information theory, storage is also considered a (noisy) communication channel. You still have the same problem of representing bits in terms of something analog, with a suitable coding to minimize errors.

"Here you can find the category of the word"

And that remaining 10% are going to have a lot of fun before the required exertion kills them :P
In other words: Death by Snu-Snu!
As a chemist, I only drink Red Ox.

I would imagine the iron cross is still available for outstanding hardware developers.

With blackjack and hookers! In fact, forget about the internet.
Seriously though, it is nice to have a lowest common denominator in characters, so that everyone can type every address on the Internet.
Ubiquity? You mean there are more USB 3.0 devices around than Firewire devices?
Poll: which of these is the correct spelling of Bohr's first name?
Seconded, I have a Linkstation Live running Gentoo.

So, what should I call my atmospheric simulations then?

Seriously, I agree with you to some extent. Python seems to work fine with much fewer punctuation characters.

Actually, that link takes me to my ADSL box, not your machine. These are unroutable addresses, how would you access one over the Internet?
