I'm typing this on such a laptop. It's pretty good. Linux desktop ARM isn't quite mature (I'm still on maverick), but it's alright. Btw, It's my main machine.
We're doing this at work, and we've weighed many options. Chrome's app mode, Prism, custom xulrunner app, embed IE, custom QtWebKit app; they all work, and with little effort. It's great how many options there are.
The GUI is precisely what I intensely hate about it!
It's silly, useless, breaks TotalFinder, makes my laptop overhead an makes partial restores extremely difficult.
Actually, if they're anything like the E-350, battery life won't be a problem at all. For the performance, the E-350 has great battery life. Even more so for the C-50, which sacrifices some performance for insane battery life (12h playing video on some netbooks).
The UI is indeed very interesting, congratulations for working on it. However, I am reluctant to invest much in WebOS since it's closed source, where Android is not. I'd love HP even more (I already love the dm1z) if they open-sourced WebOS and licensed other manufacturers for the WebOS name.
Yes. And I immediately used the backup hardrive for my OS and the offsite backup for the project code. I know it's hard to be this disciplined, but it really pays.
There are many, many attempts at that, most of them based on XMPP. Onesocialweb is a rather nice one. The problem is the users: They're too lazy to move away from facebook and would probably cry over not having Farmville anyway.
I believe you misunderstood the comment. I believe my grandparent meant that discriminating against people is stupid and harmful, this being a particular example of it harming our society.
Circles vary. Most of my friends have yahoo accounts, and about as many have either facebook or gtalk. It turns out I can talk to almost all of them using just XMPP.
I have successfully reduced my paper book collection to 0 since I got my ebook reader. I think it's great! All my ebooks are backed up excessively, and are much safer than any paper books could ever be.
It'd be nice if libraries carried no paper books, and instead used a printing service for people that can't/won't use a reader. Paper backups are useful too, but I wouldn't have any in my house without good reason.
I have an Efika MX Smartbook (http://www.genesi-usa.com/products/smartbook), without a fan. Barely gets warm most of the time. I can certainly see solar power work for something similar, if it has a sunlight-viewable display like the Pixel Qi ones.
No, you're wrong. If the source is available, then the source is available and that's it. Open Source has additional licensing requirements http://www.opensource.org/
My machine appears to be a pathological case. With no tabs, it's already using 400mb. If I open and close a few tabs, it very quickly grows until about 600mb.

Re Amarok, you might find Clementine interesting.

Don't be a moron.
It's not that complex. NASA has launched much more complex systems.
Also, this one has the potential to last even longer, since it uses a RTG that'll still produce 80% power after 14 years.

BBC's iPlayer does in fact go up to 11.
No, only if the comment hasn't been seen by another user yet. However, my sibling's idea is good. You should be able to append a diff to a comment.

The actual backup functionality is good, though.

Because the actual image isn't in wavelenghts you can see, has crap resolution and often results indirectly from other information.

Look at the numbers on all the indie bundles. Think again.
You're not a typical facebook user.

Not really, at least not at the moment. OS X 10.6, latest Gnome/KDE and Win7 all render text nicely, with a few tweaks.

About benevolent dictators, they don't all require a thick skin. Guido v.R. is a good example of a "softie" BDFL.
While I mostly agree, there is one aspect of physical pain that I would avoid more than psychological pain: permanent, disabling physical damage.
I don't wish to belittle what you went through, but you were lucky. You could've been paralysed for life. I would rate that worse than heartbreak.
And is no true in the slightest, either.

Ubuntu already provides Chromium, not Chrome.
