However the more interactivity that is called for, the less useful they are. When you get to content creation, and by this I mean even simple things like writing an e-mail, they are not very good.
Depends on the type of content you want to create. There are pretty nice "virtual instruments UI layouts" (harmonic tables, janko keyboard emulator etc.) for tablets. Multi touch is pretty useful in music, while the standard computer keyboard can only handle max 4-5 simultaneous keypresses. They're a low-cost alternative for Haken Continuum pads as well. So these tablets offer a reconfigureable interface for music instruments, which is unprecedented in history.
I think if you got together many of the technical thinkers of our time and asked them who the 20 best computer innovators were, Gates would have a hard time on that list...
1, Still after the death of Stalin the personality cult started to center about the new leaders (it did in Hungary e.g.) Krushev failed to reform the system. 2, Holomodor was a man made "catastrophe" (genocide, if you like it better that way), it didn't have anything to do with the stock market crash, so I don't see a reason to dismiss it, even when it was in the '30ies.
You said:"I'm not so sure they would make the sacrifices needed to go kick Hitler's ass, unless it was somehow threatening their consumeristic lifestyle. "
You said as well:"And how/why the US got there doesn't change the fact that, as you state, without them, we would all be speaking German in Europe."
Well, a Japanese invasion would have threatened the US consumeristic lifestyle, wouldn't it?
Anonymous has a well known history of cyber-bullying (do you like pizza and strippers?), vandalizing myspace and facebook pages etc. even though it might not qualify as DDossing.

Where I live vocational work will get you minimal wage ($400 a month; I have two masons in the family), and all foreign companies require Bsc. That's Hungary, Eastern-Europe. And tuition is free. (for 9 semesters for a Bsc degree; going to masters you get 4 additional free semesters)

Well that's true for the pope as well ...
Give me cancer or give me death ... oh wait!

1, cult of personality? Have you heard about Stalin? And there was some even after him.
2, famine: look up Holomodor
You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
Giant centipedes in my ecosystem? More likely than you think!
And this is the reason I use both FF and Chrome. However copy-paste doesn't always work with Chrome, especially with Slashdot.
Agree. FF2 was really terribly slow. FF3 was big improvement.
It would have been funny on my planet.
WebM is opensource (and grants use of its patents for free), so there's a bit of difference here. They're not pushing proprietary technology.
Yeah, that's excactly what I was complaining about, that libertarians are appropriating EFF.
They had no problem with China :)
Peikoff is the current leader of the Ayn Rand institute. Nuff said.

tl;dr: OMG you're an imperialist nazi
Did EFF ever campaign for cutting social services? Did EFF ever said they're libertarians?

Maybe it's you who should read the context ...
Shoudn't it rathe rather be a reality show?
It depends on the country he lives in how long and what amount he gets ...
Yeah, divorced people totally deserve it ... and the gay too ...
Sarcasm can be a form of wisdom as well.
