Geeks are supposed to be, if anything, intellectual
I disagree, geeks should be doers. They should make things, be it overly detailed costumes, or new pieces of electronics. I don't think the hacker ethic is about intellectualism, it's about doing. The intellectual part is a side-effect, and a helper, but it is not a requirement. Maybe I'm wrong to refer to hot-rodders as car geeks though.
I've loved the dual and touch screen on my DS, extra buttons (NSMB stored item for example), and a separation of information from main screen.
Though TV's handle some of this (bigger screen), and I don't think tracking from TC to hand is going to be as convenient.
Also, the wii-mote+ nun-chuck was the best controller ever IMO (that's without motion control or pointing). I really liked my hands 18 inches apart, and angles how I wanted them, rather than some average for everyone (this will kill that though).
Interesting, everyone always told me that's why ground was run as a different company (that when purchased fedex wanted to prevent them from having a union).
UPS is still better than fedex, and is union, but really just goes to show management makes a difference in the end I suppose.
FedEx in my experience plays games holding packages to get things to you at the amount of time you asked, and will ship 3-day to 150 miles away.
UPS will not let you pick a slower service than what ground takes (next day within about 400 miles), and I far more often get packages a day earlier than the service would allow.
From what I can tell, neither FedEx ground nor FedEx have a union, so I don't know why I thought that. FedEx Ground just randomly sucks.
Never used time machine myself either, so I don't really know, I do think pdumpfs would work on a mac anyway though, as it's a pretty simple ruby program.
What I like about our set-up is users can self-restore any state from overnight, going back to the start of the week (and then every-other week for around 3 months).
It saves being involved in a massive accidental delete, or in the case of, oh shit, I need what I had yesterday, or if a file corrupts (Quark Express has had issues with massively linked files in the past for us).
The Linux Raid 10 driver is pretty cool though. Supports lots of nifty things (for example you can say I want 3 copies of all data in the 13 disk array, and you'd get 1/3 the storage of the 13 disks, with 3 copies of all of your data.
After reading baarf, I've always gone with the raid-10 driver in Linux. Storage in the end, has always been cheap for my needs (under a few terrabytes).
I would add that if it is possible at all, get the "tape" drive slightly bigger than the file storage, depending on file churn even 10% should work (this can mean doing some as simple as not using the entire 3TB available, and instead using 2.5TB).
The extra space should allow the backup to be daily (or maybe even hourly) snapshots (I would guess time machine on a mac for this, though I use pdumpfs which is python I think, so it outta work too).
Where I am, cron runs daily, creating a new folder for the day and setting it read only, the backup itself is mounted, so that somebody can grab previous versions of a file that's been currupted, or accidently deleted.
Where I ab we have 500 GB of files on the server, with a 1TB set of backup drives. They take about 3 months to fill, and one is kept off site most of the time, but periodically synced to the backup drive that stays in, when they fill, new ones are dropped in, and the old ones stored and dated.
The easy user restore (browsing a folder) makes things nice.
Also, I don't know if you were counting raid 10 as a greater than five, but I'm a pretty big fan, in Linux the driver is very cool, allowing for 50% usage of 3 disk arrays, and even with only 2 disks, using the "far" setting I saw dramatic speed-up of reads with very little slow-down of writes vs raid 1.
As a consumer I am paying for the quick comparison.
If AA wants to charge less through their own site, then maybe I will check it, but almost always it's cheaper and easier to book through orbitz or travelocity (not always though, and the through the airline tickets are usually easier to reschedule).
The airlines get enough government help that I don't really mind them being forced to let me comparison shop.
That's about what I first used, I remember it being pretty easy to install, there was some mild PITA about having a Mitsumi CD drive, but it wasn't bad.
The problem I kept having was with the sound, I'd screw it up somehow futzing about, and the only way to get to the easy soundcard set-up I could do was to re-install (well, later I learned it was sndconfig or something that ran during install).
This eventually lead me to SUSE as they let you use the install program (yast, it was a pretty nice console app) even after the install, it made fixing much better, they also released drivers for X that they developed, but would not release to the public for six months, so it had better support for my graphics card too.
I found that the theme of huge price jumps amongst commercial distros kept me on debian, and even off Linux for a while, but I settled on Ubuntu with 7.04, which I think was the most exciting Linux realese ever, it showed things moving so fast vs just a few months earlier, sometimes around 8.04 it started to slow down again (not saying it was all Ubuntu, or even that they were the best, it was the products they incorporated getting better quickly, things like hardware support, graphics improvements, compiz, and KDE4 if one didn't actually use it). Things didn't feel like the year of the Linux Desktop or whatever, but I thing in that time frame ('06-'08) Linux went from good enough desktop environment, with other perks, to as good a desktop environment as Windows or Mac, with other perks.
I don't think things are getting worse, but as a desktop user, I don't think there will ever be a jump like that again, as now that it's as good as anything else, it's too hard to benchmark like that.
The video amuses me, as it's 10 minutes in, and he's still futzing with DOS, bootable CDs have really changed things.
Birth kde sets are fairly their own, with the desktop one most like windows pre seven.
Gnome three was completely it's own thing when I last tried it.
Gnome two was perhaps an updated take on os 9, maybe, but again I'd say it was more it's own thing.
Unity is closest to os x, but also is quite different.
Unity makes default old apple features (menu at top), and the dock is fairly similar to os x, and the button placement, but it still looks and feels fairly different (window snapping, and multiple desktops being front and center).
Honestly, windows 7 may be my favorite window manager and panel at the moment, followed by gnome two with compiz, but kde 4.6 started to make me rethink that, and unity isn't bad.
Windows' lack of always on top is a bummer, but the new dock/task bar is really fantastic. If unity's starts to work like that I will probably favor it (there's a few rely stupid bits to injury too, but over all, I like it, I think we are in a desktop golden age, with apple being the one that's behind.
I haven't watched the old who, but in the new one they both are stuck looking strait out of 70's si-fi, and it cheapens the look of the whole episode IMO.
Both act a little too annoying too. Like the borg, but with really annoying voices, and no personality.
I think it actually switched to LGPL a few years ago, making it equivalent to GTK in that regard.
The GPL version still required closed source apps to pay for a commercial license, and precluded non GPL compatible open source licenses from being written.
I don't think it was truly an equal option for a library until '09.
I really like that their physical keyboards consistently have decent quality buttons, separation between the keys, and letters placed diagonally below each other.
The grid style keyboard layouts always mess me up.
The G1 had the best keyboard on any device I've ever used. The Nexus One is a great phone, and the G2 has a good battery life and a decent keyboard.
Motorola doesn't have any quality phones on T-Mobile, and lied about updates (Cliq XT).
I don't know that I would say I'm an HTC loyalist, but I am unlikely to buy another brand, being burned by Motorola, and not feeling great about Samsung in general.
I feel about HTC the way I used to feel about Nokia when I first had a phone. My first 3 phones were Nokia's and I thought they were all great build quality and decent value. I've now owned three HTC phones and feel the same way.

When the kernel is updated, it's nice to be able to fix the driver.

I think a good examlple of the reverse is fedex.
Their express service is fantastic, courteous, and union.
Their ground service constantly fucks up, acts like assholes, and in non-union.
The grround service is specifically kept as a separate company to avoid the union, and it is terrible.

When he was captured? Or with the bells and guns did he warn them?
Check your mods, I bet they were un done.
Which is kind of the point.
If you made the effort to log out, they still exist though

Not what the police said to my friend with a trunk full of liquor for his wedding.
I'm still waiting on their LS-120 support before I give it a whirl.
That's about what I first used, I remember it being pretty easy to install, there was some mild PITA about having a Mitsumi CD drive, but it wasn't bad.

Doesn't unity use compiz?
Isn't their a child doctor (well the non-twist interpretation was Amy and Rorey's altered by the TARDIS) currently?
They really don't need a stand-in for the space-suit murder at all. That child could have the doctors memories, and go.
I find both the Daleks and the Cyber Men silly.

I think there is is potential for WP7 integrated is Live.
There's a lot of Xbox and Hotmail users, and I know the Google integration is what will keep me on Android unless something really unforeseen happens.

Links is still the best wifi isp.
Based on your post it sounds like organic corn farmers are screwed. They can't sell their premium product after putting more expense into things.
Yes, english language fail.

I like HTC for a few reasons.
