Just make sure you get a monitor that works well in potrait. Many (even those that come with stands that swivel to portrait) look like shit in portrait mode. Something about the eyes seeing it at slightly different angles.
I'm not sure what spec to look for when finding a portrait-friendly screen, perhaps someone can enlighten me.
Well, since they only have to drive 1080p at 60Hz with most of the shaders turned off, they don't need near as much processing power as hardcore gamers running dual 1920's at 120Hz with all the options turned up to 11 with their music player, teamspeak and a web browser with item maps and strategy guides all going in the background.
Consoles never have been and probably never will be as powerful as a serious gaming rig.
Heck, Infamous (1 or 2, don't remember which) doesn't even show a start menu, it just loads directly into game and starts you in a safe location in case you're getting something from the kitchen while it loads.
Now Assassin's Creed on the other hand... Sweet Jesus it took me 10 minutes just to figure out how to quit the PC version the first time.
For those of us that DON'T look at Microsoft licensing models (mainly because we don't buy after-market software from them), what other model are you referring to?
If it's like any of the other Microsoft installation limits I've run into, you just call the support number, they ask you why you're installing multiple times, and you tell them you fixed the computer because you the repair shop replaced your motherboard and hard drive. They are pretty reasonable in practice.
The fact that people consider this reasonable still boggles my mind. If ford required you to phone them and re-activate your stereo every time you replaced your spark plugs, there would be a fucking media storm so big their stocks would drop faster than an f-150 driven off a cliff!
You're assuming that you will only be able to purchase physical, ship-able things. I'm sure you'll also be able to buy virtual gift cards, WoW subscriptions, cell phone plans, game purchases, iTunes, stocks, etc. With the current (you must give the companies your CC number), only the companies you have done business with can take your money. With the twitter thing, ANY business that does transactions over twitter could potentially take your money (or people use your money to get stuff from them).
You'd be surprised how often Stallman's name appears in a Man page for something REALLY useful in Linux. The only reason you don't hear about more recent projects from him is because a lot of the stuff he's written follows the UNIX ideology of giving people a lot of really small tools that can be combined in unique and useful ways.
Granted none of the stuff his name appears on works outside of the terminal, but 50% of my day in Linux is spent in a terminal because I do embedded development. The guy's tools just work, which is great.
Not directly, but many of them contain bindings for running in GUI frameworks. gdb is a good example.

Handbrakes are linear devices. Besides, he was in a car modified for a physical disability, so who knows if it even HAD one.
I am in Canada and know someone who has had many seizures (2 or 3 a year) and he has a license.

GAH, yes, forgot about that. Need to practice some more regex apparently...
The idea is to make them less valuable and thus less of a target. Not sure if this has worked.
This may surprise you, but just because a newer model is available doesn't mean a device is no longer useful.
Then again, the ^'s sprinkled around seem to imply the opposite.
Seeing as some have .* at the start and end, it strongly implies that it must match the entire line.
Or drop the name of an important and probably well-connected uncle.
Funny, the "paying member" icon seems to be missing from your name. Might want to file a bug report. But point taken.
Haha, I just pictured Microsoft putting out an X-Box update that changes the UI to a metro grid and a million geeks screaming out in agony.

Unenforceable != Illegal. They won't even sue you, they'll just make it "not work".

Twitter had a huge account-compromising break in, what, a MONTH ago? And now they want us to trust them with our credit history?!?
An order of magnitude of 8 is not pedantry.
He was talking about the raid controller firmware, not the bios firmware, though you may still have a point.
WTF, kindergarten has homework now?

Never used emacs, but it may be more beneficial for that to have been a lesson to use version control instead of a lesson to not use emacs.
Sorry, but if removing the battery or otherwise resetting the NVRAM to factory defaults resolves the issue, that's not even remotely "bricked".
Non-Volatile Random Access Memmory
Look up the first part and you'll figure out why removing the battery won't fix it.
