Nah, arch on a thinkpad. 12 hours of battery means I can sit wherever I want without an outlet and just plug the sucker in overnight. Even sticking between 20% and 80% charge, I can get at least 6 hours of coding, surfing and e-mail without breaking a sweat.
If you're not worried about being mobile, then just about any desktop will work, just give us a decent resolution monitor and a non-chicklet keyboard with a number pad.
Try shortening and reducing your emails. The best thing to do is split all information into 3 categories. A) What a person doesn't know they need to know B) What a person knows they need to know C) What a person doesn't need to know.
Only stuff from category A should be send via e-mail. Everything in B and C you throw on a wiki, bug tracker, reference docs, etc so they can look it up themselves when they need it (instead of when you decide to send it). The only exception is a quick 1 line e-mail saying "the informatin regarding FOO you have been waiting for is now available at BAR" with a link to the resource.
Not only does this keep the e-mail volume low (and increase the chances that your employees get the information they need), it will also help centralise and enforce your documentation instead of fracturing it among 10 employee inboxes.
Sorry about that, the tube that goes to my computer is a little small, so the mail has to take turns going one way or the other. Once the incoming emails slow down, the outgoings ones will get a chance to leave.
Tesla inventy plenty of things (and dreamed of plenty more), but I don't recall anything regarding an "aimed" lightning bolt you could fire at nothing in particular (no oppositely charged or neutral target to attract the arc).
By definition, a latent bug is one you don't know about, so why would you be more worried about a pre-existing unknown bug than you are about a new unknown bug? You're actually probably better off with the existing one since there is a better chance it is documented with a work-around, the new one will probably be a while before a fix is released.
Assuming that happended (thinking the other was holding paper), one of them would invariable react to the "rock" a little quicker than the other (becoming paper), and the other (which had not yet made a move) would take scissors and win. And once again, the "last" player wins.
Well, if you only sell bicycles, pogo sticks and jump ropes, you may have a solid defence there. Of course there will always be at least 1 handicapped person trying to buy a pogo stick for their niece, so your mileage may vary.
There's a law in the states that citizens are not required to carry identification. Thus all a foreigner has to do is state that they are a resident and there's not much an officer can do about it.
And how is an upgrade supposed to fix that? If you're talking about slow os corruption, then simply creating a backup mirror of everything but the data (which is backed up separately) would be even better.
Actually, upon further reading, it looks like efilinux is replacing Grub2 and will load the OS kernel directly from efilinux. So basically, they're just adopting a new boot loader and getting it's binary signed.
You do know that every time a digit gets added to the id length, it increases the time number of users with that many digits by 10 right? In fact, my account is nearly 2 and a half years old.
Oh, and if you're going to call someone a troll because of having a 7-digit id, try not doing it as AC...
Did you even RTFS. They specifically stated that this was a non-quantum based alternative to quantumly entangled bits.
In fact, YOUR statement was wrong. Then entire POINT of the dual-resistor with unknown voltage/current system is to create a system where you don't have to "hope" nobody intercepted it, you KNOW if someone did. Now instead of insulting people that are trying to explain something to you, why don't you actually READ the summary of the article you claim to understand and leave the real work to us "not terribly bright" folks.
Sheet music is not something you can "discover", it is something you can "create". Factual data is something that is the same no matter how you express it.
Take the following made-up-by-me copyrightable housing listing:
"I am selling my green 2-bathroom house on 12345 main street for $500,000".
If you were to copy-paste that onto another website, I (or slashdot if I had agreed to give them copyright) could sue you. If you extracted the DATA into a database (or some other data storage system like this:
Color: green
bathrooms: 2
address: 12345 main streent
price: $500,000
Then I would NOT be able to sue you because everything there is a simple provable fact.
Where it gets fun is that if you were to use an algorithm (or a basement full of writters) to take that factual data and reword it into something like:
"There is a $500,000 house for sale at 12345 main street with 2 bathrooms and green exterior walls"
and a 3rd website copied THAT word-for-word then technically YOU can sue THEM, but I can't because it contains YOUR creative content, not just facts/data.
If all they are using is the price, the location, a few details (house color, number of bathrooms, etc) and a link to the original posting, none of that is copyrightable unless they copy the descriptions word-for-word. If they are simply saving details into a database and presenting it in their own original layout, then copyright was not broken because everything they have shown you is factual data.
OSX hasn't run on anything but x86 and AMD64 since they adopted the name "OSX". iOS does, but I doubt there's nearly as much in common between those two as most people think.
The ABI doesn't just have to change with the kernel, it also needs to change as new hardware comes out. For instance, if someone invented a hologram projector, the ABI would have to be updated to handle the new protocol that would be pushed over the new hologram-out plug on the new video cards.
The next time you visit Disneyland, or Disneyworld, be sure to thank them for helping to pave the road to copyright hell. They were among the first influential people to begin lobbying congress for extended copyright laws, and other stupid shit.
And ironically, a substantial part of Disney's success owes itself to recycling material already in the public domain and then copyrighting the remake indeffinitely.

What part of a wheelchair (other than maybe the tube INSIDE the tire) do bicycles have?

That's probably just to offset the fact that we pay close to (if not more than) double for those plans that our southern neighbours.

You're making a VERY big assumption that the updates are fixing more bugs than they are introducing.

It's called "descriptive audio" and has been available in many places for over a decade.

That *still* makes cloud services a bad idea for your SQL server, since the SQL server is where those "offline transactions" will be stored.

Right, because this old system he's looking to upgrade probably runs on SSD drives...

According to the summary, probably not.
