Forget getting an old version of Linux you can get a modern slim version like Puppy or DSL and run it on some very old hardware we are talking stuff that can't even run XP.
"Linux is almost as bad when it comes to memory bloat." Bullshit! Linux manage memory very well depending on the hardware. The desktop environment is also a factor but Linux is extremely modular so you can trim the fat to a bare bone desktop GUI that will run pretty damn fast on half to 1/4 of a gig of ram. Bellow 128mb you might have trouble running any sort of Linux at least with a GUI.
Don't fill the landfill with those old box that are still working perfectly fine get some slick up to date and secure Linux distro. Since it old hardware maybe a slim Xfce flavour.
That kind of private negotiation between two businessmen is more frequent than you could think. Peoples usually get more done when they don't have an army of lawyers in the room wasting everybody time but racking up their own bill! It easier and faster to make a deal then tell your lawyers to iron out the details after the fact. Put two person in a room and they likely come to any agreement way faster than 12 that the bane of the jury system now imagine if you have 24 instead of 12 or even 36.
Except Itunes can you name any other serious digital store that still working out of a local client. It all mostly cloud based and it been that way since more than half a decade ago. And since almost semi recent Apple devices have wifi except maybe the shuffle why should you need to run a local client on a PC or a Mac to sync files anyway? Are you telling me the itunes team can't code a simple sync to samba share app.
So by fear of looking bad if the idea turn out to be a flop this Jaffe dude will always be known as the douchebag who killed the life size USS Enterprise project!
Yeah you might as well ask when GIMP is going to catch up with Photoshop. It ain't happening folks! Don't get me wrong I love and almost exclusively use the GNU Image Manipulation Program but the project is hurting for support.
When you see how many times Star Trek series reuse the same damn scripts I can see why one unused scripts could have value in the future. Provided that CBS get off their lazy ass and produce new Star Trek series!
I can see more than a few business adjusting their prices just so they can round up most cash transaction in their favours not the small business because it will not be worth it but supermarket, walmart and all the big retailers who make millions of small transaction every day. With the right software and maybe some social market simulation it going to be very easy for them to game us out of billions, two or one pennies at a time.
Yeah maybe some congressman just to make fun of that bill should put an amendment requiring Military recruiters to warn about PTSD and the suicide rate of former soldiers!
1: You're not there to baby-sit so if you got kids make sure you don't end up watching them instead of working.
2: Same goes for the TV it not a good idea to have one in your home office at least when you start.
3: Having a beer at the office might sound cool but at eight in the morning you might develop a problem!
4: Make a schedule and stick to it because when working at home it even easier to say. "Am just going to finish that later tonight!" You won't trust me!
5: Make a schedule and stick to it because when working at home it even easier to burn yourself to death by saying. "Hey I finish that now even if I have to work all night I can always take Friday off!" You won't because some other shit will come up it always does!
6: Set the ground rule with your boss or clients. The fact that you're working at home does not mean that you are on call 24/7 make that clear or you can expect calls at 3AM regularly!
Stupid question why do they need broadband Internet anyway? Seriously it a scientific outpost If it just a matter of collecting and sending out data how hard could it be to bring bigger hard drive? Or maybe they plan on just being unmanned soon. You setup your hardware to record whatever the hell you wanted to record and beam all that data to the sat so that all year long you can analyse it on your laptop, drinking Margaritas on a beach in Costa Rica!
I got one (Acer Iconia a500) and I found that it did take the place of my laptop for mobility sake. I don't think desktop computing is in any danger but laptop could really be squeezed in the middle. I does make a killer comic book reader.
That and pretending that you're working while even if you are with a client neither of you want or give a shit about talking shop! Golf is not the lone activity that can get you out of the office while still being on the clock, Strip Club, Convention, "Training"!

Yeah they might as well say "in the mainframe" or "on the rack"! It pretty much the same thing.

Yeah right because Windows never ever phone home! loll And if you believe that I got some swamp land to sell you.
Thank god the 8 inch floppy is way before my time! But I do remember the 5 and 3.5 inch I also remember using data cassette with an Adam.
One need to wonder if this crazy idea came out of the Miskatonic University! lolll

You gave your name and address to Facebook!
And or a cursed weapon preferably plus five at least!

It is April Fools tomorrow after all!

Apple rules only apply to authors who don't sell bazillion of books. The Tolkien estate and Rowling have the clout to set their own rules.

And you cannot bring big enough hard drives for the 5 month when the planes can't reach the place. Come on they don't shoot HD Porn up there do they?
