What the hell are you talking about? I said NOTHING about vulnerabilities. Perhaps it is your prejudices that are showing.
Silverlight fails at cross platform use, and can break previously working and unrelated software when installed. Moonlight is a half implementation of Silverlight that cant even get its errors right. Applets and javascript play nicely in comparison, though javascript is a pain in the ass with its browser incompatibility issues.
Also aware, I don't think you can get through a legitimate CS degree program without having Therac-25 pounded into your head. The two deaths in that case are few compared to the number of people who are sickened or die from contaminated drinking water.
Play dwarf fortress. Have fun having your throat ripped out by the first wolf pack you encounter and drowning in your own blood. No respawns, no resurrections, you just die.
I really wish slashdot allowed me to edit posts. I swear the ability to submit without preview is almost as big a pain in the rear as waiting for preview was. remove the first 3 from the above post and replace the second one with a "c" for revision c beagle board.
Buy a 3 beagle board and strap it to the back of an LCD. Revision 3 has pinouts for direct lcd connection, other versions have dvi output through an hdmi jack. You then have exactly what you are looking for. You could probably even do it for $200 (using revision c, a small cheap lcd and a case crafted from spare parts).
So you are one of the few lucky ones to actually get their hands on one? I am planning on waiting till they can guarantee a delivery date before I order one. That battery life does sound a bit disappointing though. I am not sure but I think the second battery is in the keyboard module, did you have the full touchbook or just the tablet part when you only got the 2 hour battery life?
I don't know if I was lucky or what, but I had a win98 machine running uninterrupted for almost 2 years with no crashes or failures of any kind. Then I got hit by the BSOD (Blue Smoke Of Death). Woke up in the middle of the night for some unknown reason and looked at my computer, saw a bright blue flash and a puff of acrid smoke and everything ground to a halt.
You think thats bad, they just moved me to a badly lit closet in the basement, completely surrounded by boxes. And someone took my red swingline stapler.
More or less, I agree with this. But then, I generally think that 95% (insert some random percent close to 100) of patents are worthless crap that should not be patentable anyway.
You could say the same thing about the home computer before 1980, the acorn atom and sinclair zx80 were only available in kit form. And before that, much more self fabrication was required.
Right now, you can:
A: build it yourself with hobby parts. B: wait till someone makes a big enough investment to get mass production off the ground. C: try to scrounge up enough capital to get it going yourself. These guys are doing just that http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/home/index.htm

he said GOOD alternatives. Silverlight and Moonlight are not.
Whatever happened to applets and javascript?

I am aware, they also get paid twice as much, and people can loose their homes or even die if a plumber screws it up.

Ok?

I'll be happy if all of those are true... and I can install my own god damn linux distro on it.
Plumber-Software engineeer?
Are you telling me it is like a series of tubes?
Is my sarcasm detector out of batteries? I can not tell if that is good humor or ironic ignorance.
Hey, I am from Mississippi and I resemble that remark! I used to say half joking that I lived in a 3rd world county.
red of course.
It definitely does come apart considering they charge an extra $100 for the keyboard half.

Meets all requirements.
It also have about a quarter the cpu performance of a typical netbook for the same price range.
But at least my machine was backwards compatible with the "halt and catch fire" command from the motorola 6800.

insightful is the mod you are looking for, but now neither of us can make that mod.

You can describe a mathematical formula in almost any language. It is still a mathematical formula even if not defined rigorously in a formal proof.
Probably? Reworked? All algorithms are already mathematical formulas.
Don't forget that the ponies inspired a ground breaking innovative RPG by the makers of D&D.

Accepted, I also found this while looking:
