I want a note book with 40hr batter life. In days of yore I used a psion with a full keyboard and small LCD. Great battery life.
I have all the components except I need a screen. I'm looking for a either a 1024x768 or 80x24/25 character lcd. B+W is OK. It must have low power drain. Preferrably 14" at least. Where do I find such a beast?
I would have a low power CPU (arm), 4GB SSD, 1GB RAM, screen, clicky keyboard. All bashed into a cutom CNC cut case. Running off 4 C or D cells.
Currently I have an emate but it's days are numbered.
I grew up with lego and it really helped with learning to program,even more so with OO. But meccano is the stuff of real engineers.
FWIW, James May from TopGear has a great series on boys toys. It's available on YouTube. The Meccano episode has him give the sets to children and ask for them to build a crane. The results have him comment that the nation is lost:-) The other episodes are equally good.
Check out HALO jumps for the use of this thing. Basically, normal plane files up to restricted air space and does a hard turn. Crazy military types bail out and using the momentum from the turn are flung into restricted air space. They then free fall below terrain level before opening chute e.g. into a valley. This means they could probably get further from the departure point. Also they can avoid the sides of the valley which seems to be a problem currently.
What I'm wondering if these things have a throttle? If so is a landing possible without chute?
So when was the last time a candidate was elected with the majority of the eligible vote? Candidates are elected when they have more votes than anyone else, very, very rarely is this in anyway a majority choice.
Laws are written by special interests with little or no regard as to what the majority view is.
Society is many things but one thing it is not is defined by it's electoral process. Categorized maybe, but not defined.
Good/Evil are entirely subjective ideas. That means they are only applicable to the person holding the idea. The good/evil of a law is only determinable by the individual. You may think a law is evil but I might the law is good, now which of us is correct/right? You, me, neither, both?
Privacy is a fallacy. There is no physical object in your life that is completely yours, not even your body. It is doubtful you have had an original idea that you have not communicated. So you have no belongings and no ideas, what exactly are you keeping private and why?
There are numerous cages erected around you. Some like the law are easy to recognize. Some are hidden such as traditions/manners are hidden in plain view. Now if you just wish to be free how do you begin? You can try breaking every cage you know about, that is both futile and pointless. Far better to think, to recognize and to understand.
Laws are neither good nor evil. It's a persons perspective that attaches good and evil. It is also worth bearing in mind how laws are created and how they are enforced. In short, the law is not there to protect you but to cage you.
'User Privacy?'
There is no such thing as privacy the sooner people understand this the sooner you can see what a childish concept it is.
'You are in prison and don't know it.'
The size of the cage is limited by the size of your mind. If you wish to be caged then you will be.
The correlation between the stories of Jesus/Rah/Buddha/Krishna etc is to strong to be anything but fabrication. One religion capitalizing on the history of another. Unless you are stating that the virgin birth, crucification, resurrection etc are historical truths?
While the direct worship of the sun is not acknowledged in the modern day Christian church it's traditions and architecture point explicitly to sun worship.
There is very little linking modern Christianity with the teachings of Jesus. Pauline Christianity has no direct link to Jesus. The Roman Catholic Church was based on Pauline Christianity.
There was me thinking that Christianity was just some sun worship cult. But your post seems to say that's not the case. In fact it's based on other religions, who happened to be sun worship cults. That cleared it up for me.

All swapping/paging is automatic apps do not control it. You do not malloc. You do not access to disk or memory but access storage. The OS handles it from there. Single level storage. Yes it is revolutionary and has been since the System/38 was introduced.
Out of memory? You obviously failed to comprehend my previous post. The idea is that disk and memory are one and the same to the applications. Single level storage addressed exactly the same way. It can be made to run out of storage but you have to be malicious in intent to do so.
Machine Down? It's been over ten years since I experienced an AS/400 going down when not scheduled to. In fact our current box only goes down for hardware upgrades. Apps go down for OS upgrades but the box doesn't. In short it rivals mainframes for reliability.
Refurb hardware? Are you nuts! If it didn't come new from IBM it doesn't even get into the same room as the machine.
So in short. Your post was riddled with mistakes and totally missed the point of the parent. I wonder if you even know what a B5000 was?
In the early 80s there was this funny machine called a System/38 from IBM that morphed in the AS/400 that is now called an iSeries. Now this machine was a RDBMS engine with simple green screens attached.
Under the covers the System/38 was a cisc box, the AS/400 could be CISC or RISC and the iSeries is all risc. From an app dev point the same compiled object code could run on all three. Stop and think about for a second.
Now the System/38 had a very advanced constraint based security system. For example you could use an object that you could not see. But in general is allowed for very fine grain control of security. Of course this has been improved throught to the iSeries.
Also, this machine had a single address space for all storage. An app didn't need to worry about memory size, the machine automatically used ram as disk and disk as ram.
Of course this machine has had a life of 30+ years and most OS designers have zero idea about just how revolutionary it is same sort of thing as the MCP for a Burroughs B5000. People who do not know history are doomed to repeat it over and over again.
I was just going to play around with it a bit, I've used the CyKey before and liked that but the bat is just a backup. If I get serious I'll rip out the electronics and put my own keyboard logic and usb/bluetooth hardware.
I seriously doubt I'll use it more than a handful of times before selling it on.
This sorta ties in with my new years' resolution, to learn to touch type after 20+ years as a professional programmer!
I have a couple of the HHKII one for home one for work. But this and every other normal keyboard is too small for my hands and requires me to move my hands when typing.
So I'm looking to change, my new standard keyboard should arrive today and then I'm looking to change it to dvorak layout. Big keys plenty of space and most importantly the keys are all staggered the way my hands lay on the keyboard on a normal keyboard the Q,W,E and R keys require my left hand to move to the left off the home keys.
Bandwidth is limited by how quickly we can switch the state of the entangled particle. I'm figuring we've only just begun to look at this and a many fold increase is possible.

Agreed,
give me a HHK with buckling springs and powered hubs.
I'd buy one in a flash.
I have two of the Unicomps at the moment and I'm just waiting to take a band saw to one of them.
Yes indeed,

Do not trust rts008 obviously a shallow scam artist.
Rather give to the charity I represent "Computers Against Social Harm", CASH for short.
Just send me a check for CASH and I'll make sure it's put to good use.
Doubtful they'd show up.

Those romans always trying to be in charge.
Actually it has far more interest for druids etc.
Sort of like Christmas being near another pagan day.

All anarchy means is the lack of a government.
Sounds like freedom to me.
You'll shoot your eye out kid.
Firstly, they went for the mentally ill, I wasn't mentally ill so I remained silent
Secondly, they went for the homosexuals, I wasn't homo sexual so I remained silent
Thirdly, they went for the jews, I wasn't jewish so I remained silent
Lastly, they came for me and nobody spoke in my defense
You don't quite understand the whole race/religion thing, do you?
Yes but your glasses have just gone all opaque.
I was just going to play around with it a bit, I've used the CyKey before and liked that but the bat is just a backup. If I get serious I'll rip out the electronics and put my own keyboard logic and usb/bluetooth hardware.

Big keys plenty of space and most importantly the keys are all staggered the way my hands lay on the keyboard on a normal keyboard the Q,W,E and R keys require my left hand to move to the left off the home keys.
I've also picked up a dual BAT keyboard on ebay just to try.
If all of the above fails, unlikely, I'll be buying a large number of cherry mechanical switches and building my own keyboard with a dvorak layout.
Does anyboard have supply for individual buckling spring switches?
Bandwidth is limited by how quickly we can switch the state of the entangled particle. I'm figuring we've only just begun to look at this and a many fold increase is possible.
The issue is not that upstream can be fixed but that you are still tied to a single provider.
