If you telnet into your current Zaurus with a cracked screen, you may at least retrieve some of the information stored on it. If you crack an "intelligent screen" upon which the PDA itself depends, well, you're hosed.
So then, what happens when I crack the screen? Time for an all-new Zaurus?
Wait a tick... that's bloody brilliant on Sharp's part!
I'm going to work on getting Sony and Nintendo to start integrating processing functionality into their controllers. Then, when somebody gets pissed and breaks one, they'll have to buy a whole new console!
We're not a democracy. Why can't people seem to understand this? We are a Representative Republic; we're a Union of States, not an affiliation of voters. You want direct democracy on a scale that somewhat works, invent a time machine and go live in Athens. Otherwise, try to understand your governmental system and stop whining.
Oh, and Congress represents the people; the Senate represents the States.
How would moving to a popular voting system change the way campaigns work? Would it not, in a popular system, be far more efficient to campaign in areas of high population density in order to draw a greater number of popular votes in a lesser amount of time?
Moving to a popular system doesn't do squat for the rural farmers in Montana, any more than the current system does.
"Flyover" states would remain as such and there's jack-all anyone could do about it.
Bah, who cares? The report's authored by the French! Those cheese-eatin' surrender monkeys put an author on trial recently for stating in public that he thought Islam was the "stupidest religion" or somesuch, so I'm hesitant to even begin feeling chastised.

Play some Super Monkey Ball 1/2, Virtua Fighter 4, Sega Soccer Slam, or Sega Sports Tennis, then come back and post that comment again. I dare ya.
There's not much that's more fun (at least when it comes to video games) than getting three friends together and playing Monkey Fight 2 for a couple of hours.
No, this means that Epic has an ex-Loki employee now who did the porting to Linux in his spare time. There has been talk of an OSX port, but once again, processor architecture requirements are going to be a hangup (unlike the Intel-only port to Linux).

"Patch almost everything without reboot"? Errrm, SP3? Office SPs? IE updates? Media player? Anything that's from Microsoft? Last I checked, every bloody one of those required a reboot...
Non-MS software can usually be "patched" sans-reboot, although I've noticed a distrubing trend in games to force/reccommend a reboot after an install/patch procedure.
But then there's that nasty little trend that has been going 'round the legal circles as of late, whereby, since the Internet "extends" into any and all states with connections to the 'net (read: every friggin' state), then, by extension, any and all actions you perform online are, in fact, comitted in each and every state simultaneously.
Luckily, the courts system has (for the most part) seen through this ruse, thus far.
But to be safe, the story's author might want to look into obtaining hosting in Sealand.

Wow. A bit harsh, dontcha think?
You must've bought Rez too, huh?
Yeah, it was almost like some bad Jerry Bruckheimer movie, wasn't it?
I do believe you're referring to John Quincy Adam's election, wherein he didn't win the popular vote but carried the EC as well.

Reminds me of that bad, bad Helen Keller Joke:

Yeah, but I bet you the orange car would still cheat every 4th race or so.

Then why did you rip King's X and Van Halen?
Couldn't you find your copy of Hocus Pocus by Focus or that Golden Earring album?
They do if you buy them from the Sharper Image.

I'd love for you to lay out why you think that FoTR "SUCKS MAJOR". How would you have changed it to make it more faithful to the book?
The only things that readily come to mind are: 1) putting Arwen in her proper place and 2) actually featuring Tom Bombadill and the Barrowwights.
But those two issues hardly constitute enough to make a movie MAJORLY SUCK...
Besides, then you can get said enemy all scared about aliens and stuff. That's always good.
Yeah, 'cause it worked in Spies Like Us, right?
No no, this is ludacris.
