>If she is going to be running simulations....
Then she will run them on the cluster. Do you really think that some dinky laptop is going to be able to deal with simulations? (and by dinky I mean anything that is not a compute cluster)
Your not going to do simulations on your laptop. Not now not ever. That's why scientists have compute clusters.
Sorry but that's a ridiculous reason to get a specific laptop. You may code , you will run presentations, you will right papers and use LaTex, you will use email, you will probably use something like skype. But you will not be running simulations and data analysis on your laptop, those will run on a something with real computational power. She doen't need anything special. but to make sure she doesn't look the fool, she should probably get a Mac since that's what most of the people around her will be using.
I love the disposable laptop society. Me I got a Macbook Pro late 2012 with the top end i7 and the matte screen because someone spilled their coffee and broke their keyboard. 23 dollars later (and about a million tiny screws) I had a new laptop in perfect working order.
Wait, just because they don't have them doesn't mean they don't need them. Here in RI they are required to have them but Uber says no they are "ride sharing".
You know I am getting tired of this anti government rhetoric. Since when in your life has the FCC ever done anything that caused you more harm then the ISP's
And tell me how hurt are the phone companies from having to deal with their title 2 status? How about FedEx or UPS and their motor common carrier status under the Motor Carrier Act of 1935? You see all regulation as bad? Then you really should study our history and see why these regulations were absolutely necessary.
So don't read them, Jesus fucking Christ, did you comment here just to see your words on the screen. You have nothing to add to the conversation obviously, so don't.
If you rely on PPC software soo much why did you get rid of your PPC hardware. Sounds like you are bitching at Apple for your own mistake. Rosetta was never meant to be a long term thing, it was there to help you transition to the new platform. Sorry you were to ignorant to understand that.
"Seven and earlier years ago, I purchased various PPC software to enjoy or address a need"
7 years ago Apple had already discontinued the PPC line (actually it was 9 years ago), so you, in your investment wisdom bought software that was already obsolete because no one was actually making hardware that supported it any more. Now you want to blame Apple for your lack of research ( I am sure you got a great deal), I am sorry but that's on you my basement dwelling friend.
Actually she is Mrs. Clinton. And no she does not get a "pass" on this.
The only reason to use non government email servers is to be able to hide correspondence.

What the hell would a physicist do with a Cintiq? Thats a tool for some one in graphics not someone who needs LaTex,

I like the gravity experiments, my laptop.... not so much.
I don't care how fast your laptop is it's not fast enough for huge data sets or simulations. That's why they have clusters.

And weather simulations aren't going to be run on a laptop.
I am sure the risk analysis would show that it would be unwise to insure an entity that wants to hide it's identity.
> however it will only be a matter of time before some entity establishes enough trust to actually do this.
How would aiding in money laundering in any way allow an entity to build trust?
Wait, just because they don't have them doesn't mean they don't need them. Here in RI they are required to have them but Uber says no they are "ride sharing".
Yeah, you can choose from the multitude of car services that actually follow the law.
Now with this they will actually have to tell you what the caps are, most likely hidden in some micro print at the end of your contract.
Like they offer to do?

Well the FCC cannot create a tax, sorry but that actually takes Congress.
Well to be honest, if you want to have any understanding on how the Constitution is interpreted today, then yeah that would be the place to start.
It was always subject to government meddling, why you think different is beyond me.

Why is it everyone is making this seem like it's out of the norm?

Yes because the messed up the phones and mail so much.
enough with the conspiracy, unless you can list some concrete examples with citation on the evils perpetrated by the FCC in the past.

Your right, learning how things work is a complete waste of time.
