Or something else: in that "vertical lines" issue unresting is some pattern of failure repeating soon even if LCD panel just replaced.
Too bad, AppleCare does not even exist in my part of planet, thefore even more depends on position of manufacturer towards such manufacturing defect. Which was simply missing, so far.
just received unit back from warranty repair (by luck, it had sufficient display lifetime before me getting in; then - nobody speaks real problem, so it might tend to reoccur real soon now) - very confident, actually.
Not true at all. Take LCD panels of CoreDuo iMacs alone falling en masse these days, once slightly past warranty. Search for "vertical lines", if interested.
The problem is, we do not provide that get-trough experience in computing nowadays.
Like, they are no longer bound to bits, bytes neither - expectations have changed. They want ready-made-digestible-sense, and we are not that ready to provide one. Essentially, difference amongst bits in our heads and digestible somethings in their anticipation - that is to overcome. HOWEVER, mankind does have by now applications, that can be exposed in massive amounts with massive amusement without much of license fees. Essentially, it is time to repeat Linux-like discoveries on massively deployed kid-computing means.
Very wise point - I do own EeePC, as geek should have had. It is definitely derived from the idea of OLPC, just executed better and became available first. Pity.
Because OLPC is the real sweet point of intent, and our attention (as geeks) and support should have remained focused on it. Meanwhile, I am available for the next device, by now, and would be happy trying to spark accumulated skill (for the benefit of many) into that, original one.
Absolutely. Once upon a time, it was matter of pride, to provide user with specifications of DISCOVERED technical achievements. Everybody, who cares, would jump to care.
I would suggest waiting for 10" variant, heard it must come. Screen estate is something to enhance, space is there. Otherwise, thingie is robust and versatile - I always felt (pressed by) notebook being carried with me, but not this one. Keyboard can be used to somewhat, mouse is worth having for stationary use. Sound trough decent speakers is impressive - thingie can move. Interface is good for child/old one, and has plenty of things to discover prebuilt-in.
As to what it can be used for: whatever your PC imagination leads you to. Some qualities, put together there, do make unique combination, price being not the least important, too.
1. There is replacement of media occuring, where, having P2P, customer does not need CD store anymore - even if all, he gets, is faceless, lossy processed, part of the original record. He is happy, having spent $0 and got that much.
2. As medium to excercise records hobby, P2P keeps that one up over others, and provides means to examine, wherever one wants, what all those artists of possible interest, have done, or are doing. It is great source of discovering new sympaties, and getting to know more. As such tool, it supports music fan, and helps him choosing his next wish for occasion, be it CD, SACD or DVD (which I, personally, opt for more and more). There is big benefit, well worth money spent, for records collector, in original media, over mp3 samples - record quality, original package, video stream and realistic surround sound for some media.
So, we have not single influence of P2P on media sales, to talk about, but that, complex.
Corporate GREED in record BUSINESS got to be trimmed, however, if that is, how new artists can be raised/supported - it is not about bad things only, then, and some premium paid, better be redirected for that purpose. New models for direct artist support, might be excercised, as well.
I do not know well what Halo is, but evolving relationship into that of more partnership, from what I have heard, seems pretty natural. And for the sake of your next Halo, besides.
To be precise - they do not identify phones, but their ownership (sans photo, beware danger, they are easier transferable, and more transferable/collectable, than actual voters).
But, rest assured, to laugh of "silly Estonians" is way too early - they, of course, have some scheme in place how to do it with good result, so it must be only about polishing. Like, say, what it costs to have one more SIM for voting id purposes? You can even track location of vote making place/device, I believe.
I am certainly proud to have such gifted neighbouring nation, being in that part of the world myself. This surprise ought to get obvious: young, potential and willing countries out into the newfound freedom, can amaze with particular results.
"what application or kernel area would you attempt to improve" - as long, as you can relate "linux experience" to be amongst those named, this would be most important. Watching it for over 10 years by now, it is hard to miss disappointment, that is slowly replacing slightly bigger hopes for OS, had before. OS/X is there by that time, and it is willingly accepted as consistent Unix-allowing, rarely disappointing, rather well polished tool. Not sure, there are still as many enthusiasts over there to test next version of next distro for fun. Maybe me myself am getting older, but it was a while, since I was willing dive into that experience once again - too predictible, too little to be found, too disappointing to discover new headaches.
If distributed opensource development has next big issue to overcome, I would say it is consistency amongst distros, in user interface, in quality of applications deployed, wherever you see. That's difference, commercial software is able and willing to varant - deliver not promise of capable product (and multitudes of promises), but one of usable scope, finished in very certain extent, even if that value is being asked money for.
Linux/opensource development has to get focuses. It is not easy to do being loosely distributed by origin, but there were such efforts at the earlier stages (like LSB, LI) - either they should function in new quality, or other efforts should find place and bring in new sense into Linux development.
It happened: went upstairs to check what was that other book, and it is translation of this one: "Linux Core Kernel Commentary: Guide to Insider's Knowledge on the Core Kernel of the Linux Code" by Scott Maxwell. Beware, that most of this book is made of kernel code, and one's expectation might be disappointed. However, it is very illustrative and should be handy for learning. There was once ago such "Linux Bible", published by Yggdrasil, consisting of many open source documentation of that time only - you could say what sense to have it in print, still never was regretting by this heavyweight on hands.
Anyway, having variety of good books used to be helpful.
Besides, Rusling's book was being printed by me on OKI dot matrix (in graphical mode), actually. Yeah...
I doubt your target for course is correct. Having been trough after-studies Operating Systems course like 20 years ago, centering on RSX-11, I still feel solid in concepts of today's OSes - Linux, too.
For good professional background, I would recommend you to get also good books. On OS principles themselves, and on Linux Kernel. I have been printing and binding myself freely distributable online David Rusling book "The Linux Kernel" (that over 10 years ago). It mentions even Alpha processor view of things - very good for broader understanding. Love this book, very special. Also in my library sits book of Linux kernel anatomy: too lazy to go upstairs for exact title, but it must have been published by SAMS, and is book analyzing specifically code, that makes Linux Kernel, there are sources of very first versions of kernel included too, which should help to understand evolution of kernel as final touch. And plenty of code and discussion of it. Author might be not available for classes, but book is serious alternative for such.
Thanks to Patrick and his helpers! Just got least expensive, but well equipped, Duo Core iMac last weekend with partition awaiting for some nice linux distro: and here you are! Except for SuSE (with other benefits of Linux world), somehow other distros did not stick with me: absolutely do not like Gnome UI experience, so those well meant distros, basing on it, never impressed. But slackware was always fun of learning or recalling what contemporary linux distro is made of. Thanks again!
What about Patrick's health, really? Couldn't find quickly how well he turned out with those former problems?

Not true at all, my daughter's iPod earbuds did great sound - no worse than any leading brand in this price range would do.
Legends of MS mouse or other input do not cut it well here, too.
Not true at all: Apple is outsourcing as much, as it could - as does everybody these days (bless you to resist, boutique people).
It is time of WARNING, not of SLEEP, that has begun for Apple. Success is always way more demanding.

Leaving profit for your sweet sake, dear.
Well, it may be initially attempt: hopes, believes, risks...
Definitely, computing is much nicer with it in. But it is now both: success and challenge, that are on the rise.
forgot it: warranty means 12 months. Anybody seen shorter in the field?

Then, there was famous basic compiler.

If you call desktop your inexpensive SSD-based 10" screen ultramobile.
Hi! Maybe hook your hdd-iRiver? I am ready to throw $notes to eePC, really.
But it will be black, for distinction.
If something cuts into retro-style, it must do it properly.
For certain, I am picking this device over any other.
P2P has twofold impact on CD sales:
1. There is replacement of media occuring, where, having P2P, customer does not
need CD store anymore - even if all, he gets, is faceless, lossy processed,
part of the original record. He is happy, having spent $0 and got that much.
2. As medium to excercise records hobby, P2P keeps that one up over others,
and provides means to examine, wherever one wants, what all those artists of possible
interest, have done, or are doing. It is great source of discovering new sympaties,
and getting to know more. As such tool, it supports music fan, and helps him

My DEC Alpha Multia 166 printserver still has work to handle this very evening ;-)
Good news! Looks, like we might be on time, before we are done with Earth.

Go, e-stonians, show trick once again!
That's, why Reznor persists attracting me: he is delivering value in risky circumstances.
