Sync a laptop's home dir with the network drive. Similar can be accomplished pretty trivially with rsync or any number of syncronization systems, yup it can be easily fully automated, no brain involved as well.
The new interface has nothing to do with being better. They have a competitor which looks just like it... Coincidence huh? Bollocks it is. The new interface is to break that link. Car manufacturers do exactly the same.
Nah, the guy's an idiot. Lets start with books, teachers and a trade system which doesn't punish the poorest countries in the world. (Yeah, you fucked up (again) Mandelson. This time people are gonna die though.)
'Basically, customers said "We want to make sure our PCs are running genuine Windows and have access to all the content on the Microsoft Download Center; the experience when we're running a Mozilla browser is not great. Do something about it."
Nope. I'll bet no-one said anything of the kind. I think it probably went more like this "FFS! f*cking MS doesn't work!" maybe...
Maybe 15% of the population. It just isn't a viable solution for the other 85% -> 90% of people who need to travel. Not only that it isn't physically possible for it to be a viable solution for the other 90%, the transport maths simply don't add up for conventional mass transit.
As a web user I don't give a shit what the application is made of as long as it works and doesn't open me up to all the security nightmares of the day.
Do I care that I can get a full desktop application on the web? I don't because I already have one and free too. Video games? Nope, got'em and they're better too.
Do something I don't have. If it can get me laid all the better.
Power is the biggest factor it seems. No, not speed. Power over the system, flexibility. For all that Windows is easy, it comes at the price of limiting your freedom to mess around with stuff. When asked can I do blah with Linux, the answer's pretty much yes out of the box. With Windows the answer's yes if you buy X, Y and Z.

Solved problem, long time ago.

2 year sentence. Ahhh, the oldest democracy, nice to see we have our priorities spot on.
And this is the first change in the UI for 20 years because....
A: OpenOffice looks and acts just like MS Office...
B: They just felt like it?

Good literature? Says who? Some stuffy academics? Some theatre luvvies? What on earth are they thinking...
Go read it yourself, make up your own mind. If you can get to the end... ALL ON YOUR OWN... and enjoy it then, maybe he doesn't suck very badly.
Otherwise... There's mountains of understandable, readable books, watchable plays out there. Leave Shakespeare in the grave he deserves to be in.
With multidimensional views on the intersections between tags.
Anyone know of similar?
Go look Arkwright up (Industrial Revolution). They're changing everything.
You see, people don't really want computers, they just want the services they provide.
So don't use Google you paranoid muppet! There's a whole Internet of alternatives out there.
They only burn less because they usually have a higher utilisation. And they only always have higher utilisation during rush hours.

Conventional mass transit isn't the answer. Packetised mass transit is...

Can I get it for my laptop? Seriously...
KDE/Gnome, Firefox, Thunderbird. Open Office. All huge.
I bet you don't get a dancing paperclip with Linux, do you?
At some point either GNU Enterprise or Compiere are going to be good enough and supported enough to do away with their only product.
Oh and open source and free software have nothing to do with socialism and every thing to do with supply and demand...

Oh... Wait...
Yay. Got to love "Intellectual Property".
Create a .un TLD and allow the United Nations to manage that. Problem solved.
So nobody's hit on the really big one yet.
Where computers and systems know what you want and then give it to you. Good? Evil? Well that all depends on intent doesn't it.
Someone's always going to be one step in front, ticking that extra box. It's fine if you're happy with your business ticking over.
Increase the value of the job till it's worth someone's while to actually do it. Everyone benefits. Any rejected work remains owned by author.
"I would expect the two nations to have roughly the same uptake rate since they are braodly similar."
Simply not. Language is similar but culturally they are worlds apart.
