Depends on how many Steam library games will eventually work under their Linux OS. If a large portion of my library becomes playable, you bet I'll build or buy a steambox.
A quick news search, Monday night's offer from the Republicans that Reid summarily dismissed:
The latest House bill, which the chamber backed on a 228-201 vote, would have delayed the law's individual mandate while prohibiting lawmakers, their staff and top administration officials from getting government subsidies for their health care.
Wasted space, images I don't need plastered all over my screen when I have this up on my third monitor at work...
Yeah, thanks slashdot. Had to check my calendar to make sure it wasn't April.
3.757 ms is the time it takes light to travel from DC to Chicago(throw in a couple mirrors on balloons to get over that whole curvature problem, keep in mind I'm basing this off of 700 mi which is actually a driven route so I'm sure straight-line is shorter), so it -could- have happened without insider info... and some really cool lasers attached to really fast computers.
(hah!)
This is one reason why I still use a local bank. I can walk to their headquarters and file a complaint in person and actually get to talk to somebody face-to-face. Though the few charge-backs I've had to do a simple online ticket has resolved my issues.
As a hobbyist in the area of robotics (done quite a bit with LEGO Mindstorm and am now working with Arduino automation), I can say it's quite frustrating to do something that causes your bot to partially or mostly fall apart. It's a lot of effort putting this stuff together and when your latest quadcopter autopilot program crashes into the side of your house at 30-40 mph, it's a bit sad. But also an excuse to build a newer, better robot. And possibly buy a new window.
Took me all of 5 minutes to find an app to give me a start menu in windows 8, and I use it purely in desktop mode on my laptop. Seems like a lot of Win 8 complaints are complaining for the sake of complaining. I daily switch between win 7 at work and win 8 at home with no issue.
I order some food online from Schwan's - they deliver the food in a foam cooler with dry ice to keep it frozen. I just have them drop it off at my back door and it's there when I get home from work. It's not same-day of course, but it's frozen food so that doesn't matter much to me.
Here's the Free Market for you:
The Stratosphere is probably not a huge $ maker for them, so they spend less $ on development and QA than, say, the Galaxy S phones.
We did this when I started college in 2005. One class was pure flow charts and Warnier/Orr Diagrams(and the professor of the class wrote the book for the class, so, generally, he was right), the next class we had to diagram out all our C programs before writing a line of code. Then we finally got into OO programming and the diagrams kinda went out the window.
Generally if we can ingrain that a screenshot and a username will be much more useful than any first-submission of a bug, we get things done faster. Most of the time we get the screenshot and find out PEBCAK...
Seriously, anybody else buy food through them? They frickin' sell everything. And I own a Kindle, so sue me. Like another poster mentioned, why would I go to a physical store to buy something that is not physical? Since I got my Kindle I have not bought a single physical book. Why would I? The battery life on this thing is pretty amazing....
What's the point of mentioning the AR Drone? Any device running Android or iOS (Windows and Linux as well, there are plenty of open source projects that can control it) can do this.
I wouldn't worry about appearing suspicious... you realize how many professionals travel with encrypted drives? It is by no means uncommon - every mobile device my company gives to employees has an encrypted hard drive in it.

Not to mention streaming video, and free shipping.

Don't forget the numpad del

I had a 30 inch HD CRT(Best Buy off-brand Insignia) ... when I got a Real Job last year, yeah, it was time to replace it.
Solid ring of electronics around your head, you say?
Pretty sure he meant this.

Yeah I just threw it on two cores on my Galaxy S2 and it started getting -really hot- -really fast- ... so, one core it is.
From the app description: 'BOINC computes only when your device is plugged in and charged, so it won't run down your battery'
TFA says the companies resisted - the shame here belongs on the US Government
Is this the 'say fucking enough times and you win an argument on the internet' strategy?

I think I'll call my car Little Chevy Tables.
