well, then it's ~300 bucks more expensive(surface pro which runs your work programs is maybe a thousand bucks+, I'm unsure if the pricing was yet announced.. it wont hit the shelves this year).
Good point - the hell with the thing then. Personally, I use the biggest, heaviest-ass laptop I can get my hands on as a desktop replacement/traveling companion, and I add a full external keyboard and mouse. I hate poking at tablets, or tapping on chicklet-keys on a mini-keyboard.
"it is what is forced down their throats at the work place" -- agreed - to a certain extent. I'm required to use it because some of my work-related programs only work on that platform. If someone wants to port Adobe Acrobat Pro to Linux, I'll be the first in line. I'm one of the few who has written and maintained steps for running it under Wine over the years to force it to somewhat run on Linux, but it's still missing numerous deal-breaker features when run in that manner.
I could refuse to use Windows. I just wouldn't be able to get all my work done.
Yes, but indoor toilets were not common until 20 years later. Home refrigerators with compressors were not invented until 1914-1916. It wasn't until the 1940's until most municipalities in the US had treated water, and until the 1970's that the developed nations passed safe drinking water laws and required more industrial waste to be removed from the water.
And billions of folks still don't have access to these simple, life-saving inventions.
Got to wonder how much longer we will really need postal carriers. I think I'll be sending a total of about 10 pieces of physical mail for the entire 2012 year, down from about 20 the year before. Not even 10 years ago, I was sending that many per week. Between email, online bill pay, and DropBox, there's hardly ever a reason for me to buy postage anymore, either for my business or personally. Heck, even greeting cards are nearly all e-cards now.
They missed the 3 inventions that have done the most to promote health and prolong human life expectancy: toilets, refrigerators, and water treatment plants.
If this data got in the wrong hands, it could be a HUGE boon to identity theft syndicates. What if UAE undergoes its own "Arab Spring" coup to overthrow the hereditary "Emirs" who run the country? How do we know if all this data they have is secure? How many thousands of fake passports could be made by using this data, giving middle eastern extremists easy access to international travel?
Flipping apps, investing in secondary apps? Soon there will be app-backed derivatives, and Wall Street will melt down over bursting of the global secondary-app bubble.
Read the original versions in Pali and Sanskrit. Soon you will learn that you don't need things such as "jobs", "money", "careers"... Leave the endless cycle of life, death and rebirth, pain and suffering behind.
buying your 4th (or 5th) largest competitor so that your 3rd largest competitor can't survive in the market could be called "anti-trust". Something MSFT knows all about...
Pesticides, antibiotics, and even Prozac are already in the water system. Most nutrient levels will be similar - the original study is largely correct unfortunately.
How incredibly 1970's... I think we're about to see an explosive growth of profits by hippy glass blowers, who reinvent themselves as "3D Silica Printers".
He figures he somehow "lost" $100 million that he never had, and that he had no hand in creating. I'm always surprised at how people view that they were "cheated" out of other people's money. This is similar to saying the Winklevoss's "lost" $400 million.

Feel like I can kick some serious ass now...
The Android kernel is used by a half-billion people every day, while Linus's version is actively used by a fraction of that. He's a "leader" of a project that is losing relevance on a global scale fairly quickly.
If you want to talk about a real leader, shouldn't we be talking about the chief maintainer of the Android fork of the kernel? Whoever that is?

Adobe software doesn't count. It barely runs on Windows.
I'm not arguing that point!
The Surface Pro is supposed to be a full-blown PC, capable of running software that runs on Windows 7, from what I've been reading.

Then yes, it's worth an extra buck-twenty. What good is a cheaper device that I can't do my work on? That's just a toy.

Haven't you seen the three sea shells in one of those postcards?
No, but there should have at least been a robot to toss the contents of the chamber pots out the window and onto unsuspecting passers-by.

Wow. Somebody needs a nap and a diaper change.
Loved it! Man, those graphics are stunning. I never would have thought Blender would turn into this all those years ago.

Why would you ask that here? What would slashdotters know about being jerks?
Linux is doing just fine powering servers and supercomputers.
You are proving my point - Headless servers and supercomputers aren't a "community".
