I would suggest that you include a graphics tablet. The field you describe is wide. Ranging from heavy number cruncher to equation pusher, so the capabilities of the laptop needed will vary a lot. ( But as a student that's probably not her next laptop but the one after that. )
Also if she needs very heavy processing the university will provide that.
However any physicist will make good use of a graphics tablet, especially a Cintiq type tablet. Though you could save yourself a ton going for Bosto or Yiynova. II understand there are also kits out there that will convert an LCD monitor to a Cintiq clone. BUt such a mod may make your laptop unclosable.
Your last sentence is particularly telling.... It reads like the classic technique of a culprit accusing his accusers of exactly the thing that he himself did so as to deflect criticism.
Like O.J. and and V. Putin vowing to find the "real killers."
Whoa, whoa - WHOA. They're going after Lennart Poettering?
I agree about the TBM's but remember TBMs are one off. I think they may have more reusabilty in space, but still the TBMs you need on the moon are smaller. I think you can create a self-sustaining colony of 100000 on the Moon with TBM's and some seed materials ( oxygen, nitrogen, etc... ) much more easily on the Moon.
Once such a colony is built there, then it can be used much more easily to build a colony on Mars.
Haven't read the original article, but if this is true then the technology is doomed to the buzz of the elecrical driver, which many find to be annoying.
First of all teaching people to code in Javascript is litterally to condem them to years of demented reasoning.
Ruby OTOH has basic structures which work well together in simpliefied structures ala Smalltalk, so that's n ot a problem. If you need R's capabilities just add on R's libraries.
There are many languages such as Ruby where learning the basic constructs for use as a DSL is a good idea.
I think a more interesting question is will gaurdians be allowed to put children in cars alone? ( Jimmy, your parents just called and said they would be late, I'm going to call yoiu a robotaxi. )

Yes but if not physics then what? THere don't seem to be that many good choices out there.

Keep in mind that most of the remaining case is IBM suing SCO. most of the other part has gone away( but not all.).

One can only hope.
Have sex.
Unless you are planning on becoming a pr0n star.
Like the recent meme "he's supersmart so he must be autistic".
but one question comes immediately to mind.
You couldn't figure that out.
PS THis week with luck I finally get to rearrage my desk so my hands do not hit the bottom of a drawer when typing.
OK. I have not yet read the entire article, but one ques4tion xomwea immediately to mind.
Is it still secure after you root it?
Logitech still lists them and I've found them on many sites.

I love trackballs and I think they may be the answer, but if he jerks a lot they may not be.

Stupider scientists.

Make Pixie sticks out of them.
They are turning into series that are meganovels.
Lord of the Rings, I don't of as an example of this phenomena, but mnore a precursor.
Lois McMaster Bujolds Vorkosigan series does seem to be one of the major ones.
The prototypical ones are the Harry Potter series.
It recently came to me that the kind of behavior they talk about has traditionally been inoculation against the Dunning-Krueger effect.
Doh! GPL uses copyrights not patents.
Somehow the first time I read this it came out Martion crayons not canyons. Confused the hell out of me.

Maybe rthey can pay students yo remove it.

Awk Awk
It's the fault of global warming.
Awk Awk.
A lot of airbrush body paints are alcohol based.
Airbrush body paint? Never heard of it. Doesn't it tickle?
What leads you to believe this is going to inherently be harmful to us?
It's made from those pesky chemical thingys.

other governments are not.
Just develop everything in house. And I do mean everything.
Don't count your ergs before they are generated.
