For some forced sterilisations are a modern day fact of life. Particularly Rroma women inhabiting some Eastern European states (Hungaria, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Czech Republic most noteably) Many are stearilsed without even being told thats whats being done to them till after the act. Usually as an automatic thing when seeking medical for minor non-related ailments.
I've got the C-60 variant, also upgraded to 8GB RAM.
It's been my primary machine for year and a half now. Running arch, everything 'just works' as expected with none of the problems with flaky hardware/drivers I experienced with atom devices. It drives my 3d screen just fine for films, feels perfectly snappy & lag free. Is without a doubt the best laptop I have ever owned in 2 decades of laptop ownership. Graphicially, it can run Portal 2 in high detail settings at a good enough fps to feel smooth.
My only complaint was the high price. At £250, it was 18months worth of savings.
I've got a european hdd bearing PS2. You can still find the componets to HDD enable a ps2 on the typical high street. But there mostly an accessory for HDLoader users and the like. There are no HDD capable games over here. So its the exclusive domain of pirates and more hardcore users who don't want their laser/games to wear out prematurely. The softwares out there to make torrenting game iso's and dumping straight onto the PS2 across the network without any futzing around. So it's a 'just works' solution that's made piracy on the platform as itunes/steam simple.
Where it troubles me is the situation where I change my board and keep the same CPU.
Even the best boards can loose caps or vrm's within the lifetime of the cpu. My current 2 year old PhenomII is in its second board for that reason. And performs well enough I'd doubt a need to replace for a nother couple of years.
At 9 years old I was teaching myself to programme assembler using debug and edlin as was pre-installed on my state of the art ms-dos 3.2 system. Wrote my first boot sector virus that year.
Somebody else will just buy the rights to make them as the companies assests are carved up for spare change. Before you know it. You'll find the same old Twinkie. Just with another companies logo on the packet.
I had that problem for the longest time. But gave it another go yesterday.
Ubuntu 12.10, Gnome3, What ever version of wine is pulled in my PlayOnLinux. And it now seems to work flawlessly. Window dragging and resizing included.
what else is in the way of making 2013 the year of the Linux desktop?

Sadly, the overwhelming majority of victims say nothing out of fear. And from those who try to speak out, even less are ever heard.

Just, wow.
I don't normally meet somebody so stupid I feel compelled to say so.
But you are the dumbest person I've met on the internet since that guy shouting from the rooftops about Linux being code stolen from Microsoft.

Cheap to make maybe.
Doubt they'd be cheap to buy for a long time once the capitilists have gotten hold of them.

Their CPU's are not doing great.
But they still got their GPU market keeping them afloat.

I don't understand. How is my choice of word a problem. It's not offensive. And clearly defines somebody who believes strongly in there mission.
I completely agree with you. That was the point I was trying in earnest to make.
