The perfect Linux-Laptop? I like my IBM T43P... It's a good as it gets for a PC. But! I like my Powerbook more:-). Of course this one runs MacOS X - no reason to put Linux on it.:-)
You're just a troll who doesn't know anything Marx did write about. For a start communism doesn't even mention the concept of a "state". And for slavery and starvation just take a look at the history of capitalism and colonization.
Why?! Because you think it's to realistic to be genuine Scifi? I'm a communist and I certainly don't like all that macho-power behavior, but is the way the world is structured now and it is certainly good entertainment - let's work to do it otherwise, read Marx and become a communist!
Actually those parenthesis are a nice thing to have. Sure, it does requires you to understand what LISP is about first (s-expressions), but those parenthesis serve a well defined purpose.
Actually people should stop muttering about choice but start caring about the "right thing" to do. Choice is for people which don't comprehend the subject at hand.
Just because you call something communism it certainly must not be communism. Communism is until this day nothing more or less than a fundamental and true critique of capitalism. You might want to try to simply read up some of Marx' writings (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c 1/). Communism and the reality in states like the Soviet Union have no more in common than a bread and a piece of concrete...
I'm pretty troubled by the whole Smalltalk "image" idea... I just don't like it. For me Objective-C is clearly the better Smalltalk but YMMV. And to be fair there's only one language on the planet that got everything right - Common Lisp with CLOS!:-)
I'm facing the same problem and have done some research in this area. My solution so far is to take some decent case (my current favorite is a Evercase ECE4292), a cheap processor (AMD Duron), a cheap board (something under 40 Euro), 512 MByte RAM and a hardware RAID controller...
My choice for the controller is the Adaptec 2810SA - an 8-Port SATA Raidcontroller (around $600) which provides on really important feature (at least for me) - OCE; Online Capacity Extension. That means, that you can easily start with a 3 drive RAID-5 and the extend it as you need it by simply plugging more drives into the controller - using 250Gbyte drives you can scale it up to 1.75 Terrabyte.
It's JavaScript not Java... In fact it's using the Mozilla Javascript Engine compared to the KJS (or whatever the KDE/KHTML Javascript Engine is called), which is used by Safari and the Dashboard.
No it isn't... Their classloader design in simply broken (at least in the 3.x series - which I tried). It's maybe possible to use JBoss in an 1 Server - 1 Application environment, but forget it if you want to use more than one application using the same libraries in different versions... In that case you're screwed!

Happy 10th anniversary! Time for a new war!
Probably getting boring just to clean up the mess of the old ones.

A Lisp image in CL is just the runtime environment, not the development environment!

To be honest, that's what makes a TV show perfect.

"A bit too heavy on sex, but it kind of fits the theme."
You can't be serious... Sex is the essence of human existence. I'd rather have sex for the rest of my life than doing anything else!
You're a troll... Objective-C has nothing in common with COBOL.

I strongly disagree... Common LISP is a perfect language. :-)
They do not. No strong typed language can do that. Reflection is a PITA. I you want a dynamic language use a dynamic language.
It began with LISP and it will end with LISP... Why not simply use the original?

Somehow that "was" comforts me a lot :-)

Well, talk about *humor*
Well, actually it's the serial port...

That should answer his complains...
