Hey, nice use of officialiese. You sound quite authoritative. Too bad your scenarios are self-centric and awash in pure speculation.
"Such a break-point will carry with it the likelihood of one or more astronauts venting frustration and hostility -- possibly built up over many years of disillusionment as part of the crippled US space effort.... Ham radio operators and others around the world will band together to pick up the transmissions of the doomed astronauts and make them available to the public."
So instead of saying the club and it's purpose is dying, let's say anyone can be a member now, if not of the club of it's purpose.
Like Obi-Wan Kenobi?
"By striking me down, I will be come more powerful than you can ever imagine. The spirit of hacking will spread at the speed of light through the universe..."
If you went and built one for even $500, then stepped on it, dunked it in water, took it out of the freezer and tossed it a 150 deg oven, then gave it to your grandmother and had her enter her some data 100% error-free, VCs would probably sit up and take notice.
But you can't. Why? Because what you propose is impossible today. All your website describes is how to make a paper keyboard.
And, unfortunatley, it's not even worth it. By the time your paper computer becomes possible to build, bill paying, etc. will all be online, where it should be.
Success is just getting up one more time than you fall down. I hope you find another idea to devote your energy to.

You've got to be kidding me.
That's true. Don't you love it when Java Swing causes your entire NT box to hang? Let's emulate that on Linux as well.
There's alot you can't do with a GUI in UNIX because of the rift between userland and kernelland.
Like what?? (besides another 3 FPS in Quake)

Or something like that...
Yeah, and McDonalds flavors their burgers with dead cows. It's freaky!
Crud. Make that static public Color Red, ...
It's not so bad...
class Color
{
private Color() {}
public Color Red = new Color();
public Color Blue = new Color();
public Color Magenta = new Color();
}
(The constructor is private so that you cannot create a Color except in the class itself--no extending the enum after it's declared).
Now you've got Color.Red, Color.Blue,
Dear inventor,

in water, took it out of the freezer and tossed it a 150 deg oven, then
gave it to your grandmother and had her enter her some data 100%
error-free, VCs would probably sit up and take notice.

Here's how I got sound working on my ThinkPad i1452. Hopefully the harware is pretty similar?
