Just download the app - there are plenty of them, for android, ios, and windows. That "might" get you around apps that don't explicitly have resources for tiling on the display embedded into the apk.
and she was had to deal with a family health issue and was going to be away with no Internet service for several weeks, so the machine needed local storage for movies and TV shows and music.
Since this was only to be used to consume media w/o the internet, a cheap tablet, headphones, and a few memory cards would have done the job far cheaper. Also a lot cheaper if it got lost, stolen or "borrowed."
Desktops are no longer cost efficient now that laptops are so cheap. $400 gets you 8 gigs, quad core, and a screen, so you only need one screen to have a dual-monitor setup. And if you don't have at least a dual-monitor setup, you're doing it wrong. Of course, if you want an i7 with 16 gigs of ram, they're also available without paying the ultrabook premium pricing.
As for the laptop when traveling, I'm sure the extra weight of a non-ultrabook laptop won't tax your car.
How many ultrabooks are actually used "on the go" instead of quickly becoming just another status symbol because it's easier to just whip out your phone or tablet? When people are mobile (car, bus, subway) only someone who wants to show off their shiny new laptop will actually use it. Ditto for people in restaurants. The real use case for these is vanity, not "doing computer stuff."
Or he's using other accounts (and other hackaday editors) to upvote in the firehose? It's crap, and as you can see from the comments, it's almost statistically guaranteed that the majority of regular slashdot readers would downvote this to the 7th level of hell or further.
Total bullsh*t. A well-rounded education and encouraging curiosity are far better ways of imparting problem solving skills. If you think that programming naturally leads to improved problem solving skills, you're psychotic. Just look at all the delayed, failed, and buggy software out there. And all the code that doesn't really solve the problem it was supposed to, "but it has tons of other features."
Basic science would be far, far better. For one thing, it would reduce the number of anti-vaxxers and chemtrails idiots.
I don't see the allure of an ultrabook. I've always used my laptops only as desktop replacements plugged into a second screen for dual monitor use (quiet counts for a lot when you notice just how much nicer the work environment becomes when the pc power supply and cpu fan whines are gone).
Not all distros come with a windows manager. It's not needed, for example, in server installs and mini and recovery distros.
As for the "year of the linux desktop thing", android isn't an operating system, but it's also not a desktop system. However, android tablets can already run two apps side-by-side, and a tiling window manager is much more efficient in terms of information display than an overlapping window manager.
linux, freebsd, android, osx, windows, microsoft, apple, os/2, pc, mac - people will figure it out.:-)
Apart from severe problems with dealing with several audio channels or routing audio to external analog speakers, it also had and still has the charming property of turning the whole display black for 1-2 seconds from time to time. Not to speak of countless problems with false colors and red-tinted display on my Philips TV.
Sure, but they're durable enough that when you plug it in and notice that there's no red on the screen, you can just bend the pin back with a knife, fork, or even a spoon. Unless all you have a plastic, because TERR'ISTS!
"The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him".
This principle could be paraphrased as follows: "It is not an acceptable excuse to say 'I was just following my superior's orders'".
Previous to the time of the Nuremberg Trials, this excuse was known in common parlance as "Superior Orders". After the prominent, high profile event of the Nuremberg Trials, that excuse is now referred to by many as the "Nuremberg Defense". In recent times, a third term, "lawful orders" has become common parlance for some people. All three terms are in use today, and they all have slightly different nuances of meaning, depending on the context in which they are used.
Nuremberg Principle IV is legally supported by the jurisprudence found in certain articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which deal indirectly with conscientious objection. It is also supported by the principles found in paragraph 171 of the Handbook on Procedures and Criteria for Determining Refugee Status which was issued by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Those principles deal with the conditions under which conscientious objectors can apply for refugee status in another country if they face persecution in their own country for refusing to participate in an illegal war.
The ucmj, article 92, also only requires you to obey lawful orders. An order to participate in a massacre of civilians, as often happened in viet nam, is unlawful, and should be disobeyed.
Considering that many distros ship with multiple window managers, trying to identify a distro by its' windows manager doesn't work. Just use linux or android - everyone will understand the difference.
Java byte code (.class files) is converted to the dex format during the compile process. Even dalvik never ran java code. Part of the build process is to convert the java class files to dex format, because dalvik cannot do java classes.
As you can see in this diagram, the.apk file only contains.dex files, resources (compiled and uncompiled), and the AndroidManifest.xml file. No.class files (which means no java byte code) to be seen. Not for Dalvik. not for Art.
And you can't just blindly write java source and expect it to work. No AWT or Swing classes, for example.
Mind you, the way we're going after a 90-something-old men who was an accountant "because his work cataloging inventory aided the nazis", Wernher von Braun would have been hung because he actively worked on the V2 and other programs knowing full well that they were going to be used against civilians. And Russians would have been the first on the moon.
At some time shouldn't people say "enough is enough - the people who gave the orders are dead, either during the war, or after."
No on would ever claim to be running C because C isn't a runtime it's a language
Really? So when I compile a C program I'm not linking in the C runtime library? Of course I am - otherwise the executable wouldn't be able to start.
Now if you don't want ANY runtime, try assembler. Just don't make any system calls, any bios calls, etc., because they too are part of the runtime environment.

The only way that three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead - and even then ....
Experience has shown time and time again that there will never be perfect secrecy - just "good enough for now" is the best we can hope for.
So give the kids crossword puzzles instead - that won't cost 4 billion bucks.
Just download the app - there are plenty of them, for android, ios, and windows. That "might" get you around apps that don't explicitly have resources for tiling on the display embedded into the apk.

Look again - there's a tab at the top of the page for "promotions" aka paid advertising.

What do you expect - it's from hackaday - you just know it's bullsh*t written "because we need to write something."
Add in Hercules port, parallel port.

Your link says nothing about lack of liability for following orders.
Also, international law is clear on this - following orders is not an excuse.

Forgot to mention that the jag was upgraded to a Chevy 350 engine.
Not really. Use the linux kernel and a modified base FreeBSD userland.

This was decades ago.
