It's quite possible to use the same design concepts to develop smaller apps that don't need the overhead of an sql database. Don't forget that before RDBMS came out, hierarchical file systems were used as data stores.
And QUIET! Think of it - throw a couple of servers in a fridge, paint it black, mount a couple of 16" tape reels on the freezer door and some flashing LEDs, and you'll have one heck of a retro case mod!
It's not like the fridge even has to get down to freezing - just keeping the interior at room temperature would be good enough, though if it CAN get down to almost freezing, it not only adds the possibility of overclocking, but also the aforementioned beer to cool the human as well.
What about using a computer dust filter bag? You could cut a window for typing and seal around the keyboard cover. You could also create flaps for the optical drive and ports, though an extension hub might make more sense and provide for a tighter seal.
Put the laptop in a place where dust won't be such a problem (like in a bar fridge) and run cables for mouse, keyboard, and external video. bar fridges are ~$100, and not only will it keep your laptop cool, but your Dew as well.
Actually, you're pretty much guaranteed to need glasses at some point in your life anyway - normally, the eye gets more far-sighted as people age, so when you get older you'll be stuck with both reading glasses AND far-away glasses. It's simply not worth it in the long run. If you're near-sighted now, it will get to be less of a problem as you get older.
Then you have to consider the problems that a lot of people have with night vision and halos.
Besides, glasses make people look more intelligent.
Really? What's a boot? In England, it's a car trunk. In the US, it's footware. And in Newfoundland it's "I'm taking a walk aboot to Joe's t' get me a bottle'a screech, boy".
government employees who are paid 50 cents RMB per post supporting the government
Outsource it to a spammer or a script kiddie for half that. Even with today's exchange rate, that's still more tha 3 cents a post. A bot farm could reverse the trade deficit.
Works fine, just do like I said if your local net connection doesn't reach where you want. smartphones CAN make calls through your internet connection, unless your provider has disabled that functionality, in which case it sux 2 b u.
The balance board uses strain guages, which can't detect earthquakes to my knowledge
Sure they can - just put a 200-pound weight on it, and place it on the floor. Look at the design of some of the old seismographs - or even gravity wave detectors.

Besides, it's under warranty.

Or just say you're "sandboxing" your code.

Too-light skin color will be seen more and more as a disability if the ozone layer gets worse - if you're too light, you're toast.
Better a "natural tan" than an unnatural melanoma.

Good luck with that.
Any idea how many different, mutually incompatible, versions of English are out there?
Also, they can't mandate how a browser displays a page. That would require that they block text-only browsers, junk-busting proxies, etc.
Besides, who in their right mind friends anyone who plays farmville or mafia wars?
So ...
It's called Voice over IP for a reason ...
Those must be some powerful 'shrooms!

maiden == virgin. (maidenhead - aka the hymen - still intact)
Get a cell phone that can also use your wireless net connection like a lot of today's cell phones do.
For the poster - just get another cheap wireless router and use it as a wireless access point. The dlink 615 works fine and will cost you $50.00
It was the pineapple on the pizza he ate, not the booze.. Pineapple on pizza ... yuck! No wonder he puked it up in chunks.
Why couldn't we have a vote - we could have renamed it the "COlbert ROver Redundant System for Identification and VErification". - CORROSIVE.
The the next upgrade could be SUBsystem with VERification Software In Virtual Environments = SUBVERSIVE
Then NASA (Need Another Seven Astronauts) would get HUGE funding to track multiple SUBERSIVEs.

There was a report here on slashdot that the balance board hardware was actually VERY good. Maybe the MotionPlus could be useful.
My fingers are all digital, you insensitive clod!
Great for digital calculations.
And raising one of the middle ones signals "sign-extended mode".
You can have my digits when you pry them from my cold dead hands! :-)

No - it means you'll always look at the trnaslations and never learn what the underlying words were.
Also, their "skimming" thing is not going to work at all for speed-readers, or people who read out-of-sequence.
