I guess it depends on your aim. If emulating Windows with a Linux platform is the key, but accidentally falling into OS/X territory, then Ubuntu is where ya go. If you're looking for something remotely server based, you choose anything but. I don't care if they say they have a server platform, it's about like Windows saying they have a server. Anything with a primary gearing of being simple to use is by very definition the antithesis of a server since it means a billion layers.
One downside to SSD is the speed, so most of the netbook industry has backed away from it. I talk from experience, I've owned & upgraded by old Asus EEE PC.
Funny since my Acer Aspire One is relatively commonly used by a lot of people who own the same thing, and it's not bigger, more expensive, nor does it have more gadgets. It comes standard with 1gb ram, 160 gb harddrive (since SD is ridiculously slow and holds less data), Atom N470 1.6 Ghz processor, and I bought it for $249. Of course it was my choice to upgrade the battery since it only handed 2-3 hours of worktime, so I plugged an additional $60 into it for a 10-12 hour battery.
Fits the bill, I'd say. Of course, there's always the cyclical battle that happens once you actually concrete it's usefulness... how no real user would deal with a 10 inch monitor, or a keyboard so small, etc etc. Silly arguments when the only true choice is personal. I chose mine because I didn't have much cash at the time, and it fit my portability needs, also.
In spite of some good information, you're attempted deameaning attitude has really made you look bad. Perhaps you should rethink your idea of superiority and remember that the stereotype of basement-dwelling geeks is very outdated and out of sync with the real world.
yes, it's easy... just find what speed/variety of ram goes in, find where your ram goes, and plug it in. I've done it with an Asus EEE pc, and an Acer Aspire One. Both have the ram available in a door on the bottom of the motherboard, available from the outside of the system.
Go to Fry's electronics or whatever store is near you to try it out... geez I mean I'm a Linux zealot to the extreme, and even I see that a Mac is great as a desktop for people who want a blackbox solution. That being said, it's super-expensive compared to non-Apple. I would say x86, but... they run x86;)
Saying DMCA violating reminds me so much of people in non-english colonized/owned/whatever countries talking badly about the queen. You don't speak that way about our royal highness! It's blasphemy! Umm... In your country...
(I'm American, just displaying the entire picture;) )
I had the same issue. I was at a small company as the Linux/Unix admin/engineer and I had a laptop that I administered/patched/etc. They refused to allow me to run Linux natively. I had to create an Linux instance in a VM and full screen it to use it as my primary desktop. I left there... that's just stupid.
UNIX is a copyright, and Linux just follows the guidelines that UNIX originally had. Well, for the most part;) It could be ambiguously argued in court, and the actual "meaning" of the UNIX copyright being described so nebulous in court that even Windows could be seen as a violator of UNIX copyrights... (that's a far stretch but hey... it's POSIX compliant somewhere in there haha)
Pretty much by black-and-white standards, if it contains UNIX anywhere in it's name or has the code of UNIX or UNIX-named OS's within it, then it would be in violation. That would require an intense scan by court-appointed (or "experts") people to see if that is true. Since most of the code has gone through the wringer quite a few times since the current SCO even thought about the word UNIX, I seriously doubt any SunOS/Solaris, BSD, SCO, AIX, etc, code was left unsterilized.
So what you're saying is due to the fact that we've lowered our particulate creation that we've destroyed the environment... Let's keep the SUV out of the equation since that was the industry.
So... they're stupid because you don't agree with them?
Don't label anyone "greens" and you'll start to understand how the world really is. Pigeon-holing people leads to myopic thinking, which we see here.
For one, there's been massive debates between individuals who were/are pro-earth on whether nuclear would be a viable energy solution cleanly, with very little human impact. We've come far in the storage/disposal of decayed fission material, but we're still pretty dark-aged about it. If you look at the entire picture, you'd realize there's no black and white.
For two, solar is used... a lot. It's upsurge is a pro, and will continue to rise quietly because it's "in the background" so to speak. Let's not get silly and start bringing scenarios that are idiotic into the picture, especially since tortoises don't live in the deserts. APS in arizona, and many many other companies now offer solar power alternatives. Wind power is a huge piece of california, and is upsurging throughout the united states in areas that are prone to wind.
For three, with such a selfish attitude of me me me, you'll never see the whole picture on this one. Hydroelectric dams do make alot of electricity, however they also hold back many breeding patterns of fish and waterlife, along with destroying the ecosystem within by changing the temperatures. To top it off, the areas below the dam are basically parched in comparison to previous which drastically changes the area... a bit of an issue when your depriving water to another culture/community/country.
For four... what the hell are you talking about?
For five... well it looks like you've got things right here... except that the only thing coming out of a cooling tower of a nuclear planet is heat.
When "we" say "planet", we mean the ecosystem, plants, and lifeforms. It's obvious the planet's not going to be damaged since it's a ball of magma with a core, and some floating cooled debris floating on top.
Yep, that about sums it up. Don't put tags on things, just stop dumping shit into the air. Most just think that we are doing nothing wrong, and don't really understand that if you take things toxic, dump them into the environment, they only filter out through some form of respiration or absorption to transform them into a material that another object can transform that into another substance. We and animals that respirate are filters... and that's just the simplest way to think of it since there's far more than respiration that is hit by all of it.
You're aware that the Arizona immigration law was because of the massive influx of illegal aliens, right? Just wanted to clear that up since you're attempting to do 2 things extremely stupid: bring Sarah Palin into a "Democratic American Star & Stripes ceremony" (since she's republican), along with attempt to somehow mix those idiotic tea party people with something dealing with keeping up with the law.
You're excused this time, don't let it happen again. Have a great day.
Batteries lose their charge, it's a given. It's just that with the ones nowadays, they have to hold a higher charge so they dissipate faster. Well, also the residual trickle of a charge to detect if the button's been pressed to power it on;)

That was a parody of sir mixalot done by wierd al yankovick.
So it's love for sir mixalot and wierd al.

News at 11, Intel Atom slower than AMD Athlon 64....
AMD has no competitor yet for the Intel Atom.... yet.
It's not a performance niche, it's a power conservation niche, for laptop workload.

Have you ever tried to replace a netbooks ram?
yes, it's easy... just find what speed/variety of ram goes in, find where your ram goes, and plug it in.
I've done it with an Asus EEE pc, and an Acer Aspire One.

Costs me about $0.40 a round, now...

How about a company named for a giant fireball. Oh wait, that's Sun. :)
Yeah, they burnt out and were absorbed by Oracle ;)
Would the early years of Linux be when Ubuntu came out, in this case?
*ducks*

Admiration of the galactic body is by no means optimism.
He never stated anything that wasn't true, he merely put things into a certain light.
Yes, we know not to use automated machines in our wars on other planets now.
... here the only thing I could think of is the Hayabusa sportbike hah
