This thing is so tiny and thin that cute girls were actually looking at me when I whipped it out of my bag.
The keyboard is pretty good and what I'd expect from a 12" Dell laptop (it's actually substantially better than the keyboard on my Dell Inspiron 2100, a 12" laptop). That said, the keys are small and the backspace key is tiny (read: sucks), but the keyboard still might suit your needs.
They say it's bound to happen soon, although nobody knows exactly how and when. Well, perhaps the answer has arrived.
Am I the only one who is puzzled about what this actually means? Perhaps the editors should actually be editors and eliminate unnecessary sentences in stories that don't make sense.

Really. Most people think of badminton as a sport you and your cousins play at Memorial Day in the front yard. Quite far from the truth, as I've found out.
Badminton is actually an awesome, fast-paced sport which can be played at practically any gymnasium with minimal equipment and minimum spending. It requires strategy, strength, agility, and stamina, which makes it a great workout. It can be played with as few as two people and as many as four, which makes it an ideal social game.
How could badminton be fast-paced? Try: your opponent serving you a small ball with a parachute at 120 miles per hour. It is said that a singles match can force a player to sprint a mile back and forth between the sidelines of the court.
Even just try it: here is a link to the United Stated Badminton Association where you can find places and people to play near you.
I've found that a properly mounted bowling ball works best. One does not need to worry about any torque applied to the ball and string/wire.
It's easy too: all you need to do is properly have a hole drilled in which you can place a metal rod with a loop at the end. Attach the wire to the loop (very securely), attach the other end to the ceiling, and voila, you have a much reduced chance of looking like a computer game character with the "flat" cheat turned on.
I've read well over 80 of the highest-rated posts on this board over the past thirty minutes and I have noticed one thing: almost each one of them that favors monotheism makes a generalization that all atheists are bad.
Being an atheist myself, I am offended at such comments, but I certainly respect your right to say them (as per First Amendment to the United States Constitution). However, I feel that the generalization that all atheists will "jump down the throat of anyone who so much as whispers the G-word" is unfair to make. In my experience, I have found that the atheists I know accept all religions. As one of them, I believe everyone has the right to believe in what they want and that there should be no party that takes that right away from them. Conversely, I don't feel that anyone has the right to take away by beliefs either, especially using generalizations like those that have been used in these comments.
I wish the outspoken monotheists (note: certain ones who speak out against atheists, not all monotheists and thereby avoiding a generalization) would not try to argue that atheists have wrong beliefs. Just because those are their beliefs do not make them right. Conversely, I feel that monotheists have as much right as I do to believe in what we feel we should believe in.
Let's leave the religious hatred and animosity at the door. Collectively, we'll have such a better time here on Earth.

If you think about it, the centripedal force is it's own reaction force. If the force is acting radially while an object is at the top of its rotation, then the force is acting in the exact opposite direction after pi radians. After 2*pi radians, the sum of the force on the object is zero, including reaction force. That is the basic requirement for Newton's Third Law.
If I were to push with a +10N force against a wall, and it didn't noticibly move, then it must be pushing against me with a -10N force, according to the law. These two forces sum to zero, and coincidentally, are in static equilibrium. The same holds true with centripedal force.
I've found physics very interesting, but one has to take the course (or actually know physics somehow) in order to argue it.
A very interesting experiment, however there is no such thing as a "centrifugal force." The results from this "centrifugal force" is simply a side effect from the fact that the thing is spinning really really fast.
The only force operating on a rotating body in isolation is what is known as "centripedal" force. Using Newton's second law, the centripedal force can be found using F=mv^2/r, where v = the linear velocity of the outermost atom. One could also calculate it using the rotational equivalent of F=ma (t=Ia).
Centripedal force acts radially inward from the edge of the rotating body and is responsible for keeping the matter rotating in a circular fashion. A good example of this force is a ball attached by a string to a person swinging it in a circle. There is tension in the string, which in effect, is the centripedal force. Without that force (even if the body has an initial momentum) the body would not be able to rotate.

I bought this notbook-style USB keyboard a few weeks ago and have been very happy with it.

At first, I read the first part of the last line as "That being said, I would sign my wife up for this mission."

Wow. So I read the title of the article as "China Joins EU."

I'm not happy when my government uses a convicted and virtually unchanged monopoly for big $$$ business.
I thought the United States government was supposed to protect the market from these monopolies, not protect the monopolies from the market.

I saw something like this at PC Expo in New York a few years ago. It was a modular device that could be attached to a model of Palm handheld.
It was great: they demoed using a map and playing a game with it.

amen to that. thank you for taking your time to respond.
