I agree with you, however many people (today) lack the intelligence to understand the scientific explainations. It's much easier for a simpleton to understand "God works in mysterious ways" than to try to understand a scientific TOE.
Perhaps some day education will be effective enough to teach the vast majority of people to think rationally, but I don't think this will happen in my lifetime.
I just had blood drawn last Saturday. The old nurse couldn't get a vein in my left arm, so she switched to my right. She seemed to get it in there pretty well, but now I have a blue/yellow bruise the size of a baseball!
I have been using VNC on my ipaq 1945 (320x240) over a 56k bluetooth modem into a computer running at 800x600 and it's really not too bad. Sure, you have to scroll around a bit, but it really is usable.
If you move the processor into the device, you'd want the ram and video in there to get decent bus speeds. This leaves very little upgradability/customization on the device.
However, if everything except peripherals is in the device, you have much more flexibility with custom processors, video, and other hardware. This is what would make the device interesting!
To deal with the heat, you require a common device form factor. Slip that sucker into the terminal which provides the cooling unit!
PDAs are getting pretty powerful already. If power consumption (terminal supplies power), most cooling, and display are shipped off the PDA, you can save quite a bit of space. I would imagine walkman size is possible.
I have a similar problem with AutoCAD on XP. I have been able to get away with running the draftsmen as Power Users instead of Admins. Of course they grumble once in a while when they cannot install updates for AutoCAD, but oh well.
An example of animal greed:
We had a bunch of neighbors' dogs over to play. Each dog got a rawhide. One of the dogs took the rawhides from all the others and guarded them visciously.
Did he need all those rawhides? No.
Could he even carry them all around? No.
Did he have a pile of rawhides at home? Yes.
I don't know how else to explain this except for an instinctual greed.
In fact, most animal behavior is greedy. The only times animals work together is when the benfits to each by working together outweighs each working alone.
Your greedy businessman does not see how sharing with the $2/hr worker will benefit him more than not sharing. Perhaps if he can be made to see how helping the poor helps himself, he will give a better wage.
Read a book on behavioral ecology. You might be surprised.
I've got a push mower since I have a small yard. It doesn't work nearly as well as a gas mower. I end up using the weed-whacker (electric) to trim all the stuff the push mower missed.

If you GIS for "Big Bertha" (a brand of golf club), make sure you have SafeSearch On.

Ah you bastard! Don't use the c-word!

You're supposed to clean an oven? Hmmm, now I'm afraid to see what's in there...
Thanks for the tip. I have a different Activision game with a corrupted CD. I'll see if they will exchange it.
I got that very card from Sandisk for $122.95 including shipping last week from CompUPlus. So far, it is working very well.

That's why I got one of these.
I have trouble finding a HD smaller than 20GB at my local shops.
I think you mean this: Where's George?
I would feed it to a stray dog.
Darnit, if you move the processor into the TERMINAL ...

You probably said Yes when ZoneAlarm asked if it was OK to let LSASS access the Internet.
And we Americans complain about registering cars and guns ...
But you have to actually leave your home to go there! The horror!
That's nothing! I read it as 'The Novell as Spyware'!
Order away!
Ouch

Something like this?
Pods would work in the winter. Scooters don't fare very well in Minnesota snow.
