LIGO is not just "upcoming". It's already running, though not 24x7x365, and taking data. You can see some of the early papers at the preprint archive: search for "LIGO" in the author field.
Apple-Z, for me. Anyway, I've hacked my.emacs files to make Emacs behave like WordStar. Originally, this was a learning adaptation: I'd used WordStar in high school, and still had the keystrokes in my "muscle memory". This rapidly became a survival skill when I became a sysadmin: I could not answer any Emacs questions because I never knew what the standard keybindings were. For that, it was worth the hand-tweaking of mode files.
Yeah, but that's a truly crap system. Decimal time? Come on. At least let us retain some of our intuition for what "1 pm" means. Quick, what does @248.000 mean? Is it lunch time in the Geneva? Everyone has a hard-earned intuition for what "5 minutes" or "a couple of hours" means. Don't mess with the units: offsets are fine because they're easy to deal with without resorting to pencil and paper.
I actually have it, and it doesn't balance very well (or at all, really) on the lap. It's OK in bed, if you sit cross-legged. On a desk, it's great because you can stow a keyboard under it.

so, there's this thing called a printer, see? and you can print out the maps of the area you'll be travelling in beforehand, see? :)
it's removable media with a preview.
You just have to pick a diagonalizing basis, and all will become clear.
I'd trust one with a Reset button less.

excellent! natural cooling!
One word: drag.

meh. deal with it. people need laptops to be productive outside the office.

maybe?
Agreed, re 512MB being bare minimum. I stuffed my 667MHz TiBook with 768MB, and have never (well, hardly ever) had problems with swapping.
Well, you can read the paper here:

And we can look forward to the script kiddie down the block turning the TV on and off, as well as raising and lowering the blinds.
You'll be wanting Exposé: I was skeptical, but I can't live without it, now.
you missed the pr0n.

pen/pencil and paper are remarkably useful, i find.
"TMHO"? Trade Mark Humble Opinion? Man, this intellectual property thing is getting out of hand.
