This would extend the capabilities for our oceans , especially for real time data and observing trends for global warming. The possibilities, even if a city cannot be established, are still endless.
Before this discussion turns into a patent debate I just want to say that good code would do Microsoft so much more good than these forays outside of Windows.
Please, just please focus on the consumer again and release something the world can appreciate or spend every last dime trying to strangle Linux/Apple/Google/anything innovative that isn't yours.

Though this begs the question of how many people actually use a laptop in this fashion. I myself cannot see it entirely useful (e.g. typing) or comfortable.
Right. An account without any write-access and a quick script that will take their shell history log and pipe it to you should do the trick. Try something first, limiting absolutely everything you think is critical, but if this fails then you may have to deny them. Hope this helps and good luck.
Agreed. Also, if they can support wireless why not 'network' your music? Setup a media server and allow the laptops access, so you can play whatever music you have wherever you want in the house - assuming you have enough speakers and the soundcards are somewhat bearable.
This https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo explains why 'sudo' is preferable to 'su'. I believe that it is due to the nature of new Linux users; they don't want to break anything or the ability to. Hats off to the devs for that.
If you really want a root shell, you can do that too but 'sudo !!' has become my best friend.
Could this lead to a reliable manned mission to Mars, or for that matter elsewhere in space? If these sails are indeed more efficient than fuel, could that displaced weight be replaced with life support (e.g. nutrition, H2O, O2)?
exactly. anti society, the rebels and such, become popular in a sense because they are the ones that are truly individual, if you can call the masses individual. it is just society (or in this case a corporate company) trying to cash in on the rebellion of pop culture. why buy that crap when hasboro has released an R2-D2 unit that is completely badd @$$.
its sad that even your own ISP needs to take advantage of you and your computer. i am in favor on the "fake" comp, get a crap one and have them install their programs on that. the self install would be nice too. this just shows how greedy and low companies can stoop to make a fast buck. you could say they are tryin to help out the economy, but in essence, if we delete these programs...we could be called terrorists....:-)
Who was the idiot in the patent office who gave this company the ability to patent this. This is so absurd, it's like McDonald's patenting a hamburger. They have done well in sales, but with the patent, they could force less profitable restaurants out of business and monopolize the fast food service industry, which by the way is illegal. This patent should have never been issued in the first place.
Slashdot Mirror
If anything I can see members of the scientific community establishing a platform similar to this. Scripps already has the Flip-ship ( http://www.sio.ucsd.edu/voyager/flip/ ), NOAA's NWS weather buoys + hurricane forecasting system, and MBARI's MOOS system ( http://www.mbari.org/moos/mooring/mooring.htm ).

Take your "team" to the "superbowl"?
Though the article is similar to the ThinkGeek parody found here http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/superpiipii.html

Indeed. When seeing the opening of Star Wars III it felt as though I was entering a poorly made space shooter.
The move back to "the old-fashioned way" is a wise choice. I do not want a CGI Ford bouncing around like Yoda. Even Del Toro (for the Hobbit) seems to agree http://www.ifitsmovies.com/2008/04/28/guillermo-del-toro-talks-the-hobbit-plus-its-sequel/.
And why not CGI? Well, look at Blade Runner, Alien, and the original Star Wars movies. They felt so real because the models were real.
I can see "Need Liver or Kidneys?" coming about in the recommended searches.
And that would be why in the world did they go to the trouble of patenting this? The foreseeable answer is that they needn't have taken the time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question

Are you saying politicians could actually be useful?
My head just exploded.
We will find this jet kerosene and bring it to justice.

Exactly. Automation excludes creativity. If it were that easy I could just do the following:

These aren't the .ISOs you're looking for.

"...the distributed nature of the grid allows them to access that computing power from any part of the worldwide network..." Should be soon.
