What you're looking for is a Chromebook or Chromebox. Stripped-down, does all the basics really well and the new generation of Tegra K1-based Chromebooks have over 10 hours of battery life.
Google has already shown a couple of Android apps running natively on ChromeOS, and the proof of concept of basically all Android apps running as Chrome apps is another step in that direction.
Mozzarella should be the primary cheese, but there's nothing wrong with adding a bit of gorgonzola, parmesan, fontina, pecorino, provolone or scamorza for a bit of added flavor.
Yes, and that's why people are calling it what it really is: A piece of shit not worth wasting your time on. Their music is trite, dull, focus group-marketed milquetoast dross with no substance, no soul and no edge. No, you don't get to be edgy just because your weak-ass guitarist calls himself "the edge".
Bono needs to shut his fucking gob and walk the walk instead of just talking the talk. He's a tax-scamming, wildly-polluting (private jets and all) traitor to the Irish people.
Gorilla glass works absolutely great, as long as you're not constantly dropping your phone or keeping it in the same pocket as your keys.
Oddly enough, I see a lot more iPhones than Android phones with busted glass. Either there's something in the design of Apple's devices that makes them more fragile, or iPhone owner are careless klutzes who don't know the basics of looking after their expensive toys.
I wish I could find dumpsters with working PC components in them. At the company I work for, everything that isn't covered by a byback deal with the manufacturer is sent directly to a reuse/recycling company. Good for the environment and all that, but it sucks for us crafty fellows looking for free upgrades.
Luckily, my 2004-vintage Thinkpad T42 is still going strong (albeit on its third WLAN card, dunno what keeps frying them), but those Chromebooks are looking kinda tasty.
The Dell U2713HM is 2560x1440 at 27", I'm using one right now, and it's great. Right now it's $800 at dell.com with no rebates or sales currently on, I paid $600 for mine. It may only be 108 ppi, but it's a noticeable upgrade from the 95 ppi monitor I was using before.
Similar to what Aureal was doing with A3D back in the 90s, but obviously not tied to a specific piece of hardware like back then.
I enjoyed the Quake 3 demo, but it while it works decently well with just the player in the level, it sort of falls apart during the deathmatch. I think that's probably because the stock Q3 sounds have a bit of reverb baked in. I would love to hear what it would sound like with a complete set of reverb- and echo-less sound effects, so the RAYA can handle everything by itself, instead of working in top of the baked-in reverb.
There are divided opinions on the subject, and almost everyone who considers it anti-Semitic is looking at it from a very modern perspective, influenced by the happenings of the 20th century in particular.
Quoting Francis Wheen on the subject: "Those critics, who see this as a foretaste of 'Mein Kampf', overlook one, essential point: in spite of the clumsy phraseology and crude stereotyping, the essay was actually written as a defense of the Jews. It was a retort to Bruno Bauer, who had argued that Jews should not be granted full civic rights and freedoms unless they were baptised as Christians"
Even the chief rabbi of the UK, Jonathan Sacks, regards calling Marx anti-Semitic as an anachronism at best. What Marx wrote about the Jews was no worse (or better) than just about any other philosopher at the time. "Anti-Semitism" wasn't even an expression and no one had any idea of the horrors that would later befall the Jewish people.
Please don't interpret historic texts as if they were written only yesterday.
"The Jewish Question" was written by Bruno Bauer, not Karl Marx. Among other things, it agues that jews should give up their religious identity (presumably along with other religious people), to facilitate the creation of a truly secular state.
In "On The Jewish Question", Marx criticizes this idea, and argues that a secular state does not necessarily require individuals to give up their religions. Any number of religions can easily exist within a secular state with no state religion, in fact it is the best possible solution.
You are aware that Marxism talks of the process towards a post-capitalist state with communal decision-making and limited government bureaucracy, right?
Totalitarianism, top-heavy management and the like are the polar opposites of what Marxism stands for.
Again, come back when you've actually read Das Kapital, rather than just the Communist Manifesto (which was deliberately written to be provocative).
The end of private ownership of the means of production is the way forward, as is the move to collective ownership where instead of profits lining the pockets of a few fat cats, workers are fairly compensated for their work.
No, what I'm getting at is that every packet should be treated the same, and not receive preferential handling in relation to other packets based on which subnet it originated from, and how much cash the content provider put in the pocket of the ISP.
As long as you're not (willfully or otherwise) specifically dropping 50% more Wikipedia packets than Facebook packets, you're not violating net neutrality.
The whole point is to treat all data equally, no matter which device, OS, application, source or destination is involved. It is the ONLY way to ensure an open and innovative Internet.
"Net neutrality (also network neutrality or Internet neutrality) is the principle that Internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the Internet equally, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, and modes of communication."
That's what Net Neutrality is, as opposed to whatever it is you're describing in your post.
Net neutrality isn't about giving everyone the exact same internet connection speeds. Net neutrality is about securing that everyone gets equal access to services. Most importantly, it means that ISPs can't artificially create "fast lanes" and "slow lanes" for various services, depending on how lucrative of a deal they strike with content providers.

Hitachi Global Storage Technologies was bought by Western Digital in 2011.
Thinkpads used to have titanium frames, but those were internal and I don't think they were one-piece. The outside was black plastic, of course.
Milling a laptop body from a single piece of aluminum is over-the-top excessive and a bit silly. Of course Apple wanted to do it before everyone else.

Microsoft Boob?
Sick burn, brah.
If you'd put any effort into it, it might even have worked a little bit.
This is a full-blown U2 album

And what, pray tell, is honest about exploiting the workers for personal gain?
The über-rich will need to be forced to accept a better society, but that's ok. They've had it coming for a long long time.

You're talking about totalitarianism under the false guise of socialism. For instance in the case of the USSR.
Come back when you've read up on what Marxism really is. Hint: It's not the same as USSR-style communism.
Learned, used and discarded. It is not worth the effort to argue in a civil manner with blithering idiots. They deliberately misunderstand everything.

Red Hat used to hand out a poster with the complete Linux 0.01 source code, at trade fairs etc. It's pretty neat.

I see, that's a very odd issue. Obviously I haven't encountered it since I run a single monitor setup.
