It's really cool and clever... but how do you fill it on earth with all its delicious gravity?
Unless you load it up *in* space, but that doesn't really solve the problem does it?
When my wireless isn't working, my delete key does weird unexpected things, and there is the most offensively named program ever (The GIMP), I can take solace in the fact that my operating system source is peer reviewed.
And for the record my "work systems" are a group of linux boxes providing services in an academic laboratory environment, not a nuclear power station.
In this particular setting the convenience of ubuntu far outweighs the stability concerns (of which I reiterate for me do not exist. Hell our windows 2003 servers are crazy stable as well)
All hail debian policy! It is the one true path! All who fail to see it's beauty are blinded by the devil!
I dropped debian for my home machines and work systems a long time ago. Ubuntu rocks me. It's everything good about debian (apt-get) without everything bad (debian policy, debian usability).
Hallelujah praise Jebus. Someone that has learned from history.
Early adopters always get the ass pummel. Things typically get better. Just not fast enough to suit my tastes.
Wow, all the comments seem to be something along the lines of, "Eh, sonny! I don't need your new-fangled wireless technologies! That nest of cables behind my desk is the way it's supposed to be, because it's the way it's always been!"
I love wireless technology. I think why it's received so well in the real world and not so much on slashdot is because it's a technology for people. It makes things easier for real people, not so much for geeks.
Some people will respond "How hard can plugging in a mouse be!?". Those people have never worked tech support. Even bluetooth pairing is too complicated.
Slashdot Mirror
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but didn't you just build a dam on a nice canyon-y river?

In this case: bling = my computer knowing what time it is.

Yeah, that was snarky and unproductive to the discussion, but it's sunday morning and I just don't feel like debating right now.

Thank you! Nobody ever mentions how The GIMP is *the* most offensively named program I have ever used.
Umm, excel? Try Lotus 1-2-3. Foolish coycat mortals.

I bet it was written in java.
Exactly! The argument against a stable binary driver interface makes me want to start killing open source hippies left and right.
