batteries are the big cost and well need to be replaced every 5 years or so. smaller systems like those on rvs however have become drooped in price enough to warrant converting them to solar and many owners have. of course a rv uses far less power then a house and only has 1 or 2 deep cycle battery's.
your video card is fine your problem is the dual card setup linux support on that is crap at best. get a laptop with just a nivida card and it will work fine. or as others have said a system 76 there boxes they make sure they run linux fine.
body parts in the black market go for at least a quarter million. i have seen story's of that. the poor kid should have gotten much more then some apple junk.
if we let people sell body parts don't be surprised if someone kills you just to take everything to sell it. we would be talking millions of dollars hear.
or the simple fact you spend more in mining hardware even the new low power stuff then its worth. if your not doing anything illagle with bitcoin why are you worried whose watching lol.
usenet was still the first place pirates would send there stuff. then it would trickle down into irc then to file sites. with bittorrent they just put there stuff directly on there maybe threw a privet site/tracker at first but then it pops up on puplic ones. so really usenet has lost its user base.
i second that with steam for linux and microsoft just screwing up at every turn linux has a real shot to piss on there grave, but lets face it linux devs need to get there head out of there own asses before that goes down. things like better hardware support for newer stuff and of course killing off the unity ui.
steam is the first real test of linux games and sales. if the stuff they do port does do well then others will come along. the nice thing if you own the windows copy you get the linux one for free.
ubuntu was heading there back with vista all the users liked the ubuntu gnome 2 combo. then gnome lost here minds and Canonical came running right behind them. if anything those 2 teams have set linux back years. and being microsoft cant do anything original they steal the ideas from 2 bad teams and stuff them in windows. and on the linux side of things despite them massive uproar and mass exit from unity to well anything else for some reason it will not go away.
onlive is going belly up so that will not be a step they take. lets face it unless your on some super unlimited uncapped fiber line the quality suffers to much for steaming games to work.
the 360 is powerpc because the x86 exploite of the original xbox is and still is a weakness of x86 its self. so if they released a x86 360 it would have been cracked wide open on pretty much launch day. going powerpc it took a few years.
That's becouse e17 uses softwhare composition and not that lame softwhere opengl fallback unity and gnome use its true 2d done correctly. So you get nice fast Wm that's on par with the big guys. Just sad most users forgot its even still alive.
i don't think my tablet will ever replace my netbook android is nice but it still cant replace a full os. if you like kubuntu you should give bidhi linux a spin the e17 wm is epic and nobody seems to care it stomps everything else flat. does composting without the need of any opengl. and not the lame softwhere opengl ubuntu uses that eats up the cpu.
they went to Microsoft and said we want to put xp on those and they told them to go to hell you know was not the latest greatest hardware that was back when they where using a 900mhz celeron. so they put linux on them and despite being non windows they where selling like mad. then of course the atom released sales rose more and Microsoft walked back in the picture waving lots of bribe money saying you should only sell these with windows.
its not that netbook did not sell well but they only sell once. you don't look to upgrade it every 6 months and only replace it if it brakes or gets so old it cant even do the web and none of them are that old yet. not to say they didn't try to release bigger badder netbooks every 6 months its just nobody cares because there base function is the web, tablets where meant as the next generation netbook same functions half the size sevrel times the battery life but what happened was it also started taking over mobile gaming.so the need for faster nicer and cheaper tablets rose. so now tablet maker have a throw away device people will replace every 6 months.

yea but that's not a smart move when the devs can make a steam edition for less money. much of the gamespy stuff is legicay games.

glu will probably just use it for there own games. steam has took over for everything else.

at least bitcoin goes up and down wile the usd just does down.

i did the same thing with vista all my boxes where running ubuntu. of course this was pre unity. now it would be mint on my side it.

vita has the hardware but no games. tablets are taking over handheld gaming probably due to you know the far cheaper prices.
Enlighmentment has came a long way you should give it a look. to me its surpassed everyone. bodhi uses it.

so awesome it will never touch anything i own.

no moving parts and just being built tough as nails helps.

you answered your own question they will not legalize it because they make more money from fines seizures etc.
