So they set up the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and lie about the problems like they lie about everything else, just like the American Government - Easy!
Yes, this man is 100% right, and that's why this phone in a phone idea might have some merit to it, next it could be external phone for your larger tablet or laptop with a 3G card.
I want a small "box" in my backpack, a screen in my hand and a headset in my ear. Optional long life battery add-ons, optional audio system add-on with speakers like a ghetto blaster, USB projector, satellite dishes, musical instruments, medical devices, robotics and drones - the current tablets are slowly getting there with bluetooth and wifi, but nothing can progress until the iSheep are ready to move forward.

How do we know they are greetings? I greet my friends with words like "Bitch", and... well other not so nice words, what if we've just started an intergalactic flame war in a language we don't even understand?
or worse
What if they are saying "Please kill the human race"?
or even worse
What if we've violated some kind of marine copyright law we don't even know about and the whales rise up against us?
Yes its hard work, and it has many ups and downs, however
- You choose your hours - You choose who you work with - You choose who you work for - Don't need to apply for holidays - Can be drunk at work - When you abuse your boss, you enjoy it
Over the years I've done night/weekend jobs like washing dishes and pizza delivery to support myself, also made myself available for any small jobs from friends to keep me physically fit like gardening, rearranging furniture around houses, setting up complete offices instead of just the computers/network. Doing the shit jobs is priceless in the long term, if a friend wants their laptop fixed they know its going to cost them a bottle of whiskey and a home cooked meal before I even look at it:)
Its taken 15 years, but now I'm being paid to study Tourism (this is a big thing for me, I didn't even finish year 10), gave my mother a profitable and sustainable hosting company for her retirement and successfully found investors who want me to do project management for them.
Grow a pear and take the risks, you will never regret it.
I always wanted to see a good graphical MUD. If we obsolete the CLI, sometime after the chaos and riots in the IT industry someone will make a non-CLI MUD, which, I can play when I'm drunk!
But unfortunately for drunk me, the CLI isn't going anywhere, when "Scripting" turns into "Automated Systems Function Management App" that I create with a point and click interface, I will say I'm too old for computers.
OP has a fundamental lack of understanding on how technology works I guess
There's nothing that make's your enemy happier than when you dump a bunch of technology in their area which they don't have yet, I say bring the drones and robots and viruses and automated tanks, the more the better! After the enemy come out of their caves and bunkers in the desert and get some technologies, we'll have the more awesome Robot Wars in history, they'll be poor kids gathering parts and trying to build their own personal T-800's, and, the top it all off, kids will finally have something cool to hack apart from boxes in server rooms or their mobile phone. Blendo eat your heart out.
If its robot vs robot then eventually many less people will day
BTW I'm in Melbourne Australia, so I'm more scared of getting shot by my local police than a terrorist attack, can you yanks send down some drones that won't shoot kids?
I think many people here are forgetting a few important things about the Pi...
- Linux vs Android : I've had a few Android devices now - none of which have the functionality and ease of use compared to a Linux device, all the way from a Linux Modem or VoIP system to the back end of an ESXi cluster (or vSphere or whatever they call it these days), for someone with a decent understanding of Linux/Unix varieties the Raspberry Pi is the obvious solution. Entire companies have ran on server's that have less grunt than a Pi and now its all been reduced down to the size if a phone... AND
- Power Consumption (and price) : 3 watts at peak usage.... 3 watts!!! Does this mean that I can just use 4 x AA rechargable batteries and a 30cm (12") x 30cm Solar panel and run it forever (or until the batteries need replacing)? Maybe put a small panel on the parcel shelf in your car so your CarPC is always running and ready to go? How about something more critical like medical equipment which can have sensors plugged into the GPIO and use solar/wind/batteries to monitor patients in poor areas? No other commercially available system in the past has had this much CPU Power/Ram with such little energy consumption and price, citizens of 3rd world countries might have a chance to "own" a computer and, even better - its open source - which will boost Linux usage worldwide and take a market share from the big players like Apple and Microsoft.
- Size : And weight. It wont be too long until we see computers like this embedded into clothing and other parts of every day life, and the Pi is just the start of that, as tech gets smaller and cheaper, we'll be able to product it in abundance - data for example - we went from trading Floppy Disks, to Harder Small Floppy Discs, to CD's, and hard drives, to DVD's and now its time for solid state joy, what next? Trading complete plug in system.....
- Autoplay? Screw that... for $50-$100 my cost, I can now give a customer a box and all they need to do is plug in HDMI and turn it on, it will give a full length video presentation on any screen or TV with HDMI in, with a keyboard and mouse you can give them a fully interactive product to play with, and with a wifi adapter and internet access you could use the box as a tech support node in their office, add a camera you have a portable video conferencing screen.
- Hmm I might want Autoplay (Annoying Customers) : You know, the type that harass you on how to play their mp4 rip of Game of Thrones, generally family members and friends that charging a decent rate to help would make you look like an ass so you do it for free to be nice? They will be a thing of the past, you can give them a box that plugs into their TV - which they plug *THEIR* USB stick into, and it will play almost any format with an easy to use menu. I'm no economist but I predict the savings and health costs purely because of this will be in the billions.
People need to stop being so obsessed with having the fastest and greatest and look at what they can do now. I paid almost $2000 for a Dual Celery 466 with 256 meg ram, 18 gig 7200 rpm HDD and a Voodoo 3, now days a $50 card would eat it alive and use 1/200th of the energy. In a time when the world is having an energy crisis this kind of thing is kind of important. I run my laptop, stereo and lighting in my smoking/drinking room on 12v batteries (also preparing for zombies), and once we get decent USB LED projectors, the Pi is going to be the main part of it all.

What if you have a stut.. a stut... a stut... a stutter-LIMIT OF VIDEO LENGTH
but when I take over the world, you will all be batteries for war machine... just saying...

I've been looking for new ways to keep my flux capacitor cool.
We don't drink warm beer mate, if you open a warm beer at a party its the last one you drink there.
The "Pound" is used to weight American Beef, the "Kilogram" is used to measure things like Uranium. Surely you can join the dots from there...
Facebook, Google and probably Apple make money selling customer data
but
Non-Profit organisation (organization) gets fined for losing customer data
I know its different data but cmon, what's the world coming to?

I do PHP, sorry purists.
I agree, I've seen it done with a Fishing Rod, a Helium Balloon and a Go-Pro camera.

I thought the government was actually listening to me for a bit there, then I realised (realized) it was a bad joke :(
I sell more stuff on gumtree than ebay, and there's no electronic transaction record, and they pay cash, and its free...
Enjoy the red tape shit fight

do you cry while you masturbate alone at night, bitter internet puke?
I used to, but thankfully your mum is doing cheap webcam shows for me now.
Seriously! I can't even begin to imagine how Apple would put on a, whatever this is... I'm sure the staff will be told they like it as well
