When have any of those things you mentioned other than nuclear war ever come close to happening outside of a sci-fi novel? Why don't you concentrate on real problems.
Having the humility to admit you have a problem like that is the first step, so you've probably got a good head start right there. Just think to yourself when you want to say something smart, "Will I sound like a prick if I say this (this way)?" I usually forget that part...
I bought a DVD of Star Trek comics (possibly the nerdiest thing I've ever done and that's saying a lot) at one point and I have been reading them on my Nexus 7 with Perfect Viewer with no real issues other than figuring out how to reset all the options (by default it's set up for right-to-left reading, among other things I wanted to change) and it's great for that. I have some other PDF stuff I should test it with but I'd say it's near perfect so far.
It will never be anything like the computer example. Even on its last legs, the computer can be mined for usable metal. I don't think I can break a bitcoin down into 1s and 0s and reuse them.
What if he wants an open operating system with proprietary drivers? And there's no need for this: "Bending over sideways for a paranoid corporation just to get high definition pornography in 3D on your notebook sounds like a real bad idea to me."
Yes. Yes you are. I do a lot of downloading and uploading of decently sized files, as well as streaming HD video and playing online games, and I'd like to be able to do the latter without it being affected by the former, and I'd like the former to happen as fast as possible to make it more convenient.
Your thinking makes no sense to me. Kickstarter is designed to get funding for a commercial endeavor. I dare you to go to any venture capitalist or investment firm without a working prototype. And no, "being that far along" that you can make a working prototype is exactly when you need an investment to mass produce something. Being able to make one working geegaw and being able to make 1 million geegaws to identical specifications and with a low margin of failure are not in any way the same thing. Investing in a product that lacks a working prototype isn't even gambling. It's throwing your money away.
I'm not sure what a "platinum" card is, but if you want to pretend the hardware differences between number of shader units and clockspeeds and amount of RAM on different cards will suddenly go away if you use open source drivers, be my guest. Unless you want to talk about overclocking of different cards with the same number of shader units, etc. which is something that people can already easily do.
This clients need considerably less that 100 mbits at the client end of the connection. I have deployed a ton of them and the bandwidth used is usually around 10-20mb or 25-50 mb if you are doing extensive multimedia support (like upstream audio). The backend connections between the switches will obviously need to be more, but they won't e PoE connections, either.
Who says this is supposed to be competition for the Raspberry Pi at all? Intel is trying to integrate as much as possible into their native chips. A shrink in form factor for lightweight PCs completely makes sense in that line.
That's actually wrong. It indeed slows initial piracy spreading. Numbers, sadly, are in the industry and not in academia.
So, where is a valid source of these numbers, specifically as it pertains to eBooks?
In the case of eBook piracy, the DRM used in ePubs is so easy to break that anyone can download an app an break it. Much easier than for DRM encumbered video and audio, which are usually broken during or before their release periods. The only person that ePub DRM inconveniences is a legitimate buyer who wants to swap his books around to new devices.
Animation is something that should be used minimally in presentations, if even at all. I have seen very few presentations where the animations were to anyone's benefit.
So how does this compare to Game Maker, or Stencyl or any of the other items like it? That's not to say it's a bad product, but does it have anything that makes it stand out from the crowd?

Where does this even mention "the elderly?" It mentions people with terminal ilnesses, which can start very young indeed.
If only there were some way for me to tell which permissions an app will use when I install it!
Is it a difference a politician can even appreciate? I doubt it.

Now even our spacecraft are getting bailouts!

Are the bizarre color shifts and weird smoothing/warping for a few frames in some places a result of the extrapolation process?
Damn, if only there was some way that Android would let me install my own apps from anywhere!
He wants working Optimus on laptops. He was kinda clear about that.

That is honestly the worst release name I ever heard. It sounds like a porn star nickname.

I know, Microsoft loses so much when you buy a Windows PC.
And googlemail isn't the cloud?
