You can make your own passive IR goggles using "congo blue" and "primary red" lighting gels. They work just the same as the ones in TFA but they require about 1kw/m^2 of external incandecent lighting. Not really hospital friendly but they are fantastic for wandering around the neighbourhood in the summer.
You can pour a beer through a 1200$ Thinkpad or drop it on a concrete floor without killing it, I know, mine stood up to both. With the quality of Dell hardware I would be afraid to use harsh language around it. Unless their build quality has jumped recently I wouldn't want to spend that much on a "disposable" product.
...but more expensive, with less features and running Ubuntu.
Its another step in the right direction but it is still a long way from bumping MS and Apple from the "full featured" consumer computer market. As much as I hate marketing, it needs to be marketed. Linux doesn't sell itself to the average person, it has to be made to look like the better alternative before any one other than techies will buy it.
It does everything else with 100% cost savings. I'm not paying Adobe near a thousand bucks for 2 features (CMYK and 16bit depth), that I can get by using a few other open source odds and ends in conjunction with Gimp.
If the movie was a translation it was done by the same guys who do spam and 409 scams. The general idea was conveyed but all the details were mangled beyond any recognition. The entire movie played out like it was a preview for a much longer deeper production.
Not entirely true, hydrogen gas is pairs of hydrogens forming a molecule whereas helium is single atoms floating around making it much smaller and much harder to contain.
Don't take buying advice from this guy. Microsoft is not the Toyota of hardware, they have always made good PC hardware, not to mention that Toyota isn't really a low quality brand either, I'd bet you get more miles out of a Toyota sports car than a Ferrari. The pro costs 1000$ because its more useful than the ultrabooks in its spec. class and its more portable. A full desktop OS, keyboard, touchpad, waycom pen and touchscreen than you can carry around easily, there aren't many ultra books that offer that, if any.
If you are working with a modern laptop that's not an option.
Using FM above what most people can hear you can blast a squarewave at full power that could easily fill the room, if the door is open you could probably receive it in adjoining rooms. Come to think of it you could probably transmit in parallel on a number of different frequencies as long as they arent multiples of each other. It wouldn't be gigabit but it would be plenty fast for sending command and control information.
That's the best definition, if you don't gauge its usefulness by how much you get done then why not do it all on paper? If you want to do any creating (that includes audio, video, image, office) a windows 8 device will get the job done a hell of a lot faster and easier than android and iOs. Android doesn't do much more on the same number of electrons, it just uses them slower.
What competitors? I switched from bell to teksavvy and 9 out of 10 people I know had no idea it even existed. Even after switching I'm still at the mercy of cogeco because they own the lines around here. When there is a service interruption cogeco, rogers and bell make sure that teksavvy customers are the last to get their service back.
...and android is tailored for power savings on mobile devices.
I have a surface pro, it doesn't have fantastic battery life but I can get a hell of a lot more number crunching done on a charge than on an android tablet. Mind you I bought it for use as a mobile photo/video editing tool, if all you need is a web browser then you don't need a full featured OS.
They have a very specialized and very simple set of hardware and software that only has to do a few jobs, flying, eating etc. so they can devote all their processing time to doing those few things and they do them one at a time. Bigger, more complex animals have a lot of extra stuff taking up their brain time, social behaviour, non-automatic body maintenance or hunting, all of which are far more complex tasks then a fly while it flies. If you sit and watch one you will notice that flies act like really poorly programmed robots, they have vague objectives and use the same set of reactionary rules over and over to achieve them. Flies have no foresight, they are always reacting and thus MUST perceive things fast to survive as a species.
Can you give any examples of music that is permanently lost to an unpopular format or bad DRM? It may happen in the future that some music is abandoned due to software but music is already being lost due to lack of playback hardware. He can stomp his feet and say that tape is best but there will be a time when no one makes tape players any more, it is pretty unlikely that there will be a point in the future when we stop using computers to play back media.
China's populations is levelling off but its standard of living is going up. Not every one lives in a house with electricity and plumbing but most people would like to. When larger fractions of their population start living the western life you can bet they wont want to farm their own foods. We are no where near feeding the world adequately, if this can be done cheap and efficiently than its a big step in the right direction.
Can you think of any people who have killed once a decade, been in the news for it and not been punished? They probably stopped doing shows for a while but that's not really a negative change for the whale, just a change that it would notice.
You think people are being paid to disagree with you on the internet? Like Microsoft has a/. trolling team? It is to laugh!
Bought my Surface pro at full price and it was worth it. It completely replaced my Lenovo W500 and then some. Its smaller, quieter, has a touch screen and waycom pen. Its the perfect laptop as long as you don't have to type a novel and for regular forum posting the touch keyboard is fine.
Pretty much every daily task we do is mimicked, no one is born knowing how to use a shovel or how to put an object in a box until they are shown. In most cases for humans we only have to be shown once and then we can do it the rest of our lives but we have a little more thinking muscle to work with than a dog. Its not too surprising that they have the capacity to copy actions, what is really cool is that they have to map the action from a two legged human action to a four legged dog action. I'll bet the dogs that can do this can be taught a number of unusual tricks. Maybe even a dog version of sign language, dogs already communicate with body language to people (throw the ball, feed me) why not teach them how to express very specific wants or needs with a set of actions. Once they get the hang of that you could teach them to convey information that is not dog centric, the dog soldiers of Starship Troopers aren't that much of a stretch anymore.
Unless you are shipping your water off planet, none of our water gets "used up." Water that comes out of a power plant doesn't go directly into the city water, it has to be collected and treated first. That collection and treatment costs money, time and energy.

Look for Bill Beaty's IR goggles

The ATF cheaped out on their 3D printer, in other news reports have come in about corner cutting in other branches of the government. More at 11.

Having a moderately successful youtube channel I volunteer to do the experiment and publish the results as long as it is funded by someone else.
That's true but the molecule H2 (two hydrogens) is much wider then a single atom of helium.

Wait, you're fighting FOR a lower resolution? This is why we cant have nice things!

I use the pen when I need to edit or highlight text, my fingers can never get the cursor to land in the right spot.

More so now that it knows that it's situation does not change when it attacks people. They aren't stupid animals and this one figured it out quick.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
