“I cried all night.

The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.” -- Jesse Jackson, Jr.

While that's true for OSX and the iPad, it isn't true for Linux.
In Linux, the difference between a desktop and a tablet is an interface layer, in this case adding multitouch capabilities. The applications and kernel are the same.
My daughters run Kubuntu Netbook Remix. When I forgot my power supply at work, I borrowed one of their systems, installed Eclipse and got to work. The difference between NBR and regular Ubuntu is......configuration, nothing more.
Hardware differences aside (Core2 vs dual-Atom / 4GB vs 1GB / 320GB vs 1TB) There is nothing fundamentally different between my daughters laptops and mine. If I can run it, they can run it (slower).
Chances are that an inflatable tank or radar station is only going to get hit by an air strike or artillery fire.
Filling them with explosive gasses will only cost more and make the impact of the attack more devastating to the earth that the inflatable sits on. Although, if there are any personnel nearby the inflatable, they might become even more dead.
Maybe your work is so super secret that you don't want it connected to a public resource. Perhaps bandwidth is so scarce at your location that a local server makes more sense from a performance standpoint. Or bandwidth is so expensive at your location that a local server makes more sense from a financial standpoint. Alternatively, you may be enamored with blinkenlights.
As a PC repairman I can tell you from win2K on through XP SP3 Windows has had decent security, after windows Vista it has damned good security.
This guy provides a valuable opinion because PC repairmen are experts on security.
Sadly there is no "keep user from doing dumb shit" button in ANY OS...
Sure there is.
PXE boot to a network stored image with user documents stored on mapped drives. Or, there is Faronics DeepFreeze that locks the hard drive to a state and discards all changes after reboot. Or, you could just restrict users from installing apps. Or, my personal favorite, you could run Linux as an unprivileged user.
New tech can and does enhance the modern classroom. The problem is implementing successfully. Designing lessons that utilize the tech is difficult sometimes.
Using the whiteboard as an example, the new tech is called a smart board. http://smarttech.com/
With laptops, the monitor aspect ratio isn't an option. As you pointed out, you lost no vertical resolution on your lcd screen, and gained 320 pixels on the horizontal.
Laptop users are in the other boat.
Laptops don't get bigger screens, they lose vertical resolution while retaining horizontal resolution. IMHO, the only purpose for this is to claim "Wide Screen" as a feature, when it should be called "Short Screen"
When on the go, I have no choice but to use the screen provided to me. At work and at home, I extend to an external 4:3 LCD and use it primarily.
I suppose I should be happy they aren't selling laptops with Polyvision(4:1), we'd really lose vertical pixels if that were the case. I can see it now....I'm reduced to carting around a desktop system in a series of pelican cases because laptop 1280x320 screens become the norm.
I wonder if it's possible to have 2 encrypted filesystems using different passwords. You keep one filesystem for the bad stuff you do, and the other for the search warrant. They see what you want them to see and that's based on the password you provide.
Sort of like carrying 2 knives - The one they find and the one you keep.
Not in a while, but I did watch "The Glades" earlier this week and noticed that every computer monitor (including laptop lids) has a huge Windows logo. It's a shame that they don't have Linux logos, as they've been caught using a GNOME desktop.
They're not practical for long term use in humans, but this boy is slowly turning into a meatloaf - which will put far less strain on the artificial heart.

XP supports IPv6 as well.

show me some "multi-touching"

Made by HTC, not Motorola
He said "brand from" not "made by".
Motorola markets the Droid brand under 4 names - Droid, Droid Pro, Droid 2 and Droid X
HTC markets 2 phones with the name Droid - the Droid Incredible and the Droid Eris

You should investigate SAP for ERP if it's a viable alternative for your company. They offer a Linux version.
Are you unable to run MS Office in a Linux environment? Pity, your links say you're a technologist.
First, there is OpenOffice (now LibreOffice) which can open and save most MS formats. There are many open source analogues to closed source software.
Second, I'd like to introduce you to VMWare and the Unity feature.
Just because you don't know how to do it, doesn't mean it can't be done.
This was so super secret, they blogged about it!

That causes me to have an interesting thought.

TFA says they're investigating sexual exploitation of children.
I'm sure 4 months is a drop in the bucket compared to what he'll get if they access his system and find the child porn they're looking for.

Don't you mean, stumble?
Haven't you heard the Microsoft Car jokes?

Ah yes, but from TFA:

They're not practical for long term use in humans, but this boy is slowly turning into a meatloaf - which will put far less strain on the artificial heart.
Uh, 4 digit years please! I can't tell which century you're talking about.
Great, I'll keep reading their articles.
When I see "Nuclear War", "Stock Market Crash" or "Second Coming of Jesus" I'll have at least a few days to prepare.
Just as soon as there is something similar in other countries...
expect governments to impose censorship measures against websites that host these types of services.
