If these ultrabooks had replacable batteries (read: not soldered on) and more than 2 usb ports, i would consider buying one. But with that configuration, they are simply not practical enough to distinguish themselves enough from tablets.
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few. (Matthew 7:13-14)
I never understood why people pay for e-mail from a random company instead of using free alternatives. Let alone, how these can be designed to guarantee privacy with anything more of an insurance than pure lip service. Unencrypted e-mail is like postcards anyways, so why bother.
In your average Star Wars universe, maybe. Have you actually read any hard sf? And Fantasy sports a lot less gender mainstreaming than Science Fiction.
5) Re-fuel with fuel conveniently pre-manufactured by previous robotic missions (this is the only part not obvious to me how it would be done for whatever that's worth).
Really? I have another one: shielding. Solar storms and cosmic rays can be a bitch if you're not living in a giant magnetic bottle.
This is (sort of) the plot of a sci-fi thriller I read recently: Final Theory by Mark Alpert. The idea is that Einstein hides a discovery of his which could lead to weapons even worse than the atomic bomb.
You argue that the price of oil is less in the USA (based on a nominal exchange rate) because of its high GDP per capita and then use a PPP based GDP per capita calculation to back it up?
You failed to answer the question if a drone flies over your house and records you mowing your lawn how is that any different then a manned plane, if either is trampling your rights, then what does frequency have to do with it?
What's the difference between looking up the location of your cell phone once a year and every hour?

Your post is nothing but a flame pointed at Ubuntu.
I don't understand... isn't Mint just a repackaged Ubuntu?
Wasn't that KDE's development motto? What was it again... deploy now, fix later? Ah, no: release early, release often.

An oxymoron.
Interesting. Why do you think they can ignore that "subject to your privacy settings" part?
I believe that everyone else should be chipped. Mwahahaha.
Wouldn't that application demand ONLY the soldiers to be chipped?
And how to you plan to enforce this in a time of war?
Exactly.
AFAIK RKK Energija manufactures Sojus spacecraft and its launch vehicles. Sukhoi builds only aircrafts, AFAICS.
Let me cite:

Having arbitrarily high screen resolutions at small to medium(13 to 15 inch) range is a goddamned nightmare on the eyes.
I don't understand. Why is a high DPI value a "goddamned nightmare on the eyes"?
Just imagine living in Syria. Or Saudi Arabia.

... if only my software could translate a bytestream of type video/x-ms-asf into a video.
In light of this experience, why should i believe that someone actually invented a unidirectional universal translator? Nice try.

AFAIR mentions the use of communication of electronic devices via clothes that emit and detect light at a rapid rate.

Sounds a lot like "The Physicists" from Dürrenmatt.

You're funny.

Interesting. How exactly do this students test if the exponent for the dependency on the euclidean distance r is exactly -2?
In a Triple Max Slam Prison (with a doctor).
That was when they started to use numbering based on revisions instead of arbitrary version numbers.
(...) basically I will apply updates only if they make incompatible addons a bug that MUST be fixed before "shipping".
Simple: just use iceweasel with via debian distributed addons.
