"Interestingly, it's listed as coming with XP installed, so we'd guess Asus will be using some sort of proprietary touchscreen interface -- yet the image on the site clearly shows Linux on the screen, which may be a better bet for an easy-to-use touch system"
Honest question, not flaming:
Ok, so if its a proprietary touchscreen interface, why would it be so much easier on Linux then XP
"Ipods?? My wife got one, and we both hate it. It is NOT intuitive, unless you read the manual. My wife wondered why it wasn't working and I had to show her where the hold button is. I got off the 'no playing' screen one day and couldn't figure out how to adjust the volume. iTunes sucks wind big time as an application, I prefer Windows media viewer (big shudder....). And I had to go online one day to figure out how to turn it 'off' when it locked up on me."
And get off my damn lawn you silly kids. I cant be bothered to figure out how to take a couple minutes to figure something out so i will bitch about it more. Out of everything you own, don't tell me you didn't have to read any manuals. you are coming across with old man syndrome, complain about everything, praise nothing.
"When I discuss my Razr phone with the broken display, I tell people 'I'm not getting a new phone until the new Google phone comes out. People know what I'm talking about"
Depends on who you hang out with. I have went to most of my friends to talk about this phone, and only the techies knew about it. They may have heard something about android and Google, but that's where it stops for norms.
"Hmmm...that sounds like a familiar trend with Apple. Build something trendy, then let someone else come along and build something that does the same thing that is more affordable and has more options"
Now i am no fan boy of Mac, in fact i despise some of my friends because they minute they got jobs at apples they turned fan boy, but you are being a just a little critical of ipod, without any mention of the 50 billion other ones out there.
Personally i think there should be portals from every major city to every other major city like Shattrath has. Put em in TB, Org, Shatt and UC. But to use the shatt one you have to be 60, to use Northrend one you must be 70..Easy enough

Very good point. The instead of government, possibility the utility companies themselves, with a buyback program for excess energy such as what they do now with some solar systems and wind systems. Help cleanup the environment, no worries about brownouts..In my opinion, i think the large businesses should be starting to place these on as the buildings are made..I know Walmart is starting their green initiative, and would like to see more large businesses take this on.

For all of you who dont know the HEMTT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Expanded_Mobili ty_Tactical_Truck/ are 20 ton trucks useful for providing transport capabilities for re-supply of combat vehicles and weapons systems..The HEMTT trucks exist in several configurations:
M977 and M985 cargo trucks carry all types of equipment, especially ammunition. A crane is mounted at the rear of the vehicle.
M978 tanker refuels tactical vehicles and helicopters in forward locations.
M983 tractor tows the trailer-mounted MIM-104 Patriot missile systems.
M983 with 30 KW generator and a crane mounted behind the cab towed the MGM-31 Pershing Erector Laucher in CONUS (a MAN tractor was used in West Germany).
M984 recovery vehicle uses a lift-and-tow system to recover disabled vehicles in two-to-three minutes. It mounts a recovery winch, a crane and a large storage box.
These things have great manuevering capabilities and can knock down several feet thick trees (We used to do it to make shaded parking spots when out on bivouacs.(That and you can make ranger brownies in the Exhaust pipe)
Here's one thing about that..It is not only ATT's doing..It is Apples as well..If you think Apple didn't have a hand in price control, no discounts, and crap like that you are sadly mistaken.. The 2 year contract, low connect rate and things like that are ATT's doing

Ok I am a windows gamer (World of Warcraft) who is building a second system from scratch and want an easy version of Linux for the OS. I have been tempted for a while to start looking at Linux, and that is all this computer will be for. I would like a distro where you use command prompts as little as possible. IYO what is the easiest version to adapt to from windows as far as install on configuration. I don't want to have to spend money on it, and I want something after a while i can use as a main system. Let me know what you think.
If say the earth is smacked by a rather large asteroid, as is slightly knocked off course, how will this affect the moons obrit of it? Would this cause then the moon to go flying off into space or come crashing into earth with a large enough asteroid? Wouldn't then this be a bad idea because of that particular reason?
Actually technically it is not..This coming from a AT&T employee trying to get out(dont shoot me), there are several options to you, you just never hear about them, because they do not advertise. I guarantee if you look in the phone book there are several of them. At least a page worth.Pls there is Vonage and Skype, and you dont need hoem service, get a cell phone. As far as Internet there are several, inluding Comcast, AT&T, Surewest in certain parts, any of the dial up ones, there are at least 2 full columns of them..Try looking sometimes..research does help!
