Normally that might apply but this is a man who is going out of his way to embarrass powerful people and knows it. Politicians are calling for his assasination in some parts of the West. He had by this point already published the War Logs and who knows what else that already had the American government angry and was moving around frequently in countries with strong free speech laws and strong courts.
Sure, not a traditional thing for an innocent man, but fairly traditional for someone who's pissed off powerful people in government. He's not necessarily innocent but one can't infer it by the usual means with all the political clout bearing down on him and his lifestyle of a hunted man.
With relation to the i.MX515 based net/smartbooks there's one available from Genesi http://www.genesi-usa.com/products and it's according to the company blog it's up for a price drop next week along with the smarttop. They're a developer friendly bunch who've been a big help to the debian ARM project and many other devs.
They're working on an i.MX535 based netbook with a Pixel Qi screen but it's unclear how long we'll have to wait for that product.
Many GPUs do in fact support double precision, its not IEEE standard double precision floating point yet, but that's going to be a feature of the next generation or two. My source is ATi, anything marked with a superscript of '1' does not support double precision maths, everything else does. ATi StreamSDK requirements
The Open-RD has the same chip as the sheevaplug but its on a normal-ish motherboard and allows for onboard SATA, eSata, 7usb, and VGA. The Open-RD is essentially the sheevaplug on steroids.

As it stated in the article I linked, ARM signed the deal with GlobalFoundries (GF) to allow GF to access ARM's architecture and process patents so that other companies could use GF to make ARM SoCs. AMD is trying to move to a smaller process as we speak, so in 2011 when the A5 is slated to come out ARM will be able to use a 40nm process when AMD has long since stopped using that equipment (as stated in the second graphic in the original article).
So this is why ARM and Global Foundries recently made a deal. ARM's Cortex-A5 is going to be built on a 40nm and Global Foundries already has that equipment, with AMD working hard to advance to the next node that frees up a lot of manufacturing power for ARM to use. Officially it was for Cortex-A9 at 28nm but what's to stop other stuff from being done in the shadow of the deal?
It seems to me that research on MMOs usually happens the other way around. MMO economies and epidemics are noticed for their emulation of real world behaviors before the interest in MMO use as simulations comes around.
I would suggest that the poster look into professional monitors. I've noticed that consumer laptops also have low resolution displays do not compare to my old thinkpad which happens to be corporate grade. Back when I was looking for a high resolution CRT I went with a professional 19" that hit 2048x1536.
In summary: look for a distributor for professional monitors instead of in the consumer stores. Professional monitors have higher resolutions in my experience, at a premium of course.
The usability would depend on the file format i guess, with most markup languages i think its possible (SGML, XML, HTML, etc) if the author of the file decides to or someone takes the time to. PDFs are capable of linked indexes and also have a bookmarks feature but apparently you cant edit or insert new ones, you're suck with the author's bookmarks, however they're usually pretty good. Formats other than those i have no idea, you'd have to figure it out for yourself.
As for the iLiad its a reader device, based on linux and xpdf and uses the e-ink ePaper technology. Of the 2nd gen e-ink readers it has the largest screen but is still too small for most technical PDFs, like i mentioned in my previous post we need to lobby/petition them to make one better suited for us as a technical audience as it makes it easier for us to tote around said technical books but also easier for the publishers as the books become more accessible to the masses via the internet.
Personally im going to purchase one of the iLiads to help stimulate the market and due to the fact that it also has a drawing feature (though its likely to rape the battery) and once again has the largest screen.
Another publisher of technical books, Apress, sells its books as ebooks for a discount of at least half the price of the print book off its site. Now we just need a decently sized ebook reader, something with an A4 screen and technical book sales would skyrocket. Not only are the returns and such taken care of, but also the distrobution costs and the problem of toting around hordes of hefty technical books. If enough of us petition companies such as iRex (the makers of the iLiad) they might make one and in the process make our books much more portable rather than shelf sitters and monitor stands (Sams Samba Unleashed is excellent for this)
According to that definition The Outer Limits is a prime example of a SciFi. Its always been about the technology and how we'd interact with it. They also did away with continuing storylines or characters. The lessons they describe at the end are always interesting.

Check out the Pocketbook 903 Pro. It's basically the 902 but with a touchscreen. It's not available until Oct 2011 but it seems worth waiting for.

3G Cellular internet would be great in the boonies if only it weren't the last place that cellular companies roll it out.

If the engineers have been let go from 'Semiconductor Equipment Manufactures' perhaps TSMC should hire one or two at a lower salary.
Out curiosity, does this ruling include file caches in RAM as well as the running executable?

It seems that the IPv6 transition is going well; we've migrated peering disputes to the lovely next generation protocol.
Brainfuck actually.

Should we be joining MMOs like these to help science? I, for one, would join to help the research but that would probably taint the results.
