Actually, here in the USA you don't even have to give your SSN to get a job. Most places THINK you do, but you don't. If you really want the court precedent, then I can either grab my History/Political buff friend, or you and google can spend a romantic evening together.
1) Have you even LOOKED at tablet PC's in last few years?
2) You can access them anywhere that has a PC with a USB slot. Which is pretty much any office environment.
3) if you think collaboration on the PC is difficult, then you've never given it a fair shot.

And PC's have even greater advantages, and it's stupid to ignore them simply because you get a hard-on looking at trees.
Now STFU and go back under your bridge troll.:p
I'd say out of a given day my computer is sitting doing absolutely nothing productive around 16 hours or so. I can't turn it on and off because I often login remotely, but during the 2/3rds of the day it's not doing anything it would be nice to have it go into a sleep state of sorts, e.g. clock the cpu down to absurdly low states, heck even halt the GPU, lower the DRAM refresh, etc...
Here's two suggestions...
1. Assuming you're on windows, you could have the computer 'hibernate' after x minutes.
2. Stop wasting your processing cycles by joining a distributed processing team and helping to do something like cure diseases. I'd hope you could find that a worthy enough use for your power consumption.
5. Video games [hint: what do you think runs the PSP]
Admittedly I haven't looked at much of anything concerning those procs, HOWEVER am I really supposed to believe that point you made? Those procs may run the PSP, but it is a DEDICATED machine. A desktop comp has a LOT more to run than JUST the game.
I have no intention of going to theaters because of the 10% inconsiderate fucks in the world.
TEN PERCENT?! What theatre do you go to, because I'd LOVE to only have to put up with 10% of the crowd being asses!
Why is it 'news' when a regulary updated webcomic updates on their regular schedule with a holiday comic during the holidays? Are we THAT desperate for news?
>>A document saved to the wrong folder ends up erased on reboot - that's no good for end users.
To that I say "well, sorry 'bout that. Guess you'll save it to the correct place next time, huh?" Now go read some BOFH before you turn into a complete pussy.:p

Real programmers don't document: if it was hard to write it should be hard to understand!
This is AWESOME! Maybe next they can release some sort of cheaper-priced DVD that expires after 24 hours. That would be super-keen.

Good job screwing up on the most well known cheat code... I think the code you're looking for is: up up down down left right left right B A

It probably has something to do with desktops costing a lot less... But why should we pay attention to 4 vs power, eh? I mean, look at macs!
