Assuming CIWS works, you also have the massive battle-group screen and THEIR anti-missile forces to contend with. And while it is easy to ruin a carrier's launch capability, facing off against a CBG, which possibly has a SSGN with 154 TLAMs is usually going to be a suicidal move.
Plenty of people did. But they were saddled with the Windows metaphor, and that only works if you have styluses. Jobs big contribution besides multi-touch was getting rid of the pen.
I thought I'd hate a tablet without a pen. I absolutely LOVE my Xoom! It's my primary consumption device. Dockable keyboard, it might become my primary creative device.
Apple was not there at the beginning. Apple came in fairly late to the game (Palm, Windows and RIM were the early adopters). What they came to market with was an experience that "just worked" because they stopped trying to make a phone into a computer.
They may not make the BEST hardware, but they certainly changed the game.
I had two major problems with Linux on the Desktop, or more appropriately, Linux on My Laptop:
1. Thermal/Power control. Ubuntu shipped with crap settings by default - I could have changed them, but never did, so some of the fault was mine. 2. X/Windows - was flaky after a few hibernation trips.
That said, Windows has trouble with my Wifi hibernating on my new laptop...
Free software says nothing about money. It's all about Freedom - freedom to do whatever you wish with YOUR data.
The GPL makes no mention whatsoever about programmers making a better living for themselves except as relates to the above point. Free software is as much about the users (if not more so) than about the developers.
IF that's the best treatise they can put together to explain their position, they're fucking quacks.
Start off with persecution of your position, yadda yadda. Sounds like the free-energy conspiracy theorists.
Now this is just an adhoc opinion I've built based around the presentation (or non-presentation of their position) - and it will probably bias me against the EU theory...
You're missing the point. You're doing more work, for less benefit. What are the benefits of changing a 30 year old function that works fucking awesomely? Especially when combined with logrotate.
Since it is the public who buys and consumes nuclear power, it is entirely appropriate for the public to pay for it's safe operation and storage.
Then again, if we had a truly functioning nuclear economy, we'd have a hell of a lot less high-level fuel waste, because we could reprocess the reactor fuel.

Excellent, when you can get another wing from the motherland in 24 hours via a network of in-flight-refueling aircraft.
Too bad you can't have some time-release bentonite. I'm sure that would work wonders for ruining someone's day.
20,000 tons of heavy glassified nuclear waste buried underground and hard to move around vs widespread pollution.
What is Yucca Mtn, Alec?!

lusers do not think like us.
Don't bother

The GPL is only restrictive for the developer.
The GPL wasn't written for the developer - it was written for the USER, and as such, protects them just fine.

Gaming was the #1 reason I went back to Windows.
And if they couldn't, people would be a lot more circumspect when they were out walking.

Sonic Electronics is beholden to Sony Entertainment, and I don't get why. The electronics division makes more money, doesn't it?
What about the Bullet Cluster needs explaining?

Or do straight from your TV.
TVs have evolved with the times, friend.
All of those stations are on a fast-track road to Reality TV Hell. :( Sadly.
I was just bitching about SyFy turning into the horror movie channel. WTF?!
Yes, it's called a TiVo. They've been doing this since the beginning of the 3rd Millennium.
When building stuff like this you always put the "big" storage separately. Compute units do computing, and cache to SSD then store to the big pappy.
Now TRANSMIT a phased signal that will still be detectable at 120 AU from earth with that setup.

Um, the WRT54G has enough oomph to run Wireless-G. If you want gigabit performance, get a dedicated gigabit switch.
Links?
Planet earth tosses more radiation than we ever will.
Where do you think coal comes from? The magical coal tree? No, they level fucking mountains to get it.
Coal, natural gas and uranium make up 90+% of all energy production on this planet for a reason.
Your magical wind/solar/tide fairies aren't going to replace 5.6 TW of generating power - EVER.
