That's dumb. Maybe they look similar because they're both depicting, uh, let's see, the SAME fruit?

It can help in-class teaching, but kids belong in classrooms, not at home. It's just not as easy to learn at home, especially when your teacher is on the TV.
Desktops are for games. They are supposed to be big so you can put nice expensive stuff in them that makes them go fast.
Laptops should be the same size as my ThinkPad X41. Small, good for mobile tasks and the occassional round of cs.
Putting a RAID array in a laptop seems illogical...just get a tiny laptop for mobile work and a good desktop if you want hardcore reliability and performance. Laptops are too easily dropped, spilled on, or stolen for them to be a truly reliable system, regardless of how they store data.
Now, of course, if laptop size == desktop size, (like about half the "desktop replacement" laptops available) then yes, that would aid in theft prevention.
I don't know why this is Slashdot-worthy. Get in your car with a Win 98 laptop and a crappy wireless card and drive through a commercial area. Free internet, anyone?
You'd think by now it'd have gotten better...it hasn't. From what I've seen, any type of wireless encryption is becoming harder to find in the mass of networks here in LA.

I pay more money for cars that offer sudden acceleration. Unintended acceleration, on the other hand...

Step 3: Enjoy your ResNet again.
Anyone who's friend with a nerd is not going to have to deal with this problem. And I certainly woudln't.
But your computer, my computer, and the computer's of everyone who reads this article, collectively, could break it in a matter of hours.

How else am I supposed to power my 60 C degree P4?
Screw it all. I still want a Subaru Impreza WRX STi powered by gasoline making 20 mpg on a good day. Cars aren't tools.
