In other news, ancient people from Bedrock had cars, which they powered with their feet. Scientists have located stone cylinders next to sticks, which can only have one possible meaning. No evidence as to whether or not this is really the case.
NOTE: This is a joke. Plain and simple. The article is actually pretty cool.
Ummm.... no... I think you're mistaken. Real Mac users simply have enough money to afford the Mac tax and still get a decent computer. These are the people who think that Firefox is scary, and that Safari is a cool Mac app (it isn't).
These "switchers" simply emulate a Mac on their Linux box.
I don't think it could be adapted- the hardware is (99% chance) completely different. First, you'd have to figure out if the Active Protection System can even be "seen" by $OS. If it can, you probably have to figure out how to interface with it. THEN, you get to play the "let's write a low-level driver game."
What happens if say.... the computer isn't turned on? It's a neat idea, but it has a severe shortcoming. People don't steal computers (usually) while they're still on. They make off with them when you leave the bag unattended.
The same people who rolled this out, also have an AJAX video editor. The problem with editing video on a web interface is that all rendering must be done on the server-side. The problem with server-side rendering of video at or near realtime is the necessity of a renderfarm. The problem wth a renderfarm is that it costs money. The problem with costing money is that there's no way they can make any, except by charging ads, which won't be near enough. They could embed ads into the videos, but I still don't think that'd cut it.
I'd only pay to have my vids rendered online like this if it was dirt cheap ($1 or $2/month), which a renderfarm isn't.
JavaScript (ECMA) is slow and resource intensive. Even more so when communicating with a server. A portable document editor may be fine and dandy, but I'd really rather carry around a copy of Portable OpenOffice on one of my USB drives. While a real app may be large, at least it's full-featured and (mostly) responsive/stable. I don't know about you, but it would suck to have your net connection give out and lose everything since the last update.
How can you be a non-evolutionary biologist? To be a biologist, one must understand say... DNA, which then has the whole "gene thing." Organisms with DNA that codes for beneficial traits live on, and the rest die. Evolution.
You clearly don't know how the company is organized. The shares of stock held by founders and directors get 10 votes each while the normal shares only get 1. A "supershare" becomes a normal share if it's sold. Google is, effectively, a private company.
Google is a private company with a private database. They have no obligation to rank any site equally, or even at all! In fact, Google could arbitrarily decide that some company was "bad" and simply remove them from their database. Kinderstart has no case, not even with their fractured English. Google is a corporation, not a public service, even though they seem like it on occasion.
You could probably pull that off by adding a CO2 canister inside. When the catastrophic impact occurs, pressure over the suit increases via the CO2, which causes the suit to become hard everywhere.

I didn't post incoherently. It's two jokes in one, if you read carefully.
This is what happens when you have your spouse do dental work on you.
You need to check your facts. I was quite useful in small doses, and it was fatal in large doses. We must assume that it was "LidoClub."
Ooops... looks like I beat you, Mr. Troll

The fact that a graphic designer switched to a more asthetically pleasing browser doesn't convince me of its technical merit.
Sorry. Please try again.

I smell burning Karma...
Take that Crea^H^H^H^H^idiots!
the screenshots were convincing. The catch is that they mentioned BurgerCraft, which instantly gave it away.
I think that MAKE is annoying, but so is BUY. How about ANT?
A true iPod killer! If the sales don't work, I'm sure it could simply crush them.
Can these drives be used to discretely trasfer pony/kitten porn?
Yea. Your share is worth 1 vote. A founder's or board member's share is worth 10.
