Further, I'm not sure that magnetic fields do cause trouble. If I recall correctly, varying magnetic fields do create voltage on conductors, and in this case, the magnetic field is fixed.
Sure, it would still affect rotating parts (solid state HD should be out of the effect).
However, I guess that when you fix this thing to the fridge, the magnetic field does create a conduction phenomena at the fridge door while the computer is getting closer. During those moments, the magnetic field would produce an inductive effect after all because of the small currents promoted in the fridge door.
nah!
and it was actually pretty darned stable
not really. My experience was, at that time, that Linux (Slackware) was rock solid. Nowadays, there is debate about stability comparing Linux and Windows OSes. At that time, there was no debate possible.
Not too bad for my standard Intrepid then:

You can tweak Evolution to do conversation mode, by creating a search folder with both your inboxes and sent folders, and then enabling threads. You can switch easily to classic folders and come back again to "a la gmail" search folder. It is really sweet.
AFAIK, no: the tension surface forces are only strong when the surface is in almost steady state.
I've forgotten most of these issues, but I recall solving tension surface problems, and there was a condition which meant almost steady state. The idea is that when the surface is in motion, convection and pressure terms become dominant over surface tension (the pressure gradients generated by convection are much larger than the pressure gradient due to surface tension).
If I recall correctly, surface tension forces only count to steady state (low velocity motions). Thus, this thing (the story one) only will work at moderate speeds (look at the video: there are no waves in the surface because of the low velocity motion, also means high efficiency). What you propose would generate strong motions, which would kill the tension surface forces.
My DSC-W90 seems to be running Linux as well(http://www.sony.net/Products/Linux/Download/DSC-W90.html). And from "power on" to "ready to snap" takes about a second.
Does anyone know if that applies to the proprietary Linux drivers?
Proprietary Linux drivers do CUDA, don't they? If I'm not wrong, NVidia proprietary Linux drivers do not lack of any features.... why should they lack now?
This kid is interested in being with her dad. It is hard to keep up being with your childhood because we adults are very busy, and children always will be willing to playing with you.
So... my point is, go buy an eee for yourself if your really wish it, and share your time with your son/daughter. Since one of the things you can do is playing a bit with the machine, go on.
Perhaps the real question is "How can I convince my wife to let me buy yet another gadget?"
Neanderthals smarter approach to Evolution:
1) Extinct. Seems a bad move but:
2) Wait for Sapiens clone them up."If they extincted, they cannot be smart"
3) Rule the world! Muhahhahha
Because their Reynolds number is very big and their boundary layers are already turbulent.
The story is so oversimplified that raising questions from it is just pointless.
The facts are as follow:
1. Roughness tends to increase drag because makes boundary layers turbulent.
2. Turbulent boundary layers do stand higher adverse pressure gradients prior to separation
3. Separation increases drag much more than turbulent boundary layers.
Then, there are some applications where you would have a separated flow, and promoting turbulence through roughness would reduce the drag. This is not the case of aviation. It is not the case for sure of sharks when they are not moving their tails. It may be the case of sharks when they are moving their tails to obtain propulsion.
well, not necessary, since submarines Reynolds number (rho*V*L/mu) tends to be much bigger, and it may happen that the boundary layer is already turbulent.
I'm confused with the story itself, it is poorly written.
From my knowledge on fluid mechanics, turbulent boundary layers increase drag unless separation is avoided (turbulent boundary layers stand higher adverse pressure gradients prior to separation). I guess that what happens with sharks is that they can twist their tails with higher energy providing higher propulsion because the boundary layer withstands such pressure gradients generated thanks to the triggering to turbulent (which should not be the case because their low Reynolds number).
Of course, higher roughness would induce higher drag, so the evolution has found a right equilibrium for them.

"US Letter" aspect ratio (1.28) is more distant from golden ratio (1.61) than "A4"'s (1.41).

So what, you tell your children to go walking anywhere, with any one, at any time during the night?
Please, try again, but now taking some LSD.
If you own the code, probably is a better choice to use Linux and forget about this madness.

Heh, I may be synchronized then.
Nice, that is not the only model which is running Linux. Actually, my own camera (eighteen months old) seems to be running Linux as well:

Well, perhaps it depends on your distro. Some shells could have it built-in.
