a) a power switch b) a short wake-up time not to light or heavy, with a centred mass
Some mice go to sleep in as little as ten seconds and then take a second or two to wake up and start transmitting again, almost unusable because mouse use is intermittent.
This free and open source 3D train simulator was born in April 2008 as a replacement to the popular freeware programs BVE Trainsim 2 & 4. The lack of compatibility between BVE Trainsim 2 & 4 routes and the developmental uncertainty of the 5th version (originally named Boso View Express by the sole Japanese developer Mackoy) lead one resolute user to start openBVE.
The sole developer Michelle has done amazing work; openBVE beats out commercially available simulators in its ability to simulate starting resistance, inertia, curve resistance, gravity, toppling, coupling, air resistance, pressure, temperature and density, altitude, friction and wheel slip.

Because really in 2 months very few of those that voted Cobert are going to care one way or the other about it, they'll have already moved on to Colbert's next PR stunt. There's no reason for the rest of the planet to be stuck with the stunt's legacy. The people that voted Serenity do care and have an interest in its future.
I'm surprised at how many here think that the ISS isn't just a little bit more deserving of esteem. The outcome has a little bit of Idiocracy about it.

The free and open source 3d train simulator, openBVE, has just turned the big v1.0.

Michelle has made great progress with her new code, and whilst the current installation procedure and basic 'getting started' instructions are rough, her communication on the openBVE forum and her great developer documentation all indicate openBVE will continue to get better.

...It's a significant buzzkill when you get up-close to in-game buildings, trees etc and they are way off scale, because of lazy developers/artists. Rome:TW suffered a bit from this, but the worst culprits are always flight sims.
The trailer and the NAME have been out for a few months, I've seen some screenshots before but I can't find them now, but the best I could find was this MERRY CHRISTMAS.
...lit e-reader, and eventually an ambiently lit 'e-painting' that looks just like the real thing but I can change it as often as I want.
What the hell is up with this "http://slashdot.org/index2.pl", It is hanging my whole system for 3 seconds just for some lame heavily scripted web2.0-ness?! I want the old slashdot back! Help me tag it (which now suck though) 'slashdotsucks'!
...Reconvert the CO2 into a stable form using energy from a clean power source. This of course would only be ideal once CO2 production was less than the reconversion capacity, thereby being able to actually rewind the CO2 level as opposed to just slowing it.
The best power source for the task would be fission and ultimately fusion IMO.
Honestly I believe that it will come down to this approach whether we like it or not once global warming starts ratcheting up. Only then will governments and individuals care about there failure to pay respect to how something as intangible as climate could possibly cause future pain and suffering. That will be the sobering realisation that induces the investment into a massive rollout of nuclear power that will be imperative just to return the benefits of having global temperature lowered by one degree.
...The RoHS demonization of lead had the best of intentions and all, but the results are in, and some things just kinda crap out (including, big, expensive and very dangerous things) without it. Thanks EU, but we're gonna have to wrap this avoid-lead-at-all-cost show up right about now...

A good website about thorium fluoride reactors: Energy from Thorium
Another good (informative and technical) general nuclear website: Nuclear Energy Institute (a.k.a. lobby) Nuclear Notes
probably an optimistic start year anyway.

That's what I first thought of too.

...like this. It's cheap, it has more than just novelty value.
If someone is interested enough they CAN google it. If not they'll probably just hit up the servers for some screenshots and leave.
Here are some videos of openBVE v1.0, and on Wikipedia.
openBVE has just reached v1.0.

Visual updates and changes to inconsequential applications does not a solid basis for a new OS make.
I would like to see at least one --just ONE-- new piece of technology. WinFS much Microsoft!!!
I'm reminded of this comment from somewhere: 'Google isn't interested in Microsoft's 90s era technologies'.
