It's so sad that everybody has to squeeze everything from microwave ovens to wireless into 1% of the useful airspace. With basically every computer on Earth having WiFi, the government should stop kissing the corporations asses and allocate a slice of free spectrum where CSMA/CA (collision avoidance) is mandatory. Problem solved.
Seriously! Manga/anime is typically thoughtful science fiction or fantasy. Wherever you have that, you have nerds fawning over it. It's no different from the nerd following of, say, Whedon or Gaiman or Tolkien. It just happens to be from another country.
Agreed with Bogtha. If thieves steel a wheel off your car, and you continue to drive it and hit someone, you are liable!! You are responsible for your equipment in a public place, be it road or tube.

To each his own; I was really just looking for an excuse to use the word 'whippersnapper'. (And as a coincidence I do have a uC in my car, it fools my crappy tape deck into thinking my iPod is the factory trunk-mount cd changer.)
Sounds like you sorta just jumped off into your own premeditated rant.
GP's point was that Linux IS TRYING to be a desktop environment, and the increase shows progress. And the main point was refuting the "Linux is supposed to be hard" troll.
Verizon 3G works great at my parents house where there's no cable. You can use an "average" amount of youtube without going over the cap. I wouldn't recommend much more though.
Oh, and BE WARY OF CRICKET! I've read horror stories. Of course YMMV.
It's so absurd it makes more sense as a comedy sketch than an actual business practice.
Hypothetical Will Ferrel: At TWC, we value our customers tremendously. Now, I hate to nitpick, but is there any way you could pay us money, but then, we don't give you anything in return?
It comes down to money. Adjusted for inflation the 60's NASA budget was double or triple today's. And Gemini/Apollo was basically all they were working on. Of course, it was all just a fraction of the cost of an Iraq war or a bailout.
They are not natural though, they were formed from contracts that were drafted with precision greed and much forward contemplation of their potential future value.
Actually it is a natural monopoly. A natural monopoly has to do with the economics of the situation, not with who or how the contracts are given. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_monopoly
But is Youtube actually failing? Or is $2m a day money well spent when it comes to keeping the word 'Google' on the tip of everybody's tongue?/thinkingoutloud
Yes, that will be disappointing. But that's an open vs closed source problem, not specifically a Wine problem. Google Earth is Qt but you're still gonna be waiting for Google to release an ARM binary. And yes, as a more practical issue, I would expect the sort of things that one tends to use wine for just coincidentally happen to not fit the netbook paradigm. I for one use it for LTSpice and DVDFab and that's about it. Don't get me wrong, as a diehard Linux fanboy I do much prefer native solutions.
That brings up an interesting sidenote though: I wonder how hard it would be to port winelib to ARM? It is all userspace after all.
Qt is a "wrapper and library"! I don't see any syscalls in my Amarok source. You speak of the "windows environment" like it has some divine spark of life that can only be truly achieved by Microsoft, and merely approximated by anybody else. In fact, it's just a library that wraps NT.

It's a vicious cycle really. You see, building a sexbot requires multithreaded programming..
Tinfoil hat theory: they could throttle Skype packets just enough to "make it look like an accident" that it doesn't work.

Better than a desktop in many ways. Smaller, less power, built-in UPS.
I have a beast of a Thinkpad. I lug it around occasionally but it's more or less my "desktop".
And in return I'm going to port MPLAB to the 555 ;)

As a young whippersnapper I imagine the pain of reading the 555 datasheet whenever I flash a timer to an 8-pin microcontroller ;)

What??? I see absolutely no problem with giving a kid admin access to an OFFLINE machine. Worst case scenario, you have to reimage it.
When I was four I had admin access on my TRS-80. The worst thing that happened was I ended up an engineer.

1. Breed a zillion bees.
2. Expose bees to fungus.
3. ???
4. Profit!
For YEARS, TWC's commercials bragged "unlike dialup it's always on!"

I tried KDE4 and found it very slick, and absolutely useless. I hear it's slowly becoming usable though.

Wait, how do you fit a shark into an eye socket?
