There are the right answer in this episode - burn the place and get insurance money!
Seriously, DVD rental? Consider buying my collection of music stored on compact cassettes, you could add innovative music rental service to your store, I'm sure there got to be a HUGE demand for rare punk rock albums!
Whats the point encrypting private key, it would add hassle of typing password every time without real security benefit - if attacker got access to your account installing keylogger is not a problem, right? Just use common sense - do not store unencrypted backups of your keys.
It have nothing to do with progress, RTF, PDF and DOC are mostly used to display formatted text with images or other media, why would anybody need any scripts there? We could easily abolish all those formats in favor of HTML + CSS + media files in folder or compressed container, as an added bonus we would not need google quick view than.
What were you smoking? Sertanly what you describe here is not MJ, more like H, and yes, people addicted to this will rarely bother. MJ, on the contrary, do not let you to escape your problems if you have any, just allow you to see your situation from another point of view and think of a new possible ways to make your life as you want it to be.
Hi-res panels were available from the beginning, like those http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_T220/T221_LCD_monitors , or QXGA 15'' thinkpad panels. But they were not mainstream and therefore expensive, and AFAIK there we no proper controls to change DPI in windows. Now hopefully it's going to change, thanks to Apple's innovative marketing department - hi-res panels are going mainstream!
Make most of loaptop bags useless?? OMFG thats a real reason they make only widescreen laptops now - we GOT to maintain compatibility with laptop bags!
Keyboard is not a problem with 4:3 laptops 14'' and up, IBM proved it with their old Thinkpads.
I did the same and more, it's rare chance to DIY laptop. Also upgraded to T61 motherboard - mobo from 14'' non-widescreen T61 fits perfectly and gives an ability to put Pehryn C2D CPU, up 8 GB RAM and SATA II works with modified bios. Add ssd, extra hdd in ultabay if needed - and it's useful laptop! I can not say it's perfect tho - it's heavy, and a small touchpad as a legacy from 2006, and 2 hours of life on standard battery. But - a perfect keyboard, really good screen, and it's build like a tank to stand to my abuse. I used to buy new laptop 3 times a year - little spill on a keyboard - fried mobo, dropped from sofa - broken screen, and so on. Now I hope this one will last, I already tested spill-resistant keyboard:)
I dream to see open standard for laptops - say standard for 15'' laptop, so any part made by that standard by any company would fit. Like you want to upgrade? Change motherboard. Want another keyboard? Change keyboard. For large laptops it would be not much harder than with desktops. But mainstream is going in opposite direction - cheap non-serviceble laptops that is by itself a replaceable part
But really you are correct, in a essence here kid was bullied by police, and it got public - this does not make Canada look even close to police state.
mmm nope. I guess you are Russian? Me too, and as far as I remember in Soviet Union you could photo everything except clearly stated secret/military objects. But late Soviet Union was not really a police state. We had election with one candidate, to qualify for western democracy you got to have at least two - illusion of choice is a good tranquilizer. Speaking of asia - in Thailand you can pretty much do what you want (but please respect His Majesty!), responsibility is all yours - it's not a nanny state. And a full scale political riots that seem to really change something (i'm not into politics) occurring every couple of years. Next time just compare to North Korea, you can not miss with North Korea!
But yeah, it would be great if they would keep network transparency in Wayland but made a new protocol for it, fast enough for normal usage over the internet, supporting adjustable lossy compression, making coffee, BJ on demand and add a few other useful futures. Just wait, let me raise my army of Atomic Mutant Coders, it will be their second task.
Yep, we will lose this bragging point, but does it really matter? Not for me, Windows admins jaws - what are they good for? Yes, it is great future on paper, it works, but it's slow. Maybe latency is the main factor here - my ping times to my servers rarely less than 400 ms. Anyway, this functionality is needed by low percentage of geeks, I'm not even talking about average users. Managing servers is much more convenient by ssh - I do not need remote desktop for it. When I do need remote desktop - I need it to be responsive and support adjustable levels of lossy compression. I found that x2go is currently the best and easiest solution for my needs.
In my experience this network transparency of X11 is not really usable over the internet anyways - it's just too slow. I'm using x2go for linux remote desktop. Maybe it's useful over LAN, but is there many people who use it? Do you use it yourself?
Yep, it's all have been going on for too long - let them develop the freaking nukes already, that will balance the powers and bring peace to the region. Or anybody really think they will bomb Israel? Nope, they will not, as Israel also have the nukes so it will be MAD (Mutually Assured Desruction). Polititians or religious freaks can proclaim anything to please the crowd, but they will not turn their country into nuclear wasteland, and that is true for the both sides of conflict, as usual. USA-USSR, India-Pakistan - MAD strategy is perfect working solution, untill 100% working missile defence system is developed by one side.
I give Apple a credit for making hi-res mainstream. I'm typing it on IBM (Lenovo) T60 15'', retrofitted with t61 motherboard, intel t9300 2.5 GHz C2D, and QXGA (2048x1536) 4:3 IPS display, that I recently assembled from 'as new' parts.
Display was made sometime before 2006, so technology was there all the time, nobody just cared to make laptop out of it. Last laptop with this display was made by IBM around 2005, luckily display is compatible with slightly newer T60 laptop shell, which is compatible with slightly more newer T61 motherboard.
This is not true, in Russia it would happen earlier, there are multiple examples of seized servers due to IP violations. One country that I know that does not have IP laws is Vietnam.
Yeah, I would not be surprised if, once they get turnover again, coins will get "stolen" one more time. It's a common scheme with unlicensed online "banks".

Try thepiratebay.se, they are pretty good.
Provide movies that can't be downloaded.
*AA wet dream came true, at last somebody invented movies that can not be downloaded? I was unaware of that.

Perhaps it pass information by GET request trough google 'quick view' link.
subj
lame but easy way to check - right-click on network manager applet, if nothing happens - it's cinnamon.
Try MATE, it's working perfectly for me on Mint (ubuntu 12.04 based). It's a good old Gmone 2

For somebody who use stimulants its L-DOPA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-DOPA - amino acid precursor to dopamine.

Is it possible to test it right now? If so, what is the easiest way? I would try it on VM.
