but a 10" doesn't. Also, what do you mean by "too small"? The number of pixels on a Nexus 7 matches a lot of the larger tablets, so as long as you can read the smaller font size you're golden. Lastly, 7" is small and light enough to easily hold it in one hand. 10" is borderline too bulky.
I say all the above as the owner of a firesale Touchpad. I use it a lot (alternate between WebOS/CM9 as needed), but I'd probably really like a Nexus 7.
In the case of Linux, you get billions of dollars worth of software for free. In that case, it can absolutely make sense to hire a programmer to do work on Linux (that will be contributed back to the community) because it enables other programmers to do more directly-lucrative work.
Also, there is a vast amount of programming that gets done to customize things for a particular domain. They're not going to sell it afterwards, they just need it in-house. In this context it can make financial sense to open-source it and allow others in the same boat to use it because then they contribute back and you can benefit from their changes.
I played around with a Raspberry Pi running XBMC, but found it a bit laggy and the IR receiver dongle I had acted like a mouse rather than as arrow keys, making navigation painful.
Rather than buying a Pi, case, memory card, and new IR dongle, I ended up getting a Pivos XIOS DS. Running their pure XBMC firmware it works pretty well and is noticeably faster than the Pi.
Basically whether you're doing "work for hire" or working independently. If independently, you could have a clause saying that anything you write independently is licensed by default under the GPL, with a dual license giving the company non-exclusive rights to use/modify/distribute.
If they want exclusive rights, they get charged more because it means you can't reuse that stuff later (and you can't reuse stuff from previous jobs).
My 2yo and 3yo sons regularly bite/scratch/beat on each other. In adults this would be assault and battery (possibly even aggravated assault). Are you proposing that they should go to jail?
Your sarcastic tone is not exactly helpful. If someone wants to be sneaky they'll find a way to do it. Back in the day they'd pretend to go to sleep then sneak out the bedroom window. Nowadays they can use their phone, or a friend's phone, or tablet, or whatever. If they don't have a dataplan there's free wifi all over.
Basically you cannot hope to totally control a kid once they get to this age...all you can do is be there, be attentive, and hope that you've done a good enough job parenting to cover the times when they're on their own.
they had a number of kids run late in a band practice, with some others near the school office. They were physically present in the school but not in the "normal" count and so the school wouldn't have gotten money for them.
This is not to say that I agree with it...changing the procedures on how the "normal" count gets done should be sufficient.
I can pull an RPM from a SuSE distribution, and as long as I meet the prerequisites it will install and run just fine on RHEL...or even on a roll-your-own distro.
I've seen tons of horror stories from people that ordered from RS Components (AKA Allied). On the other hand, people ordering from Farnell/Newark/element14 seem to be able to get them within days.
The one distributor (RS, I think) is notorious for crazy long shipping times, while the other has almost always had stock. Cancel your order, go with the other guy.

Cheapest option is likely to just stick a consumer-grade router box with firewall in front of it.
since there is little reason for the XP VM to have full network access.

It's only normal people that fly with other passengers.

"Unlawful killings without malice or intent are considered manslaughter."
Checking the current curriculum, and in grade 11 you need at least one of biology/chemistry/computer science/physics/general science.
So basically you need to take at least one hard science, but you have some choice as to what it is.

So pacemaker manufacturers put in mechanism for making 800 volt shocks?
Read the article. It's an implantable _defibrillator_. You know, the ones where they used to rub the pads together and yell, "Clear!" before using?

It's not between distros, but between versions.

Odd but true.
Electronic traction control does reduce accident rates, but it usually costs more.
hit your brakes to give them room.
Studies show that ABS brakes do NOT reduce accident rates, but electronic traction control does. (It's more complicated and expensive though.)
Given the amount of depreciation in the first few years of a car's life, generally speaking a used car makes far more financial sense than a new one.
Yes, you may get the odd lemon but on the whole you're far ahead financially buying used.

They seem to be handling this competently, while RS Components/Allied seems to be screwing up royally.
Cancel your order and go with Farnell/Newark/element14
