I remember when an inkjet driver fit on a fucking 3.5 floppy, had pretty much the same print quality, and didn't install a goddamn update service, system tray, and a "helper" app.
That's funny, when we did our last physical inventory our Slate 500s ran our ERP system and USB scanner just fine.
Probably saved us a half a day or more of data entry.
The Billings method prevents fertilization. It also allows you to know exactly when you can conceive if you are trying to have a child.
Stop being an ignorant bigot.
Can we all agree to enforce mandatory penalties for programmers (or their bosses) who create services and systray apps?
Something that makes them really think about whether or not it's necessary to put some bloated application in my system tray.
I'm thinking a wedgie for unnecessary services and a cock punch for unnecessary tray apps.
Apple, Java, Adobe, HP, I'm looking at you...
I'll admit that I really want to give the Quicktime developers a cock punch.
In all seriousness, and without much in the way of research just yet: why not preemptively install GRUB, or some other boot loader, even if the machine is only a single boot Win system?
I wouldn't trust that all trace of an MBR- or boot-sector-resident virus is eliminated without something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=1024. If you have the time, shred -vzn 0/dev/sda obliterates everything on the disk.
Amateurs. I wouldn't trust a system without, at least, melting down and reforging the disk platters and then hand coding a new BIOS on punch card.
I have an HP Slate on my desk right now. It's awesome.
I have a USB bar code scanner hooked to it that I can use for data collection on our ERP system.
It costs a fraction of the price of an MC9090.
It does flash.
it does firefox +adblock +flashblock +noscript.
I can hook it up to my to my LCD TV (either wired or wireless USB to HDMI & VGA adapter)
It is, however, heavy and could have better battery life. I assume the iPad is better on those points.
I could see my Mom using one of these as her main system with a dock+keyboard+mouse+monitor.

Yes, I am angry about this.
Ask GE what is the ROI for a member of congress?

The apps already exist.
There is one problem with your horse analogy. Horse people are crazy.
So technically, yes, you're ignorant but you're also not crazy.
I don't know about glass blowers. I kinda get a "theater nerd" vibe from those guys.
WTH? It's like I opened up "The Two Towers" at page 219 having never read Tolkien before.
That's what you get for not reading the book :P
Yeah, definitely, definitely, bread ties. Uh oh, fifteen minutes to Judge Wapner.
Can you point us to some of that commentary?
That's simple. Just make the left rail Russian and the right one NA.
You're welcome.
Social skills relative to who? Humans or Vulcans?
I submit that their social skills were just fine on Vulcan or there would be no Vulcans.

Maybe you should work on an algorithm to determine the most efficient method for picking grapes.
Wikipedia says she's "goddess of marriage" so the frying pan makes sense.
HA! I read that in Dr. Hawas's voice.
It's Sunday. All expletives should have a religious context, goddamnit.
Jesus Christ, that's not even Fark worthy.
Try an HP slate w/ a bluetooth scanner. Ours runs Win7 and our ERP system.

...Echelon has more clock cycles available.
Now be a good citizen and turn yourself in.

...also, never say "Bitcoin" three times while looking into a mirror.
The south is a cesspool of bigotry.
The women are fat and ugly. The people are rude.
There's no heavy industry and the coastline is polluted.
No one should move here^H^H^H^H there.
