Oddly enough that might not be the demographic they are aiming at, but I would think that would be the demographic more likely to buy one.
Much like the OLPC, they may have been targeted at undeveloped nations, but I would bet more geeks bought them as toys than how many were deployed to undeveloped nations.
I'm pretty sure the comment was for general usage, which is normally just Email and internet usage with some office apps thrown in. That is what a celeron with 2gigs of ram would be sufficient for.
Yes, there are many many programs that are used in many fields that would not fit into the celeron with 2 gigs comment. I work in an office environment, we don't need massive processors, we don't need massive video cards, all we need is a low end processor with a good amount of ram.
That is what I got from reading his comment, but apparently I am in the minority.
If you cure 90% of those with HIV you have also reduced the possible spread of infection by 90%.
Eventually that 10% may swell to pre-vaccine ( if this pans out ) levels, but it would take decades for HIV to get back up to the level of infection it is at today ( if this pans out ).

I am no aerospace engineer, about as far from it as you can get, but I would think that wing = drag.
Yes, some drag is needed for lift, but can you fit enough passengers in just a wing and then can you fit that wing on a runway?
The vast majority will be found out quickly and easily, very few people have really good photoshop skills.
So, what safeguards are they employing to make sure that the vast majority of abuse cases would be found out quickly and easily?
Photoshop would be easier.

Neither is Email or internet usage.

Graphically intensive? I think that was his point, if you do not need a graphically intensive computer then a celeron with 2 gigs of ram will do you.
He wasn't trolling, but you I'm not so sure of.
I think the last thing China wants is more people to govern.
they have a clear idea of who their opponents are and they're developing the most effective methods of defeating them
That they do. Subs to counter the US and a billion man army to counter Russia.
Push against it with a laser to either send it into the atmosphere to burn up or out of orbit.
At least that has been my suggestion. Seems the simplest.
Not one that would be powerful enough to knock out existing satellites, but just enough to push around space junk.
With a face like the new Doctors I think Sci-fi Superhero is the best he may be able to get.
or whatever scares most people at the current time.
Dick Cheney?
Funny, when I have people complaining about their audio on their computers I direct them to download the Realtek drivers to solve it.
Well when you quit submitting quality links with great summaries this website has just gone to hell.
Why don't you submit better stories with great summaries anymore?
I am of course being sarcastic, but really if you want better submit better.
I'm thinking they want to give the carriers the option of selling advertising on the Droid X.
I blame single issue voters with the political situation we have now.
But where do they get their campaign contributions?
You make it sound like its not beneficial to mankind to kill off some of its less co-operative members.
Don't worry, we have a copy of Norton we can load on to Skynet's computers when the day comes. That should delay things.
The military has been moving to precision instead of magnitude, I'm sure there are plenty of warheads that could be loaded on this.
After all, the suitcase nuke is a real weapon. A nuke does not have to weigh tons to do tons of damage.
I wonder how XP64 got that reputation, cause it sure doesn't reflect reality.

Hey, I want them to continue to make special effect heavy movies, and if I wanted reality I would watch documentaries.
They are making money hand over fist, they just claim to not make any profits when they are so that they won't have to pay people what they are owed.
They already exist, no need to develop one to cheat with. Any moron could use one.

Under your criteria thinking about a subject would make it no longer emission free since the body emits waste products while thinking.
Why even plants emit, are you going to bitch about that also?
That would be all cool and exciting, except the game is a simulation of living in a harsh desolate wasteland.
I've lived in Big Piney Wyoming, harsh desolate wastelands suck and are boring.
