It's a balancing act. (In legitimate cases) Torrents help uplink-starved sources when there are many interested downloaders.
With few downloaders, you're better off manually going to the source (http) directly. KTorrent offering http it makes me wonder if the protocol could extend to use http as another source (for starvation cases).
Even more so, I know someone in Peru who can't possibly download Ubuntu at a decent speed, but the torrents see great performance there as it goes over area networks instead of slow backbones.
Simplification is easy: answer "if this point was missing, what's the angular difference lost?" and if it's below a threshold then do it.
Then area thresholds could be set, or more logic to do it for you.
You should try Ubuntu (latest).
- 25s boot
- Guest mode that hides your stuff from them and deletes whatever they save
- Encrypted Home directory checkbox on install
- I can run on ARM (your smart-phone's CPU).
But wait, there's more:
- 1000 Local apps just a 1-click away.
- Printers are easy to work with
- Burning CDs is built-in
- USB cameras, scanners, etc just work
- Amazing range of hardware compatibility built-in (more than Vista).
- Use your Windows-only or Mac-only hardware on the other system, or to ARM.
And that's not Ubuntu-specific, but most mainstream Linuxes.
Every small business has that little Windows app that nothing else can run, Wine (Linux project) hasn't broken that despite years of trying.
But those apps will need updates for Windows 2027. When they do, it will be get the "make it work 80% of everywhere" request, which may not be Windows anymore.
Most IT admins want to centralize apps' maintenance & backups already. That often means intranet browser apps. But if ChromeOS is only attractive to IT admins then it won't go far.
After reading about 4G/WiMax/Mesh-networking/Very-low-orbit repeaters, your spot in the Rockies may have access by 2027. 20 years is long, where was there access in 1989?
There's a new equalizer this round that keeps Google honest: Open Source.
They're fueling open-source development (which is true for all of GP's technologies).
If after Microsoft they threaten data security or other freedoms then someone will make their own netbook for the same price that's running Chromium with 3D, Cloud Desktop, etc just by copying the source legally.
If they close-source things to change this, then you're already a reader on the right site to hear about it.
Wikipedia says magsafe magnets find paricles and can become trouble. I imagine usb could be made reversable though (if we are going with a redesign).
Idea: let's use the velcro on baby clothes instead of magnets.
Its so quick-release that babies can pull it off.
Consider Ubuntu Linux. Its security updates aren't just packaged preferences & programs you don't want.

Better standards are the future, but binary has endian-ness and a spec & tags for everything. That only avoids the overhead of compressing html text which compresses very well and decompresses very easily (and in parallel).
ODF is GZip(XML) (not inherently binary), yet already sees some of the problems with a format no-one writes directly, so it looks different in the 3-4 editors (Symphony, OOo, KOffice, MS).
I think standards should stay text(-able) & optimized for the slowest piece: the programmer. Meaning:
- Fast turing languages with included libraries.
- Higher-level primitives (like what UI has had for years) that have predictable looks
- An improved automatic layout (one of the things that made HTML great, then stagnated when people treat the web as print)
- Not too wordy (like b, i, and u tags)
- Optionally Distributable/reusable/overwritable (like CSS) to a greater degree that includes content.
-Departure from location to "app" per site with assumptions designed for interactivity.
They did it, here's a feature we won't want to live without, yet it guarantees them that Ads are delivered: Server Push.
Without it, you have round-trips for each page component. With it, forget adblock, even if you don't want to see the Ad, you downloaded it.
Don't care about the download, you still want adblock? Not in Chrome.

If your answer is: 5 separate programs, each installed differently across different platforms, each inevitably having their own learning curve that doesn't benefit those migrating to a different platform, then pass.

Googling "disgusting" gives many things I consider more disgusting than this, and they're legal to photograph. Why single this out, because of psychological harm to innocents?

It's X11 changes that have helped make Wayland possible. Also, the breaking it apart into different pieces has helped accelerate it and offers an opportunity for some of those pieces to be replaced.
I'd say the biggest problem is that it's still X11 instead of an army of pieces that are re-assembled differently for each distros intentions. Also, swappable pieces like Wayland should help add options without disposing of 20 years of work all at once.
o Drivers - Since Vista, Linux has supported more hardware than Windows. Specifically for Netbooks you have the all-Intel Atom which Intel has already written drivers 100% for, and you (may) have ARM which has had Linux as its target platform for years.
o Games - Iphone games don't need Windows, Linux has 100s of open source games for the casual gamer. Oh, and don't forget Wii, PS3, DSi, etc that don't need Windows.
o Photoshop - Image Editing isn't magic anymore and even if you haven't seen Gimp in a few years, there are many free & paid replacements.
My concerns for Linux Netbooks are:
o AutoCad (there are some replacements, but it has as much lockin as Word),
o QuickBooks (no business that does taxes can escape the fact that it's the only way to work with an outside accountant. At-least individuals have online tax prep software. )
Except most of the performance value from -64 was from an increased register set that ARM already has. 64-bit extensions are likely easier to implement than x86 decode.
Atoms using less power would hurt ARM, but a licensable?? processor is interesting as well (from a competitive standpoint).

"Where's the evidence" ("how do we justify our world view") is also a problem evolutionists are desperately looking for answers for.
With no proof of divine creation, and no end-to-end proof "life from originally non-Living things through natural processes", it's wide open.
Even if the evolution possibility is demonstrated, "where did the universe come from?" and other questions remain.
