Arm based mcu, a few megs of ram, a few megs of flash and usb host would make a nice system (and it won't be much bigger!) Than you can spend your time porting linux to it...
He might as well be a pathological liar. That's why you should consider facts, not his credentials. Might be good idea for global warming alarmists too, by the way.
Gaming and violence satisfy the same instinct. So do games (including chess). While they're related this way, they don't cause each other. Video games are bullied because they're percieved as minority's thing by older or technologically illiterate folks.
Mir was more than enough to test the effects of weightlessness on humans (we already know as much as needed), and non-medical experiments are better off on autonomous satellites than on huge-high-maintenance-microgravity-killing-inflate d-safety-requirements-because-of-human-presence station (think of MER vs manned Mars mission). We should have built artificial gravity (rotating) station instead, but reason is no contender to industry lobbying...
Why is it that no one insisted on Russia being systematically "deSovietized"
Who's gonna do it? It's not like communists packed and left. There are two ways to deSovietize Russia: civil war and invasion. Guess why noone wants to do that?
Why are people being sent to Siberia
Well, actually, Siberia is just a place. People live there. Noone's being sent there in the sence you imply. If you end up in Russian jail you may find yourself in some siberian prison, or some prison outside Siberia.
Once you get used to their good looks you'll understand that other kinds of pcs are better for practically all kinds of tasks.

I don't gamble. And I see no problem with eliminating less likely disaster scenario as long as doing so is within my reach. After all, you seems to be more worried about smoking than aging, despite the odds.
ever hear of second hand smoke Not just heard, but avoided without much ado.
By the same logic, I should wear a bullet proof vest No, you're insignificant target, comparing to 200+ people on a plane.
Okay, here's another one; why aren't we equipping trains with these? Trains are slow and don't have that much fuel(in fact, non at all).
You need to work much harder to kill the same amount of people on the train. And shoulder fired missiles won't do the job.
The whole point is that shoulder fired missiles are relatively accessible, work well and leave hundreds of people no chance of survival.
Definitely. The problem is that inventing such a system is hard. A commercial jet has a lot of fuel onboard. Enough to melt one of the world's biggest skyscrapers, for example. How do you suppress such fire?

With all those silly ideas about Moon they're gonna build a reasonable spacecraft. If only they could be stopped halfway...
It's a message to that school teacher in some remote Russian village who was charged with piracy. They don't want him to switch to linux, that's all.

It's broadcasting, dude! No downtime is allowed. Here in Soviet Russia we (broadcasters) do exactly the same, except that we prefer 2-year period.
Mean Pirate Assotiation of America? Who's gonna come up with better M* word?
Why would someone want to pirate a software problem?
Clearly, they're talking about Windows...
At least we know what he looks like.
We, masters of google image search, knew this long ago

Puppy Linux?
Hey, that's ok. I'll start worrying once KDE and GNOME guys start talking about virtualization, hypervisors e.t.c.
on youtube now?
Once the innovative game gets popular, it's cloned and bang! - it's ubiquitous. No innovative games anymore...

They're going to launch the Zune in EU, but not in Canada?

Not just heard, but avoided without much ado.
If an idiot admits that the Earth revolves around the Sun (common center of mass, bla-bla-bla) should we deny it just to avoid a bad company?
My relationship with smoking and my relation with Stingers are quite different. Just think who makes the choice.

Once a couple of hundred perished americans are not worth americans' attention, things will go your way. Whould you want it to happen sooner?
