If they offer a choice, the average user is going to choose internet explorer anyway. The reason is simple... The name.

Your average user is going to think, "I want to go on the internet, the program there that most obviously does that is Internet Explorer." The only way a browser is ever going to knock out Internet Explorers dominance with the uneducated is by being named "The InterWebs" (c) 2009 theeddie55
then wire the battery compartment to the outside of the case with a sign saying stick 3 volts here, that way there's no need for the exact battery type to be included.
a good rant, it seems you've done your research most of the way through until you get to "and the head of Lehman Brothers" who is Richard Fuld, an NYU alma mater
1. before television, did people mostly dream in color, dream in black and white or just not dream?
2. young children who only watch cartoons, what sort of dreams do they have?
and if **you** RTFA, you'll see that the option being considered isn't disclosed, it says "The laptops can run on an open source operating system with a suite of open source applications like those packaged under Edubuntu." it seems to me that they want to compile their own version of linux along these lines.
I can date in game advertising back further than that, we were playing Action Biker on the commodore 64 in 1985. The main character was Clumsy Colin, the mascot for KP Skips.
Spontaneous questioning, even from a person, is never really spontaneous. The best example is a child, they tend to ask a lot of questions, but none of these are spontaneous. A new born child will not ask a question like "Am I alive now?". The questions asked by a child will all be based on previous learning. My daughter didn't start asking questions until she was 2, and incidentally hasn't stopped since. What I'm trying to say is, if you can program a computer to question and learn from the answers, it's questions can seem like concious thought, though it will need some input to base its initial questions on.
now why didn't I think of that... oh... wait... I did. It's still an imperial measure of time and a metric measure power, as I pointed out in my original post.
ok, you give me either an imperial equivalent of the watt or a metric equivalent of the hour (one that's actually usable) then we can come up with a suitable unit of measurement to keep you happy.
I could have used many alternative expressions to to relay my sentiment, but none that work on quite so many levels, so I plan to stick with my current wording.
if slashdot reported everything that was "at some level" technology news, it would just be a news site.

I myself enjoy comparing apples and oranges in my copious free time.
that sounds like a really boring hobby, you should try comparing apples with jet engines and oranges with elephants, it will make you a much more rounded individual who is happier about life in general.

Unfortunately, with read/write speeds of 300MBps you may have to accept compression.
maybe you should read the article next time, then you'd know what the hell you were replying to.
make this mandatory for taxi drivers then we'll be heading in the right direction.
that's more of a hardware fault than a software fault, and a decent UPS would have probably solved it depending on how far it had to be moved.
You must be new here. Of course it's necessary to quote the entire post, what sort of person's going to click the link to read it.
yeah, but that's a problem that only effects the douchebags, so unless you're a douchebag, it's not your problem.
BDM was an IT company with a military contract.
so i'll be an insensitive 0.1% cloud to complete the cycle.
hey... I've done some linux development and can throw chairs as well as the next man (*checks to make sure the next man isn't Steve Ballmer*)
yes... the end where all the dribble comes out.

Unless they're developing board games, which negates the need for a games console anyway.
a non-tech company with game developers, now that would be interesting.

No, it means that Munroe is actually a stick figure!
