Probably drivers, I imagine, or is the OS architecture a limitation by itself?

I meant partible paternity, btw. Proof-reading FTW!

That is a very controversial topic; the variables that impact evolution are usually too complex to extract simple conclusions like those. Some defend that the group's survival may trump that more simplistic view, and that men in the small hunter-gatherer groups from which our species originated didn't really distinguish between "their" babies and other's; they were just babies of the group. It's argued that the idea that a baby would have only one male parent wasn't prevalent as well, which might have come more from domesticating cattle later on. Still today it's common in many tribes to believe in portable paternity. It's also argued that men's competition didn't happen quite as much on the "outside", but more on the inside of the womb. Again, it's hard to make a sweeping generalization like that.

Wait, what? I'm an expert in pornography. Been researching it since 1995

It was hard enough to find porn on the internet, and now this?! This is insane!!

This is AlphaDog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSbZrQp-HOk&feature=relmfu

In the end, they show it getting back up. I imagine Big Dog has a few of those procedures as well.

It looked uncanny to me too. I think I'd expect those joints to bend the other way, instead.

John Medina is a molecular biologist, author of the book "Brain Rules". It's a great book, I bought the audiobook which is read by himself, I can't recommend it enough. Anyway, he uses his laptop on top of a treadmill in his office. His reasons are different than yours, they're about a connection between our brain's activity and certain kinds of exercise, and it's all in the book.

I just went to his website and I'm surely not alone.

Well done.

I use three different types of mice during the day. Different types means different patterns due to the way they're used. Even if I use different mice of the same type, they vary wildly in sensitivity. Plus, if I use a mouse in a different pc, I'm never sited in the same way at the same exact distance (actually, I'm usually standing, leaning over the desk) which means that a different mechanic will be used by my body to get the cursor where I want it to be.

All in all, this is a cool idea but I can't see it have any practical use unless in very specific scenarios for very specific purposes.

I've been trying to implement Ubuntu on the workplace for some time now and most of the problems that people have with it are the result of their familiarity with Windows. People don't like change, especially when they don't see its benefits, and it's hard to make people that are almost IT illiterate to understand that taking away a tool that worked perfectly for something different, is a good move. They'll move and then every little problem that they stumble upon results in a lot of frustration because they could do their work faster without all the hassle of learning something new with something they had before.

Also, there are some specific things:

- Office. With the change to LibreOffice comes complaints of documents not being shown the way they were made in Word. The need to understand the different file extensions. Some Thunderbird's quirks.

- Legacy in-house applications developed in a language that doesn't work on Linux.

- Games. This one is for home, obviously. The only reason I still have a Windows system is to play pc games. Maybe Valve can start changing that.
