You can push for the design output, but only at the expense of maintenance, and there's a glowing lump in the Ukraine that demonstrates what happens then.

Chernobyl had nothing whatsoever to do with maintenance. It happened as the direct consequence of an ill conceived experiment, which deliberately bypassed safety protocols, with the added bonus that the experiment was moved at the last minute from the day-shift to the less experienced night-shift crew.

Comment Magic Trackpad; someone else's monitor (Score 1) 269

You still have no way of operating the GUI elements. Phones have a touchscreen interface.

When the phone is in "pretend to be a desktop" mode, with a Bluetooth keyboard and an external monitor, its touch surface would behave like a trackpad. People who have used Apple's Magic Trackpad would have little trouble adapting.

And in carrying all those bits, you might as well have brought a laptop

I didn't carry a monitor. I carried a phone, a ZAGGkeys Flex keyboard, and an HDMI video cable, and I'm using someone else's monitor that happens to be in front of me.
