The only native apps in the future will be high performance applications such as databases. Other than that, everything will be delivered as Software as a Service.

I will believe this when I see the first serious engineering application written in it. Like, Pro/E, SolidWorks, Matlab etc.

I'm just saying, pay attention to when you have to do it and you'll see some room for potential invention.

Why don't you start to pay attention yourself? The guy cooked up a solution that he can run on every device he owns, wondering how far he could take the principle of his solution. Then you advertise buying a separate hardware gadget as an improvement on that? WTH, man?

The point is, this mode uses Gnome-Shell. I can't use Gnome-Shell on my Netbook, because i use external monitors with it in extend desktop mode and the intel driver for my hardware doesn't support 3d acceleration with these "large" virtual resolutions. So making Gnome-Shell look like Gnome 2 doesn't help at all.

You don't tell me anything new. Birthday number x marks the end of year number x of your life. The same applies to years: new year 2000 marks the end of year 2000. If you begin counting at zero (like with birthdays), of course, as the ISO standard does. If you prefer the gregorian calender, then new year 2000 is actually the beginning of year number 2000. Because there's no year zero in this calendar.

"Even ship propellers of more than eleven metres in
diameter can thus be machined with an
accuracy of a few hundredths of a millimetre."

Ok, it's made for machining casted propellers, but the dimensions come close :)

Picard went back in time and brought back Data's head. Kirk brings back two whales and picks up a blonde.

How about: Picard went back in time and eradicated the Borg after surviving assimilation?

And that's the difference between Sisko and Picard. Picard wore his uniform on the inside, Sisko wore it on the outside.

Because I can live with it. I _can_ live with it. Computer. Erase that entire personal log.
