You can also use bluetooth keyboards with this. It is more like the Brydge, only, well, first party: http://thebrydge.com/

I clicked your link. I read the article you linked. It has nothing at all to do with the text you provided for it. O_o

I can't tell if you accidentally linked the wrong article, or were doing a pretty clever gamble... :o

I am a bit in awe; you posted a link, then outright fabricated entirely different results to rant against -- and still you have several people nodding and agreeing with you... and a score of 4, while I'm writing this.

That's making being adverse to RTFM to a new level and making it work for you.

I thought a lot of what you said made sense, but -- hobbyists don't value their time less; they just enjoy their hobby. It's different from a company.

Maybe I should RTFA more often.

I have one! It is an excellently designed tablet, with a nice feel in the hand, physical buttons for media and volume, cameras, a great screen.

I sincerely wish I had paid more and bought a cheap android tablet instead.

Hey, Linux can run Android Apps -- in fact, aside from that Bluestack or something that runs it on Windows, and Blackberry's Android Player, that's where it runs natively.

Kinda wish it could run on desktop linux.

I actually clicked and read that... and, err... that's a bit of fuss about nothing, isn't it?

I bought one and really like it. It's a nice choice if you really want a netbook, and maybe sometimes to use a tablet -- which turns out to be precisely my preference... aside from seldom using it outside the dock.

The main advantage over a netbook that costs less would be the IPS screen and battery life. All the same, to be honest -- I think I would have been just as happy or more so with a netbook or chromebook, which would also have been thinner and lasted a bit less on battery, but not been quite as fun for PDFs and the like.

I actually RTFA to see if he said that.

<spoilers>Not in so many words...</spoilers>

His friend might have seen it, too. Around here, people like thinking up funny names for their SSIDs. It wouldn't mean the FBI really made the hotspot.

Well, a quick summary...

BART (short for Bay Area Rapid Transit) is the mass transit system for San Francisco and surrounding cities -- think of it as like the Subway in New York, or the Underground in London, or the Mass Transit improvement you build in Civ to restore the one one city health penalty you lost when you made that coal plant.

A group of people decided to protest the BART security shooting a drunk guy who was trying to attack them with a knife. BART, which runs repeater cell stations so that people who ride it can use their cell phones, initially responded by disabling that cell network to prevent protestors from coordinating their efforts to block the trains from running by climbing on the tracks, but later gave in and kept it enabled.

They did not run trains on the stations where protestors blocked the tracks, as that would have killed the protestors, but the protestors and some commentators here are angry they still ran the other trains, I think. I'm not clear on this part, to be honest.

It's actually spelled "American". You're welcome.

(You also need to replace a couple of those commas with semicolons -- and no need for thanks; I'm happy to help.)

Yes. And if he at least goes through screening, the TSA can make sure he isn't carrying any weapons he could use to do that with before they hand him his pistol back on the other side!

Or he could just use said pistol... let's just hope nobody thinks of that. ;)
