Not only have products like this been on the market for some time -- even big enough for laptops -- ThinkGeek sells a better one that keeps your phone from falling.

My XBox 360 came with a 250GB HDD, and I can install my games to the HDD for improved load times without hacking my console.

True, the business-level workstations - i.e. Precisions - can come with Red Hat, I was referring to Ubuntu in particular. They have a lot of FreeDOS as well.

On top of that, why can I only pick two laptops with Ubuntu on them?

The Vostro v13 / Latitude 13 and the Latitude 2100 laptops' base models come running Ubuntu as well, but it is admittedly slim pickings. No desktops?

Assuming all goes well on STS-134, we'd end up with a checked-out, launch-ready shuttle stack that's already been paid for. Atlantis's Launch On Need (LON) mission STS-335 could become STS-135 and fly a stripped-down, 4-person crew to the STS, delivering extra supplies and an additional Multi-Purpose Logistics Module. If something went wrong on STS-134, Soyuz capsules would be used in place of another shuttle LON. Source.

Actually, we can hope she will fly again with clean consciences.

Your heirs are living beings. The EULA explicitly states that no living beings may use the software as-licensed. This clearly results in a vicious cycle in which your descendants are punished in perpetuity. I'm guessing the US budget deficit operates under a similar EULA...

Don't forget about the infamous NBC weapons clause in iTunes's EULA:

You also agree that you will not use these products for any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, or nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.

The reality distortion field will not be weaponized!

Maybe you should have read for 15 seconds -- you might have seen all the reports of the bug still occurring in current versions (such as my own).

This is probably Atlantis' last flight. However:

When she lands later this month, Atlantis won't be mothballed. She'll be put back in the standard post-flight turnaround process to ready her for the Launch On Need (LON) mission STS-335, intended to provide rescue capability if necessary for the last currently scheduled shuttle mission, Endeavor's STS-134. It has been pointed out that, assuming all goes well on STS-134, there will be a bought-and-paid-for STS stack checked out and ready to go... why not use it? STS-335 would become STS-135, and would fly next year with a four-person crew to the ISS, delivering a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module and extra supplies and equipment. Russian Soyuz ships would be used if rescue became necessary.
