I like my HP because its a power-house. Its certainly lighter than a desktop. Whats the issue? I also like my X60T but it does come close to the power I can put out with my HP DV9000. So, I 'tough out' and carry my anchor around. More sissies.

Really? I traveled weekly for 2 months carrying my personal laptop and my work laptop. Get a better bag.

Back breaking? I carry around a 17" HP DV9000 fully loaded laptop and barely notice it. Perhaps you should get some exercise. Certainly beats carrying around my old kit, 70lbs ruck-sack, 16lbs rifle, and ammo. Sissy.

Also, the Arctic is in fact an Ocean...Oceans contain salt which dramatically lowers the freezing point of water.

Freezing point of water changes with pressure. I imagine that these subs are not firing at the surface but rather below it?

Is Safari an integral part of the OS? Nope. Can you remove Safari? I think so but I haven't used a mac in ages.

There still seems to be a serious lack of Blackberry love from Android. Why is that? Any suggestions/guides for going about getting Android on mine?

Anyone know the procedure for detecting these? I imagine A/V companies setup 'honeypots' of sorts on high traffic networks and that but how do you detect something new like this? Do they track it through an old signature?

I'm curious, in your opinion what is a better use of my learning time? I'm learning bash scripting and python scripting at the moment as I am a sysadmin with a lot of time. What do you propose I learn instead?

The man IS watching you...through the news he feeds you(it contains tiny microchips with GPS functionality). Consider a diet high in fiber.

No doubt content = money but I am curious, will you be targeting paid content or will paid membership just allow for some extra features? Nice to haves but not necessary.
