not only that : there surely is a way to put a keyboard on a tablet. And not a separate keyboard, or a keyboard that turns it into a baby laptop, but a keyboard on the tablet itself.

It is not that terrible, because a shit lof of "telemetry data" is collected and thus they should know what the printer was, error messages of the print spooler or even some internal state of the service.
Or so I would think.
When Firefox crashes and asks to send the crash report, I never add information, or perhaps once in a thousand time.

I don't get the hate about Mozilla, the "File Edit View..." menu bar is enabled back with a couple of clicks and then what I'm getting is good enough. Still gets faster, lighter and less crashy because all of the work is under the hood, and last month replacing Ad Block Plus with ublock made it faster/lighter too.

ISIS recruits idiots who grew up with Call of Duty and modern zombie movies (rather than say, Doom and Counterstrike 1.x). They do the killing and splatter for the fun of it. Some mix of dude bro fun and complacently useful fervor.

A friend comes over, before he leaves we copy about 7GB of data to his USB drive (empty, by the way) and that takes about half a hour. That's what I am bitching about. Copying from hard drive to hard drive on 100BaseT network was so much better (with no stall when doing concurrent copying)

And writing music to USB thumb drive is painfully slow. Most ones will give you a few MB/s of write speed, and it is compounded by the fact you write some hundreds of file so there's slowdown at each "boundary" compared to the favorable case of writing a few big files.

A 128GB SD card might do well, if that's your main music collection you're fitting here. At least, it stays unchanged most of the time. You still have to not mind the slowness and at that cost you could have had a 256GB SSD in the laptop.

... it only lacks a good web browser.

I would get a low-profile micro-ATX, so I can still have cards in it : at least the sound card and then whatever current or future need.
no hardware dongles / external hardware, roomy for at least one 3.5 HDD and two 2.5HDD.

We'll engineer a very cheap, advanced bio nanotech super food that has the potential to replicate the device that generated it. We'll call that an "egg".

I assume the capsule is buried in the ground (perhaps TFA would tell me), that would probably be stable enough. Else, I'd look for a place people have been making cheese for centuries before active environment control systems.

It's worse than that. The Raspberry Pi doesn't come with a clock.

Intel acts weird with the "tray price", on CPUs that only OEMs can get e.g. core i7 4950HQ is officially at $623 but it is speculated the OEM doesn't pay as much.

It would be possible but very unlikely. A laptop with dual NIC and a serial port would be fun to some people I'm sure, but you won't find it even though it's trivial to make one. So the chance of seeing a laptop with that server CPU and mandatory external GPU are zero.

But very interesting is they announce support for 2.5 Gbps ethernet. That's like a little suprise, a workaround to the semi-failure of 10G gaining traction.
It can do 100 meters over CAT5e, from this old pdf http://www.ieee802.org/3/minut...

So, if it comes to fruition maybe 2.5 Gb does the trick and it could end up as a desktop/laptop standard (besides cooling, putting a controller on PCIe 1x 2.0 would be a no-brainer)

Support AMD : get a Xeon-D motherboard and add an AMD graphics card to it!
