Have you investigate net-top form-factor PCs at all? The Acer Aspire Revo has caught my eye recently and sounds promising and good enough to play High Definition media.

Not much storage, but external HDDs are cheap and plentiful and easy to hide away--alternative a NAS box could be nice in a cupboard somewhere!

There will not be a likely shortage of IPv6 addresses in any of our lifetimes.

Unless we perfect nanotechnology and each little gizmo needs its own address ;D

What real wars have you fought since then?

Facebook allows you to download almost all of the content from your profile, including messages and photos so this is less of a problem now.

Go to about:flags and enable the Print Preview option.

Just choose to host your data on your own server then? That's your choice as far as I can tell.

Considering that Google doesn't even let Facebook import contacts anymore, there is nothing stopping them blocking IMAP access from facebook.com.

That's only really relevant in countries that have air conditioning common-place (I assume hot places?).

I live in the UK and I don't know anyone (domestic residence) that has air-con.

I'm pretty sure the parent is implying that Disney movies are simply a mechanism to get people to buy Disney merchandise such as toys, T-Shirts, holidays to Disney Land etc.--essentially the movie is an advertisement.

But is it monkey navigated?!

This seems like a uniquely American problem, over here (i.e. UK) you can buy any phone and put any old SIM card into it--be it PAYG or contract.

How many people have close-up photos & videos of themselves scattered across facebook, flickr, youtube, etc?

GPS-Based hook-up mobile apps already exist for this purpose! Google for Grindr if you're into a little random man-on-man action.

Are the airlines entitled to exist? If they become irrelevant then they just fail and collapse, or am I understanding you wrong? (I don't live in the USA so things are different there maybe?)

I live in the UK and our rail network has been attacked several times, nothing has changed at all concerning security and we walk on and off trains quite freely as long as we have a ticket. Apparently we don't scare so easily.
