Lol, so you guys finally discovered it! Well you're too late, haha. I am now going to invest my points in heart failure and liver failure and your doctors will never have a cure in time!

Nope, not after AngularJs you don't. Not another framework needed. After huge loads of jquery before I ever knew what a client-side architecture was, and then knockout and backbone. I found my home with Angular. I know that will be developed and fine-grained further by both professionals AND the community.

And it already kicks ass. Pretty sweet...

I believe two things should be just as important as swimming lessons for kids: coding and judo. Judo because it challenges them physically, improves their confidence and helps them recognize conflicts. Coding because it helps their creativity and computer literacy. In a perfect world, everyone eventually learns how to automate their tasks (or at least to some degree). My two cents though.

I read your interesting post and I am going to let my wife read it as well. Thank you very much for taking the time to type all that out!

Thank you, that was good advice. And uplifting for myself as well, might I add.

It's downright crap, to be honest. The doctors say that any brain stem function disabled by pressure to the brain should return after the crucial first 48 hours. Those passed. Now they say we're looking at months, possibly years, if ever....

I'm not particularly religious, but I highly appreciate any well wishes, absolutely including these. Many people have promised prayers in our direct surroundings and I assure you we accept them wholeheartedly. Thank you.

That's what we've indeed been focusing on the first week. And you're right. As the only tech-savvy person in the family though, I am already researching the options asked in my questions. But thanks, we definitely continue to reassure her in every possible way.

Dasher is a solid suggestion too. It's new to me. I'm am currently looking into what hardware it best suits. Thank you.

Thank you for your suggestions. I have written emails to both Mr. Guenther and the Unlock team. They seem to be operating in a small section of the United States, but not asking is a definite 'no'. So to speak. We'll see.

You're right of course. It's not the OS' fault. You know this, and so do I. But it's beside the point. To make a succesful desktop OS you needn't concern yourself (like, ever) with those driver issues.

It's understandable, but then again, it really isn't.

But it always felt a little ironic that Ubuntu crashes about once every 5 times on my desktop while Win8 (dual boot) runs flawlessly.

I mean c'mon, just make it f-in work out of the box. Won't install it anymore. Especially with a raspberry in my network for my dicking around in a linux distro.

Seems to me that a plane flying into space and land by itself should be the real race shouldn't it? This doesn't seem very low cost (relatively maybe). Is this a necessary step engineering-wise?

Me. I would totally do that. And have in the past. To much satisfaction. Especially 2008 r2. It's awesome. (haven't tried 2012 in the enterprise)
