Other than being able to recognise the hardware as a mouse, I see no support for my toshiba touchscreen laptop (élan hardware) working fundamentally different than an absolute mouse pad (ie no contextual gestures, swiping). I'm required to have surgical precision finger placement to manage scrolling via scroll bar and text editing, not very useful.

I have my touchscreen on fedora21 and find it unusable. The screen acts as an absolute mouse pad rather than a tablet, so scrolling and text editing takes surgical precision

It's been around for years. Fake car key fobs, watches, glasses, clocks, lovable stuffed bears, smoke detectors

In the middle of summer where your shoes melt to the asphalt on the way to the entrance, the inside is frigid. EVERYONE there keeps a coat on their chair, some even wear mittens because its cold enough to cramp/give your fingers arthritis. The theory is that by constantly pumping in arctic air, the building owners can charge for more electricity.

I use and love this style. It in its own way is also noise-cancelling... Personally I find them very comfortable (mine use a 3-tier sealing plug)

Being urged and built by Hitler... Paving over known roman sites/ruins before full excavation.

Oh man, don't get me started on cooking meth...

I generally think of Unicode as UTF-16x - strictly 16bit non-encoded character position. Yes, I realize Unicode has expanded beyond 16 bits.

I wait a few releases before attempting an upgrade. Each and every time so far I've needed to submit new bug reports for anaconda. Now apparently since FC18 (I'm on 16, trying to skip to 19.. for a few days. Everything is broken :( ) the DVD image can no longer upgrade, but apparently writes a preloaded image for fresh install only. PITA!

One of my old work places had fancy glass doors with a touch bar to get out, badge swipe to get in. We used to keep a paperclip in the planter box by the door outside to stick through the gap and touch the bar with. It always opened.

I see you've never set up a WPA connection outside of a GUI. A hash is created from your SSID+Passphrase as the key.
