Hmmm

The Clevo 651se is rebadged by lots of companies. All the hardware has worked fine with the drivers that came with Fedora 21. The only slight pain was getting the Nvidia drivers but, in the end, I found some BumbleBee rpms that bundled the drivers.

Everything feels cheaper than the Apple laptops but it all works well enough. I've had it for 6 months and nothing's broken yet. The back of the screen is worryingly bendy plastic and the backlit keyboard is literally a light behind a normal keyboard so you won't be able to read the keycaps in the dark. Also all the keys are the same size so it is hard to find the arrow keys reliably.

All the special function keys worked out of the box (Volume up/down, aeroplane mode etc).

If the built in HD display is not enough you can plug in 2 4K external monitors, however if you choose to run all 3 screens you'll have scaling issues until your chosen distro moves over to Wayland(or Mir?). Fedora are hoping to change over next year.

Corporation tax is substantially higher in the US than it is in the UK(http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2011/feb/21/corporation-tax-rates-world). On the other hand the Silicon Roundabout is a quick walk away from one of the biggest financial centers in the world, where there are billions of pounds waiting ot be invested...

Two of the lowest corporation tax rates are Ireland and Iceland, whose populations are making huge sacrifices in order to keep those rates low. I haven't noticed any global tech companies emerge from either country recently, but I'm sure you're right.

Everyone is different and has different circumstances and needs. The UK has seen 2 attempts to implement a simple catchall tax and both have resulted in violent protests and government U-turns. Taxation ends up being complicated because it has to be seen to be fair. Every new tax has to have exceptions and get-outs and that makes it complicated.
    There are 300 million separate cases in the US to take into account, not 100.

Professional DMX connectors have 5 pin connectors, not 3 pin.

Another great long take, and a nice (almost) recursive joke, is the opening to Robert Altman's The Player. The shot moves around a film lot in Hollywood occasionally focusing on two guys walking to work discussing great long takes in movie openings.

The Wellcome Trust are a huge biomedical research charity. I would imagine that they are looking for processing power(think folding@home type projects) rather than the ability to serve up millions of webpages. If so bandwidth will be less of a concern than cheap reliable power and cooling. Iceland is looking to join the European Union so their Data Protection legislation is probably similar to rest of the EU's.

This may surprise you, but the problem of updating charts has been encountered before. And solved. In the early nineteenth century by Admiral Beaufort. The Hydrographic Office issues weekly 'Notices to Mariners' which list the changes to be made to charts. These include shifting sandbanks, new navigational bouys, new survey data and yes, new wind turbines. As far as navigation is concerned it's not a new island it's a new wind turbine. If the captain was unsure of his position the sight of one (and it would be visible at some distance) would give a clue as to his position.

Most of the time the green background behind the comment titles is missing on Safari 3.2.3. And yes I do realise that using the OS bundled browser to read Slashdot is Not the Done Thing, I'm just very lazy.

Yes they do. Travelling on motorways in the cab of an HGV at 56mph is a surreal experience. Everything happens very slowly. If an empty, powerful truck finds itself behind a weak, full truck going up hill it'll still overtake so 2 of the 3 motorway lanes become slow lanes. You do find them overtaking each other on the flat, usually because one limiter is set slightly higher than another.
