No wonder MS has still tons of unsold tablets in stock. I would buy the device in a hart-beat if it were much cheaper, and if a clear way of wiping the current OS and putting Linux and subsequently Android on it would exist.

Nice! I want to get a hold of this prototype! The only two questions that I have is does it have an audio port and can they make it a color e-ink device for the same amount of battery consumption? (I don't know about this particular one, but my Nook Simple Touch lasts me one month on one charge and I use it every day.)

Sorry but it seems to me the MsOffice has been first neutered when they went into mandatory ribbon interface making it quite unusable.

If it is replacement for paper, a regular e-ink device that is modded to be a little more than just an e-reader does a hell of a job, like for example Nook Simple Touch.

A Freudian slip , also called parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of an unconscious ("dynamically repressed") subdued wish, conflict, or train of thought guided by the super-ego and the rules of correct behaviour. *cough* *cough*

LMAO I would think RUSSIAN would be the very first language the proxy would support... if not written in.

"Committee on Family, Women and Children" was a standard Soviet pressure-tool for dissimination of propaganda and criticism of NATO nations at any convenience. See also "Committee of Peace".

I even tried KOI-8R -- it does not work.

I think it is because you can get so many "interesting" symbols from a standard unicode table to represent almost anything, but than again -- Slashdot was never censored.

I agree. To prohibit such speech, they have to implement Censorship. it is an excuse to take away even more liberty.
(Po russki is more eloquant (sorry Slashdot won't allow cyrillics) -- Etot nakaz ne ot blyat' s Dubi a ot sutenyerov s Kremlya.

Snowden probably does not know yet, but Russians are very much interested in American government secrets. He just might find himself on a fourth floor of Lyubyanka, in a padded room without windows (Lyubyanka is former KGB headquaters, now FSB, did not have a basement jail).

You probably trolling. But just in case you are simply naive or stupid, please remember that Russians care a lot less than American government about what they can force or can not force him to accept, much less than American government.

Must disagree. Movie -- maybe was too bad to tie up a plot, which made some scenes and themes irrelevant while others were elevated to primary (and much of the book plot was somewhat changed), but anyone who read Zhivago would recognize that Pasternak wrote a great book with a solid plot comparative to Tolstoy's epic War and Peace. But than again, movies sometimes distort books.

This cartoon was written by Moore and produced by Harold Moss. Not by Trey Parker / Matt Stone. There was a whole stink about it from them because Moore made it appear as though it is by the South Park creators. It was not done by them.

Has anyone ever thought that the Oracle might be evil?

This technology does not do good enough translation because the output is a gibberish. Someone who is a native Spanish speaker would be able to tell exactly what "because water falls "jaja"" means. Direct and indirect meanings, whatever it might mean.
1. The speaker could be talking about a waterfall
2. The speaker could be talking about a play
3. The speaker could be hinting on something sexual.

In this small context we do not know, especially since "jaja" is not in a standard dictionary but most likely is a cultural reference, and pneumatically we can only guess what it means. (btw, could it be jojo and the guy than saying that water falls up and down?)
and yes I agree with the poster above -- you are being a troll here.
