Like the famous US maglev train, and the amazing US manned space fleet? We get to see who p0wns the top 10 supercomputers tomorrow. China has more engineering graduates than the US has graduates, and real currency to back them up with.

Yup, things are regional. New Zealand fr'instance has loads of geothermal, lots of biomass and plenty of wind but no hamsters whatsoever.

And again. This guy says Samsung told him it came with the laptop. Dated 05-14-2010

And another one:

"I literally just bought a new Samsung r540, guess its going back to newegg

Scary

Oh yes there are, dating back to June last year at least. Look harder.

Uh, you're kidding? I take it you're not familiar with these things. Kids develop a design and then refine it based on observations on how the design behaves in the real world. Be it a biological model, an aircraft, a piece of scientific or medical equipment, or whatever. Pretty much parallels the scientific method even if they're just building pinewood derby cars.

I browsed around a bit and found this thread in a forum: http://www.pctools.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-66173.html

In which Bianca150 last year posted that they had discovered Stealth KeyLogger 5.0 on a brand new Samsung laptop but assumed it was legit because you could download it from CNET!

Coincidence or corroboration?

Teach the kids about 3D printing (see http://reprap.org/ maybe even get one of the cheap printer kits or an UP! Printer if you have budget.

These things let kids unleash a form of creativity and spatial learning that is hard to find anywhere else. No need to actually teach them how to design 3D objects - they'll be scrambling to figure it out for themselves! Keen students will print their own 3D printers. Less enthusiastic ones will download from http://thingiverse.com/ and create "Mash up" objects.

Inevitably one of them will print a penis for shock value, but kids are like that.

Seriously. There are a lot of deaf people and they won't take kindly to pre-paying for something they can't possibly use.

I'm a happy N900 owner. I can install real Linux apps on my phone and I don't have to root it or wait until the app store is supported in my country. I can run OpenOffice on my phone, and have no problems getting hold of codecs, VPN, VoIP clients, X apps etc. while I see Android owners waiting and waiting, or having to hack and root their machines to get unofficial versions of nagware installed etc.

Won't pretend it's the best choice for everybody, but Nokia has it right. Real Linux on a real smartphone.

Would be nice to see how it lands and is recovered. Parachute?

The short launch rail makes the drone look an awful lot like it was designed to be launched off a ship.
