Won't be able to make it. Hopefully this will lead to more meetups though.

I thought the original question was whether physical keyboards would still exist.

Why not just use one of the terms that already in our daily vocabulary like: Cell or Mobile.

This sounds almost exactly like the "Why Desktop Linux (Still) Sucks. And What We Can Do To Fix It." video http://blip.tv/file/3538476/ I think if developers just followed jmillikin's post there could be a big step forward in Linux develo

I would even go so far as to say that Linux users might even be more forgiving than a mac or a windows user to issues like this.

I think your logic depends on your definition of atheist. Taking the word apart it simply means without a theology. Substituting in the definition of theology we get "without a particular system or school of religious beliefs and teachings.

I still miss bookmark tagging from FF. In fact, I often keep a FF window open just so I can keep my bookmarks organized with tags.

How do I know when to use microdata, microformats, or RDFa?

I completely disagree. I use Linux because of how well it works and would gladly pay money for it, and I think most long term Linux users stick with it because of how well it works. In fact, most Linux users I know purchased a computer with

Does Randall realize the power he has? If he wants something to be made or done, all he has to do is post a drawing of his idea, and someone brings it to life.

When will Ubuntu get an integrated backup solution? Sure rsync combined with cron works, but it keeps it out of reach for your average user (or even your lazy one).

I'm cheap so I would simply use it for an embarrassingly parallel problem. I'd personally have the most fun with ray tracing or brute force cracking.

It works well until you have things that don't just fit in one bin. The folder metaphor has worked fine for me until I started getting enough files that they were harder to find. (Is that song in my blues folder or jazz? Is that photo in th

I think you've addressed something pretty important. There is a difference between where something is stored and what is being stored. My issue with the folder metaphor is that it assumes those two are related when it reality they can be co

There's an intro article on this on Hackaday as well http://hackaday.com/2010/01/26/why-arent-we-building-our-own... With all the excitement around 3D printers, it would be nice to see something similar in 2D or at least a combination.
