This is the first I hear about this. What really sets this apart from any of the other Android tablets on the market (besides the keyboard of course)?

This bears some semblance to the Surface Pro tablets, which of course are more expensive, but x86 and less restrictive for it. Is this attempting to compete with a Surface Pro? If so, how does it compare in a business/school environment?

I am a non-American user, and I really wasn't feeling it. I'm at the point where these things are just side notes in my life, if that.

I don't know how others feel, but to me terrorism's power doesn't come from the ability to kill, any idiot can claim lives, the power comes from instigating a reaction. When we overreact (cough 9/11 cough) we aren't just 'giving the attacker what they wanted', we are creating exactly what we are supposed to.

Yes it's tragic when there's a disaster of any kind, whether due to malicious intent or not. What we need to do is basic emergency response (help the people, look for the cause of the incident, etc.), rebuild, and move on. Defiant. Strong.

We have one of these, so now that you've heard all of the good parts, here the bad parts:

• The hose is large, awkward, and a pain to store. Edit: newer systems apparently have retractable hoses.

• If you break one of the outlet covers, your entire system loses suction.

• It's expensive, and difficult to install. I don't know what it would cost to have one professionally installed. I don't even know how to install one in a two story house.

All in all, I would just get a standalone vacuum. The ability to vacuum the car with it is also very handy.

I have a Dyson. I suck up bolts and shit with it. It may not have the best filter, but it does it's job decently well. I'm not going to deny that we overpaid for it.

This is a simple question: how significant has the temperature change been?

Every graph I've seen has a frightening slope, until you realize that the scale is only a few degrees celcius. This room is about 19 degrees celcius now, and my cactus is fine, I'm fine. If it goes up to 30, we'll both still be fine (cactus is a bad example, because they're stubborn SOBs, but we killed our other plants because we forget to water them), and a change of 10 degrees is far more significant than a change of two or three degrees.

I'd like to better understand some of the science about climate change, is it that the global average temperature doesn't change as much as individual climates, are these small changes more significant than they seem?
