A notebook

Novena's coming.
Но всё веселье в последнем параграфе:
As for the inevitable question about if these will be sold, and for how much…once we’re done building the system (and, “done” is a moving target — really, the whole idea is this is continuously under development and improving) I’ll make it available to qualified buyers. Because it’s open-source and a bit quirky, I’m shy on the idea of just selling it to anyone who comes along wanting a laptop. I’m worried about buyers who don’t understand that “open” also means a bit of DIY hacking to get things working, and that things are continuously under development. This could either lead to a lot of returns, or spending the next four years mired in basic customer support instead of doing development; neither option appeals to me. So, I’m thinking that the order inquiry form will be a python or javascript program that has to be correctly modified and submitted via github; or maybe I’ll just sell the kit of components, as this would target buyers who know what they are getting into, and can RTFM. And probably, it will be priced in accordance with what you’d expect to pay for a bespoke digital oscilloscope meant to take a position at the lab bench for years, and not a generic craptop that you’ll replace within a year. Think “heirloom laptop”.
Одним словом, "Если ты настолько глуп, что не можешь взломать машину и самостоятельно зарегистрироваться, тебе нечего делать в моей системе. В этом ящике и так слишком много придурков" (c)

Спутник взлетает. Первая ступень отработала.

 И, кажется, неплохо: Посмотрим, что будет когда отработает вторая.
