Yes, you could even have a version of the power brick embedded in a wall plate or in the desk, though if you go that far, you probably should include GbEthernet in the same plug for high-current PoE.
In fact, a global standard high-power PoE with signal, DC+/- and Earth terminals would be rather nice!
invading Earth for our water O_o could have saved themselves a lot of bother.
(Of course they could have harvested direct from the Oort cloud too).

Hmmm, maybe global warming /is/ a myth and the real reason sea levels are rising by a few mm a year is the Aliens have found an alternate source!
I signed up for all three. Not with my real identities of course! I'm not a complete zonk!
Only use twitter for work (make work-related announcements to students).
Left FB from general boredom with it.
Never officially closed my SL account, but only use OSS VR environments these days (and not for social things, generally).
Once AIs can predict everything people will do on FaceBook, they can be left to it to and people can get back to with doing something useful.
For efficiency, we can house the AIs on racks interleaved with the racks housing the FaceBook servers in one big bunker on the back-side of the moon, along with office space for all the data miners and ad-men.
Then fill it all up with quick-set concrete.
Its the only way to be sure!
If it doen't come up on MacOS immediately without extra drivers, I would strongly assume it wouldn't be any different on Linux. It wouldn't be the first or second drives from a major drive manufacturer (WD, Segate, both) have some some funky custom chipery that /isn't/ industry standard and requires special drivers (though at at least in this case - unlike the two previous I alluded to -- they might actually have an excuse this time!).
I alway know when it is time to spider-bomb mum's back shed for red-backs because of all the sucked-dry skink (small type of lizard) carcases littered around the corners of the space. Hungry little critters, and while a single red-back bite won't necessarily take you out, they often like to live in communes, so getting bitten by just one is less iikely. Just looking where you are sticking your bare body parts before sticking them there is generally a good enough strategy for dealing with most Aussie crawlies, though
They are obviously relying on most of their corporate-purchase customers not being aware of DealXtreme!
(To be fair, stuff shipped from the far North* generally doesn't come with the sort of support contracts that Dell Corporate offers).
* far East? That's New Zealand isn't it?
