I'm referring to the laptop version. I guess the battery, hinges, keyboard, and trackpad fetch a premium. I don't think the CEED is as appealing as the laptop version (which is probably why it is priced competitively). Yes, the

It just seems expensive to me. I know R&D costs money and it comes with an educational operating system, but the website doesn't really sell me on why it's worth $300 as opposed to $200 (a price point at which I would buy two

I would like the ability to collapse comment trees at my own discretion (not have it already auto-collapsed based on votes like others suggest or as seen on Reddit). If the top comment is about a sub-topic that I'm not interested in, a

In one of the screenshots, it shows how many people are "following" an employee. This is reminiscent of Enron's peer-evaluation process commonly referred to as "rank and yank". Since employee evaluations were base

The problem is, with just one hydroelectric dam, others will want it. Thus others will fight you for it, and in the process, it will be destroyed or the people that know how to maintain it will be killed.

For some people, no. I tried to cover several different bases, but you get the idea: ask sensitive personal questions. Maybe the money one should be about credit card debt.

Someone who pushes the "nothing to hide" argument probably wouldn't understand the implication of your response. I suggest a different approach: say "Okay, in that case what prescriptions are you taking, how much money

I do as well. Even since I was a kid, wearing watches on the wrist of my non-dominant hand felt unnatural. I have no problem manipulating the strap or buttons on my watches.

Personally, I think it's the opposite. I wear my watch on the wrist of my dominant hand. I've never had a problem; in fact I think you are more likely to pay attention to it and not smack it into things.

Former marine engineer here. Not really. Usually a tech rep sails with the ship to work out any kinks. In this instance, this isn't something you can work out at sea. A ship I was on had its shafts pulled during a dry dock evolution

I was using the desktop version on Opera on an Android tablet at that time. I've never accidentally opened links while scrolling before, so I highly doubt that is what caused it. Even so, how would that cause me to "like" it

They probably don't require your Social Security Number. I've avoided giving mine out by paying a deposit to my cable internet company, my electric company, and I use prepaid (which is cheaper than post-paid for the same service)

Doing your own chores helps keep you grounded. I've worked with many rich (effectively making $1,000+/hr) people who think that they're above others. My theory is once they start paying people to live a majority of their li

I have a 10 year old desktop that cost $1,000 to build back then (1.5 GB of RAM, a 74 GB 10k RPM HDD, a 2 GHz 64bit AMD CPU, a 128 MB dedicated video card, Gigabyte motherboard, and Centurion case) that runs Windows 8 and Adobe Photoshop CS
