I have the Intel variant, as I understand it the fusion is a little bit worse. I compare it to various laptops from the likes of Samsung and Toshiba I've had. I'm not calling it the best in the world, just the best I've used. I like how eas

Can we please try and avoid the casual ageism? I'm 20 and I don't recognise my 19 year old self in that description. Further I know many people of all sorts of ages who switch to the latest 'cool' technology at the first opportunity.

Happy Birthday ThinkPad! Not a fan of their customer service, but my little X121e is the best laptop I've ever used.

Asking for: - Looking - Orientation - Gender And then, 'what do you intend to do with people' or similar wording on the next page. I realise it's all innocent, it just sets an odd tone.

I didn't flag it. I wouldn't have flagged this. However, if I were to guess why someone would, it is leaning towards falling foul of the "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic" and its possible someone was fed up of seeing

I'd argue this response was insufficient. I've always been taught that a clean wipe is the response to your box being rooted. At step 3 one should be thinking "I now know nothing about this box, what's installed? What's modified?" You can't

Lots of my peers who don't get this stuff don't get it because to them not physically assaulting the opposite sex comes naturally. They don't realise that others are very aggressive with it. You just have to remember with advances that when

This takes away no choice, I'm sure if you want to use old style init that'll be available too, you'll just sacrifice easier config, faster boot, better diagnostics, logging and profiling of boot.

If you hate onscreen keyboards, try Swiftkey, it genuinely is an amazing thing. It's practically psychic.

I'm not sure this is the issue you think it is. Games in the Humble Indie Bundle releases have Linux builds. (.tar.gz or .bin) I haven't had major issues beyond installing the libraries that I get prompted are missing. That could get automa

DLNA is sadly such a mess. I really wish it worked, I have my Windows 7 PC and I have my DLNA media server and I have a DLNA TV and I have a phone that does DLNA. You'd think my home would be full of interconnected multimedia, but it just.

People downvote you, including myself, because you're disrupting a thread by discussing the semantics of the word 'despised' in an impolite manner than brings nothing to the story. Being right or wrong has little bearing on what is a rude a

Oh, I agree. But I'd argue a working captcha is at least somewhat preferable to a broken poorly made one, even if they can both be trivially mechanically-turked. Sadly the only solution I can see to the overall 'Captchas are broken' problem
