   I'm the other way around. 10 years ago I was quite happy configuring every little bit to pieces, spending days to get X11 to work properly with some weird graphics card. Now, I enjoy being able to install the (Linux) OS on a new laptop, and

    I like the sentiment, but a little bit over the top. According to this, there really isn't a single situation in which you should stay at your current job. "If your manager is trying to make you stay, they aren’t a good manager – leave." If

    Nice idea, but results I get from a quick search seem to be more suitable for a dating website.. "24, male, 5.9ft, dark hair, brown eyes.", "I'm a good guy". Anyone actually found a co-founder through this website?

    and that's the whole point! I don't agree with this either, but it's only happening because the MPAA did it first. And they're supposed to be the "good guys". If/when this hits mainstream media, I think this is the important thing to point

    While I enjoy bashing big corporations as the next guy, this isn't really a Google problem. If you're on the internet, your information will always be available to someone. On the internets, as in real life, this power can be abused. Apprec
