Did it have to match those exact photos? I think he took a photo (or a few), used that (or those) to find the social media account(s). Then he could use whatever photos of that person he wanted to match up with a photo he had teken.

I print my occasional shipping label et al. at work (shh!), but did the same for my parents. I don't like Samsung with anything creative, but their simple black and white laser printers seem great and even have official Linux support.

There will be a non-touch option (a matte 1080p screen): "The i5 configuration will come with 8GB RAM, a 256GB SSD and FHD NT. The timing of the i5 config is dependent on the depletion of the current inventory on hand." From the

This also looks pretty similar to the pre-war Tatras — which I believe influenced the VW — and the communists didn't seize power in Czechoslovakia until their coup in 1948.

Strange – I'm reading this on my first gen Moto E. I see occasional lag, mostly in web content, but generally I think it works great.

Ah, of course not, since how can the default be set to the current time? I almost always install after booting to a full OS X system on an external hard drive (so NTP syncs the time), either via a downloaded installer or after logging in to

Still not known or obvious to many, but less cryptic than a terminal to most: reset the NVRAM (aka PRAM). Hold command-option-P-R keys until you hear the startup chime for a second time.

There are standard ways to write German when only the basic Latin/English alphabet is available, so "ss" for ß. Umluts get a following e: "ae" for ä. See, for example, KDE dev Martin Gräßlin's domain: https:&#

I like the idea of one personal computer, so as not to have to deal with syncing, but for this to work for me they'd need to offer a laptop dock, since I don't even have a desk at home to put a monitor on, not to mention the monit

I've not tried it personally, but I've read good things regarding Ubuntu's battery life on phones compared with Android. My understanding is that a lot of it is down to background apps being paused, like in iOS. I think the t

The Moto E at least supports moving "supported" apps to the SD card. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the Google apps. But I can squeeze in Firefox Beta, an epub reader, and the Google apps so I'm fine with the interna
