   This is true with Google, as well. Yes, my earlier comment was about setting up a domain on mailinabox. That said, for my business? I use G Suite. For everything. I pay. No ads. No privacy concerns. It just works. I keep backups, but in ~13

   I saw this question, and was nervous about expressing my true thoughts about it. I was afraid I'd be the outlier in thinking that most modern "journalism" is pitiful, and just a spin machine. Thankfully, others seem to share

   I have a pretty umm... interesting... history. MANY folks were a good influence in my life. My hope in my particular venue of volunteer work is to help affect some of the same change in the lives of others. It's most definitely rewar

   Volunteering has helped me to better understand there's more to life than money. I knew it already, academically. But having the opportunity to actually do it... it made the idea more real, more concrete.

    THIS. Cannot agree enough. People do not care what platform you write on. They don't come to critique the technicalites of your site. You do. People that take the time to come to your site, they want to read your content. Period. You c

    Assume the worst, that they will share every last detail with {any,every}one. Can you live with that? will it jeopardize your side income at all? Proceed accordingly.

    It's still the Windows kernel. No Linux kernel here. Just Linux userspace. The name may not sound good, but it's technically accurate. :)

    I pay for a RH support contract... and it's a ripoff, if you ask me. Unless you're a MASSIVE company spending MASSIVE dollars... response time is slow. The turnaround time for a simple issue was like one question and one answer ev

    Why can't regular folks seem to get in on an IPO? (Admittedly, I don't understand how all the stock stuff works. It just seems like only big investment firms are the ones that are able to do initial investments.)

    Can you elaborate on what you mean by "mobile learning"? Do you mean development for mobile as a platform? Do you mean the ability to learn on the move? Something else entirely?

    I just made the switch from macOS back to Windows. (after being a Mac user for ~14 years.) If you're a power user, stick with Windows. My general feeling is that Apple prioritizes thin and light over what is important to most power use

    I had that firmware update. The one that was supposed to fix it "for good". Mine wasn't fixed, at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Definitely no arguments on the Mac stuff though... (as I type from my shiny new Dell XPS)

    It's not "Mac works" and "Windows doesn't work" or vice versa. They both have issues, regularly, and often trade places being worse. They BOTH suck. It's a matter of what issues you feel comfortable dealin
