It'd be neat to have presets in kvm just for this.

Agreed.

Trying to short change you, would imply underhanded tactics. ie, not giving back full change, for example, and hoping you'd not notice.. Haggling in the open as a counter offer, is hardly that.

I've been meaning to reply here, but just haven't had time. I apologise for not holding up my end, as you did take the time to research a few things. EG, wish I had time to find my data re: Toronto, and at least reply cogently.

IMO, this sort of thing is just as dangerous as any other type of radicalism. Take anything too far, and you cause immense damage to society. The formative years age just that. Disrupt that significantly, and the individual is forever lac

I love fresh broccoli, but as a Canuck, the closest I can get in the winter is often shipped from Mexico, or further away. While not a different variety like the apples you mention, the result is the same. Dull, flavourless, unpalatable.

People have lived in the artic at -50, and in the desert since recorded history. Lifestyles, and buildings were different, that's all. No need for modern tech.

All I keep seeing, is how rust is perfect for everything, will fix everything, should be everywhere, etc, etc. There's gotta be a profit motive involved. There must.

The "job" is really a team of Google researchers, trying to understand why no one calls back recruiters. By ignoring them, you become more and more interesting to them, and their study. Be wary. Soon they will stalk to IRL.

Yes, I've not seen docs pointing to any other way...

True but no one can secure anything. Therefore, the last thing I want is a network enabled car. I have my phone for that.

Never did I consider that puns could be turned against me as well.

Newer kindle formats require all sorts of work, and constantly change. I also need to keep a window vm around, it is as annoying as the kindle app. Thanks for the mention though, and I know calibre is quite convenient for some.

I wish I could somehow obscure your comment from everyone at Amazon. I use an e-ink tablet, Android stock, due to eye strain. The kindle app is such a bloated pile of ad laden junk, it is barely usable. Not only that, but it won't let

It's still shockingly wrong.

It seems to me like that's reasonable? Maybe California handles it better than some places/states? I wonder if the ability to seize and sell assets, plus hand-me-downs of ex-military equipment shift those numbers, compared to a

Well, they want punitive action against anyone doing the entirely legal, and correct thing by representing him, so they didn't want him having a fair day in court... Again, laws don't matter... the truth doesn't matter, have

Wow, considering how that trial ended up, with the women involved lying, colluding together on testimony, interacting with him after events, on and on... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Jian_Ghomeshi Well, it

Maybe, but, I figure it will be things everyone feels OK with. Meaning, if you can think of "what's wrong" today, you're already off base...

Yes for 30+ years. But not the average consumer.

by bbarnett 5y ago
I believe this is the wrong way to put it. Personal computing never existed for the average consumer. The computing market was filled with hobbiests, specialists, and those needing a computer for some task. EG, authors typing manuscripts

The parallel is more striking than your post suggests. Experts Exchange had no paywall for years. Endless people built the site up, provided help, then suddenly? All their posts, content, and more were one day monetized, and locked away.

And now, they can compete with Linkedin! First, buy a site with 14 million+ accounts, all guaranteed to be developers of some sort. It even has a job board apparently, already! Next, bring in synergy. Mine the data to find out who does wh

Why do you have to start somewhere? Why is it a requirement to have eID? Because we can is not a reason. This is the same reason we have global warming. We can build gas burning cars, so we should, without thinking of the consequences. Of

And there you have it ; risks. No one on the planet has been able to ever, and I mean ever, lock down data when connected to the internet, from hacking. Ever. If you have not been hacked when specifically targeted, it only means your data

I still don't get Walmart. So much fiscal might, so much capability to expand into full, well thought out, competitive online experience, yet they're barely competitive. It's almost like the Walmart family thinks this online
