Linux. S3 sleep doesn't work in Windows, for reasons I haven't bothered to figure out. I only use Windows to play games, so I never had reason to care that it didn't go to sleep.

The subreddit system did, in fact, save Reddit. It's not the a perfect answer to the Eternal September problem, but it's one of the best I've seen so far. AskScience is one of the best examples of the bunch, but there are many others. It's

Okay, let's use evidence. Anecdotal, but numerical. The current Mac Mini is supposed to pull between 10W (at idle) and 85W (at load---this is the limit of what the PSU can take from the wall.[0] Let's be generous and say that the Mac Mini,

Not to be a big nerd, but I couldn't help thinking of the Ted Leo + Pharmacists Song "Me and Mia" while reading this. Particularly the line: > Sick to death of my dependence, fighting food to find transcendence > Fighting to survive

You've been led to believe wrong, if you ask me (I know you didn't). History has always been a constant stream, but you're ability to sample it with a certain frequency diminishes as you "look" back into the past. The historical, archaeolog

Yeah, of course. I actually didn't even do comp sci at Wes—I was an anthropology major. So, there's that. And (also re: philco below) it's not so much that the CRC won't help you with getting a tech (or CRM/anthro/museum/etc.) job; it's j

Recent Wes grad, here. I think a lot of the lack-of-visibility is because of the Career Center's complete-and-utter-mindless-focus on placing folks into consulting, finance, or legal jobs. The Hollywood Mafia we've got operates almost entir

That's what I would have thought. Which leaves the question: what consumers do they think want these?

I'm really fairly confused: does Google, or any of the partner manufacturers, actually think these will sell at this price? Or maybe this is a bid for the enterprise? I'd imagine they're the only group for whom a completely managed laptop i

I understand the point behind this entirely. The Swiss Army Knife metaphor, however, is, in fact, a bad one, thought it seems all right initially. The key bit is this: "By combining many products of low utility, it [the knife] becomes a pr

Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. Insurance really drives this, too: HMOs, especially, are constantly pushing for GPs to receive less and less for a given procedure. Combined with the role insurance companies play in (effectively) deci

I'd like to add another point to this: in the case of doctors, you've also got to include the various types of doctors. (As the son of a general practitioner, I'm particularly sensitive about this.) General practitioners make wildly less

Apple's total software sales, which include but aren't limited to their cut of the App Store revenue, brought in $696 million this past quarter [1]. For comparison, their total hardware revenue was just under $28 billion [Ibid.]. Making s

Far Cry 2 really was a glorious experiment in immersion—for some it seemed to fail spectacularly, and for others (like you and I) it seemed to hit some nerve in just the right way. I play the game very similarly to you. Have you tried the s
