If hollywood can be special because their jobs and compensations are different, why couldn't the tech industry be different?

On the other hand, i've started using them more for DNS because the one time I forgot my password (typo in password manager I think) they made it very difficult for me to reset it, asked for pieces of ID, phone number registered in my

If this was at work, or if this was for every class at a given university, I'd agree with you. But, in a place where you go to be challenged intellectually and open your mind, why not? This would be perfect if the same professor forces

I find plaingnome on top of Ubuntu not needing any feeling. My kids grew up on that and were really confused and found it hard when they had to use Windows and OSX in school. I, for one, cannot get my head around the OSX UI, I find it impos

Yes, in that sense Wikipedia is one of the greatest human achievement. I wish it had been around when I grew up!

I disagree, reading speed at full comprehension level can slow you down and accelerate everything you do. I'm an extremely slow reader and that has been a major bottleneck in my life, it has slowed me down in everything I do and everyt

Mine was unusable until I installed Android, at which point I bought an Android phone a quarter of the thickness and mass, and better screen resolution (and likely better radios as well). I too bought it because I thought I'd hack arou

For which cancers does this procedure work (assuming your wife didn't have prostate cancer)? I understand 25 k USD feels reasonable if it saves your life without surgery and it's complications, but it steep for "just ultraso

I have been pronouncing it Askinnema in my head, because that's how people pronounce ASCII, and I then just added the suffix in what is the most natural way to say it for me - I'm ESL though.

What if you're into houses, you don't have a car, don't have a computer, you spend all your money on a nice house. Why should you pay more local taxes than people who pay one-time taxes on stuff (computers, music, clothing#?

Consumption tax are paid once. Property tax are every year! If you put that money in the bank, you'd only pay taxes on the cap gain, not on the capital itself.

I don't want thinner, but I want the 13 inch form factor. I could change the memory, the HDD and the keyboard by removing a single screw on my old x220, and with zero risk of breaking little plastic legs.

For a desktop on the other hand, this is great. People are used to having their phone constantly upgrading automatically, which make it hard to explain to non-technical users why they need to `apt upgrade` regularly.

"Few people are paying for Ubuntu" I have never understood their paid support tier pricing model. They should have offered a low cost email only support, say with a 24 or 48 hour turn around policy and could have gain many enthusi
