   Completely offtopic, but there are some black(ish) metal bands with great lyrics. Being a nerd, I am for example very partial to Vintersorg's album Cosmic Genesis (check out the song Algol ! [1]). (The singer, Andreas Hedlund, is actua

   That's because economic principles aren't scientific theories, they are political opinions (and weapons). That's why you have left-wing and right-wing economists, and a broad range of theories on how things work, but no agree

    To be honest, as a native French speaker I find it sometimes very hard to understand the French spoken by people from African countries. The same is true for deep countryside French accents, who tend to pronunciation words with different ph

    I'm curious about how you could tell English isn't his primary language. Are there any dead giveaways? Or is it something more subtle?

    That's probably the reason why I could never get used to a non-Lenovo laptop. I'm just way to much accustomed to the trackpoint.

    Anecdotal evidence. No manufacturer has a 0% defect rate. Still, the return rates (for some online retailers but they are probably generalizable) have shown that Intel and Samsung are your best options.
