i recently wanted a static gamin machine rather than using my laptop and eGPU, after a bit of research i found that you can get a lot of power for little cash if you buy a refurbished xeon workstation. i ended up going with a Thinkstation S

i cant really agree with this, unless youre a decision maker in the company and you disagree with how they do business just leave, its that simple. do we really want to live in a world where retailers will asses your moral stance before sel

as i say im somewhat biased (i currently have an X61, T420, X1C1, X1C6, P52s and a Thinkstation S20) there is a difference of opinion online but i personally think the glass touchpad on the X models is one of the best touchpads you can get,

they fail to note which versions/devices are vulnerable, i suspect this must use some sort of webkit jailbreak method which only works against a handful of vulnerable device/os combos (they may have an 0day which works against eve

not sure i agree with this: "Don't start using nicotine if you don't have a preexisting relationship with nicotine," why not? its been shown to be a very effective nootropic with little more side effects than caffeine, p

i have to ask what exactly draws you to them specifically? im not familiar with their OS but i assume its just a debian based linux. the systems themselves dont look particularly impressive if you ask me, the casing looks chunky and a bit d

by no means does it apply to everyone though, my nature means i tend to form short obsessions with things, at one point that interest turned to psychoactive chemicals. i have personally tried 5-MeO-DMT and a staggering number of other psych

Overwatch (and a few other games) its also kind of a social thing as i regularly play with my brother and sister in law who live at the other end of the country, its probably the closest ive ever come to enjoying a "sport" Electro

well the original was a horrible little device so i guess its only fitting that the new one packs a mediatek cpu to ensure its crappy too, somehow i dont think this will be the one to save HTC

i think you hit it on the nail, its the "experienced" bit that is the problem, if you look at a lot of the postings at leat here in the UK they will say things like "Min 3 years in a similar role" the problem is no one w
