To be fair, the actions of many (not all) of the rich in this country have brought it on themselves. When the middle class is stagnant or declining, and the wealthy keep getting richer and richer, then the populist rhetoric will take root.

Set Windows 8 to boot to desktop and then install Classic Shell. Metro / Modern is now gone except for the occasional control panel which uses it.

This would be about as successful as the RT tablet. And it couldn't run Office without the desktop.

I love that stuff. The 404's playing their 808's, buzzing happily into oblivion.

People are funny. Probably most do not want to be recorded without their permission, but many of them will think of situations when they want to be the one silently recording. And some of those situations would actually be valid, recording

Games on iOS/Android which match or exceed SNES-era games are plentiful.[1] I'm not sure why this opinion persists. Mobile games have trash like Candy Crush, but SNES wasn't crap-free either. I don't have a lot of time f

"People are afraid of change, simple as that." There's one good thing about Windows 8: anyone who uses this phrase is now known to have absolutely no argument worthy of discussion. People rejected an interface which offered t

One of the things I love about Austen, her wit and great storytelling aside, is her insights into the regency society of the time. With Austen, for a modern reader, there's a lot to appreciate. Her books give a perspective on what life

I can understand it. In these days of constant public and private surveillance, some people want a haven and want it to be consistently safe. One of the great selling points of Linux is that it was such a haven. Linux was supposed to be one

Pretty to look at it but deeply impractical. Others have described the faults better than I could, so here's a couple of builders, who have houses actually in production, which beats this micro house in both price and practicality. Sco

For my last year of classes, I made something similar, though for a lower cost. I used http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/ to make a custom dot grid to accomodate my large handwriting, imported it into InDesign to creat

I did the same. And disks were a bit expensive to a kid like me, so I'd even do the cut on various game disks I had, since many of them were single side only, and it was like getting a free disk.

I don't know if those people were shills or not but the thing about the Win 8 boosters that surprised me was how angry many of them were or are. Someone would complain about the start screen or badly integrated metro apps and the choru

ImgBurn recently changed to an adware / crapware installer which is set for opt-out. However, the dev was nice enough to post instructions in his forum on how to de-crapify the installer.

This is true of my niece and her friends. When she was 11 and early 12, she was kinda obsessed with facebook, mainly because it was forbidden. But, now that she can get on it, she doesn't care much. Instagram, Snapchat, and sms are the

Fabrication is a bit amusing. This factory fabricates iPhones. vs. The fabricated iPhones came from this factory.

That might help now, though I suspect it won't help much, but at release, and for a long time afterwards, the Surface was $599.

You can't think of even one? I can give you several. I'm speaking primarily of the iOS market, specifically ipad versions since this is what I'm most familiar with, but many of these exist or will exist on Android as well. XC

It's reasonable to expect disabling javascript to have a negative effect upon a webpage which is performing some relatively complicated function. If I was running noscript, with no whitelist, and tried to use Google Calendar, I'd expect red

I think you're correct. If only corporations owned more of this country, there would be less pollution. After all, industry has always taken great care of their own land. Former industrial sites are often prized by their new owners because

I have JS enabled, don't use adblock, but I do use Ghostery. Quartz is the only site (that I've found) which blocks content because I block third-party tracking. I have no idea if this is by design.

The profs certainly can't make you get a certain book, but your assignments are often based on the questions in the book and therefore, to have a passing grade, you have to get the book one way or another. Many, if not most, profs in the US

A better option might using a service like UStream. Download their app, set your channel to private, and when you drive places, start your broadcast. I believe they automatically archive anything you livestream, so if something happens and

I've seen some Thinkpad X230's for sale this week for around 750-800. This is a little over your price range but, if you can save a bit extra, this is a great machine. Has an IPS screen which definitely has a great effect when you're starin

Would this work as a way of hiding? Write plainly. Put it into the Google translator to be converted to the language of your choice and then this is again translated back to English. Correct the individual words mistranslated but leave the

I've got an Asus Transformer with keyboard dock, purchased over the summer. Using it as a laptop, the thing has one major bonus: with a fully charged dock and a fully charged tablet, I can get around 10-12 hours of use. But in terms of prog

I've seen this problem too with Amazon, though only when I first got the Kindle a couple of years ago. I suspect those books date back to when publishers didn't take ebooks seriously. Now that they do, the formatting / spelling errors have

Thank you for the information. Very interesting article and different than how I had imagined the chain of command regarding nukes. I had always assumed it was US (or UK or France, depending on who owned the bombs) only.
