thinkpad T420 user here running archlinux. i agree with none of these points, actually, except #1, which i wouldn't know about because i'm not using dual-mode graphics card. "2. inability to use multiple monitors" < incorrect. i use a d

been using arch for a while and have always wondered whether there's a good utility to grab a .deb package and install it (including all the dependencies -- from AUR, when possible)?

it's very possible that gimp might not be able to cut it for a lot of creative professionals, especially if they already have a lot of process and money invested in the adobe stack. it's definitely my experience that a lot of more of my pro

I disagree. The fact that ATT unlocked my Galaxy S2 last November for me without hesitation when I told them I would be out of the country 3 months each year says otherwise. Even last year, with my iPhone4 they wouldn't do this for me. ATT

things may be better now. the trip to london I was speaking about was with a 3GS in 2009-2010, and at that point the (sole) carrier in the US (ATT) apparently couldn't offer unlocked service. i could have unlocked it myself and voided the w

In my experience, Apple actually made this process of "global roaming" worse, not better. Case in point: I spend about 2 months a year in Japan and a month in London. I live in the US and have a plan through ATT. I used to have an iPhone 3g

if you don't mind having a 10-key you can get a realforce 103 for $235 from elite keyboards. The switches supposedly have a 30 million press lifecycle, significantly higher than most keyboards, so it should last many years. I bought both an

I thought this for a while as well, but I wouldn't put it past manufacturers to have done some comprehensive testing before just moving to island-style keyboards. I prefer the thinkpad keyboards myself and use a mechanical keyboard on my de

Thinkpad already has both problems solved. Getting 12-14 hours on my thinkpad T420 with a 9 cell and a power script written to make all the items found "bad" by powertop2 turn to "good". Switched from x220 (which was getting roughly the sam

not sure that C# is the answer either, given that microsoft is trying to build a nest in the mobile space. that said, nice work. poses an interesting question though: if google had to or wanted to switch platforms/languages, which might the

Interesting that the OP of this poll wrote this at the top of his last poll post: "(Please be sure to also vote this poll up as well as vote for a choice; voting for a choice doesn't up vote the poll!)" I don't care about the karma from pol
