20 min per DAY? And a $700 battery? To hell with that, I'll slap a Duralast in the trunk and wire the damned thing up. But then again, I am not buying BMWs...

Obviously, many people would like to know why this is being done, if not for matters of convenience, for curiosity.

Shut up and take my money. This is what I've been dreaming of since I got my smartphone. Why should I even have a netbook for general purpose computing? I want to go anywhere with my MID (mobile internet device).

Debian (Stable and Testing) are running GNOME 2. My issues with Unity, as of Unity 5 (in Ubuntu 12.04): 1) Alt-tab should switch between windows within a workspace. This is HUGE. What is the point of workspaces if your navigation buttons/ap

As a bonus to my upvote, I want to be clear: This is a great read. It inspires people to learn algorithms, know how to back up your assertions, and be confident with an interviewer.

I guess they don't believe in competing on quality, or time to market, or price, or novelty, or any of the traditional methods of standing out in a free market.

Well, of course, that would change the meaning. He can be so terse with words because many of us can fill in the blanks that these bosses have the wrong attitude about things.

Don't be pacified into thinking an updated SOPA is not that bad for America. It's a useless bill pushed by the most despicable, law-breaking organizations in media. It's unnecessary in any form. In practical terms, I hope DNS blocking becom

So many people text below the windshield level. How will someone prove that I was texting at a certain time? Some cop will say he thought he saw me texting and demand my phone records. And the original point of my post is that to ban textin

It's just another regulation that is impossible to enforce consistently without invasions into one's privacy. We really don't have many "rights". Most "rights" people talk about are priviledges, like health care, schools, a job, etc. The r

Writing a letter, is much more personal than sending email or texting. It means you've taken time out of your day to sit down, plan out your thoughts, put them in a package and pay to have it shipped to someone personally. Or how a cheap, t

The authority we grant to the government to make laws that regulate financial markets, currencies, and (you wish) campaign contributions gives them the authority to make bullshit laws sponsored by the RIAA. A public that isn't engaged with

Frank discussion on the failure of powerful central government in America is appropriate when it's central to the topic that is posted. The fact that the US government did this, for a year, without any backlash, is a symbol of how far gone

Someday, perhaps populists and socialists will realize that the very structure of American government combined with our culture leads to complete incompetence in government. We are better off with every power we take away from them.

I'm not quite sure what you mean (though I'm not arguing). I set up my own DNS manually. Create a rackspace cloud server, grab that IP and use it in an A record on name.com.

name.com has been pretty good for me for the past few months. Very easy to use. Also: Don't get a .com/.net domain name. You don't want the US government declaring your domain to be evil and taking it off the 'net.
