Received mine yesterday and loaded up Tales of Zesteria. It works pretty much flawlessly for me and I'm super happy with it. I have no illusions that I'm going to be playing the latest Fallout 4 with it, but I have a strong tende

desktops simply stopped being used in situations where laptops were the better choice, but they were never in danger of ever being displaced by anything. Most of those people who have laptops either have desktops at home or have a docking s

I don't have any citations, I just remember reading about Newmark getting sued for something related to profits and him going on record as saying profits weren't the main motivating factor for craigslist. I could be misremembering

I lock my cats up at night for exactly this reason. I've tried and tried to get them to leave me alone at night and they won't, so they get locked into one of the bathrooms at night. I don't necessarily like doing that, but

You hire an extremely smart, talented individual with some ramp up time, or pass on them for someone less talented (and less smart?) with less ramp up time. I can't speak to your current needs when hiring someone, but you're mista
