Good. Compute engine is crazy fast because all of the hardware isn't over allocated. Go ahead and use Amazon, I hear good things. :-)

Companies don't pay overtime. Those numbers cited would never happen. Instead, employees would simply lose the freedoms they enjoy now to work hours that suit them or spend company time learning. I was hourly once because my company wa

Bah, get yourself some roommates and enjoy the ride of a lifetime.

Well, one reason: because if we had the freedom to use any ebook reader we wanted, then we wouldn't have to rely on Adobe spyware. DRM prevents that.

Dude, I'd love to get Google Fiber even if I had to wait for it. Get cable installed, make sure there's no contract and wait. There's a lot of stuff they have to build first and those of us stuck with crappy cable service wil

Yes, absolutely. You are safer not saying anything.

Karma. They aren't the first to learn that they can't keep treating their customers poorly forever. Customers find alternatives. Word gets around. I have had a Sony TV with a well-known defect that they continued making for years,

So, years ago I felt trapped by the success I had built to that point. But I also felt that it was all meaningless and I wanted to something more important. I needed a mission. I gave up everything to go pursue that goal. (It turned out tha

Yesh, I recognize some of the thinking in this post, and trust me, you're going about it all wrong. Until you figure yourself out, you're not going to make meaningful relationships or be happy in them. You need to find what define

I am also the odd one out, also with a System76 laptop. :-) You might try Cinnamon for a DE. I've found that it's not the same if you install the Ubuntu packages, it's best when packaged with Mint. But I bet you'll like

Out of the box it is not great, but it can be tweaked to get more. Mine is plugged in most of the time, so it's not a big deal for me (and is still much more than I get on most PCs).

I'm not sure about the cntl-click. A Google shows a bunch of different options that may work but can't check them out today. But for scrolling you might try the advice here: http://linuxg.net/enable-horizontal-and-

I just got a 13'' MBP and put Linux on it. The hardware is great and well supported, but you'll still have a bit of a hard time getting the boot in order. I tried to fully wipe out the OSX partition, which I ended up reinstal

My neck would never forgive me if I spent even an hour at a setup like that. How do you deal with craning your neck all day long?

My work laptop is a Macbook Pro 13'' also running Linux, so I feel like I can compare them. :-) I maxed out a Darter. I am happy with it and it was much cheaper than a comparable featured Macbook. It is crazy fast and I was happy

I wouldn't risk the pain. You'll have to do a fair bit of research to figure out how easily Linux can be setup on a given laptop, and if you'll have to deal with the UEFI secure boot madness or not. I just got a laptop from s

Heh, well that's the point of the LTS release. It gets security updates and patches, but those releases are not designed to stay current. If you want current software, don't run old releases.

Funny, the course I am in right now covers this book. It is well worth the read. Cialdini, R. B. (2009). Influence: science and practice (5th ed.). Boston: Pearson Education.

If I met IE in a dark alley, I would reach for a shiv. Not a shim.

Haha, thanks for that. I had the same thoughts reading TFA. I'd also add 7) Learn how to fight without holding back reserves. Fight with everything.

I only pointed out that there is more danger for people with publicly available printers than just getting random junk printed. You are jumping to conclusions.

Worse than printing somewhere remote, many of those are probably also scanners. If the original is left on the glass (I forget it all the time), an attacker could scan it remotely.

The amazing thing is how much memory the app can take up. Forget the UX issues, it is urgent to fix the outrageous memory usage first. For example, my old phone had just about 100M available for user apps. Facebook uses about 121M. That's e

Except Godaddy regularly shuts down domains that they don't like. Yet in this case they continue to host it. Once they started playing content cop, they lost that defense.

You all are being unfair. Whatever you think of the settlement, Microsoft agreed to these terms. Then it simply stopped abiding by the agreement. Microsoft is clearly in the wrong here.

It's obvious that making changes to the set-up in the second pictures will take less time than modifying the first picture's set-up. I'm not so sure. I had to snake a single bad cable out once and redoing all the pretty bundles too

My home screens also have widgets to show the weather, books I'm reading, control various power options, media controls, etc. It's not just a grid of apps, there is much more possible on the Android home.
