   I can't imagine a worse idea for a system used for business than a Hackintosh. Does the thought process really go like this: "Hey, let me load totally un-trusted, un-signed drivers onto a system that's not licensed to run the

   I used to love Lenovo - I had a T40, T60, T420s, T440, and a T460. Each one, in the first year I had them, were awful with Linux, but over time they got better. Under Linux, no Lenovo matched the battery life, screen quality, build quality,

   What do you need 32GB for? Not saying you don't, but what's the use case vs. using someone else's cloud machine in a datacenter?

   There's a wide range of scaled resolutions with the retina MBPs. I usually go somewhere in the middle to high resolution space. My brain can't handle the jaggies I see when I use my MacBook Air 13" now.

   Why would they scuttle it? They'll give a few token concessions and continue to screw consumers. The only way to win in this game is to invest in these monopolies.

   When the $200 phone bursts into flames, are you able to sue the Chinese manufacturer for damages? When your $200 phone breaks, do you have to simply buy a new one rather than get it replaced? When there are security holes in your $200 phone

    Suddenly it's my job to bring everyone else up to speed on what happened in their off hours? I have a job to do. Slack and Rocket.Chat (and matrix and ...) both solve that problem and a lot of others without the legacy bullshit that IR

    For you. What about the millions of nontechnical people that need an open communication platform? We use IRC at my employer, and the complexity of getting a bouncer set up means that for cross time zone teams, most people miss any conversat

    Did you capture memory core dumps from those random freezes to reliably pinpoint systemd as the source of the issue, and not the more likely culprit of hardware?

    Nope, not physical addiction like with tobacco. There are many addictive things in tobacco products, but nicotine is not one of those.

    Note, for big purchases you can't actually comparison shop VARs due to something called deal registration. Basically the reseller tells the vendor about the deal, and is protected by the vendor not letting anyone quote a lower price.

    This is why, if you're a small company unable to have a direct, strategic, named Dell sales relationship, you buy from Dell through a reseller. ALWAYS USE A RESELLER. The reseller has the strategic relationship, they'll go to bat

    thanks! That's interesting that you took such a hit from having your loans paid off. I know that has an effect, but that totally dropped you out of prime territory. When shopping for your mortgage, you may want to see smaller mortgage

    I'm curious what the credit score would be of a fiscally-responsible 30 year old with no credit cards. Care to share a ballpark, if you know?

    My wife and I fit into that age bracket, and we also exclusively use credit cards for purchases anywhere we can. Just this morning, on a rarely used card, someone used the card and in about 10 minutes and a few purchases ran up to the limit

    A responsible enterprise shouldn't be basing production deployments on package repositories that can get yanked. Mirror that shit if you want to keep making money.

    The reinsurers give a shit about profiles about individual policyholders on the consumer level? I just can't see how that level of effort makes sense on that scale.
