   The built-in ethernet is the biggest selling point for me. My work often requires me to plug into various devices via wired ethernet and it's almost guaranteed I would forget/lose an adapter one day. If the 2008 macbook I've

   I'm not sure this is still the case. I can recall it happening a long time ago but have not noticed it recently, at least since I started using their 4g service.

   I think you have an odd idea what is problematic. How does the number of people dying from drunken balcony jumping compare to the number of people dying from long term excessive alcohol consumption?

    That depends on a few things, such as the file still being at the previous url, you still having access to the file, etc.

    I've set quite a few up as airprint servers for people. It's great to get a few more years out of an old laserjet.

    You could skip both cat and grep and do it all in awk. Also if speed was an issue you would want to make sure LANG=C is set for grep. Edit: I see they did use awk later in article, I should really read all of things before commenting.

    In my experience, the wifi icon being greyed out can often mean the hardware on your device is no longer functioning. There are plenty of cases of this, seemed to happen most to 4S phones on upgrade from ios6 to 7 but also to iphone 5 as we

    I've been told that some criminals like to keep ammonia in a squeeze bottle (like a jif lemon container) to be used as a weapon if necessary. Also handy that they can use it to clean their cocaine as well.

    I wouldn't let that set you back. All you need is a sense of adventure mixed with equal amounts of common sense and money. I got round SK/Japan with a few basic words that I made sure to learn to at least try to be polite.

    When I was in South Korea a while back I was able to get a blood test via a finger prick and the results back before I left the clinic that day. Admittedly, the chap at the clinic did think I had hepatitis, but apparently that can be explai
