It depends on your use case. If someone did not have 10+ years of intensive windows using wants to browse, listen to music and read some e-mails for example and than Linux or rather Ubuntu is the most attractive solution. You don't to

No decent outliner on Linux? http://orgmode.org/ is by far the best i have seen so far, so could use outline-mode if you do not use any of the extra features. There is something similar to outline-mode for vim users if i re

I don't think its that easy, it depends more on the specific school and most of all on the teacher. For the record: I also had to memorize it and i went to an "european" school, or rather to an austrian one. Europe still has

LibreOffice is not necessarily a sign of a human involment in the process, as it comes with a commandline interface to convert documents between various formats. So it could be thumbnail generation as Guillaume86 suggested.

Or maybe they are just changing their browser windows size by hand, which would lead to a lot of different resolutions.

Iran is such a good example, it's not even funny. I crushes my heart every time i see or hear something about the living conditions and images of a possible future in Iran during the Mosaddegh government and compare it to the current s

Your analogy does not work, at least not where I am living; parts of my life are not monitored by the government. All of them are monitored by someone like my friends, colleagues, etc but I am okay with that, as I can directly interact wi

Those are quite reliable sources, while you are just one person who seem to sympathize with Jobbik. If you post 5 links to (kind of) neutral sources, i'll gladly read them.

You are installing some devel-packages, but i don't see anything compiling? Does the selenium installation build native extensions? Then the commands should probably the other way round. Or is phantomjs compiling something on the first

I have got an x200 too, and i am between 5 and 10 hours depending mainly on screen brightness and software run. I have no idea how much i'd get on windows, as i never used it on this hardware.

That was indeed badly phrased. I was meaning some scripts to manage multiple remotes and sync (sets of) them between your different team members. So you could have your code (and maybe dumps of githubs issue tracker) on your server and stil

Yes, there is nothing wrong with using Github, but with using only Github as your git remote. Git (in theory) makes it easy to use multiple servers. Add some scripts/utilities and you get Github with all their "social" stuff, wikis and is
