That's true. My next laptop will be bigger! For now I have good eyes to see the 7px fonts. And it was some real work to remove all the window decorations, editing config files to get a slim profile on everything. Usually I have my

At one point had 8 virtual desktops all labled by activity. Then I had a time tracker that triggered on each. So if I was doing dev work for Client A the billable hours would be tracked automatically. Client B. Marketing. Etc. Problem

I tried two monitors but didn't see any benefit. You can only look at one monitor at a time. I find ctrl-alt-arrow easier than straining neck, etc. Also with two monitors, to get right in front of either one you'll need a swivel

Since I switched to a window tiler, I never need to move windows unless I'm doing something complex in GIMP. I'm using pytyle2 (you can probably find something better) and mostly all I use is alt-c to rotate the windows, alt-h fo

American Pop music would be more effective than waterboarding, IMO.

Fewer and fewer people. The art world is similar. Artists should be aware what other artists have done, to not do something unoriginal unintentionally. But that's hard work because it requires so much time/energy to investigate

That's more like it.

I won't respond to all of that but I think we can both agree the business of news is interesting. Also I'm fascinated by the PR world and no, I don't have much experience in that area. My perspective is more pageviews &

Yes Quarterdeck (DESQview) was awesome for multitasking. I used it to run a multi-node BBS (two phone lines) on a 286! Multiplayer games, split-screen chat. Though for games Galacticom was so much more awesome at multitasking--I actually

Yes, growing up in the 90s with awesome software that didn't need Windows. I loved DOS. And somebody else mentioned Amiga, probably the most awesome computer and community ever, too bad they went out of business. And OS/2 2.0 r

You so desperately want this to be a nefarious PR job. Why was Chick-fil-a mentioned first? (Puts on Sherlock Holmes cap.) 1. Maybe the writer was fishing for pageviews? 2. Maybe the writer wanted an eye-catching lead? Aggregators pick up

It's a fact? I heard Chick-fil-a stores had record sales after your so-called "deep shit PR disaster."

Trickle-Back economics? I think this is cool but there's more charitable ways to go vs. buying the rear-view clunker a milk shake.

Pretty much the same here. I purchased Borland TP5 in high school which was the first version with "OOP" but I think we were using versions 3 & 4 at school which were also nice. The equivalent of WordPress back then was Teleg

Seriously cool. But I can't imagine ever using it ;-) Half the fun of TP was all the libraries, like to interface Souldblaster, modems, etc. All that stuff is long gone.

You never had trouble but come back here in few years. WebFaction registered September 28, 2003. 10 years in business, not bad. But if you start recommending hosts there's going to be a list here 10 miles long.

by pjbrunet 13y ago
I have a long list too. You need off-site backups because that day will come. Funny, my first real host (he.net) is still in business. Maybe it's true you get what you pay for ;-)

Maybe he's talking about the ads, not plus. If the recommendations are just for people in your "friends" circle this recommendation engine has minimal impact. And just because I circle some people in Plus doesn't mean

by pjbrunet 13y ago
Shouldn't that be a conversation you have with your friend directly? Also it's not a recommendation for your friend, it's a recommendation to the general public. If I want to recommend something to my friends on Plus, don&#x

by pjbrunet 13y ago
It's too vague. Some of it sounds cool, some of it does not. So I opted out. I would have made a series of focused opt-in pages that popup in stages over months (less annoying, less confusing) and sell each recommendation function as

1. I said 90% of uninsured. That would be 90% of 15% of the population. Clearly I'm not saying 90% of the population will get fined. But my estimate will be way off, see #2. 2. Getting fined (what I said) and paying a fine (what you

Check out what Peter Schiff says about the minimum wage. He has some good, reasonable arguments IMO. The minimum wage ultimately hurts everyone. Minimum wage = fewer jobs (quantity and types of jobs) and higher prices.

Well, there's the marketplace application. Let's see the bounce rate on that baby. Then you need to file tax returns to get the tax credit. According to this link, 41% of the population does not file a tax return. I bet the pe

I predicted 5% of uninsured who don't want insurance will pay the fine. About 15% don't have health insurance. If it turns out 1% of the population pays an IRS fine, that's even more people than I predicted. http:/&#x
