Congratulations on shipping! Just installed it on fedora using dnf and tried my usual git commands using hub instead. So far so good. I haven't tried any hub specific features yet though. It is nice that I can just dnf install hub

Can confirm. When I mentioned to my professor at a small university that the registrar's office made a mistake on my record, he just said let's talk a walk and we walked to the registrar's office. They were all polite to him

Sorry, i didnt mean it as an insult. I use fedora every day but i imagine they have fewer resources than Microsoft does. I am not sure about windows 7 and 10. We are arguably better off today than in the ActiveX days. It made no sense to re

Please don't disable windows update for gaming. There is a gaming mode (which really ought to be called normal mode) which should help. The only other stipulation is you must keep your computer plugged in, turned on, and connected to t

Something must be done to rein in executive pay though. I am not talking about MM in particular. She is probably a fine executive. However, my point is that unchecked executive pay is not good for anyone. We don't live in a free market
