I'm an spaniard living in Spain. Yes, there is too much black market economy here, but I've never seen it with cars. People here usually don't pay VAT to the plumber, the electrician, etc. EDIT: I'm talking about new car

Yes. I'm living in Spain and my wife and I bought an iPad for her parents. They love it.

I also learned to program with my HP48GX and my HP49G. When we couldn't imagine we would have smartphones, we already had programmable computers in our pockets :-)

Yes! All these articles about English knowledge are incorrectly centred in the accent. Accents are not a problem! The problem is the language: the vocabulary, the grammar and the syntax. Of course, if the accent is so strong that nobody ca

People that can't type! But, why would someone who can't type buy such a keyboard? I guess it's about aesthetics.

By the way, how about battery life? According to this article, it has 5h of battery life. http://www.wired.com/reviews/2013/07/dell-xps-linux/ This is half of the battery life of a Macbook Air! If they s

That could be an option. But, I once bought a Dell Mini 12 with Ubuntu pre-installed and it was a nightmare. It used a modified version of Ubuntu (with ad-hoc repositories hosted by Canonical) with an unstable binary blob. Therefore, not on

There is something I can't understand. They couldn't produce a really necessary Ubuntu laptop and they think they will be able to create a phone that doubles as netbook. They are deluded. I'll soon have to buy a new laptop. I

That looks very fun, but not very practical, at least where I live. I guess that most users would mostly use it as a normal recumbent, except during the weekends and holidays, when it is easier to go to a large and flat area to sail. edit:

Encrypting the files is not an optin, as I would run them on the virtual server. SSH-ing my own machine could be an option, but I don't like the idea of exposing my own machine to the net this way. Maybe I'm paranoid.

Yes. I think this is the most reasonable option. I could also automatically export my agenda to a pdf, which I could read, but not modify, on the iPad, using Dropbox. Then, I should post-process everything to update my org-mode files. The o

Fogus, you say that you use an iPad when you are on the move. Do you edit your .org files with the iPad? If yes, how do you do it? On a virtual server with a ssh client? I organize my whole life with Org-mode. I use it as a todo list, proje

Thanks for your tip. I was also thinking about trying Debian stable. There is another option, which would be to change the video card of the computer. But I don't have much time. This is my parents' in law computer not mine, and when I go t

It works on your laptop, but not on my father's in law desktop, where it used to work. Ubuntu used to work on this machine and, somehow, after each upgrade it has become less stable. It freezes completely and there is no way to solve the pr

> Since Dropbox is for work, I moved all my personal files to Google Drive. On feature lists it should be the same or better, but I find it just never works reliably Three months ago I decided to put all my pictures on a cloud provider.

You are right about App.net. There is no point in embracing a new centralized service. Protocols are the way to go.
