   I have a Dell EMC T40 that was working fine until a BIOS update caused an ACPI issue where one core would sit and spin on an inturrupt eating 60% of the CPU. The discussion on lkml is that it is a BIOS issue and they can do nothing. It&#x27

   That is a portion of the problem, but there are many other factors. I believe the cost of tuition has become a large factor lately. Also, the quest for knowledge has been replaced with a quest for a degree purely for monetary gain and statu

   For an old timer like me, cell phones are about as functional for voice communication as the toy walkie-talkie's were that I played with as a kid.

   They would have much more credibility if they were to have equal representation from both sides of the political spectrum, and also include equally represented opposing views in articles for controversial subjects.

    That may be true in a non-general sense. There are many people that take the time to research and learn the truth, and there are probably a number of people that prefer to just go with the flow of their peers. I really couldn't tell yo

    This whole concept of "misinformation" is the attempt of one side to silence the other, rather that debating the subject with definitive proof of their claims. With all of the unknowns of many of these current subjects, I would th

    I think the media portraying the BLM riots as mostly peaceful tells you the intense fear many journalists have, because of the possibility they would be labeled a racist.

    In today's environment, an apology only seems to exacerbates and further inflame the issue. I think the best tact is to ignore it until it goes away.
