   I'm not anywhere near upset but I loved going through IKEA and Sony catalogs in the 90s. It was aspirational since the nearest IKEA was two countries away and represented something modern and more progressive than the furniture we coul

    This line is getting really boring, especially on HN, which should be at least a bit more tech savvy than the regular forum. I got a laptop. Removed it from the box. Installed Ubuntu, tweaked the dock drivers a bit. Everything works as it w
