The easiest way to subvert democracy is by (1) creating political parties, then (2) claim that its party members represent the people, while (3) they actually represent its political party, and therefore, of course, prioritize its interes

Clearly the author still hasn't learned his lesson: his "no more vendor lock" solution is another vendor(s) - which is always able to vendor-lock him, again. It is truly mind blowing on how many people keep falling for one of

I used to own the original 3M gaming mouse pad. It felt amazing, just a bliss to use everyday. Sturdy, it was abused everyday yet showed no sign of any damage. It just works - it does not move from its place, felt rock solid, yet very thin.

All the good managers I've ever encountered have the same skill: They ask smart questions. ==== At the beginning, they try to understand the situation by asking the very dumb questions - but they're not shy about it. They'll

Families are already struggling when only the father is working. Work is hard for the father, and raising kids is even harder for the mother. Now both father and mother must have a job - and that's just to barely survive. And the gove

Been there done that since the era of Powerbooks - and it always causes my laptop's battery to deplete much faster. Because I'm using my laptop to, well, work on the go a lot; this is a showstopper.

"And it runs Office better than Linux or Mac" Yup, been doing that for decades. It's called "vendor lock-in". And its unethicality has been discussed comprehensively for decades as well. And when countries tried to

"it's literally unix, man" Yup, it's NOT Linux. Been using MacOSX since Powerbook up to first gen Macbook - and I finally gave up: I installed Linux on it instead. Pretty much all servers are running Linux even back then

Still gaming on AMD FX-6350 (3C/6T), paired with Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB. Kids are playing the latest MMO with no complain. I'm still surprised myself whenever I realized this. I did buy it with the intention of using it for as long a

IMAP just download the index, not the content. When you click on an email - then it'll download that email. Attachment is also probably you have to click it too. That's just not feasible when you (turned out to have) nearly 150 K
