So she just gave up and threw 30 years of her life down the drain ? Where's the persistence ? It's like "geeks" weren't ever ridiculed and harassed decades ago, before CS got "trendy and cool". That's

The responsibility goes both ways. If I'm teaching someone and he/she fails to show at least the effort to look up the basics and achieve them, I'd find it very condescending. Sometimes like this the person just have to be ho

I see those "distros" for certain kind of people. They installed Arch manually once or twice, liked the result and got comfortable with it. Now they want to get the install part out of their way and just get to the usable system.

Stereotypes wouldn't be stereotypes if there wasn't a grain of truth in them. If we take a sample of N>1000 mothers, I bet my money more then 50% would fall under this "stereotype". Is this democratic enough to suit a

I wonder why mobile Chrome on Android (probably on iOS as well) hasn't got an option to set Duckduckgo as default search? The desktop Chrome does.

Yep, eBay is booming with second hand workstations like this. Cousin bought a HP Z210 Quad Core E3-1270 3.40GHz with 16GB RAM for 320€. Added a SSD and cheap GPU and is an awesome 500€ machine that can last for years.

Sorry, but claiming 4 year old devices are usable with iOS 9 is a joke. The rule of a thumb with iPhones is that you update n+1 version your phone shipped with. Anything more kills the performance to almost a standstill. I won't go int

Good luck using that Mini for 4 years, when iOS runs worse and worse on it. You could mend that with more RAM, but hey that kind of luxury ain't "the Apple way".
