Please don't quantise all Linux users with something that's not gnome|kde or mainstream into "likes stuff that breaks" - both the author and I run Debian, this is the least breaky distro of all time, less than ubuntu. Li

The last season was the best for reasons like this, I wish they had cranked up the nostalgia to 100% from season 1... It's why fans were watching in the first place, but it's like they only realised on season 3. Was this due to th

Yeah, those have been around for decades on all kinds of old specialised keyboards and equipment... The real reason stuff trends towards touch screens is people trying to keep the BOM cost low without considering cost to the user. A generic

That's country specific, maybe you should use port and starboard. Really though, just use _your_ left and right as most people do, because as has been mentioned, the standard is for doctors to refer to and visualise left and right from

I'm sorry to hear that. There are definitely differences in tolerance between people. However I don't think this is specific to the tech any more, just the experience, similar to flying a plane or being on a boat. But It used to b
