Updating right now.

Not a full time Fedora user, but looking for something that has a good combo of stability and newer software. Now that the version is out of pre-release, I will give it a good test run.

Just look at Coursera, EdX, Code School, and others.

Are they free? No, but neither is Netflix or Hulu.

If only I had a beowulf cluster of the posts.

I remember complaining about his articles until the Hellmouth stuff happened (the Columbine shooting and the following hysteria from mass media). He seemed to really listen to what younger people were saying at the time instead of telling us what we were saying.

He seemed to "get it" and quick to translate was school administrators and lawyers were proposing into something that the younger people understood.

I also read his book Geeks and found it really interesting. The view of someone from outside of the small town geek bubble describing the story makes me look back at my younger years differently.

I can't say he was my favorite slashdot editor, but I won't say anything bad about his time at slashdot now that I can look back on it with the filter time gone by.

I love paying each month for the ability to mod you trolls into the dirt.

It is the single thing that brings a smile to my face any more.

I support Surface Pro2s and up at work. One client is an office that is running AutoDesk on Surface Pro 2/3 models.

We also have a technical sale company that uses Surfaces for sales people and engineers.

I don't care for them and find them to have a few quirks, but the users like them. Or they say that do after convincing their company to shell out the money for the Surface and dock.

One thing we did get complaints about is the decrease in battery life of a Surface Pro 4 compared to a Pro 3.

We similar with phones. Feature phones got smaller and smaller and then with the coming of smart phones we are reversing direction and they are getting bigger and bigger.

The difference between what was called a phablet and today's flagship phones is nil.

I need something big enough to use comfortably more than I need something something small.

I had used Wunderlist on and off for a bit to be able to get a visual of what needed done and help prioritize things I needed to accomplish. Once Wunderlist was bought I just uninstalled and said good bye as I knew it wouldn't last or would end up needing dependencies that I didn't want to install (i.e: become part of office).

Now I just vi a text file on a server that I can access via the internet.

Think of how much progress could have been made on Wayland if the effort that was put into Mir has been added to efforts on Wayland.

I remember when Mir was getting started that many wondered why Canonical put the effort into Mir instead of contributing to more universal projects. Looks like Canonical is reaping what it sowed by starting its own projects instead of just working on existing projects.

While I think Canonical's intentions with Unity and Mir were not as benevolent as they portrayed, have to remember that even FOSS projects that fail often provide wisdom (of what doesn't work), code and experience that is beneficial to the FOSS community as a whole.

What books? I got some secret agent type books that had code in them?

I loved the few I read even though I didn't have a computer to enter the code into.

Dilaudid was the only thing that made the pain go away. Vicoden ES would work to take the edge off enough to function.

Didn't try morphine or oxycontin until I was being treated for cancer, so not sure how it does for stone.

Found out I had a parathyroid adenoma. Had one of my parathyroids removed and the stones went away for quite some time. I still get small ones, but nothing that requires a doctor's care.

After 20+ kidney stones, I would give this a try.

I believe currently the only place able to take federal nuclear waste is WCS in Andrews, Texas.

Course nuclear weapons are assembled and disassembled near Amarlillo, Texas at the Pantex plant.

The reason everything in Texas is big is all of the radiation.
