5300 comments per day? That's about the size of some minor subreddits. I would have sold too.

Apparently he is just a dog.

I tried something along the lines of a projected keyboard for a strategy game once, that went old fast. It could have been nice, but needs a fairly large and straight surface and a custom fabric cloth to maximize detection, but it was slow, unresponsive and inaccurate. I doubt anyone will take the time to picnic every time they need their phone.

Could everyone just stop saying IANAL, we know that already.

Please stop that right now. You know goddamned well that nobody questions Linux as long as it doesn't involve a sound or graphics driver.

I assume your laptop had 7200 rpm drives so this comparison doesn't suck?

Uh just read that thread guys, it's confirmed. Already with POC in several languages.

That said, my Ubuntu gets to the login screen in 6 seconds in a vbox.

Hah you are right, the more idiots they elect the faster their shitty country burns and has to be rebuilt

I'm standing right in your 'landscape' and i keep seeing SD cards everywhere, your point?

I probably have 5-10 gigs of everything i ever did on a computer. all this is wrapped in a perpetual folder structure of older backups within old backups within.... i've tried sorting it and deduping it with various tools, but theres no point. you find this snippet named clever_code_2002.c at 10kb and then the same file somewhere else at 11kb and how do you know which one to keep? are you going to inspect every file ? are you going to auto-dedupe it based on size? on date? it wont work out in the end im afraid. the closest i have gotten to some structure in the madness is to put all single files of the same type in the same folder, and keep a folder with stuff that needs to be in folders. put a folder named 'unsorted' anywhere you want when you are not sure right away what to do with a file(s). copy all your stuff into the folders. decide if you want to rename dupes to file_that_exists(1).jpg or leave them in their original folders and sort it out later in the file copy/move dialogs that pops up when it detects similar folders/files. i like to just rename them, and then whenever i browse a particular 'ancient' folder, i quickly sort trough some files every time. over time, it becomes tidier and tidier. one tool that everyone should use is Locate32. it indexes your preferred locations and stores it in a database when you want to. (its not a service) you can then search very much like the old Windows search function again, only much much better.

With 16GB RAM being about $100, claiming memory usage is pointless. also, linux has different library versions all over the place. also, most windows apps comes with custom dlls placed in its program folder, and for the system libraries, MS redistributable packages are used at the end of the Installer program. windows has problems with efficiency and performance ? sure, some ligthweight configurations can sometimes match Window 7's snappiness, but come on...

Started out on Amiga, loved the CLI. Used to write fancy startup.s scripts and all sorts of glorius 90s eyecandy. Tried Red Hat 6.2 back in the days, didn't work very well. Went to computer engineering classes, learned Solaris. Got pretty familiar with Linux development trough DJGPP and all that. Cygwin, etc. Years went, tried version 4 or 5 of Ubuntu. Went to more school, learned Mandriva/Mandrake. Using different Ubuntu distros at home. Was at 8.10 when I got 'professional'. Work used Windows XP workstations, but all the development servers was Linux, so Putty was the numero uno app. Company had custom quickstart-guide to Linux for the inexperienced and we had posters of shell commands on the walls, Also, the bash buffers on all the different servers had like 2 years worth of command history, so it didn't take long to learn to run most of the park. Nitty gritty details were left to the respective admins ofcourse.It was harder to memorize what was running on all the servers than to actually perform the work needed on them :D Now I have tried about every major distro, even quite a few lesser known. Arch, LFS, DSL, Puppy, Manjaro. Even experimenting with building custom Linux now. The whole linux development pipeline is just lovely. I usually mouth off at the desktop situation, but actually working with Linux is bliss.

Also called 'don't worry, just a routine check'.

thing is, if you're raped, you get to the police right away. (well both of them should). you don't wait for 2-3 days until you realize who you had sex with.
