Ever considered spending $20 on a surge protecting power bar that includes RJ11 plugs? They're designed specifically for this, and go between the wall outlet and the ADSL modem.
Coupled with surge protectors on ask the AC adapters, you'd be set.
Not really, no. I've seen 30-year olds that make tweeners seem like model citizens, and 16-year old that make middle-agers seem young. While you would expect the older driver to have better judgement, I wouldn't count on it.
No, inexperienced drivers, regardless of age, are the worst actuarial risk. A 30-year old new driver is no better than a 16-year old new driver is no better than a 60-year old new driver.
And someone who drives less than an hour a week over the course of 20 years is really no more experienced than someone who drives everyday for the past 6 months since getting their license on their 16th birthday.
Age isn't an issue. Experience behind the wheel is.
Fortunately the syntax for the new nft utility seems to be easier to understand...
Compared to what? Learning Japanese using Russian textbooks?
You want easy-to-understand, look at IPFW or PF. Those read like actual English sentences, not gibberish like iptables/nftables.
About the only good thing nftables does is enforce the ordering of rules elements so that everyone's rules will be written the same; and finally get rid --of --that --annoying --CLI --syntax --that --iptables --uses.
Here's hoping the devs actually document things correctly and accurately, though. Considering their track record, though
Not to mention that a lot of Microsoft software doesn't use the "native widgets" available on the OS. Just look at every new version of Office on the (at the time) current version of Windows.
Come back tomorrow and you'll remember!

DRM module is available in Google Chrome on ChromeOS
DRM module is available in the Netflix app on Android
DRM module is not available in Google Chrome on any other Linux distro, though. Completely arbitrary limitation. Google Chrome is Google Chrome is Google Chrome, but Google limits the availability of the DRM module.
And
The IT budget is strictly for hardware and software costs (capital expenditures, licensing, etc), not salaries.
Salaries come out of the HR budget(s).
We're living proof that it's possible. Local school district, using diskless Linux in every school, roughly 95% of all PCs in the district are running Linux. IT budget is just barely over $100,000/year and that includes hardware and software. 14,000 students in the district, spread across ~10 towns, in 50-odd buildings. Only 14 IT staff, looking after it all.
We pay $0 for the OS and 90-odd% of our apps (we pay for a CAD program, a typing program, and some VC stuff).
Computers are diskless appliances, booting off the network, mounting filesystems off the local server, and running all applications locally. Thus, we get all the centralised management of a thin-client setup, but with all the power of a local computer (apps run on the local CPU, using the local 3D graphics card, pumping audio through the local soundcard, etc). Each one is under $200 CDN, with a quad-core Athlon-II CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and either nVidia or ATi graphics onboard.
They are treated as "disposable" appliances -- if one fails, sent it to maint, grab a spare, plug it in, carry on with your day. Replacement time for a hardware failure is under 15 minutes.
4 service desk staff look after 90% of the software side of things from a central office. 5 school techs look after the other 10% of the software onsite, and hardware issues. Then there's a video conferencing tech, a hardware tech, an electrician, some programmers and managers.
We're using Debian on the servers, FreeBSD on the firewalls and backups servers, and Xubuntu on the desktops. $0/desk.
Oh, did I mention we also have NX installed to allow any student/staff member remote access to their full Linux desktop from anywhere? Try that without licensing fees on Windows.
We went from paying several hundred thousand dollars per year in software licensing (Novell Netware, Windows, Office, anti-virus, Ghost, etc, etc, etc) to virtually nothing per year. It's been over 10 years now since we started the transition to Linux (2001), and the savings are HUGE!
Or an episode of Grimm.
Damned Wessen always getting underfoot!
Wife had the LG Eve (came out before the X10 Mini Pro) and loved it. Pretty sure she developed calluses from typing on the slide-out keyboard. Then she dropped it off the balcony, and managed to hit one of the stepping stones on the walkway (2" in any direction and it would have landed on grass). Now she has a Galaxy S2 (the HD/LTE version, so basically an S3), and rarely types anything on it.
I had an Xperia Pro for about a year. It basically replaced my Linux netbook and almost replaced my Windows laptop. VX Connectbot (has keymappings for the Pro) let me access all my Linux/BSD systems at home and work. And typing long e-mails was a breeze. Now I have an Optimus G and rarely type anything anymore.
Still waiting for a flagship Android device to ship with a slider keyboard. I'd like to use my pocket computer for more than browsing Facebook and Youtube. But onscreen keyboards suck for anything relating to actual computer work.
Portrait keyboards, like on the Q10, suck. You lose half the screen to the keyboard, all of the time, making it worse than an onscreen keyboard.
Landscape sliders are where it's at. You get a full-screen device, with an onscreen keyboard, and access to a full keyboard in landscape without losing any screen space.
It's just too bad there aren't any QWERTY sliders anymore.
The new library building is built in the ghetto of our city (aka North Shore).
And the previous new building was built right in the middle of the downtown core (aka inner-city).
There are no libraries in the "affluent" parts of our city (anywhere above the valley floor).
