I bought a Samsung 300E. i5, 6gb ram, Nvidia graphics, 750 gb HD. 15" matte display. Light, cheap, durable battery.
Downside is that the Fn keys work only with the maufacturer's "utility". If I remove it, the only thing I can do via keyboard is change the volume. No screen brightness control, no touchpad turn-off, no fan control, no WiFi on/off. And for each of those it takes a LOT to obey because when pressed they load the whole "utility".

When it came to buying a netbook, I went for the dual-core (Atom 570) and upgraded the 1gb RAM to 2gb (It was tricky because it wouldn't accept any $20 ram module, and the manufacturer wanted more thatn $100 to upgrade. Thankfully I had a friendly store nearby that let me try many brands till I found the right $20 one).

I have compared it to many "normal" netbooks and it's much quicker for most tasks. The only thing I would have wished for was an ION chipset for a better video experience (it's still low to rearrange windows when connected to an external monitor), but it would have raised the price to notebook levels.

He wants to be like Jerry Steiner.

As a matter of fact, I'm a grandson of italians, french, danes and spaniards raised in Peru and living in Spain for many years now. I know what I'm talking about.
It's good not to resort to violence. What's wrong is the current inability of europeans to do so even at the cost of their own lives. The rest of the world is not as byzantine as modern Europe, and we know what happened to Constantinople.

I think the current pussyness of Europe has to do with the fact most of its alpha males have been killed in WW1, WW2 and the random civil wars (and the remaining brave men went to America at a time it was not a 10 hour flight). I feel ashamed for all the people that stare in awe whenever I show my swiss army knife in public.

Publicity for Ubuntu 16.04 or around.

... while being hit by lightning.

I once saw The Flash rebuild a batch of shredded files in seconds.

Player B sells pet to Player C for real-world money and resumes mining
Player C becomes new Player A

I think it's because of two things:

In the earlier days of the internet, a lot of sites wouldn't accept passwords longer than eight characters or with spaces in them. I think because of the way they were saved. What's worse is that some sites would accept the password at registration, but filter it when signing in; thus locking out the user forever.

And nowadays there's too many sites that ask such nonsense as "Must be longer than 6, shorter than 10, have 3 numbers, one capital letter". My phone company asks for 4 numbers and then 6 letters. I guess they get lots of reset password calls. I make one each 6 months or so.

Surely. Under 38C in the summer or rain in spring and fall ... and carrying along the kid, whom I drop at the school that's in the way.

I live in Guadalajara, Spain (the original one). It's got about 90 thousand inhabitants, most of which work in Madrid (about 60 km away).
The hospital, where I work at, is 7 min away from here by car. Should I take the bus, the trip lasts 30 min, to which I must add an average 15 min between buses at peak times. Now, that's 45 min against 7, twice a day.
If I go to Madrid, it takes about an hour if by train or if by car. But by car I bypass the 30-40' of busing to the train station and also the time limits (I must get back before 10 pm or I may not find any buses at the station in Guadalajara).

Now, if that appears difficult: Try doing it with a child and a toddler in a stroller.

Not to mention going from one city to another and finding there's only one bus to go in the morning and one to get back in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, the politicians will always have their official AUDIs with a driver.

A big company or even a ghost company can blow up your proyect because it looks like the application of a concept they patented but never developed. On the other hand, China is allowed to mass produce copies of western products and never face the consequences.

How many uncorrectable/reallocated sectors do you consider hazardous?

My main HD is a 1TB Seagate 7200. I first noticed a SMART alert in Ubuntu with a number of reallocated sectors of around 45. A year or so afterwards, it reads 52.

Do you think I should worry?

Mine uses a numeric-only password with a limit of 4 for read-only access, but for the rest of operations I must enter a 7 character pw made of chars and numbers.
