The Windows key has summoned the start menu since XP at least.

This is not so. Linux did away with file extensions for executable programs years ago. =P

All 6 of the hobbyists that actually did so will be very glad to hear of that change.

Are you sure it's actually resuming from hibernation and not hybrid suspend? Even with a fast SSD, reading a moderately sized memory dump back in could take more than 10 seconds.

No need. S3 suspend has been a universally available feature for over 5 years (and nearly universal before that). Just run pm-suspend and your power consumption will drop below 10W, with no loss of working state.

Why are you using those in passwords? Just make it longer. Remember, if you have to hit the shift key, you could type two characters instead and have a far stronger password.

Oh god please no. Windows' text rendering looks terrible.

If we go by memory footprint, Chrome is Eclipse.

Use Firefox sync to keep your profiles the same?

I think the CAPS are meaningful. Parent is talking about the X11 "DISPLAY" environment variable. If you have more monitors than you can connect to one video card, you can either have hardware acceleration or all physical screens on the same DISPLAY. Or at least that was the case the last time I looked into it.

Debian stable is always horrifically out of date. If your machine is a server, you run Debian stable because it won't change out from underneath you and break something. You might have to install a couple packages from backports or build a few things from source to get the relevant versions of whatever it is you intend to use the server for. That's okay though, because it's rare that you have to manually update more than a few packages for any particular use case, and once you've done it the first time, you don't need to do it again until the next release of Debian. The stack, however, is consistent enough that you can make "aptitude update && aptitude upgrade -y" a cron job.

For systems that are used interactively, however, it is best to run Testing or Sid, where reasonably current software is only an aptitude install away. You can try out 2 or 3 different hipster interpreted languages and recent releases of 12 different libraries while using the latest VIM and a modern desktop environment and audio player. (You'll still have to install the web browser yourself though. Alas.) When it comes time to deploy, you only need to go through the make-it-work-on-stable's-ancient-stack dance with the 4 or 5 packages your product actually depends on.

"Per" means "/".

So MWh are a unit of energy. MW are a unit of power. MW per hour (MW/h) are a uinit of accelerating power consumption. MWh per hour (MWh/h) are the same thing as MW (the hours cancel).

Alright, pot.

The window shadow is a giant blue glow.

It seems to have fantastic specs in most departments, but why so little RAM? The most annoying issue on modern smartphones is the UI stalls that occur when you try to switch back and forth between more than 2 apps, or open more than 4 tabs in the web browser. 4 GiB would solve most of those problems.

Seeing as human vision is capable of higher resolution in lumiance than chroma, why are you calling the inefficient RGB layout "proper"?
