Yeah, I don't actually see why people put so much weight on what the card can do when we live in this age of console ports. For me, the max TDP is a much bigger factor (for fan noise reasons more than electricity). And Nvidia seems to be winning on that score also.

One of the Gawker sites interviewed this guy a few weeks ago. I went into it ready to criticize, but now I wish more people like him were in charge of the armed forces.

Thanks for trying with that guy.

Everyone's focusing on the first part of that sentence, and not the 2nd...
Take two people who negotiate equally strongly; the one with the penis is called confident and achieving, the one with the vagina is pushy and catty.
So too late, some people (the one's with the vaginas) are already being punished for being good at something.

Only slightly on-topic, but I've been using KDE plasma 5 since 5.2 came out. And it's great. I was a refugee escaping from Gnome 3 who went to XFCE for a few years. But that never completely satisfied me.

But KDE does now. Which is funny, because in the days of Gnome 2, I really didn't like KDE.

The situation isn't ideal, but it's much better than it was before. I have a gaming computer that runs Windows. The rest of my computers (including at my traditonal 9-5 desk job) is Linux. That's undeniable progress.

I actually find it a bit funny how big of a deal the uncanny valley still is. But maybe the low-point of the valley is dependent on the person, and I suspect people that have grown up with computers and video games are far less creeped out by it.

For me, the low-point on the curve was from some of the characters in late 90's-early 2000's video games. Think Ocarina of Time or Deus Ex. Once it got past that, I was perfectly comfortable.

As for voice, hell, I could sleep soundly with hal-9000, gladOS, or prof Hawking reading me bedtime stories.

But, as I did actually skim the article, I can see that the article is more about the un-human responses the device gives, not the voice. Which, again, to someone who's grown up with computers, we're used to the occasional rediculous, non-sensical answers. It doesn't matter if my computer has an almost-human voice, I'm still very aware of it's limitations.

We still have Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Because tech-bubble 2.0?

Instead of making another program, I wonder what was wrong with sharing the code with gparted so that they could incorporate support for more filesystems?

TFA didn't say if that option had been explored.

Yeah, liquid nitrogen is pretty safe. Dip your hand in it, throw it at people, put it in your ice cream; all valid uses. Unless you drink it or jump in a pool of it, it's mostly harmless

Agreed. Without geany there, this comparison is not very useful. Whenever I was using Linux, I missed notepad++, until I found out about geany.

As someone who has traveled quite a bit in so-called third-world countries, I was also wondering how it is that he's getting so many phones stolen. No it's not impossible (or hard) to stop yourself from being pick-pocketed in poor countries.

If the thief wasn't threatening him with violence, he could probably solve his problem by keeping his phone in a zipped pocket when he's not using it.

Nice. I'm in the same fun situation. Having a kid got a lot more fun when they could play good games. The legos are great. We've done star wars, and indy jones, but I kind of want to get her to watch lord of the rings before we play that.

Also, ok, I know this isn't the best decision, but she's been wanting to play left-for-dead, and I can only say no so many times, so I say if her grades keep up, then ok. And similar to you, I'll tell her mom "they're zombies, so it's ok".

Yeah, having fun in the only life we'll ever have sure is a waste of time. I'd better go earn more money.
