was it difficult to set up play on the fire? Does that give you hangouts, etc.?
My son's Nexus 7 just died and I've been considering a Fire to replace it but he uses hangouts to talk to his friends a lot.

Pretty much this. I don't understand why something that is already a cultural phenomenon world wide - watching people compete - is a mystery just because computers are involved.
Just logging in - I can read the site fine. Although it may be like a few have mentioned above - at the moment I can log in.
I can't log in to slashdot from my laptop. Every browser - and even from a browser running on a vm - it always fails. Not sure why but as long as it persists my posting will be less frequent.
I didn't think the prequels were better - but it was pretty poor in my opinion.
It's all right - I didn't have big hopes and my kids liked it.
This is a little off topic.
I keep seeing people saying the governments number one job is to keep people safe. When did they decide that? I've always thought that their number one job ought to be to keep people free. I really don't want safety at any cost.
Don't know why - but I really like that combination.
I've gotten off my schedule of reading Starship Troopers and TMiaHM every year - but I did just reread The Moon is a Harsh Mistress last week-end. My wife was in Ukraine and I was kind of bored but not motivated enough to do something that took effort.
I've outgrown RAH's politics but I still love the story.
I'm totally in on google - drank the kool-aid and all that. We use their products at my work a ton so I've always got chrome open on my desktop, laptop and phone.
For some reason magnet links that I clicked in Chrome were opening the Transmission client instead of Ktorrent. I remember doing something in the past related to this - though I think the issue then was that chrome didn't know how to handle them at all.
It's broken now as far as browsing categories - and has been for a while. You can search for specific packages and install them/uninstall them but you can't use apper to just browse through the different types of software available. It's a known issue and I haven't heard anyone mention any ideas on when it would be fixed.
One of the package managers for KDE on Fedora quit and the reasons were not encouraging. I'm not optimistic for the future of that combination but I'll probably hang in there as long as I can.
I am using the Nvidia driver - nouveau has never worked for me with this card on this machine. And it's the only card I've ever found that fits the case - it's an Acer that's really compact. I've had it for 6 years or so and I love it - but at some point I may need to get something new. But I've never seen anything with quite the same form factor. I really like it over the big, big boxes that are normal for so many desktops.
Support for Fedora 21 is coming to an end and so I decided to upgrade to Fedora 22.
I don't run the default Fedora install, I use the KDE spin. I realize KDE isn't the primary desktop for Fedora, but until now it's been alright. I use Fedora for a lot of reasons but mostly because it is the distro I know. I know it because it is the first distro I used on a regular basis for more than just messing around. I did that because at my work we got a new server running RedHat.
No - we just hit peak wind faster than anyone expected.
The Offspring released a new album in 2012 and I didn't know until yesterday. There are implications to that I need to get sorted but now you know what I'm listening to all day while I work.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
