I have Mint 17 and have intermittent hibernate issues on my T500 with SSD but I agree with the other poster it boots so fast that I don't really care that it fails where as Windows boot times are a crap shoot. You should save your work before hibernating because it is a gamble on any OS just some odds are worse than others.

Haha hilarious typo. marrying

I don't think that was his goal in marring her.

Oh come off it. I bought tons of ChromeBooks for the secondary school I work at but there is no way a ChromeBook == MacBook. For my Python course I am not using any of the ChromeBooks because cloud programming is not a practical and the Python apps are OK but lack Python 3 in many cases and in both options I can't easily add modules and students need to agree to terms of service they might not be able to so we will keep working in the computer lab with Windows installs. I'm not installing crouton in dev mode for security and user experience reasons. If I had MacBooks I would be thrilled as it would reduce security concerns as ChromeBooks do and provide a tidy environment where kids could learn version control and other programming tools if they so chose as I don't have time to cover it in a four month intro course but many of my students will go beyond. Not every discipline needs that flexibility and ChromeBooks are great--though hardware quailty is a bit lacking due to the price--but they are not always the solution. You want to browse the Web, use an app, or write using Google Drive great get a ChromeBook but that is not all I expect from kids taking AP Physics or programming courses. You don't know what these MacBooks were for and it's New Jersey where some of the most affluent people in the US live. 80 year old dad and 35 year old mom probably don't give a shit that little Alvin got a $2000 laptop when they just bought him a BMW for his first car.

But from a financial perspective it is dumb to buy the same content that is available elsewhere and you lose leverage as someone can walk as they have so many other places to sell their movie. The are probably looking at the successes in their original content and wondering why they waste so much money on crap that litters everywhere else.

I love their original content too and agree that is where they should put their efforts. Honestly they should just buy up college kids film projects and get more Sundance entries to fatten up their offerings. I don't mind digging through the crap if it's halfway decent, it's better than getting the same suggestions in different "categories". I think BoJack was a great adult animation addition and with as big of a name as Netflix I suspect this will continue to grow but they don't all have to be great. They could sponsor projects without putting Netflix original on it if they are afraid of a flop, they still own the rights and can brag later if it takes off.

But if you must blow the whistle as soon as you encounter wrongdoing won't that mean everyone is slowly introduced to the fold therefore weeding out the potential of any real serious whistleblowing?

I did not read "okay to just don't care at all" out of any of that. In reading the article the purpose to me was to show that the question of if a person believes in evolution is not any measure of their understanding of science as a whole. The general opinion being that those that do not believe in evolution have a much limited understanding of science. The portion i cited was explaining that there are things that a person may not fully understand like say gravity but that is not to say that one cannot have faith that the scientific community understands the principals in gravity and therefore one can generally assume that gravity is a proven fact even if you do not know how it works. For people that do not understand the fundamentals on how evolution works it is used as a way to insult those that do not side with their beliefs whether for or against. It causes heated debates and many who believe or do not believe in it really have no true facts as to why they believe one way or another and therefore should not even be asked as a question since a person's answer is based more on social upbringing rather than science.

I think this quote from the first link sums things up nicely

Plus if the car has a set route and speed you will know if you will be on time before entering the vehicle. I can picture that in the future I "hail" a cab on my phone while at a friends house. I will know how long that cab will take to arrive and a recalculating clock for my arrival time increased by the time it takes me to get in the vehicle. So if I am going to miss a train I might just stay at my friends longer and catch the next one.

While it may be flabbergasting that someone may believe they are here because a "wizard" this study seems to reveal that many sheeple don't believe in said "wizard" but have no true foundation for this other than that is what their peers believe. Many do not have any understanding of how evolution actually works yet believe in it therefore making the question less of a scientific question and more of a religious or lack of question.

So we should eliminate all systems that have waste in the government? My point was that everyone is so concerned about the cost of their school taxes (which they kind of can vote on) but no has a say about how much federal taxes are thrown away to the military were at least 10x the amount is spent (no one gets a 'say' on this). A large percentage of people don't even pay school taxes but almost everyone gets to pay for the military. My school district let about a third of the teachers go due to the closure of a business that was paying a 1/5 of the school taxes and is now gone. How do you fill a hole like that? Schools aren't even legally allowed to stock pile tons of cash so what prevents that type of catastrophe? No one is going to move to a school district that is teetering on collapse which only further compounds the problem. Maybe if I could resolve my own town budgets before kicking a dime to the Feds we wouldn't have these issues. Throwing money at a problem doesn't magically fix things, but money seems to be the biggest complaint about schools from tax payers yet no one is screaming at voting polls i mass numbers about Federal waste. Also my original response was to the parent asking for better individual classroom instruction from teachers that let students meet their full potential. My question was how do you do that with less money? What answer did your response have to address that?

Even if we do hold back students, how would you fix this? Separate students even further creating more classrooms requiring more teachers? The biggest problem currently is that there isn't enough money. You can't come up with solutions to problems that cost more money. First fix the lack of money problem. I personally don't think is because teachers are paid too much but rather because priorities are not correct. We spend about 20% on military and 2% on education.

Nope, I'm saying it isn't the FCC's job. http://www.fcc.gov/what-we-do Also I misread the parent's post where they actually mentioned FAA in reply to the GPs FCC response. I still stand by my original statement though, I don't see how it would really be FAA's role either. Someone talking on a phone isn't really a safety issue just because someone loses their cool.

Doubtful, if that many people are complaining to the FCC then those potential customers will likely not use those airlines that allow talking which is bad for their bottom line. Again as others have posted it would be similar to movie theaters which do not tolerate cell phones. In theaters were it is not enforced customers just wont go if its an issue to them. Airlines could maybe do something to work around these issues perhaps acting as a relay for cell towers to boost signal for passengers but having a data throughput that prevents data streams for anything larger than the control channel packets giving you SMS.
