Even if you posted Lubuntu's releases (the distro I use) I would still be posting this. Why do we care about random distro releases?

Sure Linux Kernels, but beyond that, who cares?

If you are a fan of a specific distro, you probably already know a new one was released.

How is this modded interesting? This is one of the most ignorant posts and probably because you never raised a child and weren't bullied as a child.

I was bullied to the point I was within seconds of trying to commit suicide if not for a friend who stumbled into my room on a trip and helped me, continuing throughout HS.

I kept it from my parents. I smiled, i put on the brave face. I was involved in sports all 3 seasons except summer. I had weekly chores. I had a job. I was self reliant. But my parents had no clue until I told them about my struggles when I was in my 20's.

But harrassment can break any 13/14/15/16 year old, and it doesn't take long at that age.

So how are you going to do anything if you dont' know about it. My parents encouraged me to come to them about everything. I did about many things, but for some reason with the harrassement I couldn't.

So it doesn't always work out the way you have it typed out in this post. I know nowadays' bullying is a big thing in schools. I have 2 kids in elem, there are bullying teaching moments, bullying posters. It's a much more consious thing now then it was when i was in shcool. I know the school knew about 2 instances and never informed my parents or did anything at the time. I can't see that happening now adays. And I'm grateful for that. I hope no kid has to go through what I did.

Right, so as a teenager being held upside down over a toilet and being swirled. Constantly harassed by the wrestling team, just because I had come from a private school where I had taken advance classes, so as a freshman my gym class was with seniors since gym alternates with science lab, and I need to accept that and be comfortable with it?

People like you who think too much discussiong focus's on bully. It should focus on it. Bullies need to be punished severly if we are to get a handle on this. You are expecting young minds to be more advance then they are. Yes I thought about and came within seconds of trying, if a dear friend hadn't stumbled into my room and "saved" me on a trip. That friend is what pulled me through HS.

yes now I'm comfortable with myself. I'm more outspoken. I've learned and adapted and grown. But at 13/14/15 you expect me to be that?

Sorry I couldn't be. Just because kids will do it, doesn't mean there shouldn't be punishment for it.

If you're using SB, why not just get Arrested Development and use CouchPotatoe for your movies. Then you can cut Netflix. I mean if you don't care about legitimate ways to get your entertainment.

Not judging as I also have SB installed. As far as well new season of AD only on netflix, I'll just point out the Amazon pilots were up and out online very fast.

Now that SWTOR is F2P i'd recommend doing the story. Before they cracked down on people I leveled my dudes automatically with a space mission bot, then just did the story line missions. The stories for at least 4 are AMAZING. The other 4 are very good also. I'd highly recommend just giving SWTOR a try as a RPG for the story line.

Yes the grind sux over 8 characters, why I'm not sure if they cracked down on space botting again. I know it's only a 3 day ban, so could try.

it's not worth it. And as more ASIC"s hit the market, GPU's will become unviable to make back what you spend in electricity. As it is, it's getting close to that point with FPGA's already out last year using much less watt per mh/s.

You PC idle is prolly 200-300. And again only the AMD gpu's are good at BTC mining. Nvidia stink and most intels don't have openCL and stink even worse then nvidia.

You also have to think about heat. Running full load over night if the machines are near each other is going to create lots and lots of heat. Your AC system may kick on when it never did before over night. Causing even more electricity to be used.

You'll spend more in electricity then you make back.

Just put them to sleep for like 6 hrs each night and you'll save a ton.

Yeah my solution, go with pre pay like net10/straight talk/h20/etc. Got my nexus 4, pay less, less hassle. Can't charge me more since I put in pin #'s. Company doesn't have my CC info. Unlimited everything for $40/month (ebay pins FTW).

Um I'm in US and it seems many Blurays are released in other parts of the world before us, I'm assuming because of the Pay Per View streaming licenses. All I know is 90% of movies are up on usenet/torrents a full month before actual release. And 1 time I checked, france shopping sites did have the Bluray 3 weeks before us.

Now I get you're other part. DRM free video downloadable not streamed. I'm all for this. And AFAIK no one sells this.

That's not top tier:

Ultimate (up to 50Mbps) $74.99/mo. For 12 Months
Extreme (up to 30Mbps) $64.99/mo. For 12 Months
Turbo (up to 20Mbps) $54.99/mo. For 12 Months
Standard (up to 15Mbps) $44.99/mo. For 12 Months
Basic (up to 3Mbps) $29.99/mo. For 12 Months
Lite (up to 1Mbps) $19.99/mo. For 12 Months

And those are the 1yr prices. They go up $5-10 after the 12 months. The other thing is no matter how much you pay, the max upload you can get is a crappy 5mb/s an dyou have to go to Extreme to get that. Otherwise it's 2 or 1. It's crap if you want to access your stuff at home from anywhere else in the world.

If that $65 included like 10-15mb/s up, I'd agree with you it's reasonable. But I don't see their plans as reasonable.

Wish Verizon would lay Fios faster near me.

Can the carriers see that someone is running a booster?

I know a few businesses' that run boosters inside (from hospitals to churches to office building) so cell works in the basement or in rest of building for the major 4 carriers (or 2 att/ver in some cases). So do they have to get permission from all 4 even if the company itself doesn't have a contract with any of the 4, it's for their employee's/visitors? And really how can they tell?

Truly curious about the tell part.

I thought it didn't even have a LTE antenna.

All prior research before buying claimed no LTE. But again doesn't matter to me either way.

  And a quick google search all claim it's a hack. Now reading some just a change in the APN. Looks like the upload speeds are still over fake 4g.

You do know the Nexus 4 doesn't have LTE right?

I just bought 2 (wife and myself). When I first talked about it she was like spend $600-700 for phones (ship+tax) but she was hating Tmobile service more and more. So i explained how even if we re-uped and got discounted phone the extra cost would be way more then the new phones.

And att/verizon were just too expensive with the required data plan for smart phones.

Since she's gotten it, she's come to me saying she wants to eat crow. She loves the phone. We also went with Net10 with an ATT sim. Her coverage has never been better (and yes there are complaints online about the unlimited data, but with wifi almost everywhere we never went over 500mb/month on any phone before) but she's just very happy with JB and how smooth the phone feels.

So we have a $85/month for 2 lines unlimited everything (knowing that data really isn't unlimited) and have been very happy. Lack of LTE means nothing to me as where I am there is no LTE on any carrier yet. And I'm getting 5-7MB/s on the Fake 4g anyways. Fast enough for me for maps and the occasional email when off wifi.

So I envy no one. I rooted mine first night just because I like to be root when I need it. And knowing I'll get updates direct from google, I'm very happy.

Don't most carriers provide this for you?

Tmo gave me mine Today, after this law was passed. Simple, easy, took a few hours to get an email for both my phones. Just incase I sell them.

Secondly, if you have a att phone why would you want to bring it to tmo, the 3g/fake 4g run on diff frequencies. Sure you could make phone calls/text but the data would be 2g/edge speeds. Fun times.

Just buy an unlocked phone to begin with. That way you know it's has more frequencies so it can go on either network.

(I do not know how verizon/sprint work and if you get full cababilities from Sprint to Ver and vice versa).

Man they stopped laying fios near Albany NY awhile back. Stinks, I'm about 10mile south of Albany and I think they stopped laying the west side of Albany. I'll probably never see competition for TWC for internetz.
