I was using $50 Android phone (512mb ram, 4gb flash, Android 6.0) for 2 years and it was surprisingly usable. When done right, it was even fast but you had to develop for it, knowing that app will run on slow phone and optimize accordingly. I even made 3d racing game that ran 50fps on it (https://youtu.be/okg61OOFUdQ). The only issue was crapware that could not be uninstalled so I was constantly low on storage. I'm still using that phone as spectrum analyzer and 2 channel signal generator.

I mean, err, Fuck Beta

I fully aggree, fuck beta

You forgot to "fuck beta"

That's exactly why REAL time machine only change time, not space.

I measure it in HURD releases

I recently found this to be good source of main world information, especially if you read it 2-3 days delayed. Clean short description of what is happening in the world. Without ads.

> I am surprised by this part: last time I tried with a Win7 Pro laptop, I was able to use my own license number (the one on the sticker on the laptop case) with another Windows setup disc, without having to purchase a new license!

Does typing in your licence number wipe out all the OEM crapware? I don't think so...

For illiterates like you, there is video in the first link mentioned in the summary

You misspelled "traitor"

> If you post a comment that general user base of slashdot likes, it will be modded up. If you post a comment, even a really insightful and interesting one that the general user base doesn't like, it will be modded down.

So you are proposing change in moderating system, that will cause more comments that I don't like to appear on slashdot? Wtf is wrong with you? I go here because I like comments here.

It was clean boot, no suspend. By ENTER I meant enter in grub menu.
