Personal desktop wiki that stores everything in flat text files, which can be stored somewhere like dropbox. My full review here: http://www.tidbitsfortechs.com...

They've lowered the street price of used laptops enough that I can buy a workable 15" laptop for $15 and install CrunchBang Linux on it and use it for everything I could need, save for gaming. The project that I did this with is working out beautifully, even using it for work:

Then again, Tablets Are Not Computers. Not yet, anyway.

Totally full of shit SUPRESSING posts that floored their points on many levels -> http://tech-beta.slashdot.org/story/13/12/17/180242/surviving-the-internet-on-low-speed-dsl WITH the source being -> http://www.tidbitsfortechs.com/2013/12/surviving-internet-on-low-speed-dsl/

So: How can I state that? Count the # of posts there (51 listed currently)!

(Then, how come you end up with ONLY 50??)

I'll TELL YOU WHY (& let the NUMBERS do the talking, & proving of my accusations):

I put up my usual post on hosts file value to there since it applies & yes, is superior on many grounds ( I posted its general points there vs. AdBlock &/or DNS especially - - explain that), & subassy (a poster there) LATER asked WHY hosts are not noted over AdBlock???

Oh, I'll tell ANYONE the answer to that query - geocrasher the article author "so-called 'expert'" KNOWS my points FLOOR HIS on DNS &/or Adblock - totally... & since he's resorting to that? He's weak & full of it... prove otherwise.

* Go figure - I had to post this for "posterities' sake", just to show others how DIRTY some "experts" are (especially when shown their 'expertise' is NOT that 'expert' @ all & it's WORSE than what this article's about... it's about SUPPRESSING valid useful technical information!).

P.S.=> However - THIS is exactly HOW I KNOW I am winning on hosts vs. AdBlock, DNS' shortcomings, RequestPolicy, etc. - otherwise, these wannabe expert DOLTS would debate my points & tear them up... funny, they can't, eh? Not... lol!

I'm loving all these coffee related posts lately.

Adblock plus to keep the ads out, Web of Trust (mywot.com) to keep them from clicking on garbage, and AutoHotKey to keep them from right clicking when they mean to left click and mess everything up. Old folks lose dexterity in their hands, and don't even realize they're right clicking. I fixed this issue with my Grandfather using AutoHotKey to make right click = left click, and then I mapped the + on his num pad to a right click so that the functionality is still there when needed. I detailed it here:

Seems relevant.
