    The question is really quite simple.
    Do you believe in science?

    It doesn't really matter if you do, it works REGARDLESS.

    So, basically the question is, are you ignorant?

    1-4 number of screens at the same time, depending on how much you pay (you also get higher res the more you pay).
    At least in Sweden.

    They are supposed to be used in the same household though, which is the thing which is generally seen as mooching when families whom have moved apart still use only one login.

    The more you use an SSD, the faster it goes bad.
    So it's not an ideal thing to do.

    Ever heard of defragmentation?
    This will ruin this little scheme.

    What MIGHT work is a dedicated partition.

    Still, this is in fact, already done by all disks which don't give you exactly a ^2 exponent since they leave some cells to be able to move data around...

    No sane person is claiming linux is a better gaming platform.

    However, is it good enough to let you play more games than you ever have time to finish unless you have absurd amounts of game time?
    Hell yes.

    And it's getting better every day.

    This is actually handled by feminist theory, as well as race theory.

    The principal, true or false (I'm somewhat ambivalent about the whole thing) is that you can only be racist/sexist towards an oppressed class, because that is a structural issue and problem.

    It's basically the idea that punching down is never okay, while punching up is fine.

    The argument is a collectivist one, meaning, it's okay to make the lives of individuals worse as long as it promotes greater equality overall.

    The LBTQ movement in general only fully respects homosexuals.
    Bisexuals are somewhat shunned.
    Transsexuals are almost as reviled as by most of society.
    Queer are generally not understood.

  12. Intel is by far the single company writing most of the linux kernel.
    Nr 1: Intel 12.9%
    Nr 2: Red Hat 8.0%
    The rest are 4% or under, while about 15% can not be attributed to companies.

    Meaning, a lot of those man-hours ARE intel man-hours, especially since they primarily focus on making their own hardware work well in linux...

    I don't feel up to digging up studies, but, the point generally being made is not over a single day or even a week.
    It's that over time, 6 hour is the most productive amount of time to spend per day.

    When you push beyond that, you get slightly more tired and work slightly less efficient overall.

    Myself, I've noticed that a 12-13 hour day works fine when needed, with high results as long as you get to avoid annoying distractions.
    But the days after are slow-burning to compensate.

    Also, in reality, how many people actually focus on work for 8 hours during an 8 hour work day?
    "startup phase" When you get to work and coming back from lunch plus "oh, only 10 minutes until next meeting/time to leave" add up to easily two hours a day in my experience. Especially if you count in stupid meetings.

  14. The reason they want to avoid encrypted files is to avoid the issues around dedup and encrypted files.
    The reason their service is so cheap is that they can use dedup very extensively, especially when people are storing the same documents.
    This is way harder to do with encrypted files.

    Out of curiosity, which part did you think you didn't comply with?
    The regulations are basically:
    Tell the user what data s/he stores and why.
    Let the user decide if you are allowed to keep the data, unless there is a valid reason to keep it.
    Don't lie about what you store.

    Honestly, that is about it.

    The fees?
    They come after EU tells you to stop what you are doing and you refuse to comply...

    Total value is not defined as how much value you yourself derive from it.

    For instance, the inventor of the wheel probably didn't get proportional value for inventing it.

  21. Stop assuming people are rational.
    Everything counts.

    If there are 3 other people of roughly the same skill as you and they will have a slightly higher risk not to take you seriously based on a silly picture?
    That can hurt you.

    Of course, they can also find it endearing and not hire you.

    My point is that personal marketing MATTERS.

  22. Surprisingly little actually.

  23. X250 (and x260) has got:
    1: Chiclet keyboard (you get used to them after a while and they are not THAT horrible).
    2: Thinkpad nub.
    3: High resolution matte screen.
    4: Easy to open bottom, haven't tried replacing/upgrading yet.
    5: Decent port selection (2 usb, ethernet, displayport, vga, card reader).
    6: One external, one internal battery, and, yes, hot swap is possible.
    7: I shut off the trackpad, so I don't know if it would be annoying otherwise.
    8: Weight is 2.88 pounds for standard model.

    Bahnhof are a bunch of pranksters.
    They do care about personal integrity though, since it's basically their USP.

    I did work there for a while, didn't really like the culture.

    But, yeah, this is a publicity stunt, which is what brings in customers to them.

    They have also criticized what is basically a tax on television by creating a fake tv-channel and lots of other stuff.

    They mock the judicial system when it's outdated or just weird regarding IT.
