Yup. Speeds like this mean that "cloud" based storage everyone keeps going on about and true offsite backups of your entire HD reasonable for the average person. No more buying bunches of HDs and worrying about raid on my desktop either. Just a super fast SSD and mount my 10TB drive hosted on google or amazon or wherever.
It's a tablet. Short of mangling the aspect ratio to make yours a unique shape how do you go about doing this? You have a screen, you put your electronics behind the screen, you try to minimize buttons/case size as much as possible... you do this and any table becomes hard to distinguish from an ipad unless you paint it hot pink or something.
Couple things. I haven't used Ubuntu for years but you are correct as far as I know that there is no right-click type menu option to use gksudo. You didn't deserve to be modded flamebait but most will disagree with you even though your opinion of the way Ubuntu handles root was a common reaction back in the day when Ubuntu was still new. Ubuntu is in the end primarily a distro for average desktop users. Most of these users are never going to need to manually edit a config file that isn't under their home directory. If a step like that is needed it is safer to include a tutorial that has a "type sudo specific_command" step rather than a step that has them jumping into a root shell. All common tasks like installing Java are available using the gui tool for package management.
There is a big difference between harrassment / unwanted attention and a relaxed atmosphere where everyone looks forward to coming to work, considers everyone friends and jokes and banter back and forth throughout the day. I can't tell from the summary if it is the former or the latter he is concerned about and is just worried about people being hyper sensitive to the latter.
You've obviously never spent much time in low-rent area laundromat. I can assure you I've heard conversations between people on this subject. It's sad but this goes on all the time. Well I can't really say that I know that... I know that 10+ years ago when I spent time in such places this went on all the time.
There are a number of things that an employer must pay even if they do not pay their employee 'benifits'. Take for instance the 12% of the employees income that is taxed with the employer taking the first half out before it reaches the employees check and then the employee paying the other 6% themselves.
Iran is directly responsible for the deaths of many many US troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan though I agree that doesn't rise to the level that would cause us to go to war with them. If you don't think the Persians have ambitions of empire though I have a bridge to sell you.
I'm not so concerned with Iran using nukes directly. My concern is that they tend to be behind a good deal of the guerrilla/terrorist type activity in the region (syria, iraq etc). My biggest concern this is a portable nuke handed off to a jihadist group that proceeds to make it's way toward Europe or the states. How reasonable a concern is that? I'm not sure at this point.
I don't know if Iraq had any sophisticated WMDs or not. I know they had very primitive means they'd used in the past to deliver chemical weapons and did have some stockpiles of said chemicals but Obama's Director of National Intelligence (James Clapper) has claimed that Sadam had WMDs shipped to Syria before the invasion. Just google his name and you'll get articles about this. Honestly I could care less about it but I thought I'd point out that there is far from a consensus on WMDs in Iraq at the time of the US ground assault.
Respectfully, this and the other comments above yours are largely untrue. You only have to look at a time line of NK or Iran actions regarding nuclear armament over the past 20-30 years to see that this had little directly to do with US behavior over this past decade. The very idea that countries had to have it pointed out to them that being a nuclear power is a very effective hedge against foreign invasion is really pretty nonsensical.
I'm going to assume that you don't have a real 'career' type job yet. Everyone has to let off a little steam during the day and some of us practically live at the office working 10-14 hours. No one actually 'works' 8-10 hrs a day. Your mind needs breaks. If my employer has a policy that I find objectionable but isn't strictly illegal then thats fine they have that right. I also have the right to point it out and to complain about it being stupid and potentially opening them up to tremendous liability.
Not sure I follow what you are saying. Get a college degree and raise your IQ? Or are you saying Russians have a higher percentage of college graduates because they have a higher average IQ than other nations? I don't think either is accurate because from what I can find Russia actually averages slightly (an insignificant amount) below US is IQ scores. So... I disagree.
You have a right to free speech that the GOVERNMENT cannot infringe upon. This has nothing to do with a company policy. If I start a business and tell my workers that I only hire people that wear red shoes, in my opinion I should be able to fire anyone at any time I see outside the office wearing a pair of white sneakers. Compelling someone to employee someone just feels fundamentally wrong.
This bill was the definition of bipartisanship and steered to the presidents desk by none other than Ted Kennedy. It is a perfect example of why compromise so often leads to complete crap (another being the health care legislation). I agree that GWB should never have signed the bill. I don't mean this too harshly but most of the rest of your comment reads as flame bait.
From what I can find on average federal funding accounts for 10% or less (sometimes as low as 6%) of the budget for most states so my vote would be yes.
Thats true but while I admit I don't really play any console games these days I would assume load times are going to begin to be a factor. This would seem to me to be a major advantage of external flash or solid state drive in the console.
Interesting article (ok it's USATODAY but still) about the real deficit this year. Note that the number is FOUR times the officially reported number... http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/story/2012-05-18/federal-deficit-accounting/55179748/1
I think we have a little bit more than a few edge cases where programs are not pulling their weight. I don't know what else to say to try to get through to you. The official number is INSANE and if the real number is FOUR times the official number we are well and truly screwed.
Yeah I did a double-take when I read about the codec free version as well. After a while I guess a community forms and it becomes it's own distro instead of an Ubuntu with a different gtk theme. I think the impetus for installing Mint has grown to include a desktop environment that isn't Unity. I never really understood the rational for having a new distro to provide codecs that are a package install away in Ubuntu but I can understand having a new distro with support for a polished Gnome 2 or 3 out of the box... though I'm not sure why you wouldn't just do a Gubuntu or something instead of Mint.
I tried Mint as a distro for a few of my relatives. I never really 'got' Mint but other than some codecs that are installed by default I don't think the newbie experience would be much better or worse than Ubuntu or one of the Ubuntu flavors. I believe that if you try to play something in Ubuntu it will issue a message that you don't have installed and do you want to install it yes/no... Really it comes down to if you prefer Mint's custom Gnome 3 desktop environment (I don't) or would prefer Ubuntu's Unity (I don't), Xubuntu (I do) or Kubuntu desktop environments.
In short they're basically all the same with the same Debian style package management so burn a few livecds and see which graphical environment you like. If you want an everything works distro go with any of either of em. If you want to learn about Linux.. install Arch.
It doesn't really matter if they don't tax Amazon or a similar company at all. If Amazon provides 5000 jobs in a city and pays everyone a crap wage of 20k a year that is what 100,000,000 of taxable income just on the income tax of the employees. That doesn't even count the increased buying power and boon to local businesses like restaurants etc. It also doesn't count all the local contractors necessary for the running of a large operation. I personally think states (especially California) should be examining why they aren't more competitive across the board instead of making these deals but I very much doubt the city would be in the red on this. It seems to me any way you slice it to be a great boon to the local economy.
In Iran what we normally think of as evidence has little to do with it typically. They seem to rely much more heavily on confessions than evidence in trial and pretty much everyone in Iran knows the confessions they get are a joke. Basically you are imprisoned, tormented until you confess and they tell you exactly what to confess and who else to implicate. They then broadcast these confessions and the average Iranian rolls their eyes because they know they are a joke but there's nothing anyone can do.
You're not saying "this is crap". You're saying that you do not think being tired and lethargic all day would impact the rate a which a person metabolizes food to the degree that it would impact their weight. It appears they have some numbers that might disagree with you.
I believe the eye witnesses the police questioned at the time the incident occurred and it was determined it to be self defense and the bloody photos of his head lend a bit more credence to his side of the story than you are suggesting..

He can just blame Bush since this program began before his presidency.
