You can at least try it and if that doesn't work, ramp up your work again.
Been freelancing for over 3 years now. Working from home is good and bad. Great in bad weather and to save money (gas/lunch). Bad when you can't seem to let go of work. Have times where I feel like I need to be working if I am at home. So then to relax I leave the house and waste money.
I tried it recently in the last month or so and found something that stopped me in my tracks. Can't remember exactly what it was, as I tried quite a few email clients in a short time.
Two of the things that usually got me to stop were: Can't change the sort order in the inbox. I want latest at the bottom. Can't re-order the row in the mailbox. I want the sender before the subject.
Until I find something better, I have Thunderbird, mutt, and K-9.
Had a case of a drive-by shooting where one of the defendants claimed she was not involved with any gang/gang-like activity. Investigator for DA's office found her FB/MySpace account that had pictures of the defendant pointing/handling firearms and wearing gang colors.
People put stupid shit on social media. I am not saying that businesses shouldn't be able to check, just saying that it isn't that weird that people post shit on social media.
Look at any random asshole things that Shuttleworth has done and the clean up that Jono Bacon at the time would try to clean up.
There was a discussion on OMGUbuntu where I (and others) got attacked by multiple users because we didn't jump on the "Let's gut linux and forget anything history has taught us" bandwagon. I should have taken screenshots, but I didn't think about it at the time. We tried to have a reasonable conversation and got attacked to a level that broke the Ubuntu CoC. It was then that I realized the Ubuntu community was not the place for me.
This wasn't the first thing that bothered me about the Ubuntu community, but it is the one that broke the proverbial camel's back. That said, I have met some nice people in the Ubuntu community, but my experiences with the larger community have been bad.
I don't care for the Ubuntu community, so I will look at other options before going back to it.
It has been years, but I was so turned off by my interactions with other Ubuntu users and the Ubuntu mouthpieces that I still have a bad taste in my mouth from it.
Not a full time Fedora user, but looking for something that has a good combo of stability and newer software. Now that the version is out of pre-release, I will give it a good test run.
I remember complaining about his articles until the Hellmouth stuff happened (the Columbine shooting and the following hysteria from mass media). He seemed to really listen to what younger people were saying at the time instead of telling us what we were saying.
He seemed to "get it" and quick to translate was school administrators and lawyers were proposing into something that the younger people understood.
I also read his book Geeks and found it really interesting. The view of someone from outside of the small town geek bubble describing the story makes me look back at my younger years differently.
I can't say he was my favorite slashdot editor, but I won't say anything bad about his time at slashdot now that I can look back on it with the filter time gone by.
I support Surface Pro2s and up at work. One client is an office that is running AutoDesk on Surface Pro 2/3 models.
We also have a technical sale company that uses Surfaces for sales people and engineers.
I don't care for them and find them to have a few quirks, but the users like them. Or they say that do after convincing their company to shell out the money for the Surface and dock.
One thing we did get complaints about is the decrease in battery life of a Surface Pro 4 compared to a Pro 3.
We similar with phones. Feature phones got smaller and smaller and then with the coming of smart phones we are reversing direction and they are getting bigger and bigger.
The difference between what was called a phablet and today's flagship phones is nil.
I need something big enough to use comfortably more than I need something something small.
I had used Wunderlist on and off for a bit to be able to get a visual of what needed done and help prioritize things I needed to accomplish. Once Wunderlist was bought I just uninstalled and said good bye as I knew it wouldn't last or would end up needing dependencies that I didn't want to install (i.e: become part of office).
Now I just vi a text file on a server that I can access via the internet.
Think of how much progress could have been made on Wayland if the effort that was put into Mir has been added to efforts on Wayland.
I remember when Mir was getting started that many wondered why Canonical put the effort into Mir instead of contributing to more universal projects. Looks like Canonical is reaping what it sowed by starting its own projects instead of just working on existing projects.
While I think Canonical's intentions with Unity and Mir were not as benevolent as they portrayed, have to remember that even FOSS projects that fail often provide wisdom (of what doesn't work), code and experience that is beneficial to the FOSS community as a whole.
Dilaudid was the only thing that made the pain go away. Vicoden ES would work to take the edge off enough to function.
Didn't try morphine or oxycontin until I was being treated for cancer, so not sure how it does for stone.
Found out I had a parathyroid adenoma. Had one of my parathyroids removed and the stones went away for quite some time. I still get small ones, but nothing that requires a doctor's care.
Slashdot Mirror
If it is not "confidential or sensitive", why do I get a 404 now?
Looks like someone changed their mind.
They have a Linux time tracker.

We don't need Russian or Chinese companies to open Americans' devices to foreign governments, Cisco is doing a good job by themselves.
They did this to Matt DeHart.

Is the Feds can ban Kaspersky and Huawei for not being secure for US government usage, perhaps Intel chips should be banned for use in government use.
Oh yeah, Intel is a US company, they can't do that now.
Anyone mind sharing a valid API key?
Some of remember the old IBM Deathstar drives.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
IBM sold their hard drive business and it has become HGST now. Weird how that is now reliable brand.
Wife worked for a county DA's office at one time.
Had a case of a drive-by shooting where one of the defendants claimed she was not involved with any gang/gang-like activity. Investigator for DA's office found her FB/MySpace account that had pictures of the defendant pointing/handling firearms and wearing gang colors.

Updating right now.
Not a full time Fedora user, but looking for something that has a good combo of stability and newer software. Now that the version is out of pre-release, I will give it a good test run.
Just look at Coursera, EdX, Code School, and others.
Are they free? No, but neither is Netflix or Hulu.
If only I had a beowulf cluster of the posts.

I love paying each month for the ability to mod you trolls into the dirt.
It is the single thing that brings a smile to my face any more.

What books? I got some secret agent type books that had code in them?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I loved the few I read even though I didn't have a computer to enter the code into.
Dilaudid was the only thing that made the pain go away. Vicoden ES would work to take the edge off enough to function.

After 20+ kidney stones, I would give this a try.
I believe currently the only place able to take federal nuclear waste is WCS in Andrews, Texas.

Course nuclear weapons are assembled and disassembled near Amarlillo, Texas at the Pantex plant.

The reason everything in Texas is big is all of the radiation.
