Go by the screen size, not the actual size. The screen borders are smaller than most laptops, so it make the laptop a bit smaller, but you still get the same size screen.
And just to add to your argument, I did more camping as a kid than anyone I know and both me and my father share LOTS of environmental allergies. It's also been shown that prolonged exposure to certain things (like cut wood and cats) can *induce* allergies that were never present before.
Nut and Peanut allergies are actually very rare to find in the same persion since peanuts are not actually nuts (they are beans). I know a person who is allergic both, but most people with food allergies are either allergic to peanuts, or the other nuts (cashews are also not a nut, so they are probably safe).
https://www.system76.com/laptops/ both those have centered trackpads. The x220 (which I have) runs archlinux fine (save for having to add 1 line to rc.local.shutdown if you use laptop-mode-tools), but the x220 does have a windows tax.
I used to do that, but found it to be pointless these days. Organizing the stuff is one thing, but deleting is basically pointless unless you can automate it. 300GB may seem like a job well done, but with 3TB drives for $100 these days, you just saved yourself $10 worth of harddrive space and it probably took you a few hours.
My current setup is to have everything on my server box and simply copy over what I need to my laptop as I need it and NFS/SSHFS the rest of it on the fly when home.
Yeah, it's never your own government that makes jobs for you. They're building a brand new bridge 10 lane bridge near the city where I live (Port Mann Bridge). The government claimed it would use the project as a source of new jobs for local Canadians, but it barely did. The whole bridge (save the 2 towers in the middle) are pre-fab pieces that are basically assembled like cable-tensioned lego. EVERY one of those pre-fab pieces is brought on a truck, from the U.S. Well, at least they made jobs for SOMEBODY!
And even if he GOT super-fast broadband speeds, his upload would still suck donkey balls. I can get 20Mb down, but can barely push 460Kb up. That's about 2.25% of my download speed! Shaw Cable in Lower Mainland BC btw.
Meh, we used what we had. The cool thing about using the PDA's though was that they also had IrDA *in* so we only needed about 3 minutes with a teacher's remote to program an entire new set of codes into it.
Why are you combining 100GB and 3TB drives? First of all, the 3TB drive is litterally 30 times the size (giving you a space increase of 3%). Second of all, the 100GB is probably fairly old, so shouldn't even be trusted as stable. You are going to spend more on the ATA adapter for that drive than the value of the space it provides. Currently a 3TB drive costs about $100, that's $0.03/GB which means that 100GB drive is worth... wait for it... $3. Sata to IDE adapters run about $9 a piece.
I've been in the same situation, it was only a year ago that I was running on multiple 10GB drives and an old 120GB laptop drive because I only had IDE in my server. So I went to newegg and got a low powered an E350-onboard-cpu motherboard (doesn't even need a fan) for $130, 8GB of ram (I use ZFS) for $50 and a 2TB drive for $70 (drives have gone up since then, but not terribly high) and threw the thing into an old case with a cheap power supply. That's basically an entire system with about 15 times the storage space as my old one for $250 shipped to my front door and the system can take 5 more drives without so much as an expansion card.
I remember some of the guys in highschool had an application on their IrDA-enabled PDA's that let them use them as a TV remote. No TV in the school was safe:)
It's actually fairly easy to get fully supported hardware these days. You rarely even have to check part numbers, just avoid certain brands. For instance, ATI graphics are bad right now, Nvidia and Intel work nearly flawlessly. Broadcom used to be bad, but they're MUCH better now. Unless you're looking for SLI and optical audio, just avoiding ATI graphics and obscure wireless cards should get you a 100% working machine 99% of the time.
Most "my hardware stopped working after upgrade" reports we get are for hardware that's about 5-10 years old (radion 7000 era) when neither Nvidia nor ATI were releasing ANY kind of specs/drivers for anything. Newer hardware is usually supported on linux BEFORE windows these days! Even 3g sticks work out of the box (except Rogers because they don't follow specs).
If you need help selecting hardware, your ubuntu loco (via IRC, mailing list, in person, etc) are more than happy to guide you through it and give some pointers. They'll usually even check for you if you give them a model number.
Oh my god, THANK YOU. I remembered playing that game as a demo like 10 years ago and couldn't for the life of me remember the name. Pyro was a *bitch* in the demo!
Second of all, there's still a lot that HASN'T changed. The overall shape and layout of the inside of the cockpit, cabin, seats, bathrooms, cooking area, etc probably haven't changed a whole lot. For instance, how accurately do you think a computer can REALLY simulate a lunch cart being hurled down an isle with a few people standing in it?
It is much easier to create a problem and then solve it than it is to solve an imaginary problem. If they don't catch terrorists, they will lose funding. Solution: Create a terrorist. Problem is, they arent able to create believable ones.
Oops, forgot that that's 2 way, so double those figures. But still, even at shaw's rediculous $2/GB overage fees, that's only $4/month for using your phone an hour a day or 15 cents/hour.

People will not stop trying to blow up planes just becasue the TSA is abolished.
Right, that's why the terrorirst are constantly blowing up American subways, ferries and stadiums. Wait...

In all fairness, they never said biggere ones *don't*, just that the small ones *do*.

It actually comes with TWO!

Only while you maintain your subscription. The VHS tapes we bought 15 years ago still work fine to this day.

That was actually pretty popular here in Vancouver as well during 2010. LOTS of locals left the area for a few weeks that winter.
Seeing as how they are being installed on RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS in the middle of TOWNS, getting "close" shouldn't be all THAT difficult.

Unless precision is a scoring factor, that's probably the best strategy!
The only time I see "art" on television is when a company uses a picture of the Mona Lisa in their advertisement.
You forgot being able to watch as many times as you like.
