Along the same lines, I was wondering how would the Linux support would be, and duckduckgoing a bit, it seems that AMD has been pushing out kernel updates for some time. Looks promising. Some links for the lazyones.
I'm really rooting for AMD. Some of the first computers I used had K5/K6 chips, they were good, but still outperformed by the equivalent Pentiums. Later, many AMD processors for laptops suffered overheating problems (and all the laptops I wanted had Intel processors). Even though, as you say, competition is good and I'm really looking forward to getting an AMD-powered pc in the near future if there's a good enough one around.
Everyone here is bitching about privacy, but I wonder why on earth would you publicly broadcast your partner's labour over the internet. I mean, seriously, people has to stop mediatizing their moments. Just enjoy your life.
True. On the other hand, I think the Neo4J's license is inconvenient (AGPL/GPLv3), business-wise*. I'm considering to switch to ArangoDB or OrientDB (both APL).
How come "there is absolutely no reason"? What about tracking you more easily? or accessing not-related personal information? There are plenty of reasons. They're just not your reasons.
Don't blame Java for this. Or at least not entirely. I think it's the application's vendor who should fix this. They should have upgraded their applications to use Java Web Start instead of NPAPI-reliant applets. Besides, you can keep the Java plugin disabled and enable it only when you're gona use it, can't you?
A few years ago, I bought an LG Optimus P920 over the hype of 3D cameras. The hardware was good, but the stock OS was slow and buggy (not to mention the lack of updates), so I decided to root it and install Cyanogenmod. The difference was impressive, however, I had to install the firmware from some obscure shared file to make the radios to work. Sorrowful, I rolled backed everything and left the stock image. A few months later I replaced it with a nice Nokia N9.
why they would choose such a crude and limited form of communication
Actually that's pretty easy to explain. It depends on your audience. If you are targetting primitive civilizations like ours, you're not going to use an advanced type of communication, but some sort of alien Morse code (or something even simpler).
I understand that BC is not a "widely accepted" currency and odds are that you have to cash-in eventually, but the point of Bitcoin is to become an alternate way to ease the trade of goods and services, and it should be used like that. Trying to convert it into "real" money misses the point completely. I think that if people have bitcoins, they should use them only to replace conventional currency in their transactions, not to try to convert them.
You are grossly underestimating millenials. Entertaining them is like feeding pigs: It's a mess and they always want more waste. Youtubers are not going to disappear anytime soon. Maybe mutate, but not disappear.

A Nokia N900. It even has FM transmitter (it's not precisely bleeding-edge, but...)
You mean this Brazil?

* They provide OEM licenses for startups
Don't forget Jitsi, although screen sharing is still quite buggy.
FYI, KDE vs GNOME war is over. XFCE won.
Teach her to say profanities.

But I'm not sure that manipulating the weather (and later climate) patterns is a good idea in the long run.
Oh my God, I read CORBA and also wished that no one ever has to get their hands on that technology... again.

And the pool the said female sharks were swimming in is 3 football fields big.
Try Xombrero. It's Webkit, but it's pretty fast and has interesting features.
Yes, you are right, however what I meant is that there's a valid reason for an advanced civilization to use a "crude" form of communication.

As long as they put back all the indicator LEDs and physical kill switches they removed in the last versions. I'll wipe Windows off anyway.

If Jarvis were a female, I'd nominate Lucy Lawless to voice her. If the darn thing went crazy you'd know it's for real.
Telepathy exists
That's what princess Peachy was supposed to do. A Mexican princesa would have been more effective, though.
God, it's going to be an awfully big sales and marketing department.
