Ubuntu does have issues supporting GPUs on laptops. I can't get the geforce GPU of my Dell XPS 13 to work because of the power off option it has, Ubuntu doesn't have the proper drivers to support the gpu by default. You can install additional software for that, but then you have to start your software with a special command to use the GPU, which will then keep running, using a lot of power.
I have an XPS 13, I'm very happy with it, but if you don't need the small size, an XPS 15 is better. Doesn't come with Ubuntu, but that shouldn't be a problem.
There are two ways to speak a non native language : translate every sentence in your head and run into the problem you indicate, or master it without constantly translating
Actually, there's only one way. In the first option, you don't really speak the language.
I see companies in the future that offer new bodies to old people. I would love to have a 20 year old body with my 60 year old head. I would dump my hubbie and find a younger one.
Does this mean ISIS is doing science after all? Have we misjudged them? They can do half of this procedure, we just have to wait until they can do the other half.
If "parental content control" means your kids do not learn about sex, I'm opposed to it. In countries where people are ridiculously puritan (i.e., the US) the number of teen pregnancies is 20 times higher than in countries where people are relaxed about sex and nudity (i.e., the Netherlands). I have always supervised my kids, online and offline, but never installed "parental content control".
Hola internet is the most useful plugin. It helps me watch video's from the US, Canada and the UK that are limited to their respective countries. I wonder, I have BBC on my TV, I can rightfully watch any BBC program, but I can't use the service on the bbc web site to watch it a day later. With Hola, I can.
Blocking child pornography will mean that the general audience will not be aware of its existence, hence they will not put pressure on politicians to end child abuse. Blocking child porn is counter productive, that's a fact. This I say as one of the founders of www.meldpunt.org and www.inhope.org.
Right when I'm overtaking, my car decides to do an OTA update of it's software. The controls block for about ten seconds, during which time I careen into a truck coming from the opposite side. Will my insurance cover for that?
The language in 2115 will be the language of the first aliens that land on earth and colonize us because they're a million times more advanced than we are.
This issue is coming up every few weeks. Must be a hot topic for a lot of us.
My answer is the same, every time. I'm 60, I've been developing software for about 35 years, right now I make Android apps. I'm happy, and I think I'll stay in this business for one or two more decades.

You mean the ones that will probably never get hired because of their criminal record?
Why get hired when you've just been taught how to hack into bank accounts?

Sun Microsystems should not have allowed Netscape to name their new web page scripting language "JavaScript".

This was invented long ago, and it's called "Rearden metal".
Apparently, a person can be very smart and very stupid at the same time.

I have rotated both my monitors 45 degrees. So they're half landscape, half portrait: I see (some) long lines, and I see (bits of) a lot of lines.
