I had someone behind me playing Angry Birds for the entire 3 hour flight I was on a year or two ago. He had the noise turned up rather high (apparently high enough to irritate me but not others -- perhaps the speakers on his device aimed my way). I asked him if he could please turn the sound down. He said no, and continued what he was doing. People are really awful.
What I find crazy is they tell people to wear crap shoes so they won't have a minor inconvenience at security. Nice try. If I have to walk on a torn up wing, I'm not wearing flip flops.
I don't run Windows. Is something supposed to still be happening? I don't really see it -- it frequently speeds up to the 2.5GHz it's supposed to.
As for the speakers, I think I disagree. The D620 was mono. The speakers aren't great on this thing (sometimes I notice they're too quiet) but at least it's stereo.
Not much else I like about the E6420 though. I preferred the E6410 but I was too late.
I ran into this upgrading from a D620 to an E6420. I just assumed the screen would not be shittier than the one it replaced and actually had to go back and change the order when I noticed how bad the screen specs were on the new laptop. I also would have bought the smaller size but there's no decent screen even available.
I don't have time to respond to every inaccuracy in these last two posts, but there are many of them -- for example, KDE4 is nicer looking than MacOS X by quite a bit. However, my main point is that using fucking and goddamn in every sentence doesn't make your bending of the facts or passing off opinion as fact any more correct/gravitas.
On the other hand, for printers Linux supports, it's actually EASIER to configure them than on Windows. I plugged in a shitty $50 inkjet once and it completely added itself, including picking the right driver: zero user intervention. I've had the same experience with finding printers on mDNS and getting something to come out of them. I actually gave up and printed something for a Windows user on my laptop because we couldn't get the Windows driver to print properly.
KMyMoney is decent. I've never used Quicken proper, but for what I'm doing I've never wanted for more features really. I'm cheap though so I use my dad's copy of the desktop edition of TurboTax, which this year is so shitty that it doesn't even run in VirtualBox (just about every piece of software I've ever run works fine in a VM).
Lately I have been having trouble with the Acrobat plug-in on Firefox under Linux (sometimes loads, sometimes a black or white blank screen). Chrome is my fallback.
I don't understand what difference it makes what kind of person the person delivering an important message is. I mean, I do, but I can't come up with a reason that doesn't make the person with that attitude a whiny bitch.
What shall we do with our ski slopes? Mountain Bike park I guess is what they do in the summer, and something called lawn skiing which sounds farfetched to me.
I have been to these neighborhoods, and I know what it can be like, and you need to shut up. When you've been getting fucked over since the 1960's or earlier by white folks, perhaps you can understand the skepticsm towards white folks in their midst. Perhaps when the wage gap or education gaps are closed, you can start whining about how inner-city people treat you.
Because it already IS that way (look at who gets the death penalty for killing whom) and the point of this is to try to have things a little more just. Not ideal, but quit acting like the world is suddenly colorblind and that solves all of the problems. People only talk about colorblindness/etc. when suddenly it's the majority losing a privilege they've had.
This has nothing to do with his death, which possibly would have happened either way.
I don't think I would have checked for webcams in college, not that they were popular (though my Indy had one). While his roommate and he might not have gotten along that well, I don't know if he should have known he'd be spied on. Besides which, HE IS NOT ON TRIAL. Auto-victimology? You are BLAMING the victim. Straight-up idiotic.
Ad-hominem? It is very likely that this guy would not have spied on his roommate if the rendez-vous was with a girl. Ravi made it very clear that this was such an event to him because this was two men. Read the things he said.

Most accidents happen on takeoff or landing, and most survivable ones involve runway overruns. They are not exactly slowly unfolding events.

Didn't you ever play Oregon Trail?
The dumber we are, the easiest it is to keep power over us. There's been a steady attack on the public schools here for years.

Yeah, it's so easy, but unemployment is at historic highs and school is FUCKING EXPENSIVE.
Seriously, die off so the rest of us can grow up.
Yes. I am feeding the troll.

Yeah, we had snow in October and that's basically it where I live.

I've seen plenty of people kiss. Some of them have been men. Kissing is not that uncommon. Note that making out is not what was said originally.
We will have to disagree. I'm reasonably certain he would not have. The fact that he was gay is clearly what made it a big deal to Ravi.
Clearly someone does not understand the meaning of the word redundant.
69% earned it according to a study. 6% completely inherited it, and the remainder was a mixture. That's not exactly "only a couple of wealthy families."
