didn't have a lot of money. Bought a Thinkpad T420i off of ebay for $180 (came with 4 gb ram and a 160 ssd). Swapped the ssd for an extra 240 I had laying around and spent another ~$21 on another 4gb stick (this model only takes 8 gb).
Runs quite well. Linux Mint 18 (using cinnamon), customized the UI a little, usually run 2 workspaces with a VM in the 2nd one. It's actually more responsive than the pirate copy of Windows 8.1 the vendor included lol.
several local news channels say 1100 jobs are staying. The HVAC guys where I work say Carrier stuff is garbage. The wife says they were going to pay the Mexicans $3/hr with no benefits which was also on the local news.
and the browser is locked down garbage. I have it on my new Samsung TV and am seriously considering buying another Roku to use instead (because while that's also locked down at least it works reliably).
and they're trying to compete with Amazon and every other All-tailers and in doing so they're fucking awful now having diluted the one thing they were good at years ago.
It seems every retailer thinks they have to be everything now instead of specializing and doing something well.
He should have run as an independent after getting fucked by the DNC Hillary machine. Or started a new party Roosevelt style. Both the big 2 parties are run by corrupt as fuck sociopaths and supported by legions of get-rich morons under the pyramid scheme.
Lobbyists + Military Industrial Complex = Completely hopeless situation.
Do you know how many military people voted Trump for their pay checks and pensions? I'm guessing quite a few.
Oliver Stone has a good True American History series on either Netlfix or Amazon video forget which but I was transfixed with it all morning. He does a good job of disassembling American mythology surrounding our own past. Maybe he'll do one for the present.
it's just lopsided to the right nearly always. Even our "left" is mostly right. Obama was Bush in black face for the most part, yea he did some good things, and he did some really really bad things.
I was hoping that Trump would be so hated by his own party nothing would happen but I have to say nearly every subsequent headline sounds like a legacy of pain - raping the FCC that was finally doing the right thing is just the newest set of overwhelming stupid washing over the US.
Democrats are as much for blame for putting up someone nearly as hated. Trump has the lowest likeability of *ANY* president elect in history. Read about it on theintercept.com I'm tired.
raping everyone else and have no competition. Where I'm at, in Indianapolis, I'm already paying ~$70 for less than 10% of that speed with a cap... The only other option here is Uverse which is even worse and not fast enough for me.
These are all from the last week or so and mostly from the hacked emails. Oldest first. Yes these people go after Trump too but as far as I'm concerned has no chance in hell anyway.

You're in The Matrix only instead of body heat they want your thoughts via the actions you take.

this on things. Varied results. Some things die, some don't, some have odd shit happen in between.
We're already getting emails about these from our managers forwarded from other districts. They're scared.
recognizes outlets like Faux News don't have reporters =)
even our "left" is essentially right-of-center, see Obama/Billary.
I guess I assumed they had gentrified the fuck out of the place to get rid of the "normals", you know, like in NYC.

but, how is this news? You can Shift + F10 to get a CLI using a Windows 10 install disk locally too (written, on Windows 10, at work).

because of their shitty customer service. You can find comparable pricing if you look around a bit (bhphotovideo/amazon/sometimes fry's,etc).

Did I read that right? I think some class action lawyer cocks are straining at their dress slacks.

just like other dumb shit like removing CMOS batteries in HP Stream "laptops".
all we need is an alien bug invasion to make "Starship Troopers" a reality. What's doogie howser up to these days anyway? Psychic warfare research?
REAL journalists:

Hillary Clinton Sympathized with Goldman Sachs over financial reform.
What Major Donors like Goldman Sachs want from the Democratic Party (they also fucking hate Elizabeth Warren - shock.)
Hillary Clinton repeatedly Praised Wal-Mart in paid speeches This bitch knows who signs her checks and kisses heavy amounts of ass accordingly.
Clinton aide PLANTED ANTI-BANK COMMENTS in a paid speech to throw off reporters.
Democrats trying to work out how to pass huge corporate tax cuts. If you read it's essentially the same thing Trump wants. Remember: same corporate hand, different puppets.
BONUS: Hillary Clinton's encryption proposal impossible. Because she wanted secure communication between people that could still be monitored by the gov't.
For the record I think Bernie Sanders / Elizabeth Warren would have been the dream team. Fuck Hillary and Trump both.
PS. In case you didn't know The Intercept = Glenn Greenwald = Snowden's choice for disclosure. They're good guys.
Then the witch hunt begins to ruin that persons life either financially (court, unemployable after), through jail time, or both.
They *WILL* sacrifice someone innocent or not, nobody knows who did it isn't acceptable to the gov't.
Requiring a 3rd party account and software to access your purchased game is in fact DRM.
It's also probably the biggest distributor of PC games so pretty much a necessity for anyone trying to make money.
It also provides convenience and discounts and the slowly growing only alternative PC gaming platform to Windows.
I have an old account with a lot of games but I can't help pointing out the irony of tooting your DRM free horn on Steam forums.
I can't find any solid evidence of them EVER doing that?
A quick search shows something from the pentagon in 2010 which also has myth debunking stuff saying that never happened.
and very sad that 4chan is considered the last bastion of free speech on the fucking internet.
before I posted already. You deserve +5 Informative.
