I am eagerly looking forward to reading about how amazing the Windows phone is and how everyone should own one. Every time there is a Windows phone article there end up being more positive comments about the windows phone than there are real life window phone users.
There are paper and metal filters for the aeropress. The paper filters can get quite a few uses out of them before I have to toss it.
Never liked Keurig coffee and it seems that every office has one these days and most new hotels put them in the rooms. Even when Keurig was new and trying to pedal their wears in the mall I didn't really the enjoy the taste. This was even before I became a coffee snob.
Hey guys! You need to watch out for SARS, H1N1, H151, mad cow, swine flu, Ebola, Zika, etc! It's really dangerous.
When there is a real dangerous pandemic the idiots who cry wolf at the WHO and media will cause the untold deaths of millions.
For those of us in an infected area and are trying to conceive I say thank you for your thought-inspired wisdom. The caring you show for others is your gift to mankind.
Let me say one more thing.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I mean it. Without sarcasm like yours life would not be worth it.
Big deal. Try asking azure support about licensing and they will flat out say I don't know. Assuming you bugged them at least a half a dozen times about the same questions beforehand.
$109.. if you can believe Neweggs *already up* "Windows 10 Home"... http://www.newegg.com/Product/..... If MS is gonna give it away free to Win7/8 current users, *why* is NewEgg thinking people are going to pay *them* $109 for it... oh wait.. I think somebody famous once said "A sucker is born every minute".... Guess that answers THAT question...
If you mean sucker as in being a Windows user, unfortunately there are still many applications that require windows and MS Office.
If you mean sucker as in purchasing windows when it is "FREE" then you are mistaken. You and what seems like many bloggers seem to be sorely mistaken..
Microsoft isn't going to give me free licenses to run Windows in virtual machines or to upgrade copies of XP or Vista. Therefore, licenses need to be purchased.
It doesn't work that way.
Bank accounts require street addresses by law.
I live in a territory and I wouldn't have any U.S. based accounts if I didn't move from there.
I haven't ran into any issues and have never been asked to turn anything on when traveling international. . Sure, you get the random screening but get global traveler with Tsa precheck and it's super fast.
But if someone could tell me how my socket set was considered a potential weapon in china but none of my screwdrivers I'd appreciate it.
Fly more and get the nice seats and free checked bags!
Like Google has been doing with Android. Strip it down to it's core and then they release little things as apps.
I think there is a lot of stuff that gets installed automatically in Ubuntu that I would never use.
Most of my issues with ubuntu or it's variants have been with video and sound. Video seems to be greatly improved in 14.04 but now sound issues keep popping up.
I'm sticking to the LTS releases as well. I'm sick of having new bugs or even old bugs reappear with each update. I also gave up on Unity. Unity runs way too slow for me.
I'd like to see a cloud version of libreoffice. Yes, I do use Google Docs and LibreOffice. Yes, I have several clients that use both Libre and MS Office depending on the employee's needs.
However, google apps biggest bonus to me personally is that i can access it from anywhere and I don't need a computer to write a document in it. How about making LibreOffice accessible in a cloud situation?
You know what else is nice? Not having to install all this stuff. Just access it with a web browser from any device. Being able to do that with LibreOffice (even in a private cloud) might be something people would be interested in.
The main problem with getting one for older folk is screen size. It works fine for me and my kids, but big screens with large type is really useful. I'm sort of suprised Google didn't supply a "large print" option.
I've also seem complaints that while remote desktop to PCs is supported, remoting into the Chromebook is not. Anyone who's tried helping their nearly-deaf technology challenged parents over the phone understand the issue.
Thankfully, it appears Google is working on adding that particular feature.
I've been pushing family members to chromebooks for awhile now. Hook the thing up to an external monitor and they are happy.
I agree on the remote desktop issue. I can't remote in to some of them!
I have very very very expensive electricity costs. Do I save any electricity using a hybrid drive over a regular drive or just use SSD? The size of the drive is not important.
I just upgraded a few machines to 3.6.x of whatever was on the site this morning.
If they all are going to sleep in could they have at least put a message on the downloads page?!
chrome remote desktop is not compatible with the new Acer. Found that out the hard way. To compensate for this I did the share screen option in hangouts which allowed me to help someone get a new chromebook setup. It's weird but the video in hangouts works much better than skype for my area.
I absolutely love the chromebooks for consumers who don't need to do anything specialized on them.
Wonderful person?!
Do a quick google search about some of the interviews he has given or about WHY he moved to Belize.
He's not fighting corruption. He's fighting for his ego.
Virtualbox was my first hands-on experience with virtual machines. Easy to use and free. VMWare Workstation is really nice but pricey for home use. VMWare Player has worked in spots where Virtualbox has not. It was just one issue but it cost me a lot of wasted time.
Once you are comfortable with products like virtualbox or VMware workstation/player the next step would be something like Xen or ESX.
We had no problems with our move but this is what we did:
Itemized everything for customs. Numbered the boxes and then kept a sheet with what each box had in it.
I took out all my hard drives, put them in anti-static bags and carried them on the plane.
Any other electronics went into bags which were then put into boxes.
Desktop towers were wrapped up with bubble tape along with our tvs and monitors.
Spare laptops were also just placed in bags and then into boxes.
We moved almost no furniture but were able to fit 2 cars into the same container.
Everything made it in 1 piece. Nothing broke.
Bullocks. The USA is importing crude oil like mad, because refined gasoline is our biggest export. Refineries are insanely profitable. Compare the cost of crude now to what it was 5 and 10 years ago. US oil production has also gone up like mad the past five years.
Refineries are not all profitable. Ask Pennsylvania about their refineries or the one that just closed on St. Croix.
great customer service means not allowing you to use your hardware warranty because they can't verify it is a hardware issue because you don't have a software warranty so they can't diagnose it? You mean THAT great customer service?
I guess I am disciplined then. I got a tablet (touchpad) for the sole purpose of reading books and white papers(pdf). While I only recently hacked it to get android on it, the adobe reader and kindle app are sufficient. I definitely use my tablet more now that I get to use netflix on it.
Keep in mind, used books cost me 50 cents for paperback and $1 for hardcover at the humane society. Kindle books cost more than paper books(which is total bs) so I only buy books that I will be reading when I am traveling (50% of the time),
GET A TABLET! You can do so much more with it. That is all.
Hey, we understand that is the only groping you have going on your life but honestly, people who say they will choose death over a semi-naked picture being taken of them has no clue.
I fly a lot. I like my life and have no plans to choose a "fireball of death". The extra security is no big deal.

Wow..that was some bad English. I tried to write Microsoft should pay for any ISP overages caused by the downloads.
I'm out $30 due to cap overages because it kept screwing up the download process.
Compared to Windows 7 it is running much slower on a particular machine that I use and VMWare Vsphere client crashes constantly.

Yes, there is an app that was just released a few days ago but I didn't save the link.
