You can just print a Powerpoint into a PDF file. No more LibreOffice viewing issues and it makes it easier to read and transmit to your victims/readers.
I think Gnome 3, Unity and so on are meant to work on Intel graphics, such as on many laptops. Have anything else? Feel lucky if that works, or get lost if you don't have the "right" kind of hardware.
On another note, I suspect the constant push for gun ownership benefits the gun/rifle and ammo industries, sale of gun safes etc. I'm just mentoning it there since I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned in web discussions. Useless survival gear has some place in this too. A lot of naked fear-based consumerism comes alongside the prison-security complex that thrives in the same climate of fear. Note that yiu can dial down on that and still have hunting rifles, hiking, fishing etc. There are countries where handguns basically are banned but with lots and lots of hunting rifles (and perhaps tons of WW1 shit etc. but I doubt that stuff is in working order)
Indeed I remember the.gz files to be quite a problem in/usr/share/doc : when you don't know yet about zcat and zless it's a pain, you may decompress a copy or decompress in place as root, unless trying to gunzip to stdout/in. This makes getting help more difficult that it need be - and you rarely find help in there but sometimes there is. Finding about zless may happen by chance after years of using linux/*nix. E.g. by watching a greybeard use it. How about a file in/usr/share/doc named HOWTO or README.1ST, and more common documentation?
I stand corrected then. Nothing too wrong with these, I suppose they have useful CPU grunt for web browsing. True that you can slap Android on most any hardware and move inventory.
Atom now have Quicksync (in Braswell and later). What a future NAS may have is an Atom that uses hardware acceleration to transcode that video. Also, before you had that weird requirement Atom was an upgrade over embedded ARM that was too slow just to push files over gigabit.
Bay Trail belong to the desktop line of Atom chips, that's right Atom tablets don't use a specific "tablet" version of Atom. The reporting is weak, as is now usual. What's really killed of is Atom for smartphones. Say good bye to Atom x3/x5 too at least. In other terms, everything that targeted Android is cancelled, what you won't be able to have is an Android x86 tablet, for which there is no market anyway. New 14nm desktop/laptop Atom will be launched in H2 2016 and tablets will simply have to use that.
In fact, with Android x86 hardware you might have found yourself stuck, only able to run Android variants. I'd say nvidia Tegra makes more sense, as it is rather PC-like.. even though it's using ARM. It wouldn't fit your use case, what it may do instead is to run real linux. Tegra is not viable in tablets either, but it does not matter : it's now hardware for car dash, plane cockpit etc. that happens to be thrown together in a tablet as a showcase piece and niche product. x86 tablets may live on as low end netbook/laptop hardware in a tablet, and most ARM tablets are kind of smartphone hardware in a tablet.
Two reasons for skin(s) : to have something that looks good/readable, and to display a lot more songs in the playlist. It's made so that you can display all the data you need (some long titles, 50-something songs) on 1024x768 (and 1024x600) with a file manager on the side, windows not overlapping. Can still be done in linux if you run Audacious with GTK2 GUI and e.g. an instance of pcmanfm with the side bar deactivated.
You can. If you get the Skylake gen i.e. Pentium G4400, upcoming Celeron G3900, i3 6100 etc. then your memory ceiling is 64GB up from the older 32 GB. You can even get ECC on Celeron/Pentium but at the cost of an expensive motherboard wirh C2xx chipset. (there is IOMMU too)
With the high churn rate in html5 features it seems like outdated phones are unable to play any youtube advertisement. And why bother trying to install an app when it's easily loaded in the browser anyway? Good thing that my friend ONLY ever uses internet on the phone for youtube.
I don't think the few social media top dogs are going away soon. Nor a few ones in the "sharing economy" (i.e. the one for car rides, the one for black market short duration housing rentals) But outside a few pseudo-monopolistic giants ? How ironic that the internet has come to this. People are walled off each in a few services, aggregator sites or filtering bubbles. Movies/TV used to think we'd go in universal VR chatrooms, just like a 3D IRC. Perhaps it's time to learn some HTML 3.2
Easy, go to some decent on-line place and look at regular 15" etc. laptops, NOT crapblets, tablatops and netbooks and i7 netbooks. Most have RJ45 etc. and a couple DRAM slots. Rotating hard drives still widespread but you may not get one, or repurpose it as external back up. Even HDD + SSD is an option (out of the box). Get Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, perhaps Acer then the power connector is a universal featureless round one too.
What's so immoral when only 2% of the population feed the rest and the less you work and earn income the less you pollute? Alright, one could be a subsistance farmer of sorts but to do that would be only easy for someone born on a small farm and set to inherit it.
I can name Alaska as doing some limited dividend thing. I can also name the US as a country with massive redistribution (SS, Medicare, unemployment, that weird food stamp thing and why not, tax deduction on gifts to charity). It's hampered by oligarchy parasites, e.g. healthcare and medication or the prison industry. Anyway, Western states do worse things with the money they "rob" you of such as attacking Libya and Syria, etc. Spending billions on lazy fucks (who will be incentivized to work because the welfare rug can't be pulled from below their feet) or on getting another million Arabs killed?
Webmail has worked for the last 15 years although it isn't always great (euphemism) I guess I would like an off-line email client that you use through a web interface. Ha!
If the 7% usage figure are true, nevermind the debate about it being much higher on desktops/laptops : a lazy guess tells there are about 100 million users. That's a nice niche. If extensions get more limited - although still covering e.g. ublock - then why still use it you ask? Why use Winamp instead of Windows Media Player to play music in playlists? Because I like it better. (In the years before it'd be more likely I'd use Audacious or deadbeef)
I will likely still use Firefox even if it gets chromified. I expect it to still come with a File Edit View... menu bar and a better GUI overall.
France has some UBI-like income paid to parents of children. (various rules such as more pay for children under 3-year-old, three children don't give you 3x the money but something else, etc.) France has the highest fertility in Europe I think and it's high enough. So UBI will likely increase fertility.
What it may allow is free roommates. That would work in both ways : you may easily become a roommate yourself, or you can easily find a roommate when needed or wanted. Or for that matter getting into a marriage and creating a family on a single salaried income may be easy and appealing.
Congrats you've recreated NORTH KOREA but with less Kim Il Sung studies and more Internet. Banning TV is a good idea but I can't see how you would prevent using a $10 tuner plugged on a laptop or the internet for that. May I suggest requiring a travel permit to leave (or enter) that part of town and a curfew at night:)
At least in your plan you don't require people to show at a fake government job where you do nothing at all or work one hour a day between power cuts and shortages. Such food policy may lead to health problems, weaker or smaller children. Make 90+% population live like that and you've solved global warming. But what would just happen is black markets everywhere for food, drugs etc.
It's amazing how rught-wing/libertarian US people are yet they want to micromanage poor people so much.
I'm now remembering that per-disk caching was a feature of smartdrv.exe. Wow ! Though it likely offered off / on / reads-only at best. Not sure if a good idea but I'd like to disable write caching to crappy slow USB drives, so that when it's done it's done. Perhaps it's mundane but smartdrv showed that aspect in your face.
The handheld might be great but if you're interested in two/three/four player gaming what are you going to use? It feels easier if everyone just usrs the same controller.
Dreamcast had 8MB graphics RAM vs 4MB on the PS2 (but that RAM was insanely fast on the PS2), also in Europe it came with an RGB Scart cable not this 1980s composite crap. So it was inferior, but sure looked nice! A controller with one analog stick instead of two was also easier to use. Sucks that the console died (had it physically die, with no replacement, no current games. Aw!)
Why buy a new PC either? If you have a lower end desktop or even laptop from circa 2009 it does about everything you need, but it sucks too much for current games (the GPU may even overheat or its driver crash, etc.)
Heck, who cares if a beater PC takes an hour to encode a video or whatever.. But if the game drops to 19 fps or less in fire fights at minimum settings because of the CPU (while old games don't drop below 100 fps) it's fucked. Both ways, we're fucked. Spend $500 on a console and 2nd controller and a game or two, or spend about the same on PC hardware that runs on windows 8/10 and account-based DRM.
I'd rather have my Windows 98 and IDE CD drives back, along with the expectation that most PC or consoles are disconnected.

There is a version of Ocaml that would likely fit the bill i.e. talk to databases and such. The only problem is it's Microsoft's F#.

Nope, a tablet like yours will use Apollo Lake.
What is dead in the water is chips for Android Atom tabets, which nobody asked for.

Decade is a latin word that means ten days in French. Had English not gone its own way you might have said a "decenny" or perhaps a "decennium".
