Based on your data, staffing is insufficient. If it is not your business, it is not your fault. Keep in mind that your paid time off is part of your compensation and reconsider your choices.
While that's all well and good I don't think millennials would be broadly characterized as being personally responsible.
You are absolutely right. Google and select an article from your favorite source of spin, but sources agree that the 18-34 demographic is more likely to live with their parents than in any other living situation.
I don't know what other netbooks might have been released with, but the version of Xandros that came with the Eee 701 was awful. Return rates likely had more to do with a poorly-executed distro than actually "needing" Windows.
That form factor is exactly what I want. The Eee 701 was about the size of two DVD cases stacked atop one another. That was perfect for virtually any messenger bag. I even made a tray to hang over the steering wheel I'd used when parked. That was before the saturation of smartphones and 4G, so I had several stops for where I could get free wi-fi. Even the 900 was only slightly larger, with MUCH more screen real estate. The 7" screen isn't particularly usable for current web design, but the 9" screen is still quite nice to me.
I recently pulled my 701 out of the mothballs, mainly to do some writing in remote locations. The battery is toast, lasting about an hour, but otherwise it's still usable. It will take me some time to get used to the keyboard again, but I don't expect that will be much of an issue. I still have Tony Hawk 2 and some emulators installed on it, which all run great, along with AVI/MP4 playback off the SDHC card.
I've gotten into vehicle-dependent camping, and wanted a small computer I could use and abuse while in the middle of nowhere. The places I go have been well outside of the wireless coverage map, so I've had to devolve my entertainment methods somewhat. After all the years and miles it rode with me while it was in regular use, I know how durable it is, and I'm really looking forward to its new life as an adventure component.
I remember the 900 models, which had only a slightly larger shell and a much larger screen, but were otherwise comparable in performance and SSD capacity.
What model do you have that is 64-bit and able to run such a wide variety of operating systems?
The demographic described in this story must be the most likely to comprehend that eBook prices don't make any damn sense. The publishers want $10-$15 for a text file. How is this justifiable? For many titles, that's the price for a hardback copy! A paper book is almost always cheaper than an eBook, but requires actual physical resources for creation and delivery, and has resale value.
Various providers have figured out how to eliminate piracy for music and movies. Is reading books just such a dead pastime that the market doesn't care to offer potential customers the convenience and price point that makes piracy stop making sense?
I almost only buy games via codes. For example, I've been looking at the new Doom since before it came out, but $60 for a game is just too damn much to me. Snagged a code on eBay for $24. It was well worth that. I did the same thing with the Arkham series. The Steam store prices are ridiculous.
The FairTax eliminates the IRS and embedded taxes while providing a prebate for all necessities up to the poverty level. Lots of other positive aspects as well. The only downside? It's revenue-neutral, meaning it won't immediately shrink government or our collective tax burden.
In the US, companies are moving their operations to non-union states when they can, and to other countries when they cannot. Yeah, that's what we need more of.
There's a large portion of the population who thinks "gouging" is a private company adjusting their prices to what the market will bear when demand has increased.
Uber is not a regulated utility. If you want to use their services, be prepared to pay their prices.
I have the 2013 as well. WugFresh always has something new for it. I've never done so with this particular device, but I'm considering trying one of the Nougat distros at this point.
My system was built to be a Hackintosh, but I could never get it to work because I missed step 1 in the process: have an existing Mac to make everything you need to install OSX on your Hackintosh.
Anyway...
Windows 10 was stable and fast but the harsh "flat" graphics of the UI ruin it for me. Why would a supposed cutting-edge OS not have cutting-edge visuals?
Windows 8 was worse, but Vista and Windows 7 were beautiful. The Aero themes, the shaded window controls, etc. - Vista and 7 were pleasing to the eye. Windows 8 and 10 look like they were just focused on building an OS and planned to add a visual theme later. Or maybe they just liked Windows 3.x so much, they wanted to go back to a flat-looking theme. Either way, I would avoid Windows 10 just because it's ugly even if the data collection concerns didn't exist.
Especially in regards to car parts. Many of these Chinese manufacturers ship the same item with and without branding. Example: a snorkel for a Toyota 4x4. If it says SAFARI on the side and has been shipped from China to Australia, then to the US, it's $400. If it says nothing and ships from China to you, It's $125. Likewise, eBay is a great source for low-cost radiators, AC condensers, etc. Same low-grade junk the parts stores are selling at twice the price.
It's the free market at work. You can sell your product for whatever you like, but your price point must be competitive with a Chinese knock-off.
I was 14 when Pearl Jam's 3rd album was released on December 6, 1994. While at at the music store getting my copy on release day, I also stopped into Electronics Boutique and bought the two-disk Doom Shareware. I couldn't get home fast enough!
My Creative Labs 1x cartridge-loading CD-ROM used a TSR driver. You could put the disc in the drive, then use a command-line CD player program to play the music from the disc while in DOS...or in DOS games. I fired up the new album, and began the installation of Doom. Once the game was installed, I turned the in-game music levels all the way down and Vitalogy became my soundtrack for slaying demons and exploring endless corridors. Later, I even wrote a batch file to start the CD playing before starting the game.
I don't know how many hours I spent playing that game the first time, or how many times the album played through, but I remember vividly still seeing the hallways flying by my peripheral vision when laid down and closed my eyes. It was incredible.
I still have the box the shareware came in, but I think the disks themselves have degraded to where they're unusable. I also still have the boxes for D!Zone 150 and Ultimate Doom. For many years now, I've had zDoom and the Doomsday Engine both installed, and I typically play through all 4 episodes when I'm off for Christmas. I have since enjoyed the game's original soundtrack frequently, but from time to time, I still launch WinAmp with the PJ album on repeat before getting into the game.

While most would agree that broadcasting something you down own the rights to is wrong, simply tuning in shouldn't be a crime.
Theory: Mike Pence is Megatron in human form. Compare photos and draw your own conclusion.
So that means he's not, right?
Thank you for the link!
I hated that book but I'm glad I read it. There are a lot of references to it that were going over my head for many years.

You forget your place. Your practical solution using a simple menu has absolutely no business being shared amongst the hyperbole here!

The prebate component of the FairTax is similar to a UBI, but without having to pay for an IRS.

Is that so bad?
I agree, but Pokemon Go went live yesterday, so it'll just be me and you out there.
