That would be a real bad idea in this scenario. It would reduce their profits and decrease the chance of the seller being able to pay back the loan in full. When your playing with amazons money, your interests are aligned and what is good for you is good for them and viceversa.

Seems to me that being able to run legacy apps is kind of more important than the scaling.

And a much larger print area.

That's not very convincing argument when you consider that if she was running Windows that none of these issues would've mattered.

ASUS has been known to be one of the more Linux-friendly vendors.

any workflowy is just an evernote with less apps

Just don't say shit about Apple.

The power of Apple's marketing isn't in the new customers who see it, it's the old customers who use it as a script on how to promote the company. Who needs clever marketing with fans like these?

Amazon has gotten into hot water before for NOT censoring or blocking content.

Why was this "no" before? Seems trivial, I'm surprised this is just showing up now.

Nah, he just wants to buy up more MSFT and he's trying to set a trend to drop the price short term so he can get a better deal.

Wait, so he's saying that he's moving from MSFT to AAPL because AAPL has better lock-in? Personally, I'm staying with MSFT because MSFT has already learned the follies of relying on lock-in and is moving on where AAPL is repeating MSFT of the 90's mistakes.

"repeatedly"? Source? I've worked in Amazon warehouses and they are far and above any other workhouse job in terms of both safety, pay and workload required. Granted, I only worked at 2 different Amazon warehouses so my sample small is probably smaller than yours.

Skeuomorphism was around in a lot of interfaces before Apple "invented" it. It's a very common feature in videogame interfaces. My old ThinkPad had to slide to unlock switch to the laptop screen. So you take the exact same device and make a digital version of it and it's patentable?

Thank you. This makes me feel much better after reading that awfull object-oriented article.

Doesn't matter if they're in parallel.

Or how to make code that is easy to exploit. This teaches me to avoid ruby, if anything.

based on this, it shouldn't take more than half a day under the worst circumstances (single EBS drive with crappy performance), and if you Raid together enough drives, you can do it in about an hour. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you pay for EBS by size, not physical disks, so the more you can split up your data in blocks, the more performance you're going to get.

I prefer Anonymous because it it's legible at low resolutions. Any font can take advantage of high resolution, it opens up a lot of freedom to the artist.

Any idea on what it actually does? How does it detect "danger"? It seems more like an attempt to co-opt internet freedom movements than actually do anything at all.
