I upvoted this, because I think it's definitely a good way to stay focused (and I should be doing a better job of it, too). but the issue with his analogy is that brushing your teeth is fairly routine. you go about it at pretty much the same time every day, and you don't have to think about it.
working on your idea, however, is different each and every day. some days, the challenges are greater. some days you may need more than 30 minutes.
point taken though, and I'll be trying harder to stick to it.
I would recommend making a Facebook VM if you really want to get on. This helps on two fronts:
1) You must REALLY want to get on facebook if you go through the extra step of booting up a VM
2) They can track all they want inside your VM since you use it ONLY for facebook.
/s/facebook/any other social service you intend to use.
In the future, they should create the microholes and keep the logo dimly lit in the orientation that faces the user when they open the laptop. Once the laptop is open, the array of LEDs could change to make the logo oriented the current way.
There is already something similar on one of the numerous android handsets out there where the 4 hardware keys turn 90 degrees when you switch from portrait to landscape mode. Not quite as polished, but similar in concept.
For me, only my closer friends are on G+. Unfortunately, this is the same group of people who don't post on FB, so similarly, my G+ is pretty quiet. It's nice though - really cuts out the "noise". In a way, I don't mind if it stays this way.
really impressive and fast work! for me, however, I would like to see an implementation of Dalvik VM as a "card" similar to how they've managed to boot Ubuntu/LXDE as a "card". That way, we could retain the best of both worlds - webOS + android apps. This would be akin to the Alien Dalvik project on the Nokia stuff. Does anyone know what it would take to port Dalvik over? It must be possible, but this is outside of my area of knowledge.
I HATE these chairs too. However, someone recently told me that they come in different sizes, so maybe mine was just the wrong size for me. I've also heard that what seems comfortable might not be best for you too.
Well, sure. As the economy moves to be more global, jobs previously held by the US are now moving to China. Just a few weeks ago Goldman Sachs announced layoffs in the US, but added jobs in Singapore and Brazil. This is only going to continue.
Dropbox's sync indicator is still in the corner for me, just as it always has been, so it seems to work fine.
How is everyone's alt-tab performance? I've been trying to like it, but alt-tab is so slow that it's barely usable. I don't have another GNOME3 computer to compare it to, so I don't know if it's something wrong with my configuration or hardware.
Unfortunately, just by glancing at article, you can see that they made comparisons by picking poor photographs on flickr and beautiful, colorful images for 500px. Bias much?
Could you add 'rm -rf' to histignore? I remember it works with patterns but can't remember if you can use it for specific commands. I'm not on my linux box now so I can't test it.
Not that I know of, but I bet we could pull enough people together to make this a regular thing. In fact, I wouldn't mind volunteering some time to get this started.
How did they have this already ready? Was this a previous phone design that they just rendered with Windows Phone 7, or had they been working with Microsoft already?
There is a reviews section on both sites that have pretty decent contributors. I've looked up many a component/bike there to get a good idea on what's worth it and what isn't. Some items even have photos, and some people have posted how much they paid and where they bought it from. I wouldn't count them out as "spam". There's useful information buried under a site from the 90s.
