    Counterpoint: as a Mac user it is surreal to click Next Next Next to install a program on Windows. Same for uninstalling. Move to Trash and poof, unistalled. There is no standard w…

    If the blades have sufficient ground clearance ;like a helicopter or higher), then yes, they would land next you. It is going to suck in winter and rainy weather though. Now thinki…

    Rovo is funny. It downloads everything it can do Atlassian servers for "analysis". And you're pretty much screwed if you link it to Google Docs or Sharepoint. How do I know this? "…

    I hope there's a plan for local production in the US with all the banning of stuff right, left and center. Soon they'll ban Colombian coffee for being too good and making people wa…
