The Gateses don't account for inflation in their prediction. Income may be higher in the future, but so will be living costs. The standard of poverty will simply be shifted. Furthe…

I've always wondered about the value vs. cost of official products compared with unofficial ones. I always assumed a part of what you were paying for is the brand name, which may b…

I switched to Xubuntu from Ubuntu, as well. Although it being catered to lower-end systems than Ubuntu is what drew me in, I've been most happy with its customisability, the highli…

This is a fantastic coincidence. Over the past few weeks, and especially today, my fiancée has been telling me how she has lost her familiarity with Sanskrit after many years. I've…

The comparison, then, should be with the governor of Oklahoma, who lives in the Governor's Mansion.[1] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Fallin

I'd love to know just how much of a possibility there is of this happening. I've spent a lot of time customising and tine-tuning my own blog, so I've no interest in seeing it turn …

How do you account for the users that would choose the default browser anyway? For example, were Chrome the default on Ubuntu, I'd replace it with Firefox, but as Firefox is the de…

Then just get Xubuntu.

You took "living unhealthily" out of context. mattmanser said, "living unhealthily in your game". There's a difference; i.e. it regards one's dedication to a game, not their lifest…

What model was it? Lenovo is known above all else for the durability of its hardware, so I'm surprised by this account. Perhaps you were simply unfortunate with the specific laptop…

The rounded tabs have been coming for a long time - at least since 2011[1] - and they're not only for Windows 8. They're meant to be the same across all supported platforms, and th…

You're being sarcastic, but you're also correct. While the strength of a product may dictate its long-term success, a well-implemented marketing campaign is often the difference be…

I'm not happy about it, but for many of the less computer-savvy users, I don't see why this should be a big problem. They may very well be interested in this feature, and it still …

Don't let the url fool you, Michael Lombardi is actually a very good writer. I won't comment on the content, but he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

I have to admit, I love the snark of "A totally different plug". It captures exactly how I feel about every recent iteration of the iPhone: that minor improvements are met with ina…

By the account of their ad, it is a better product.

Please elaborate.

Out of curiosity, how exactly does one go about creating a "different" dock that also has a glass pane underneath? Different colour? Or angle of the pane? Different shape (which Sa…

I've been using DDG mainly on principle. As a search engine, I've found it to be less robust than Google. My searches tend to be highly specific, too, so my inability to learn all …

How unfortunate! (Although, it doesn't appear to be dead on this end.) I've been in a community where the senior members clashed with the moderators, and it was very much a case of…

How does that system deal with the old members > new members hierarchy that would develop? I think the problem with giving a member a longer stick the longer they stay/comment is t…

The UK can't extradite him if he's technically not on UK territory.
