Same boat here, although I'm a bit worried about the downsize from 15" to 13". Perhaps with a docking station, it might not be so bad. But hopefully dell jumps on this opportunity …

How's linux support in the XPS 15?

Well she already gets one of the best perks: queue-free bathrooms. Most of the new Amazon buildings are built with much less bathrooms to save floor space, but still have 50/50 wom…

Perhaps you'd be best up taking it up on wikipedia and primary sources, instead of arguing with random internet people when using their same definitions.

It really doesn't matter what he calls it, as type inference has a well accepted definition that includes Go and C++. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_inference Perhaps the …

If congress and their staff were forced to go through the same process as everyone else (and not through a VIP precheck line) they might realize what a clusterfuck it has become. L…

People are going to want to watch the debates live for the same reason people want to watch sports live. You can argue all you want for why a post-processed sports game is going to…

Agree, especially with just a gentle vibrating reminder that turned itself off after a second. I've tried a few of these, and the problem they all suffer is obnoxiously intrusive n…

I really wish ivory wasn't confiscated and burnt, but rather was infused with poison and released to continue to its eventual destination.
