    But the person has to realize that this won't help him/her at all, only comes off as being a little bit whiny, maybe even a little bit desperate. Yeah, it happens, but it's only vi…

    If there are no interesting comments to read why post the fact that it had been previously submitted at all? This is completely useless!

    Late to the party, if you have not yet read it, this is pretty interesting: https://bsdmag.org/siju_george/ "Why did I choose the DragonFlyBSD Operating System?" He uses it in his …

    It's less uncommon than you think, for example I know the HP Probooks do have that (and most likely many more) http://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_Probo... That …

    I remember when the Soylent-Creator was on the Colbert Report, and he clearly marketed it as a 100% food replacement. Saying that you don't have to replace food with it completely …

    I don't want to say you are wrong, I just want to clarify further: Not only was the UK "completely independent 50 years ago", the UK (for the moment let's not care if the UK is a c…
