    I did exactly this a year ago but one caveat to note is that if you're using an external monitor, the video card in this one doesn't support a good resolution. I'm stuck with 1080p…

    You don't use GitHub or LinkedIn or Skype either? You might also rely on sites that are built with Microsoft technologies (Stack overflow for example) or find that your workplace g…

    That's not quite the same thing. He went there to find people who would be the type that go to events like this. If you want to compare apples-to-apples, your friend would have bee…

    I just wanted to say that this article displayed quite nicely on my phone and was nice to read through. On the topic, I do believe that there are worthy stories in video games that…

    If you're in Toronto, the Fifth grill has one too. It is such a long ride for such a short distance but pretty cool. The elevator is about a hundred years old
