ubuntu server. you get all of the core competencies of ubuntu without any imposition of UI. you can install a wm easily post-install without the tweaking required to get stock desk…

he is holding ubuntu to a different standard. he expects ubuntu to install on arbitrary hw, but he's willing to buy a dedicated "just works" device for osx. well, they do sell thes…

why stop there? put your sneakers on and go for a multi-mile hike in an open space. no phones (they don't work out in the woods anyway), no computers. just you and your thoughts.

this could only happen in ubuntu, not in osx or windows or android. apple and microsoft and google all have turf wars, ownership issues, and general crankiness that precludes any m…

every webgl demo i run brings my mac-pro system to its knees, and this is to run demos that would be considered state of the art for 2004. i don't see this becoming the standard de…

i applaud the effort that demonstrates the technical chops of the coders who can wring stuff like this out of browsers, but lets be honest here, html5 games are only viable if we d…

1. this is UK law, not US 2. "cruel and unusual" has no meaningful definition for a corporation. is a $1 billion fine "cruel and unusual"?

i love zareason and system76, but neither of them ship an ultrabook yet, although i sincerely hope they are working on it

yes, you own the improvements, but the point of stipulating you as a TENANT is to permit the county to make and enforce rules, since your improvement is ultimately on their land. n…

ever heard of astroturfing? after working on a listings site, i automatically assume 80% of ratings and reviews and astroturfed

they don't "own" the property and the word "owner" does not appear on anyone's deed (don't believe me? go read your own) you are a tenant on the land, and your deed says this. the …

and in any case you are not even legally a owner you are a TENANT. before downvoting me, go and look at your deed. find the term "owner" anywhere on it. yes folks, the county has p…

There is no legitimate justification to infringe on a contract between a willing buyer and a willing seller this was a common refrain of slave holders - it was a pure market mechan…

ever had a neighbor who suddenly decides to stop caring for their property? when you live eighteen inches away from them, it matters. this is the allure of an HOA for some - it enf…

thats irrelevant. ultimately, you chose to buy the property, and your name is at the bottom of the contract that says "i hereby agree to follow the rules of the HOA" check it, i am…

don't be so sure. in los gatos a woman tried to turn her lovingly restored victorian into a bed & breakfast and vigilant neighbors shut it down. people who are paying $1 mln and up…

geez apple, get it together. i was mildly impressed by tim cook when he took over, but now i'm getting the impression that he is apple's steve ballmer. this was a ridiculous and tr…
