Doesn't matter if you re-install the OS. They spyware was baked into the BIOS.

I never said it was fake news. I know that company X is garbage, reviewer Y says company X is great, why the hell would I trust reviewer Y? This isn't opinion or debate, they were caught 2 different times putting spyware on new machines, that is fact. Since I know this why would I listen to someone that says "Lenovo is great"? This isn't about "my view of the world", this is about the fact that a company has been caught using dubious practices. You want me to just ignore the facts and role over say "Well Lenovo was caught doing really shitty stuff, but this reviewer likes them so they must be an alright company after all!".

Also I didn't, and would never, vote for Trump.

I read that too. Lenovo the top spot? Aaaand we are done here. I am not going to trust any "review"/"ranking" system that doesn't put Lenovo dead last. They were caught 2 times preloading spyware/malware on their machines.

>Generally, in price negotiations it is advantageous to name a number first.

This is absolutely 100% wrong. In price negotiations you will almost always fair better if you force the other party to bring up a number first.

Very true, when combined they are horrible. But disagree with "neither". Sugar is really bad by itself, it isn't an "empty calorie" at all, it spikes insulin and will rot your teeth.

Is it driven by limit orders then? I mean if people are buying and selling at the "market" price then it should stay sideways. If someone wants to sell to get cash and there are no market buys then the price just automatically drops to the closest limit buy order?

Who is going to advertise on gail.com? The numbers of visitors is meaningless if the vast majority of your visitors take 2 seconds to look at the site and say "Ooops I made a typo, this isn't the page I wanted. Let me fix that." Most visitors probably don't read much of the site at all, let along click an ad on it.

I personally like http://heeeeeeeey.com/

The title for this article is hideously awful. "Console into Mass." WTF is that suppose to mean? Not to mention that Mass. is the Associated Press's abbreviation for Massachusetts, which only adds to the confusion. Also headlines/titles usually only include colons and or commas, all other punctuation is typically left out.

Make sure to tell them that you name in Jenny too.

> Right, but where do they get their data?

You give it to them when you sign up for that stupid rewards card.

Exactly.

>Even as the big publishers work to increase the proportion of sales that come from digital products, they’re still largely dependent on physical books.

The other issue the large sum of money they want to charge per book. The cost of the books is so high that it is propping up "physical book" market. Mostly because publishers have offered no way to resell your digital or ebook. Lots of students buy used text books, and students that buy new often sell their books to recover some of the cost when they complete the class. The publishers see digital books as a way to prevent students from doing this so that everyone has to buy new (at the ridiculously high prices). The students are going to do what is economical for them, until the prices either drop significantly, or you offer an online marketplace where students can sell/trade digital books then physical college text book industry will be here to stay.

>get money by being dishonest; so it's stealing.

That isn't the definition of stealing. In fact I would argue, while it is dishonest, it isn't stealing in slightest. Stealing means you took something, without agreement, that rightfully belongs to someone else. The scheme is more accurately described as fraud than stealing.

Article was sort of interesting, but I think it glossed over the most interesting part.

>long before he enlisted a programmer to build a system that authorities say was designed to cheat the market.

What exactly was the system doing to "cheat the market"?

>If half of the warriors are drunk or stoned, you'll lose whatever battle happens to come up.

If all the world leaders were required to take psychedelics on a quarterly basis there would likely be no need for warriors.

Every war is a civil war. We are all humans.

>I will admit that after that I simply disabled SELinux and never looked back. The benefits didn't seem worth the hassle to me.

YUP, this right here. SELinux needs to be way more user friendly if you want to see wider adoption.

Exactly this. I don't really care if it pays well if I hate the system. If I hate using it, if I don't believe in it, if I feel like it isn't the right product for the customers I am supposed to help.

>How do you break into a career in a niche field like SAP development.

OH GOD WHY? Have you used SAP? SAP is the most expensive pile of shit I have ever seen. No company in their right mind would deploy such a system at this point in time.

>I'm a longtime Windows developer who doesn't have much patience with nerdy complexities.

That is funny because I have setup Apache, Nginx, and IIS web servers before and by far the one I found to have the most nerdy complexities is IIS.

>The configuration is not that intuitive and you really need to get into the syntax and concepts to get an understanding of knobs to turn in order to achieve a certain goal.

Personally I found Nginx configuration much simpler than Apache. I think Nginx is pretty intuitive, it certainly is much supplier than IIS, which is a nightmare.

Started off learning Ruby and was going to teach myself Rails. Then I deiced to give Python a try, before getting into Rails, and found I like Python way more than Ruby. So, I picked up Django instead of Rails.

It has it's pro's and con's. I do love how I can just to !a to search amazon, or !w to search wikipedia, or !g if I really want to use Google. Kind of wish Google had a feature like that.

Not creator here. "Flash-like content authoring tool for HTML5" isn't catchy at all, that's like calling an iPod "Digital music playing device". Branding and marketing count.

>If you can plug it in, it will work:

Not if there aren't drivers written for your OS it won't. Unless you are the type of person who can roll your own drivers.

>Python used to be easy to learn. It isn't anymore.

Compared to C++, C# and Java, Python is still MUCH easier to learn. Python and Ruby are the easier languages to learn. I have to agree with the other commenter, why learn a toy language only to later have to learn a real one? That is a waste of time.

Stock in AMD bought when it was under $3 per share.

I will give Emacs a try once I figure out how to exit Vim.

This is great! Thanks.
