This is awesome! Thanks for mentioning this!

Like you, I enjoy my sleep, but more than that, I need my sleep. There's no way I could function on less than 8 or 9 hours of sleep for more than 2 days.

Thanks for letting me know the brand. I'll keep my eye out for it.

What's the brand name? I tried the Magic Bullet's food processor, and it was a total disaster. I will never stop hating that thing, so, whatcha got?

I love kitchen gadgets, and use the vast bulk of them often. When my friends see all my gadgets, sometimes they'll give me a hard time over how much money I've spent on them, but I never apologize, because I cook every day, and we eat out rarely.

I've been a veggie for 20+ years, and I've always found it both polite and prudent to bring a dish to share that I can also eat. I have a hit parade of several that I can choose from depending on the host's menu. People know that I'm a veggie, and will bring something.

I do the same. I have a chili bean recipe that all the carnivores go crazy for, while I quietly eat my share.

Obviously anyone who went through the hell of installing any OS on 24+ machines is probably gonna be good at it.

Definitely the desktop, but I do have and use other formats as well. But that phrase "The Desktop is Dead" does not suit me at all.

My second choice would be vim. If you want to really go minimal and avoid distractions, you use vim. Every time I try apps like the ones in the hive-five, I realise I could get the same result by opening a terminal, making it fullscreen, and then running vim*.

I've been teaching some Seniors lately, and the only way is one-on-one.

Windows has it's own updating issues. For example, you want to reboot or shut the machine down, but before it can do that, it has to install updates. If you're just shutting down, it's not so much of a problem, but if you need to reboot because the system wants it's regularly unscheduled refresh, you sit there,…

Linux is about choices. You can choose this distro and that desktop. I've installed linux on about 2 dozen computers by this point, and there has been little configuring. I did once have problems with a video card and with a wifi connection. I solved it by replacing the video card with something more friendly. The…

I made the switch. It wasn't "hard", but I did make some careful plans, because I wanted Linux to be my primary operating system, and I had to make sure it could do everything I needed. My advantages are that I'm not a gamer, don't need AutoCad, I write my code by hand, and I'm happy with Less Than Photoshop.

No, especially the new ones. But I've been using a pressure cooker since I was 16 and even my oldie but goodie never threatened to explode.

I voted 1, but how many devices I carry depends on various factors. When I leave the house, where am I going? To a client's? To a friend's? Other business? Fun? Errands?

1998 or 1999. At that time, a few people had them, but they were slowly beginning to become more common. Can't remember what phone we had, but it was probably Nokia.

I've been a linux-only user for about 5 years. I'm hooked.

A micromanager never realizes that you've got a handle on the job. It isn't about the job or the employee, it's about the micromanager. They don't think it's possible that anyone can do the job well enough, so they micromanage. Even if you do the job very well, they will find something to pick at.

Since we've been with them for that long, our plan is quite old and Substantially cheaper than anything offered by anyone else. . .To keep that plan though, we're buying our handsets outright.
