Must have. I had the 3G Chromebook on pre-order for two months before I finally gave up. I've not yet heard of someone actually getting one in the wild.

Had a similar problem. I was going to order one from MS yesterday but when I woke up I decided to go for a long bike ride and went "eh, they'll have plenty" instead of grabbing my laptop and ordering it before leaving. I got back around 2pm and nope, nothing. Our local Best Buy ironically had one, but screw them…

I *loathed* the ideas and concepts of Windows 8, but finally forced myself to use it. I'll admit - it isn't bad. On a touchscreen device, it may even be good.

Hear hear. I am a unabashed Apple fanboy and I'm going to be buying a Surface Pro as soon as the 128GB's are back in stock. And by fanboy I have:

I have an original iPad that my kids still use to play games, my wife uses to watch movies on the treadmill, and I still occasionally use instead of a laptop. I basically stopped using it after I got a Galaxy Nexus, then iPhone 5.

I carry two phones - an iPhone 5 and 4S for personal and work respectively. I like the balance between the two, but more so I do it because I also do side work. I don't ever want to be in a position where side work would potentially contact me on a work phone, even if main work doesn't care about it. For me it's a…

So what could back his entire story up, right here and now, would be his cell phone records. Or even a credit card reciept/record of sending the flowers to the funeral home. There you go. Done. It would still smell a little, but not reek now.

It rather reminds me of another Gawker site story, about a certain Apple employee and a certain Apple device. It's the tone against the guy that got me then, and is starting to get me now.

No. And I say that from experience, it's still got security holes like crazy, doesn't have rolling updates like Chrome, and doesn't sandbox like Chrome. Granted you can still get Chrome infected, but it takes a little more work.

Hear hear. My Macbook Pro has 16GB, and Chrome loves to go wild with it after being open for a day or two. I've noticed both Safari and Firefox being more conservative with usage, to the point where I'm starting to move back to Firefox.

Some of the 305 TPI's were shockingly fast. A buddy who had a '80 Trans Am with a 383 Stroker that was pretty healthy ran against a IROC with a 305 TPI and manual trans, and just barely beat him.

On 2, you are spot on - except for one instance I ran into. I knew trooper, and his favorite state-issued car was the '92 Camaro he held on to forever. He said it had a 350 and a 5 speed, but me being the know-it-all car geek teenager knew GM didn't offer the L98 with a manual, even in the B4C (most of those were…

No, it's not. I say from experience as back in the day, the good old days as we will call them, a small town my girlfriend lived in had a state trooper who had a SSP Mustang. Said Trooper had one of the last SSP 'Stangs and he had taken impeccable care of the thing, a '93 with a Manual trans. He also liked to get…

Whatever you do - don't stop working! That is until you are told to do so by the Labor Department or a lawyer. That will give your boss cause to terminate you, and will give even some minor suspicion.

Go to the labor department immediately. No need for a lawyer at all, the labor department covers all that. And if you have any hesitation, think about it this way - your boss is stealing from you. Every single day since the last time you've been paid, it would be like he's taking your phone, laptop, etc. If your…

Excellent point made, the 2900's are also tanks. Have a couple at work that should be EOL'd but they just keep running, at insanely high loads, all day long.

You might check out the HP DL380 Gen 5's. They're getting cheap on eBay, and they are killer hardware. Support plain old SATA disks if you can find sleds, and the P400i controller is a rockstar. They're *fast* too.

Yup, run multiples. Two 1U servers, one is for PFSense and the other is running Ubuntu 12.10 as a minecraft, mumble, samba, web, and etc. server. Third server is a Dell Latitude D630 with a busted display on a docking station running Ubuntu 12.04LTS which serves as the backup destination for all the machines in the…

Netflix and Amazon both have a two simultaneous streams at once limit. Normally, not a problem, but with five family members around bedtime it generally gets annoying.

For now, a cheap-ass ($10) Radio shack set top. You know, old school loop and antennas. It picks up about a dozen-ish stations, the furthest away which is about 50 miles so it does pretty good. It is annoying me regarding how it looks and how big it is, so I'll probably get a Lef off Amazon.
