LaTeX is a jack of all trades, and a master of a few of them... EXCEPT for Word Processing. When I want to do layout I choose a good DTP package... there are a few (not Word, but including LaTeX). Word is just a bunch of jumbled features used to make flyers and type up memos with cool formatting... but overall it…

I'm with you there. But I make sure I have my price before I enter the shop too.

I don't consider my Kindle a gadget... it is a book. I leave my tablet at home.

We use about 100-200Gb. Two people, kids watch Netflix rarely. Some online gaming, but mostly Netflix account for all our traffic.

Competition is good... can't wait.

Kid Mode has been pretty cool so far. It has a lot of safe content, and changes as your child grows. You can also ban certain characters (Barney!) etc. And it has a weekly report on the web detailing with breakdowns your kid's activities... pretty neat. Although we've decided to limit our daughter's electronics access…

Good to see all the options.

Interesting thing is that if you focus on an area further outside the lines, then your peripheral vision sees it as a square again.

I've been paying for it. They also have reasonable (premium) credit monitoring services worth paying for. They are making money.

I would see the $173.82 as a fine for trying to fleece me.

Yup, the outsourcing worries me... it makes it hard to manage my domains consistently. For one of mine they use e-nom, and the process to manage my domain is a little arduous. But so far not too bad, and cheap. I just home Google has enough clout to keep them in check.

Store it upright in a bookshelf amongst books. Worked for us. Also a writing desk (that can close) is a nice quaint workspace.

haha... sucker! (We, sadly, have the same problem...)

Damn, I used to play pool at Stones back in South Africa as a kid. I love SciFi set around the culture I grew up in. My first SciFi book I read was from a South African author named Jan Rabie called "Swart ster oor die Karoo" (Black star over the Karoo) while I was in a little farm village in the Karoo... blew my mind.

Then again, I'm using Android, and providers tend to charge for Facetime and not Google Talk.

Am I missing something but is it not cheaper to buy the phone outright and going onto a T-Mobile prepaid plan that has unlimited* data for a total of $30/month? It only has 100 mins of calling, but I hardly ever call and use data for voice mostly anyway. At this rate I can buy new phones cash sooner AND I'm not…

Yup, I "emerged" gcc, vim, xterm on my Synology. It *is* more expensive, but I got it after having trouble with FreeNAS (And I consider myself a unix variants expert). I'm happy with being a user and not a system it guy anymore ;)

It's slow. See http://marcoschuh.de/wp/?p=891

I have t-mobile's prepaid plan for $30/month. I save so much money I can buy a new phone every year cash. It has "unlimited data" meaning you get 5Gb at 4G speeds after that it is unlimited at 3G.

While FreeNAS is a great attempt to create a good server, I found it to be a bit lacking in configuration options and ease-of-use with regards to installation, setup and maintenance.
