I started with two Linode basic vps. I keep them just because their customer support is great, and even let me stay one month without paying when I had problems with money. Also, all inbound traffic is free (basically it's what these two ma

Hey, first world problems! In my head I try to keep it as "If it is an email, it can wait until tomorrow". The author un-synced his email from the phone? Big deal. It is not that smartphones do not let you think (which is also true), but th

I find it insulting because the word NiNi is just a generalization on young people (as me) that politicians and media is throwing around to make us feel bad, and to portray a group of people that does not represent the majority. The average

NiNi is a pejorative word used to refer to people that "Ni estudia Ni trabaja" (do not study, do not work). I hope this word just stops being used. As a young person from Spain that have studied and is working (and have been since I was 18)

# occurrences of the word "south" on your post[1]: 2 If you were referring to Malaga and Andalucia, it's a different game. Most people often forget Spain is about different cultures living together in the same country, and the sou

How is the top menu[1] ok? Grey background with clear blue icons? I would understand with skype because it's not their logo, but even their own blue icons look terrible with that background. Also, the controls on the carousel[2] are off. Th

What got me to play the game again was doing it on Hardcore mode. In this mode, difficulty is set to hard and when you die your world save gets destroyed and you cannot continue playing. For me, this works well, as I just play when I really

That's an interesting idea. A big QR-code in your table is something obvious to scan, and aesthetically ugly. A framed picture not so much, and could serve a similar purpose.

Woosh.. really it's time to put men on Mars, or is it just "for the lulz"? Robots are meant to provide scientific data about Mars ecosystem, explore further on the surface and so on. What does a men, right now, add there? Nothing. Just dang

Good move, why not? If I recall correctly, Debian is all about keeping things fast, stable and usually chosen as a good fit for a server. In any case, most users that expect a "fully blown with bells and whistles" WM would use Ubuntu. I'm s

Oh.. excuse a company for trying to target a wider audience. Now, if the discussion is about these ads involving a decay on the quality of the end product, wait at least two years. Right now, some people is pissed off because these ads "do

Things like living on a village and having an stress free life can greatly improve your life expectancy. In some rural areas on my country it's usual to live around 100 - 120 years. In some places, even having a pork farm based economy and

In the article there are some references to medieval locks. I was impressed to see early roman (Pompeian and Herculaneum) era locks. If anyone is interested this query served me https://www.google.com/search?q=ancient+%22roman+OR+pompeian.
