A laptop with Ada 5000 or 3500 seems pretty good in terms of value/price ratio for this use case. Dell and Lenovo have decent offerings. I was just researching this for my own use.

Please initiate creation of a plugin for Pidgin... (it feels most of the issues would be easier to solve that way as well)

Exactly. Moreover, Pidgin is not only extremely useful already, but could also solve some further issues such as usability, customizability, and security in everyday communication.

I don't understand what exactly is the reason people don't like Eclipse. The features and the overall feeling of using the IDE is great, that's why I am still using Eclipse (mostly Java and Scala development), so are many of

"I don't feel spied" -- good for you! The point is, it's great that you're in love with Google and you don't mind being spied upon, however, there are a lot of other people who cannot wait for something like th

Even though I like RSS and use it daily, I think it cannot act as a replacement, since Facebook, as a platform, allows two-way communication between parties (e.g. when someone or some group shares a post, people can give feedback on it).

I have to say that this is almost completely the opposite of what I want from Facebook, given that "cringe memes and clickbait" is an orthogonal issue. To me, great value lies in the opportunity for people to organize into smaller

Can you put that card back in the deck please? Socialism is not equal to Soviet Union, who cares who have parents where.

by ivcha 9y ago
It seems to me you presented zero arguments why socialism is bad and capitalism is good (and why people should keep believing in it).

I have to say that I stopped reading after the first point, which does not make any sense to me at all. Phd is so much different from undergrad, in terms of responsibilities and overall role at the university, aside from comparing doing res

If we think about this as a wealth pyramid (a quite narrow one), then perhaps the answer is taxing progressively up the pyramid until the very top is reached. Otherwise, I agree, there's no clear solution to this, unfortunately.

So the city of New York should free Wall St from paying any taxes whatsoever as a sign of gratitude for not letting the place to implode. Moreover, people should be thankful and donate money from their pockets to them to prevent some major

Wow, the reason you would think that the fact that all the companies you've worked for have been doing the same as a positive thing, as well as that it might support any argument for collecting this type of information (or "aggreg

there's no conflict there (not that it's too relevant, but his ancestry is quite clear)... I guess there will always be people who like creating conflicts :)

yeah... no...

Good news. Moreover, it would be great if Eclipse would take over Eclipse IDEs for Haskell and Rust...

What are you talking about? Where did you find the connection between China and this article? I would guess the word "socialism"? China is more capitalistic than you would think; people should read more about it before spreading s

Why would you make such an assumption? Did the headline suggest that the (relatively small) tax was based on revenue? No, it did not. Please stop making such hasty, strong, and destructive comments. As we all already know, we have issues wi

What are you talking about? What myth? There is no myth whatsoever. As the previous comment noted, the plunge in oil price was going to cause disaster and a crisis of legitimacy, regardless of who was in power. Please stop making such sense

Will this be available in Pidgin?

by ivcha 9y ago
Non sequitur. Your whole conclusion is based on an non-existing premise, or one that has little sense. It's not clear why you think this article suggests precluding a healthy system in which people have the ability to afford time-savin

This is interesting, since there are so many tools out there designed to make these things easier -- e.g. I use taskwarrior with Gnome pomodoro... (Not to mention giving away personal data to the "cloud".)

yes, me... please refrain yourself from starting your replies like that...

he/she actually can, if he/she chooses to... some licenses discriminate against people that don't have money for buying them, so there should be nothing unfair about this...

I appreciate all these new clients with some interesting twists, but I would appreciate more if people spent at least a relatively small portion of their time contributing to existing (very good and solid) messengers like Pidgin, instead of

Wow, you really have a lot of things mixed up here. How can you make such strong claims about socialism when there are so many factors involved, e.g. we did not see socialism implemented without a dictatorship. Also, why didn't you try
