  1. they're firewalled to shit, at least at my daughter's school.
  2. My daughter upgraded her 5 on day 1
  3. The best decision I think I've ever made was to stick with contract work. I work flat hourly. No time and a half, no sick days, no vacation. I get paid for every hour I work, and when I don't work, I don't get paid. If I get called when i'm not at work, and I'm awake, it's a 2 hour minimum. if I'm asleep, it's 4. I'd be hard pressed to take a salaried job that didn't at the very least meet 75% of my average income over the last 3 years, and come with at least 4 weeks of vacation. Salaried tech workers get seriously abused.
  4. The 5 uses the nano sim
  5. that's great news
  6. Taking a day off, after working 45 hours from sunday to wednesday.
  7. yes, and yes. The decision about which distro you're going to use will definitely impact your choice of software available. Linux will have trouble succeeding on the desktop in any real way until software is more self contained Hopefully the steam box helps that. I'd recommend ubuntu for that reason. It's the most common non-business linux desktop, so has the most software available. But check your desired software to see what they support.
  8. As long as the software you want to use is available, there's not a compelling reason to use one variety of computer operating system over another. Even the world's worst operating system is reasonably usable. The risks associated with each vary, as do the frustrations for using something lots of other people don't. The key thing is to not use a privileged account when you don't require it. As long as you follow that precaution, and are careful about what you approve escalating privileges for, you should be fine.
  9. it's one of the costs of buying in the first wave.
  10. I think Mac switched to 64 bit CPUs back in like ’04, 2011 won't have any trouble.
  11. (to be clear, I deleted the url. I assume he works for the manufacturer in some way.)
  12. backups to a server are more complete than ota backups. usb backups are more reliable than wifi. That said, you're generally fine with ota. I do local backups for peace of mind.
  13. wrong place, try http://www.head-fi.org
  14. I use a spigen tough armor case
  15. ftfy
  16. I'd get annoyed if my phone bent permanently. But, I also keep my iphone in a tough armor case, to prevent damage.
  17. best solution is to ignore it. They're just phones. Buy the one that does what you want, at the price you can justify.
  18. yah, I'd bet the bottleneck is the database on the phone, but I could be wrong.
  19. Did they disable the split keyboard? They've had one for years.
  20. I like the new apple one so far
  21. because I have other keyboards installed.
  22. Weird. Did you maybe not give it access to your microphone?
  23. try the walk into the store and punch a manager method.
  24. the fair market value is whatever price the buyer and seller agree on.
  25. It's all about the nokia 515
