I cancelled my subscription. I've haven't felt this free in a while. I'm no longer a slave to Amazon.

I used awk to migrate users from one system to another. I created template scripts for setting up the user in the new system, I dumped the data from the old system, then used awk to process the dump and create scripts for each user in the new system. That was a fun project.

When you have battery life beyond 5s next year you'll be thankful

Yeah, I'm sorry to say that is a result of good marketing. I work at a university and we have experience with a good number of XPS laptops.

We saw at least a 60% problem rate, and Dell's support was dog slow. Batteries being the weak spot. Because it's thin it is more fragile, we saw a number of broken screens, and keyboards. One survived a Gatorade spill, but another failed after a water spill. Go figure

A three year warranty helped, but we were out of a laptop for months at a time, more than once on the same laptop.

Ultra thin laptops look cool, but suck in almost every other way. If you need thin then get a MacBook Air.

Think of the children. That poor Thirteen yo boy who doesn't have the luxury of Sears catalogs on the coffee table. Or hustler magazines on display in every corner store. He just wants the see a pair of boobies /s

I'm surprised this had to be said. 6 days before the balots are ordered.

Why not acceptance pride? Put a rainbow flag behind this icon and be proud to support all love is love.

For Surrey-Green Timbers, the threshold for success is 11,811 signatures.

Can their be a petition for cancelling the signatures of the nutters?

Perhaps, we need to throw the shareholders in jail.

There is nothing that will be done to prevent this from happening again.
