Until earthquakes.


Depending on where you are in the world, earthquakes are much rarer then insane storms. I'm speaking as a Floridian. I'm fairly ignorant on this issue, but would it be that difficult to use one or the other depending on which natural occurrence is more likely? Or is this also a cost issue?


Massive cost issue, plus some technical issues.

According to this document [1]:

"The North Carolina Utilities Commission studied the cost of placing Duke Power’s distribution facilities underground and found it would cost more than $41 billion, resulting in a 125 percent increase in customer rates."

Another TODO list app? When I looked at the website it seemed like the main value proposition was that my TODO list will be everywhere. Countless apps already do this though so I don't understand how this one is better.


You could use a virtual machine running Linux for more security.


I've been using the beta for a month or two now, and I must say that I'm impressed. I didn't think I'd like the new shell in Gnome 3, but I don't have any complaints and is actually pretty slick. I'm running it on a T420 and it supports all the hardware perfectly and seems to get better battery life than Kubuntu (Maybe different kernel version or something...).

I love being able to install any needed development tools with a simple "sudo yum install".



This makes more sense, writing and debugging 20,000 lines of C code in four days is a little crazy.


If itwere 20k lines, he would probably have said something like

"it was a 7 line Perl script that generated 20k lines of c that generated inputs for whatever"


From what I hear unpaid internships are common for law students as well. It would be interesting to do more research on this, but I suspect unpaid internships happen in any field that has a surplus of workers. The tech industry doesn't have this problem so most internships are paid.


Is it using sentiment analysis?? If so that is very cool. But also annoying; I'm glad I don't use FB.
