Yeah, I have a Moto G4 Standard and it sure everything I want. I don't even worry about a case or screen protector because at this price point of it breaks I can easily and cheaply get a new one. I just hope in future versions they add USB-C. It'd be nice to have one charger for all my devices (laptop, phone, etc).

I'm not sure how busy they'll be, but the Menan Butte and the Rexburg Bench could both provide some good views. Of course the Butte is in the desert and will be pretty hot and isolated, but if you bring your own shade and are wary of snakes you should be fine. It'll be right in the center of the path (or as close as you can get eyeballing it) so you'd get about as much time possible. My grandparents live a two minute drive from the base of the Butte, so that's probably where I'll go.

Yeah, I'm from Idaho Falls and know someone that is renting out their house for $8k a night. I tried to convince my parents that they should do the same thing with their house, but they'd rather stay in house and not worry about traffic those days. Most of the town is going to close down for a few days around the eclipse because of all the visitors.

Honestly, recently I've consistently noticed Firefox running faster than Chrome for my usage scenario. It might be bias, but I find browsing on Firefox a more enjoyable experience and uses a lot less of my system resources.

I stuck with Firefox through the times where it was much slower than Chrome for idealistic reasons as well, but now I feel like speed is less of an issue because they are both pretty even.

I can't answer for who you replied to, but I use DDG because I support what they are trying to do. I will often support something even if it is a bit more inconvenient if I feel like they support my moral and ethical standards.

I'm not a social person by nature, but when I decided I wanted to learn Spansh, I had to go out of my way to talk to Spanish with people I didn't know. It was scary, embarrassing, and at times depressing, but my desire to learn the language overcame my fear of social embarrassment. I'm now trying to do the same thing with Portuguese.

There are ways to force interaction, but if the student doesn't understand how to learn or doesn't have the desire, then they'll never be able to comfortably speak with people. They don't have to be really social (it certainly helps), they just have to want it enough.

I would, however, love that price point. It would be nice if I could run a few light-weight services on a VPS for $2.50 a month and then put my websites and other projects on a beefier VM.

I currently use Linode, but if DigitalOcean offered something at that pricepoint they would be getting $2.50 more from me a month than they currently do.

I remember reading the story in "How to Win Friends and Influence People". The plane was filled with jet fuel and had to do an emergency landing, but the pilot was able to save everyone. When he got back he told the mechanic that he wanted him to fill his plane the next day because he knew that he'd never make the same mistake again.

If the pilot can forgive someone for a mistake that almost cost lives, I'm sure any good interviewer can forgive him for a mistake that cost data and will probably never be repeated.

The Dominican Republic (and I think other Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands) has a lot of words they use that come from English but have been modified over the years, or were brand names that are now used to describe something Generic.

SUV is "Jipeta" or "Yipeta" sounding like "Jeep-eta", Diaper is "Pampa" sounding a bit like "Pampers", Trash-can is "Zafacón" coming from the English "Safety-can", and my personal favorite is the word "boche" which is a bit like a scolding or reprimand but comes from "Bull shit."

My entire family uses different Moto G versions. I have the G4, one of my sisters has a G3, and my parents and my other sister have G1s. They just seem to work and are very good first-time smartphones for my parents. It has been several years since they got them, and I don't even have to provide technical support. Honestly, I see very little reason to unlock the phone.

That's exactly what it is. Code Golf is pretty fun to look at, check out the questions here: http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/

There's some cool techniques different people use to solve some seemingly major problems in just a few characters.

I tend to use names from different mythologies, so I usually end up with names like "osiris," "lorien," "cernunnos," etc. Makes for easy to remember names, and I never expect to run out of them.

What if the owner has no idea that his business even has an online presence? I can see that being very common amongst older business owners, especially if they have never even used Google before.

I've been reading through some of those goodies, and they all seem pretty cool, but I'm wondering how secure using the 4 word random passphrase generator[0] would be...

There will still be a need for dedicated computer programmers, but I think that if everyone had basic scripting knowledge or at least was not afraid of gaining that knowledge, the world would be a better place for it. And if more people understood what it took to program, there might be less under or overestimating of the value of a good programmer.

Yikes! At first glance I thought those were questions to Mr. Peck and thought it was fine, but if that's the signature.... It's a little presumptuous isn't it.

Look at "Which plan is right for you" on their pre-paid site: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans

It's also rather funny (or sad) that a lot of the posts are about the death of a person/project/business.

Yes! I would really like to subscribe to Netflix, but the lack of Linux support is stopping me. It would be nice to have a web client, but a native client would be a blessing for those of us that find web clients to decrease performance system wide.
