I HATE these chairs too. However, someone recently told me that they come in different sizes, so maybe mine was just the wrong size for me. I've also heard that what seems comfortable might not be best for you too.
There are 3 back rest configurations too: Lower back support, lubar support and no support.
I'm most comfortable with the no support option. You can convert either of the other two to this option by removing the black thing (it slides off sort of).
As far as sizes go, most tall and/or slightly overweight men need the C sized one, but definitely get a proper sized one.
If you go to high end office stores (sam flax here in atlanta) they'll have a few different sizes.
Well, sure. As the economy moves to be more global, jobs previously held by the US are now moving to China. Just a few weeks ago Goldman Sachs announced layoffs in the US, but added jobs in Singapore and Brazil. This is only going to continue.
Dropbox's sync indicator is still in the corner for me, just as it always has been, so it seems to work fine.
How is everyone's alt-tab performance? I've been trying to like it, but alt-tab is so slow that it's barely usable. I don't have another GNOME3 computer to compare it to, so I don't know if it's something wrong with my configuration or hardware.
I've been running Gnome 3 on Fedora 15 and Ubuntu 11.04 (via the PPA) on my Thinkpad W500 since April or so.
This laptop has a discrete (FireGL 5700) and integrated graphics (GMA 4500) chip I can toggle between for power management reasons. No performance issues, alt-tab or otherwise, under either.
It's been such a solid desktop that it's been my main development environment for these past few months.
alt+tab is the same speed as it always was. are you running on a really old pc by any chance?
Things I dislike about Gnome 3.0:
* Alt-tab is between apps, with alt+(thing above tab) for between windows in an app
* Super+L doesn't work from the zoomed out view
* Screen lock is partially broken: gnome-screensaver doesn't guarantee to lock the screen when switching users or suspending. It continues on whatever happens.
> with alt+(thing above tab) for between windows in an app
Wow, I really wish I would have known about that a long time ago. Alt-tab only working between applications was so annoying that I found an extension that reverted to an old-school alt-tab behavior, except now it operates between all windows regardless of what workspace they are on...
On my rather average 3-yo laptop without dedicated graphics, Alt-Tab works great if the system load is low, but if I have a lot of things going on, it can take a second to pop up.
Oddly, Super seems to work with less lag (though it stutters) than Alt-Tab for me while I'm running something resource-intensive.
On the other hand, typing anything in the activities overlay is very painful. I do it only by a mistake, because it's sooo slow, not only for the first time, but always. So is switching from Windows to Applications.
Unfortunately, just by glancing at article, you can see that they made comparisons by picking poor photographs on flickr and beautiful, colorful images for 500px. Bias much?
Could you add 'rm -rf' to histignore? I remember it works with patterns but can't remember if you can use it for specific commands. I'm not on my linux box now so I can't test it.
Not that I know of, but I bet we could pull enough people together to make this a regular thing. In fact, I wouldn't mind volunteering some time to get this started.
How did they have this already ready? Was this a previous phone design that they just rendered with Windows Phone 7, or had they been working with Microsoft already?
>The best part about this whole discovery, however, might be that it confirms Steve Ballmer's assertion that the engineers of both companies have "spent a lot of time on this already."
I saw speculation about Nokia switching to WP7 about as soon as Elop went to Nokia. It's hardly a surprise that they've been working on this stuff for a while.
(My parents are from Taiwan, they came to the states for grad school, I was born in the US)
To reply to your last statement: Some of the families that we know continue to discipline their children during college. In the case that they only have a single child, that means the family picks up and moves to the college town of choice. I would be curious to know how these kids fare in the workplace after college.
On the other hand, I have seen other families who have treated their children with strictness (where the parents were themselves teachers/professors), have their kids rebel against them in college. Their personalities did a complete 180 as they were suddenly relieved of the harsh treatment, which often landed them into trouble.
I am one of those kids who was pushed into piano at age 4. I'm not going to lie - I hated playing for maybe the first 3 or 4 years. My dad would sit with me and force me to practice over and over again. But one day, something clicked, and to this day I have a greater appreciation of music than any of my peers, and I also have a love of music that can only come from myself. I didn't need my dad to force me to practice - I wanted to.
I think that my parents eventually switched tactics during my childhood (for better or for worse) after they were convinced that I would choose a path for myself that wasn't detrimental. I'm thankful for that - I find that I have pursued a lot more hobbies on my own and experienced things that didn't fit the asian mentality.
Tim Cook's (non)response (via TechCrunch's live blog)...
Will not comment on the roadmap." No promise of a new CDMA iPhone in summer. Tim Cook: We chose CDMA because the LTE chipsets forced some design concepts that we would not make.
When will be able to see an LTE-enabled iPhone? A. We're not commenting on unannounced product.
That would be a significant engineering change (above and beyond CDMA that they have been working on for years, and for which chipsets are mature) and would essentially make it an iPhone 4.5. LTE will certainly come to the iPhone 5, due in just a few months.
