That's the pinnacle of watchmaking right there, even if you don't like it anyway.

Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

This shit should be banned. Blackboard teaching is the only viable way to do it. Prove me wrong. I don't care who you are, or what you have behind your belt, if you teach like this, you are a worthless, lazy piece of shit, who doesn't know the domain that well, if you need to read your slides every year in front of the students.

Presentations worked years ago because students seemed much more interested in the subject when a projector was present in the class. Not anymore, though.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Whats up with overwatch and their annoying updates? Feels like they update the game every other day.
The worst thing is that you still cant choose which brawl mode you want to play.

Title says it all. Looking for something to use where I can throw up articles. I'd prefer not having to learn new shit, but it's not a total dealbreaker.
What I already know: Bash scripting, nodejs, mongodb, spectrum BASIC.
What are my best options for throwing something up? I want to spend as little time fucking about with this and get on to writing content ASAP.
TIA.

Hey /g/, I made a new 4chan archive.
Right now, it only archives /g/.
It's running on a $150/month Azure server (courtesy of Bizspark).
What do you think? Should I archive more boards?

Azure has very high bandwidth caps as far as I know. I have $150 per month in Bizspark to use on this until mid 2019, so it should run until then unless I try to stop it.
