monevo  ·  4354 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Puerto Rico approves statehood

This is a bit old but what the heck!

it is both, in here there is a lot of pride in contests: boxing matches, beauty contests (miss universe)) and so forth... actually the most watched show is one about celebrity scandals! so that says a lot about this country i think

    Spanish will no longer be the official language We will stop being a nation No longer receive benefits without paying our due

there's more, but i stop paying attention after a while

first time i hear of this Newspaper though, good thing because there werent any when i tried to reply to this post last time!

sorry for taking this long, after this long... who cares about PR statehood now?

yeah, i basically have a bunch of reddit bookmarks because you can use reddit.com/r/subreddit+subreddit and thats a sort of profile/session so i can see feeds calmly and in an organized way (plus its a way out of reddit gold (yes, i am a bastard) :P

it is a majority, but shits gonna go down, theres a peaceful way of doing things, and im sure in the future that number will go up, if we make this a state right now... well i dont want to live here anymore because theres enough protests as is

monevo  ·  4398 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Puerto Rico approves statehood

im sorry but 54% to me doesnt look like a "clear majority"

that does mean that if congress were to make this a state, 46% of the population would give a huge outcry, and nobody wants that

Can someone explain to me why this is important?

monevo  ·  3207 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Free speech is exhausting

The thing is, you dont, you're not the ambassador of latin america, you get to speak for yourself (barely) and thats it. be an asshole for a while or get better friends or none at all. its not as bad as it seems.

(also, wtf? theres education in puerto rico. do they think its some sort of third world country?)

How's the resource management? any good? the only decent browsers out there for mobile are IE and opera 11. everything else is a complete hog.

also don't delete something stable for something experimental. (bad title.)

not really, a check in all schools by a psychiatrist at the start of the year, i think it would be okay, I see it more as a free diagnosis than a privacy thing... as long as i know what i've been diagnosed with

im currently learning forth because i found C to be a bit confusing, i can only wonder how big of a damage is this making to me, but it seems fun

it only runs chrome?

monevo  ·  4331 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Netbooks will no longer be made in 2013

you can also just get a keyboard/mouse for tablets, and a stand as well, so not only has it become more portable but also modular, so nothing negative about this.

monevo  ·  4331 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: The Unreasonable Effectiveness of C

quite frankly xorg was painless to install, however i keep it as lean as possible, Ill get back to you on this.

Haven't compiled pypy but the longest i've gotten is firefox which i gave up on because after a couple of hours it maxed out the swap! should've paid attention to the notice of "you cant compile on anything with less than 1gb ram"

monevo  ·  4331 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Netbooks will no longer be made in 2013

thats a notebook which is different, so possibly not

monevo  ·  4335 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: The Unreasonable Effectiveness of C

i find it lovely when i need to compile boost, its almost like its made for you to not compile it or anything that uses it, use a source based distribution and you'll be as angry as me

no escapes, 'strings are better and more reliable'

need a string in the string? '' will yield a string

kind of sad too, i was just about to get one

It should've had a bit more shelf-life, and with the raspberry-pi it would've been as cheap as they come too!
