It is particularly useful to run Transmission and download torrents .

they won't need the greenhouse for very long. in a few years it'll be warm enough to grow figs outside without the greenhouse
Sounds like a lobotomy experiment. Successful at the time, but 50 years later doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore.
Is there any way you could make an eclipse plugin for this? This is what developers in a company usually use, and that is where the code is written. This tool is useful for a coding interview maybe...

Yes, you can. There is no separation between the data, it's the same data, you access it normally from both. There's even Total Command for Android, which works very similar to the windows version.

I've been using a Dex for about 6 months, exclusively, including now. It has some annoying bugs: * you can't select text very well, only in some cases (for example in the browser address bar) * some applications simply can't run (for example firefox mobile), but they are very few * zoom with the scroll doesn't work in most cases (google maps) * can't zoom in with the scroll in the browser , and when it does, the increments are very high, can't be customized and they are forgotten when you close the page. * all pages open in mobile mode and you have to click "desktop mode" for each and every one of them that is not displayed like you want. * reading PDFs is impossible because you can't customize the zoom (may be a deal breaker for students), and with a big monitor you get big text, not possible to read. * most bitcoin wallets don't work with the ledger nano s on android, (I use my work computer for transactions).

But despite these, overall it's been a decent experience. I download torrents like I did on my PC, I watch movies. I have all my data with me at all times, which I like very much. I used to have a laptop but it was mostly furniture; with a small kid at home I didn't have time to even open it in most nights. And when I did have time, all I did was watch a movie or download a torrent, which is what I do with the Dex anyway.

I wish it would've had a USB 3.0 port.

Yes, they will if you wear the proper size

Are RGP lenses less likely to cause this disease than normal soft lenses (daily or monthly)?
I don't understand why this was voted down. The sources were trusted and the news was accurate.
Breaking news: From some undisclosed confirmed sources, it appears they discovered a new planet after Pluto. Could this be planet Nibiru?
