we have similar contest, but in the University, and it was for the longest (time) flight, not the farthest. Among all guys that tries different setups the contest won... a girl (to make it even more awesome, I think she was the only female contest member :D) :)

The first question I had while reading this - can't Sony check the localization or something like console ID that the account is logging into? I can't believe stealing these accounts is so un-revertable! :|

I've noticed that many people comment my attitude like this, but I've noticed that the less I care, the more happy life I live (and my friends as well).

Caring about politics is a total waste of time and energy - in my opinion it's just better to turn these resources into e.g. earning more money than e.g. thinking how much politicians are "stealing" it from us - I think that's the main reason why people are so angry these days and live unhappy lifes

_mrmnmly | 7 years ago | on: What laptop are you using for your day to day work and why?

For the last 5+ years I've been using ZenBook UX32LN - it's still the best machine I've bought (I've replaced my MacBook 2012 for it with no regrets).

I was working linux for these years on it, but switched recently to Windows 10 + Microsoft's linux subsystem thingie - it works pretty nice - once this machine will totally break I think I'll consider one of Surface Books since the OS is not a problem for me anymore.

Why I work on it? It's fast (SSD + i7 (even if it's an outdated model) + 12GB of RAM) makes it really reliable for fullstack development. Besides that, 13" Screen is enough for me, makes it pretty mobile machine.

agree. I'm from Poland but since the beginning of my programming career I've been working mostly for abroad companies (because of earnings).

And about the politics... Only people that want to play into 'politics' game really cares what's happening here - other people just don't care and live happily.

that's why I hate dealing anything via phone.

When someone calls me (it's a recruiter, or other) I've almost always put him/her down with the line: 'Please send me a text message, e.g. an e-mail and call me back tomorrow' or something - I prefer read information first, think over it, and then do the answer.

But I think that's the main objective of phone scammers to fool you around and put the quick (bad) answer on you.
