Comment Clonezilla is my advice (Score 1) 202

I would make a clean clonezilla image of one pre–setup for the restore after your project. Then after configuring one to your specifications make another image. Then clone the ubuntu image to the un touched ones. When the project is over re image them all to the original imag. If you use a samba server and image via network you should me able to the images in one batch maybe a days work.

I never said that cuts wouldn't need to be made but the elimination of ALL corporate tax incentives/breaks should limit this to a point but. we can start cutting with congressional salary's then the federal dept of education we can also eliminate most of the IRS under this plan. as for the military... As a Marine (2000-2004) one of the first things we can due is stop acting as the worlds police. oh we can also end all non humanitarian foreign aid. oh and get rid of Obama care, hmmm oh and we need to put tariffs on all imports from china until the start treating US company fairly in China and respecting us IP rights. how about eliminating federal grants too.

While a must admit as a SciFi fanboy and an Uber Geek I love the idea of being buried in space, I don't think that a tax break for doing so in in the best interest of Virginia or anybody really. In a honesty I believe that all tax breaks are unfair. I think that on of the biggest problem with the American economy is the convoluted tax system but, I have a SOLUTION. Here goes let me know what you think! Flush the entire tax code down the toilette, then implement on tax rate for everyone. 10% income tax on all income earned over $45,000. So, if you earn $60,000 your tax liability is $1500. this applies to every one married, single and corporation. so a 10 billion dollar business will pay $999,995,500 in taxes. no exception. period. This would replace FICA, medicare/medicaid all other federal taxes period. How did I come up with 10% you ask. Well if you have ever attended a church you will know that in most christian sects you are expected to tithe 10% to the church. I figure that if "god" can get by on 10% so should uncle Sam!! why set the cutoff for paying taxes at $45000? Well again it is kinda arbitrary. for a family (two wage earners and any number of children) that would allow for up to $90000 tax free. and save for a few places like NYC, and LA you should be able to live on that a year just fine. if you do live some place with outrageous cost of living Move! OK flame on and tell me how stupid you think I am but please give a good wel thought out reason.

Shows what you know. I have 3 in house developed applications that were built for android. That decision was made based on the openness of the platform compared to IOS. building custom in house application is far easier on android than IOS. Add that to the Superior features of the Transformer prime vs iPad2 and the better price the decision was easy. the two most important features that iPads don't have is GPS on a wifi only tablet, and upgrade able storage. oh and the fact that it looks better that the iPad and thinner doesn't hurt either. oh and the Quad core 1.3Ghz cpu is also nice..........oh and one more thing 32gb of base storage at the same price as the iPads 16gb model.............maybe you should upgrade to the transformer Prime and stop being an Apple Drone.......... but I Doubt a troll like you will.

as for those who are asking why I would replace my laptop with a tablet here are just a few my my reasons; Battery life, greater portability, simplicity (most of my needs are web based). I am not completely eliminating my laptop from the mix I just ordered a new battery and will be setting it up as a media pc connected to my Living room tv. on the rare occasion I will need to lug a real computer someplace I still can. what about a way to add fonts to android with out rooting?

A little Back ground I am purchasing an Asus Transformer Prime after Christmas as a gift to myself. My plan is to use this to replace my laptop complete for portable computing. I currently have a really nice desktop that doubles as a home server and, an Acer Aspire 6930 laptop for my mobile computing needs. With my laptop being 4 years old and the battery failing I want to replace it with a device with 10 hours of battery. Most of my computing consists of web surfing, social media, and some light typing -250 words or less 2-4 times a week. So far I have already selected several apps that should meet my needs including Polaris Office, and teamviewer to remote access my desktop. So are there and printing solutions for android printing to my network printer at home is good enough."
