I felt so bad after I migrated to Red Hat (with 4.3, 5.0 was the disaster) that I migrated to NetBSD. Slackware is a good training ground for transition to a real UNIX because it's structured like one, with a proper standard init system. You can use all the classic old documentation, i.e. the O'Reilly UNIX and XWindow texts, and the Sobell books. There's nobody trying to cruft it up with Microsoftisms.
You need metalurgy to create a gun. You need mathematics to create a cryptographic messaging system. What is being proposed is a ban of cryptographic message systems. Not a revocation of mathematical laws. It would not necessarily mean wholesale implementation of mandatory back doors, it could simply mean being imprisoned for not surrendering a cryptograhic key when a warranted, with judicial review, demand is made to surrender said key.
I am not a full throated advocate for this. I am just trying to point out that hurr-durr carrying on in forums like this, acting like "they are trying to repeal the law of gravity" is dorky and non-productive.
Part of the reason I bought a retail box copy of Windows 10 now is to bank against the future when they go to subscription only. My copy is not the OEM version. I can install and use it on the system of my choice indefinitely. I hope. They've never doublecrossed me with retail box in the past. And it was only about $30 more than an OEM copy. The people who accepted the 'free upgrade' to Windows 10 are likely trapped when MS goes subscription.
I once had a Mac Plus that only had one floppy drive. Did they engineer that sound a classic Mac makes when it ejects the floppy specifically to sound annoying and dorky? On a single floppy Mac you spent most of your time listening to it as the Mac spits floppies and prompts for another.
For the record I would rather be back on 7. But Windows 10 isn't as bad as I had been lead to believe it would be. I am traditionally one to hold back on updating. I used Windows 2000 almost to the XP end-of-life. Windows 2000 is what killed Linux desktop.
The endpoint users by and large are not mathematicians. So a lot of the sporting around that people in this forum are engaging is is really irrelevant. The proposed law does not outlaw math, any more than a law outlawing guns outlaws metallurgy. It outlaws certain specialized pieces of software that less than 1% of the population could even begin to create. That makes it a law much easier to enforce than a law "outlawing math."
Common sense is dull, though. Sorry if I have at all interrupted the nerd fest. Carry on everyone!
Every pupil they process through has to be stamped with one 'brand' or another. They are trying to make up for a lack of quality with high volume.
If you had gotten your undergrad degree and instead of moving on in the world, never left campus, continuing on in post-grad and then nestling into the hive permanently, you would think like that, too.
They are stamping widgets for good pay. The carnys processing the marks.

Apple phones are safer than Galaxy Notes because even if the battery does catch fire, it will be a tiny fire that rapidly fizzles out.
The silver will retain it's worth. Five years later what is the Iphone worth?
I have old 486 motherboards where the ISA slot board edge connectors are branded Foxconn.
Mondo 2000 was the magazine that Wired was a bad sold-out imitation of.
In 1970 a 19" color television was $600.
The scientists better get cracking the, before the mass-extinction known as Lysol happens.
Coax is really low value at a copper scrapper. There is too much waste filler material for the copper to be easily recovered.

With a name like Oswald McWeany, the whole point is snark, no? Yer a special kind of troll. Don't ever change.

I bought a book with Volkerberg as co-author that had Slackware 95 as the cover CD-ROM. I've never heard of this Slackware 96 you refer too.

There aren't really open source development tools for "expensive fpgas". That is a fairly closed world.
Wtf? 99.99999% of what is made up bullshit from an iBot on a blog??

Do the 16 bit Windows prorams run on the OS/2 clone yet? That would represent a milepost.

We can just conceal the important secret message in a HUGE WALL OF TEXT!
Nobody will find it there!
They certainly aren't nerdy enough for Slashdot!
Let's pedant them some more, here on our forum!

Slashdot didn't die. Malda just sold it. It's been skidding along ever since. And that was a long time ago now.
