    Right. "/usr/bin/emacs is bloated because Emacs distributions often come with a lot of elisp packages, and there are even more all around the net"

    I agree that the lack of choice between standard and "awesome" address bars isn't a good thing, and surely there will soon be extensions that disable the new behavior.

    BTW, the awesome bar works pretty good for me. Kudos to FF dev team. I'd love to have a whole desktop environment based around such thing, like the Mac and Spotlight.

    Hm, I haven't thought about that. I'm from Poland, where things seem a little more logical in our speech. We say "12 stycznia" (like "12th day of January"), not "styczen 12". We also put ending quotation marks before the period, "like that".

    When I've been writing a simple backup script a few years ago, YYYY-MM-DD seemed the only logical way of writing dates. I just picked it up, and didn't knew until this moment that it's a standard. Why do people come up with such stupid things like mm/dd/yyyy?

    This "time" thingie everyone's talking about is very confusing to me.

    So, is it true that people outside Kazakhstan are dividing each day to sixty "hours" with smaller "minutes" and "twos"? Can't they just look at the sky to tell when will the sun go down?

    HDs are easily broken, but it's literally hard to really damage them. Long time ago a few dudes from my school had a hard drive smashing contest. They've treated it with everything but a screwdriver (including dropping it from the fifth floor) and they couldn't even open it :P so much energy wasted to deal with only ONE hard drive.

  18. Re:Bunches of small drives on What To Do With a Hundred Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    I second that. But 40GB? Man... One year ago I've squeezed a sufficiently featured Debian installation into 640MB HDD and it was my primary development workstation for a few days, and I was fine. Emacs, gcc, Python, Xorg, Wmii, some minor utils, and I've still had plenty (more than 60MB) space for some of my files. At the time that computer was bought (1996? 1997?), 640MB was a dream.

    The only drawback of that computer is that it now has a fscked COM port and I can't use a mouse (it has no USB). But hey, who needs a mouse?

    I've said that it's just my POV, you have right to disagree with it as much as I have right to be wrong. What's so bad about being wrong, misinformed, delusional, having a twisted view of reality, or an unpopular opinion? From someone else's POV, we *both* might be wrong.

    I'm just unhappy with people constantly discussing war, never actually discussing peace. I want finally someone not to say "you want peace? prepare for war", but "you want peace? prepare for peace".

    You know, if I would have to consider someone my ENEMY just because from my point of view they're (stupid|wrong|clueless|trolls)... ...Well, I'm speechless.

    Oh, and btw. Even if I live in a world made up of illusions, I think that my illusions are beautiful. I love living with them. After all, everything we ever had are only illusions, because there's no way to tell whether something is a perfect illusion or the reality.

    > however, due to human nature

    s/nature/ego/

    here, fixed for you.

    Very young children do not have ego. But parents are polluting their minds with a vision of a hostile, violent world. Kids often become exact mental copies of their parents. When you're born, you're a blank sheet of paper.

    Animals do not have ego. They never hunt more than they could eat. Period.

    When you're truly happy, you also don't have ego. You just keep laughing or smiling or whatever, you dance and sing, or you just sit or walk or run, swim, hack, climb, make love, sail, play guitar, or you do anything else, but you don't care what someone else thinks about what you're doing because you're just... happy.

    Think about what stops people from being happy, and you'll have an answer to what /really/ stops us from worldwide peace. And if your answer is: other people, then ask what is making these other people unhappy. This is my POV.

    Oh, and btw. I don't really care what anyone thinks about it. If you like war and stuff, fine, go murder some people. It is each one's own business what do they think about peace, happiness, the army, hippies, war, ego, love, USA or raising children. But I'd really love to see more people discussing peace rather than war.
