The PBS series NOVA did a reenactment in an episode. The real people "played" themselves so there's some pretty stilted acting. And his girlfriend was a real sweetie.
I admit I don't keep up with this stuff. I thought the North Koreans were the bad guys I was supposed to be terrified of. Now it's the Russians? The vodka people? Damn, I only have so much time to be afraid. Make up your minds.
I don't develop for Linux but I do build keyboards & program them using TMK or QMK firmware. Getting a development environment for this stuff installed in Windows in the past has been a bear. I just yesterday installed the Linux subsystem and it really does work. This is great 'cause I'm about to begin another keyboard project & I don't need to dual boot just to build the firmware.
With the combo of his voice and dialog delivery Ron Glass was as unique an actor as any who have received much more recognition. A truly great actor....gonna miss ya, fella
My hardware is a Dell Optiplex 9010 - 3rd gen core I7, 16 gig of ram, CoolerMaster 500 watt PSU, GTX750Ti, Mushkin Reactor 1tb SSD. And this motherboard might as well be an engineering prototype from Intel. Every chip is Intel and even the "Dell drivers" downloaded from Dell support are just generic Intel driver packages.
But maybe you're right and this setup is just shitty hardware. But it's shitty hardware where Ubuntu 16.04 stumbles & Win 10 runs a treat. Maybe someday I'll buy some "good hardware" so I can run Ubuntu.
How do we know that? In the past Linus has always been very careful not to say what distro he uses out of caution that any mention by him would be considered an endorsement, as has apparently been done here. I've read him talking about desktop environments but never distros.
Just uninstalled Ubuntu 16.04 here after about three weeks & installed Win 10. The file manager in Ubuntu would constantly cease to function. If you clicked on the icon the background would pulse with changing color as if it were launching then, after about 20 seconds, the pulsing would stop. That's it - no response, error message, crash report - nothing. And it's not just a file manager, it also handles auto mounting of flash drives, external hard drives, etc..
There were also crashes of something in the background with the crash report icon appearing in the dock. But the freezing file manager was finally intolerable. I might have had more patience or tried to diagnose if this hadn't been a long term support release. I had to reboot Ubuntu 16.04 more than my time with Win 8, 8.1, & 10 combined.
If this is the best LTS release Ubuntu can come up with I'd advise using anything else.
At an island stop on a Caribbean cruise, the QE2 was in port along with my ship & some others. The QE2 sailors were in uniform as they snooped in the shops & strolled the streets. If you engaged them in conversation - no matter what the subject was - they would all manage to wedge in - "She'll do thirty knots!".
Decades ago I read in many photo magazines (remember them?) that one of the reasons that so many pros used Leicas was the superiority of the Zeiss lenses which contributed to the "Leica look". Images shot with a Leica just had a certain look, or quality, that the pros preferred over other cameras. Then I read an article by a fellow talking about the same thing but going into more depth and, among other things, explaining why, in an image from a Leica camera, even the out-of-focus elements looked better.
I thought it was all hooey 'till I bought an M6 and only then did I learn that it was all true. I got some neat shots with that camera and yes, photos shot with a Leica had that pop-off-the-paper look unlike any other camera I've owned.
I remember the THX intro on the Terminator 2 LaserDisc. I'd crank up the volume and I could hear the DDOooooooooWWAHHHHH and my wife yelling at me all at the same time.
Well, maybe. You don't save $ by having "control over your shipments", you'd save by making your shipping system more efficient than alternative shippers. FedEx & UPS are pretty darn good at it and have a lot of experience. Trying to break into that game would be costly and maybe foolhardy. Just the fleet management alone could be enough to eat up any "savings". Selling the service to other companies in addition to delivering your own stuff might work albeit not immediately profitable.
It might work out but I think you'd have to throw a lot of money at it to prime the pump.

Why would I trust Facebook with this instead of just buying a YubiKey? Is there somewhere the YubiKey won't work and this would?
Displaying initiative and ingenuity in order to work around idiotic managerial policies & decisions. Give 'em a raise!
Well, just goes to show how important to people that headphone jack was, doesn't it?

"The Brilliant Disaster" by Jim Rasenberger is a fascinating account of the Bay of Pigs invasion.

Obviously not a union member.
But hover is/was my favorite game from Microsoft - even beating out Pinball.

Oh and, yes, it runs Crysis.

How much does it usually cost?
Isn't that something like "Best Mexican wine"?
"Squirrel Girl"? ...oh my..

Way off-topic here

If you're getting your legal advice from ATT you need a real lawyer.

This is a joke, right? :wq

If Windows isn't bizarre & convoluted enough for you, now you can layer systemd on top of it?
