  7. Cheap? CD. on Ubuntu Quietly Raises Install Image Size to 2GB (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I don't mind giving away CDs because I have shitloads of them and they're cheap. But not too many distros fit on a CD any more. Bodhi and Puppy that I know of.
    If I could find 2 GB flash drives for 25 cents I'd change my mind.

  8. Re:Why would anyone want Linux on the desktop? on Windows Desktop Market Share Drops Below 90% (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know, they call me from "Microsoft" in the afternoon here.

  14. Re:Older models ? on Over 135 Million Routers Vulnerable To Denial-of-service Flaw (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Dude, are they paying a rental fee for that modem? If so go to eBay and get another used one for ten bucks like I did, and ask TWC where to return theirs. They have no problem with that, because your folks are the last people to still be renting.

    I hope they're not still renting a land line phone too.

  15. Re:Does this include Mint installs? on Infographic: Ubuntu Linux Is Everywhere · · Score: 1

    Distrowatch interest does not equal installs. Gives you a rough idea, that's about it. Also, remember that there is Ubuntu MATE, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and a few more *buntus lurking around.

    HP used upside down nameplates to sell their cheaper test equipment under the Dymec brand. So maybe they could do that again.

  23. Re:Women's misery is inexcusable on The Spread of Ignorance (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    "Science" has not given up. "Modern Medicine" has sold out to drug companies.

    Menstrual difficulties can be understood and usually treated, sometimes with raw vegetables as you noted. Sometimes with lifestyle changes, like reducing caffeine, exercise, gaining or losing weight.... all depending on what is the problem. But modern medicine wants to prescribe a pill and get you out of the office.

  25. President Trump will shut that down on Half of Scotland's Energy Consumption Came From Renewables Last Year (heraldscotland.com) · · Score: 1

    He'll build a wall around Scotland tall enough to reduce the wind to near zero. Then he can build his golf courses without looking at those windmills.
