A friend in high school introduced me to linux back before internet access was common (BBS FTW!)
I'm pretty sure it was Slackware. For several years after that I'd switch back and forth between linux and windows. As I started to accumulate computers I would keep just one Windows for games and the rest linux. I remember using Redhat, Mandrake and probably a few others.
Then I discovered the Linux from Scratch project. After I got tired of maintaining my own bash scripts to recompile everything I looked into some project called Gentoo.
Grow up, folks. They're trying to solve one of the biggest problems facing the world.
Actually they are not, which is why they may succeed.
They are trying to make a kick-ass car. People don't want to drive a large golf cart just to "save the planet", or at least not enough of those people exist to form a market.
With the singular exception of battery life / recharge time electric vehicles are superior in every way to internal combustion engine vehicles. They have better torque characteristics, less moving parts and simpler maintenance. Once battery technology advances enough that the range is acceptable, electric cars will take over from combustion engine cars because they are simply better vehicles.
That sounds like something you'd reverse the polarity on to get a couple more tenths of a Warp speed when attempting to out run the Vrzn or Sprnt probes.
Believe it or not, the time domain reflectometer is real technology, and not particularly new either.
And take a close look at that graph. Last time lending peaked, there was the Great Depression; lending fell drastically, while government borrowing rose considerably
That graph shows the ratio of debt to GDP. It spiked in 1934 because borrowing rose and also because GDP shrank.
Now look at the right side. We exceeded the peak achieved during the great depression while our economy was still growing. The decline in GDP just got started...
Not really. At least, not all that much (for instance, many people seem to be happy to finance the purchase of a house using compounds interest, and a not inconsequential number of those people manage to end up owning a home).
And we all know that this is working out just fine at the moment.
And I do think that this sucks, but we are still pretty far away from unsustainable (with hints of going for it over the next few years, but why hope for the worst?).
Hope has nothing to do with it. Math does not change based on hope, desires or votes in congress. See the graph in this article.
What would the DPRK possibly benefit by nuking Japan, other than the safe knowledge they'd need a pretty accurate stopwatch to measure the very short span of time between them doing that and their government being vaporized as every other nation on Earth expressed their displeasure with large amounts of ordinance.
I expect the government of the DPRK to behave about as rationally as the US government... Actually I think they gave the government too much credit in that video.
Slashdot Mirror
Your grammar is a little ambiguous. "those" could refer to "numbers" or it could refer to "estimates".
I'm going to assume that it refers it means "numbers" because after all, this is Slashdot and people do not admit to being wrong on the internet.

I expect that I'll be using Gentoo for a while.
It's great most of the time, but sometimes you need an air conditioner. We can't all live in perfect climates.
I bet you don't live in a location that frequently experiences >90% humidity and >100F temperatures at the same time in the summer.
The audacity of hope.
Don't worry, they are still going to implement the carbon tax. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Take action
We might as well give up. The country is lost. If you can't beat 'em - join 'em.
Repeat after me:
Four legs good - two legs bad
Four legs good - two legs bad
If you only allow public key authentication then there's really no need to bother blocking them: you'll never block the entire botnet.
Just let them try - they'll never guess the right private key.
Two possibilities:
Take your pick
Which is why they are leveraging their success with the Roadster to build the model S at $50,000.
Then they will release the bluestar at $30,000.
See a pattern here?

You say that now before you've ever driven one.
Every review I have read states that this is the one of the most enjoyable cars to drive ever made, electric or otherwise.
Come on, is it really?
Translation: if I can't afford to pay for my water, then I'm going to make you pay my share for me.
Taxpayers subsidising the cost of water and the government enacting price controls?
If that's not socialistic then what is?
The worst part is that I was reading for a while before I decided to register a user account, as I didn't see the point.
If only I'd known then what I know now...
evaporative is cheaper
And that's why socialism is such a great idea
"Of course I have the right to live in a city even if I can't afford the basic necessities of life in the middle of a desert"
Believe it or not, the time domain reflectometer is real technology, and not particularly new either.
I'm sure the North Koreans are terrified

The point is that we are pissing away all our money.
Compound interest is a bitch when you're in debt.
