  3. Freedom? on Ask Slashdot: Is Computing As Cool and Fun As It Once Was? · · Score: 1

    The Arduino, Parallax propeller, and Raspberry Pi are all more powerful than the Commodore 64. The can only take away the things they can see.

    Have you tried a university library? They have crazy numbers of back issues of nearly every journal.

    Because we aren't ready for the next Chicxulib crater event... or even the loss of the moon....

  14. Re: Here's a clue about every government on Earth on It's Time To Kill the $100 Bill, Says Larry Summers · · Score: 1

    Silver is soft, anyone can make coins from it... Just mark it with the purity and the weight and it's value is easily determined. Mill and reed the edges so the coin can't be easily shaved, and there you go...

  17. Fear of AI on What AI Experts Think About the Existential Risk of AI · · Score: 1

    If programmers are afraid of AI, perhaps we should question the competency of the other software they have produced. Perhaps they are afraid of their own ineptitude.

    Will the drivers work with Debian? That's my only question.

    I think it was the 'go team' effect. People had a share in building it up and felt like part of community... I didn't start using it until 1995, and Not being a person who thinks in C or assembly didn't have much to contribute at the time... Always been a proud user though... I love the simplicity, elegance and low overhead of shell scripts for getting things done and automated.

    LEO is low earth orbit, not lunar orbit.

  23. new category? on AT&T Says 10Mbps Is Too Fast For "Broadband," 4Mbps Is Enough · · Score: 1
