How about just remembering the Star Wars franchise as it was, and forgetting about any reboots? Because let's face it, the last couple of films were just marketing ploys and full of crap. They were obviously made just to make some more money, nothing else. Catered to the lowest social denominator. Just like everything Americans do these days, because having millions annually is not enough. Morals/ethics has been shot at least to the moon, and creativity has been buried as deep as hell, possibly.
Maybe he should just stay there. Or maybe he could even take some of other "disciples" with him. Please stay there for as long as you want. Marvel at the beautiful, blue, *round* planet.:)
Best post in the whole thread. It is exactly what is making things in Linux too complicated. It is not the amount of distros or desktop environments. When it comes to distros, there are really just a handful of really good ones, and the same with desktop environments. People who say "oh there are so many distributions and desktop environments, it's confusing!" are just newbies who have no experience with Linux. For me, after using Linux for quite a while, the list of distributions comes down to Debian, Fedora, RHL, Slackware, Ubuntu, Mint, Gentoo, and you can just forget about other ones. With desktop environments, for me it all comes down to MATE, XFCE, LXDE, or KDE. Now I'm not saying you should restrain yourself to only these choices, but these are definitely more safe choices for everyone.
With Windows you have no choice. I can actually hear George Carlin saying this.;)
Thanks!
As fascinating as a rotting banana watching itself rot. At the Hyde Park, of course.
It would be more fascinating if he just made music, and not the $popcharts type. I would be eager to listen to that.
As soon as politicians started thinking about the Internet, I knew it would be ruined and gone. Such a shame. It was so good while it lasted. Such sense of freedom. No borders and shit. I guess we'll have to invent something else to keep the humanity connected without borders and stupid politicians.
The 1% have been getting their free money in droves for centuries for sitting on their arses and waving their genoms, so why such a resistance to giving free money to everybody? Money has to come from somewhere? Well, to 1% money comes from the rest, in droves. Do they deserve it? Why? I tend to think we all deserve a little bit of that for just sitting on our arse, too.
Regarding time, if you know how to cook or bake, it will take you the same amount of time to make a soup, salad, grilled veg. People buy all that instant soup, noodles, coffee, and they don't realise it takes the same amount of time and effort. You get a perfectly nice soup, for example, by just putting some veg into water and cooking it for 10-15 minutes. It also makes the vegetables less saggy and more nutritious.
Regarding money, I absolutely see no point there, as basic and very healthy vegetables and fruits like carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, apples, oranges, cabbage, beans, kale... are really cheap. You don't need to eat Tarkelian beans, Ferengi potatoes, Tibetan cabbage [made up names;)], or anything fancy to have a healthy and low calorie meal. Vegetables being expensive in comparison to prepared food is a complete nonsense. Have you every tried? Even pre-packaged vegetables are more expensive than fresh.
I don't think gene therapy is the right solution, especially because it doesn't address the main problem: people eat too much shitty food. Too much of something I don't even call "food". I'm of reasonable weight for my age, but I can thank that only to my lifestyle: no sweets, no fast food, no snacks, no sandwiches. Just normal food made from fresh vegetables and ingredients bought at the farmer's market, 3 times a day. No special diet will ever solve the obesity problem because people can't stick to any of those diets and make it a lifestyle.
So I'm a proponent of brain surgery. Just remove the part of the brain that is responsible for craving sweets, snacks, pastry, hot-dogs... fast food in general, and you remove the obesity problem. Kinda half-joking, of course. But it's the only solution to make people eat a sensible and healthy, sustainable diet, and make it a lifestyle.
Those are the words you would use when talking to a 12 yo or younger. Are we all becoming kids now? A grown up will know how and when to swear, and when to use baby/kid talk.
Indeed. How about "everyone is having a normal living" instead. If you have a roof over your head, 3 proper meals per day, and a bathroom, you are not poor.
Exactly. Installing VirtualBox with any of the great Linux distros works like a charm. I almost don't understand why would someone pay for this crippled solution.
I can't understand why all parts of the network should be accessible remotely? At least they should keep the critical systems offline, and just part of a separate, internal network. So the solution is simple, but why are these people not able to see it?

And then again my Nokia 9800 is absolutely secure because nobody would want it but me. ;)

Oh, someone who understands. Big up to you sir. d= :)
One thing: he didn't have to pay any rents as far as I'm aware, so that's good for him.
This, yes. d= ;)

Microsoft should change its name to Megahard, but that would sound too much like a porn name. Oh wait...

How much better is the world now? How many people are better off? How many animals are saved? No "pi" for them, eh?
Audiophiles can finally have their perfect speaker cables.
The most laughable thing is - they don't understand a fucking shit about how Internet works. LOL

I keep misreading things... I read "All 10 remaining Windows users are encouraged to switch to Linux NOW!" lol
Why do I keep seeing "Microsoft Suggests Windows 10 Users Switch To Linux or MacOS As Support Winds Down"? :)

In laymen terms, it's like a penis up your arse, covertly. ;)

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, good point. They actually do that already and a lot of them have houses elsewhere besides the US.
What do you mean "gone"? Rich people will never be gone. Unless you're planning to kill them all?
