Or, you could just do make localmodconfig; this only builds the modules you currently have loaded. You could make local yes config and simply do away with modules altogether, if you are sure that your HW setup isn't gonna change much. My experience is that most situations with USB are covered pretty well by the usb-storage modules and everything else can be builtin. Just to give more options to keep it lean-n-mean
Just owning all the Abble products isn't enough to make one completely ghey; you have to actually use them as intended. Even if you DID jack off while wearing the iWatch, it wouldn't give them your pulse correctly since Abble has such a closed ecosystem, its not like GNU is gonna help them. HOWEVER Abble users switching to teh lunis is *PROOF* that homosexuality is a *choice* and IT CAN BE CURED The one time I went to the Abble store at the mall, the resident ghey Socialst came up to me in his Speedos and offered me a tiny cup of Froot Loops; he explained that sadly, they had to cut back on the portion size because they were running out of money. I politely turned them down because I wasn't sure what they were glazed with. And his iWatch had the wrong time. At least they're not stealing ideas from xerox anymore....
You can get the same dinner in Buffalo for less than $100. As for a NAS, I never throw out old HDD's until they physically fail. An old 80 gig drive is plenty to backup/home
He's not BS'ing. ZFS on linux has been tried as a userspace filesystem (via FUSE, among other efforts...), and its nowhere near as good as a native, in-kernel implementation. Doing the FS in userspace actually costs more in raw performance.
It could be worse. I've seen threads dating to around 2001 where the GNAA got into a bot-posting war with the My Clean PC guy (anyone else remember those guys?). Slashdot was basically unusable for an entire weekend as every topic filled up with hundreds of copypasta...... so, lately its actually been pretty quiet around here, IMHO.
I think its an open ended thing, but if I had to confinge "innivation" to just western technology, I would say between the Age of Enlightenment (1600's), and WW2. I go back that far because that is when some truly free thinking began via the great western philosophers.
Hey, I remember voting in my town to allow the cable company. They said our subscription fees meant better reception and no ads. That lasted all of a year.
Cost reduction isn't gonna happen either. The price of the end prioduct is always going to go up unless the entire line is being dropped.
And yet they will *always* find some excuse to price things as high as they can get away with. Historically they stop getting away with it when their entre company is destroyed somehow. But by then you've created another Rockefeller or Bell Telephone or US Steel....
True, they were good space heaters. My last Ppro box has dual CPU's on a full-size board with no fans....still sitting there ready to go. Current top-of-the-line CPU's are around the same thermal envelope tho IIRC which is valid because the PPro was the top chip in its day. (actually that is even debateable, IMHO PA-RISC and Alpha blow them all out of the water but those aren't exactly common consumer items)
Thank you, this is exactly the point I was trying to make in my post further up the thread. Mainly, that the mainstream media is completely in the pockets of private interests in the USA, and they have their own agenda just like Facebook. I see that some insecure partisan hack gave me a flamebait pioint for pointing this out:D
You'd be amazed how far the mainstream media went to suppress liberal views this election cycle. In particular, the behavior of the NY Times and Washington Post became indefensible. So, it goes both ways.
You might be surprised how snappy a P-Pro 200 feels on the desktop with a lightweight setup such as xfce. But thats definitely a situation where its better to recompile. Recent mainstream distros and their derivatives are absolute pigs with little if any regard for efficiency. Modern distros remind me of firing up a full-blown JVM for a simple text editor
I think that was GoDaddy, but I can't remember shit anymore... think thats why we invented these darn machines! I need someone to tell me who to be pissed at! So I can throw my walker at them!
I certified on Solidworks and Mastercam in 2013. That said, I'm looking at FreeCad. Still no replacement for MasterCam tho. And I'm willing to bet that SolidWorks is far more featureful, stable and powerful. I'm a linux guy all the way, but I'm honest enough to admit when a proprietary package on win actually is superior. At home I've been on nothing but linux since 1997. Work is a different story, nobody wants to jump through hoops to make 10 grand worth of software functional.
I don't do any of that because I'm not in IT at all, I'm in manufacturing, or whats left of it. Having said that, I have done some programming (a long time ago) in VB. I try to stick with straight c and bash scripting for my own stuff.
At work, windows is an absolute requirement; Much proprietary and expensive production software requires it. Our customers all supply their files in these formats. Our in-house engineering requires it. I was certified for SolidWorks and AutoCad 2013, and also MasterCam. Programming CNC code written by hand, but all you need for that is a text editor. Nowdays I don't do much of any of that either, I'm more old-school hands on.
So, even tho I'm a linux guy, I'm pretty realistic about it -- sometimes the windows software actually *is* better, like it or not. OTOH I won't allow a windows box to go online, full stop -- the work machines are *all* airgapped, and the USB ports full of superglue. One workstation is easily $8,000 worth of software, the company will *not* be happy if it gets bunged by some malware.
Lets talk about inflation. If the minimum wage had kept up with it, it would be over $20 an hour.
The market isn't much different now in terms of opacity (Nobody has ever shown me how a free market actually exists when there are no rational actors and not enough honest info).
Environmental damage and health care most certainly are taxes, it would be nice to see the natural persons have the same rights and responsibilities as the corporate persons. Or vice-versa. It would be even nicer to find them actually following regulations (I work for outfits that could be shutdown in a heartbeat if they hadn't bought off all the local pols). You wanna live in that kind of world??
And ultimately, that is my point. Just for the record, IMHO the way the deck has been stacked by the corporates is absolutely wrong and will ultimately lead to the downfall of civilization. See the Enclosure Laws or 1789 France for example. Meanwhile whatever amount the big boys aren't paying, is being picked up by the middle and lower classes. Getting squeezed from both ends. In other words, this is nothing new, it has happened before and it will happen again.
Hey shill: I paid ~21% on a gross of 26k last year. That is *after* the refund. Guess what, that was in a "real" job, too, in a field where I have ~25 yrs experience+ school that *I* am paying for. Because "race to the bottom". This is in one of the top 5 most expensive states in the USA.
You're an idiot if you think lower taxes are going to benefit anyone outside of the.1%. You're gullible if you think that private enterprise is going to benefit anyone other than the owners, except as a matter of coincidence. You're even more gullible if you truly believe that private enterprise is going to substitute for social programs.
Taxes have been going down since the 1950's so why isn't the economy booming ?? And if the economy *was* booming like they said it would then we wouldn't *need* social programs now, would we?

Now i'll gladly vote to revoke the deal.

Why is my tax paying lower-class ass subsidizing these corporate welfare queens ?? Great research site BTW...

We spend more than that on useless military intervention that nobody benefits from. So what is your point?
I would not be surprised of their IT guy/sysadmin was actually CIA.
