A lot of people don't know this, but Sony did test a live version of their PS2 Linux distro I was told performance was an issue, even more so than the standard PS2 Linux release.
Getting mentioned on ArsTechnica or Slashdot, isn't advertising. Neither was Sony having the openplatform site, which wasn't originally indexed by search engines.
OtherOS mostly existed as a way to try to classify the PS3 as a personal computer rather than an entertainment device, which would have meant it would have been taxed at a lower rate in a lot of countries
Why does this wrong idea never die? Linux on the PS3 (and PS2 for that matter) post dates the removal of the tariff. It was simply NOT the reason for Linux on the PS2/PS3..
What you're thinking of is the YaBasic disc included with EU PS2's. THAT was the attempt to dodge the tariff, not Linux.
You personally may think they are synonyms but they haven't been synonyms for a few decades now. Didn't you get the memo?
Abnormal. Up until a few years ago one could be expected to be generous and humour them so as not to hurt their feelings, but their more recent antics require a pushback of some kind.
People might say the same thing about aspies. But what are the antics you are referring to? Besides, those that tend to use the term "pushback" tend to be the kinds of people who are upset they have to be nice to people that they weren't expected to be nice to in the past.
Why should we view a woman calling herself a man â" or the other way around â" any differently?
Because it IS different. There aren't a large number of people claiming to be Napoleon, but transgender people have existed throughout history, this isn't something new.
Only it's Maine but similar in many ways. I also figured that I'd practice my writing skills and make it more interesting to read.
Should have thrown in some "ayuh" like that Stephen King writter fella.
Now if I could just get them to stop asking me damned computer questions. One of the stupidest things I did was say, "Oh, sure, I can fix that for you. No, no I won't charge you a dime - it'll give me something to do!" But, live and learn..
NEVER admit to knowing anything about computers! Luckily, I can always use the excuse that I don't know Windows.
I live a couple of hours away from Chicago, and I can tell you in no uncertain terms that suburbanites HATE to be considered part of Chicago. Well the "white" suburbs anyway.
But as I said, the City isn't the blame for the casualties, the people who made the decisions that economically affected Harvey/Gary/etc to cause them the trouble they're having are. And those people tend to have titles like CEO, CFO, Stock Analyst, etc etc.
As I said, do you think Harvey would have it's problems if it and other communities like it made things like TV's, iPhones, Computers, recliners, shoes, clothing, etc etc.
Wealthy city governments love to push their problem areas into administratively separate entities; even across state lines if they can.
I don't think you can blame the city governments for these issues, when some these towns were originally company towns. From what I see almost all these towns were blue-collar manufacturing towns with labor provided by the Great Migration.
So if you want to see what caused these rates? Well look in the mirror.
Imagine an early 1970's blue collar worker looking to buy a new radio. Gas prices are high so he's looking for a low price. He goes around and finds several ones for various prices. Because inflation and gas prices are seriously affecting his wallet, he buys the one from a discounter that bought cheap ones from taiwan rather than from say Montgomery Wards or Sears which have them made for their house brands in american factories.
And THAT is one of the reasons why people are dying. You think the loss of blue-collar manufacturing jobs doesn't have blowback? And as "Tech guys" Slashdotters are next for the outsourcing guillotine. Maybe this could have been stopped if we as a people hadn't thrown communities like Harvey or Gary or Newark under the bus just so we could have cheap stuff and fool ourselves that our economic lifestyles weren't trending downward
15 and 11 have long been independent communities. While part of The Chicagto Greater Metropolitan area, they are NOT Chicago and are not governed by the City's Government. They are suburbs. Harvey was founded as a Temperance town,
What is happening in harvey is fallout from the switch to JIT manufacturing overseas. Harvey like most of the other cities in that list were blue-collar manufacturing towns with cheap labor provided by the Great Migration.
You think those towns would have those crime statistics if they manufactured TV's, computers and iPhones?
Chicago can't incoporate Gary or East Chicago....they're in INDIANA! Besides, they're long time communities in their own right, one of which was founded by a steel company, they don't want to be incorprated by the city.
Today, the US homicide rate is around 5. The dangerous US cities, like Chicago and Washington DC are around 15. Even Detroit is only 45.
I don't know why those cities are considered dangerous when there are cities with worse rates. Chicago isn't even in the top 100 in homicide rate. Last I checked the bad spots were almost all "smaller" cities, not LA, Chicago, NY or DC http://www.neighborhoodscout.c...

That's because you're an ignoranus who hasn't heard of enigmail, which lets you use GPG with webgmail.
Enigmail is a plugin for Thunderbird and the e-mail component of Seamonkey, it isn't a plugin for firefox. You're probably thinking of either Mailvelope, FireGPG or WebPG, which are addons for Firefox.
The statement that "no one" uses encryption is a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? While I can't send an encrypted mail to a random person, what I can do is tell them how to set up PGP or S/MIME so that they can use encrypted e-mail. While that's not "one button easy" it's not overly difficult.
Then again, I've not used it in a while (I am not even sure if there's a Linux client any more)
Nope, just checked. They still have a Linux package version of the browser, but it's Ubuntu deb. They used to offer all sorts of versions of it, including PPC Linux.
I'd use Claws-Mail myself, but it is sorely lacking support for HTML email
Do you mean displaying HTML e-mail or composing it, because Claws-mail can display HTML e-mail just fine using the "Fancy" plugin, though I don't think that is loaded by default.
If you mean composing HTML, claws-mail will never support that feature. You can, of course, attach an HTML file.
While you CAN do that, and while I have personally done that for limited periods of time, it's not as optimal as handling those accounts with a real e-mail client.
Sylpheed? SYLPHEED? Why anyone would recommend Sylpheed in 2015 when Claws-Mail (a superior fork) exists is beyond me. About the only people still using Sylpheed instead of Claws are Japanese.
All systemd logging can be forwarded to syslog in plain text format, standard feature enabled by a single edit in:/etc/systemd/journald.conf
It can also be enabled on a per boot basis with a simple addition to the kernel boot parameters
ForwardToSyslog=, ForwardToKMsg=, ForwardToConsole=, ForwardToWall=
Control whether log messages received by the journal daemon shall
be forwarded to a traditional syslog daemon, to the kernel log
buffer (kmsg), to the system console, or sent as wall messages to
all logged-in users. These options take boolean arguments. If
forwarding to syslog is enabled but nothing reads messages from the
socket, forwarding to syslog has no effect. By default, only
forwarding to wall is enabled. These settings may be overridden at
boot time with the kernel command line options
"systemd.journald.forward_to_syslog=",
"systemd.journald.forward_to_kmsg=",
"systemd.journald.forward_to_console=", and
"systemd.journald.forward_to_wall=". When forwarding to the
console, the TTY to log to can be changed with TTYPath=, described
below.
On the PS3 I personally know the X52 does. Also the X45 and Thrustmaster T-Flight do as well. Yes, standard PC USB ones, the PS3 badged version of the T-Flight is just the PC one with different labels on it.
You can also use PC HOTAS with Birds of Steel and at least the X52 is supported in Apache Air Assault.
Does the same HOTAS work with Elite Dangerous?
We don't know...yet. Microsoft doesn't usually support alternate controls like Sony does. So we'll have to wait for the PS4 version.
I really can't even find the HOTAS for Xbone or PS4 you speak of. Which is it? Is it really the whole HOTAS, and not just a stick? Is it made especially for the console?
The only game I know of so far that has HOTAS support on the PS4 is War Thunder. In which case you can use a standard USB PC HOTAS like an X52, T-flight, Warthog, etc etc. Rudder pedals are also supported as is using the PS4 camera for view control a la TrackIR Great for planes...not so much for tanks.
Sadly the other air combat games on the PS4 don't have HOTAS support as far as I know.

Because it IS different. There aren't a large number of people claiming to be Napoleon, but transgender people have existed throughout history, this isn't something new.
And a human being born with a penis yet without a womb is a male.
That's not an accurate statement. Sex and gender are two different things.
One is what is what is between your legs, the other is how you feel and identify.
Only it's Maine but similar in many ways. I also figured that I'd practice my writing skills and make it more interesting to read.

It's pretty obvious considering the amount of money Gates, Zuck, Walton have stockpiled that success isn't being punished.

Detroit is a small city???
Compared to Chicago, NY or LA, yes. And you may be thinking of the "old detroit" which was in the top 10 once, not the current version.
But notice the lack of Chicago, NY and LA.
Today, the US homicide rate is around 5. The dangerous US cities, like Chicago and Washington DC are around 15. Even Detroit is only 45.

And they can do that with Yahoo Mail or GMail?
Yes, either with an e-mail client over IMAP/POP or via a browser addon.
You're completely overestimating how many people are going to bother if it isn't one-button easy.
Maybe, but personally I think we should encourage it as much as we can.
That's because you're an ignoranus who hasn't heard of enigmail, which lets you use GPG with webgmail.

They target normal computer users, not the 0.01% who are "signing their messages with PGP" or whatever. Almost everyone is on gmail these days.
There is nothing precluding someone from using gmail AND signing messages with PGP/GnuPG. I use gmail over IMAP and do sign messages.
Sylpheed? SYLPHEED? Why anyone would recommend Sylpheed in 2015 when Claws-Mail (a superior fork) exists is beyond me. About the only people still using Sylpheed instead of Claws are Japanese.
Claws Mail. The UI is similar enough to thunderbird that it won't be too difficult a transition.
