    but we fanboys made that server business possible, we got linux in the door over the last 15 years in corporations. the services are a mixture of open and closed.

    Jodie is one year and three months older than me. but she started in acting at age 3. I started in my interests at later age, with electronics at 10.

    RedHat will fork important wares, give a free lite version so people can be guinea pigs for possible future packages while not using the real stuff, and not let everyone into the repository for the supported wares.

    Redhat forgets who made them successful, and they foget 95% of what is in their wares is other open source project's work.

    yes, that is trivial to understand the basic binary numbering system employed, play direction, and demarcation of scan line and frames.

    what would be hard to comprehend, on the other hand, is that business in lower left quadrant of location of earth by bearing to pulsars.

    You don't compress the image, you present pure sequence of pixels with scan line and frame completion markers as on the Voyager Golden Record. Have a look at it, the instructions to "play" the disk are engraved on the disk and are crystal clear even to young teen: I was 13 when I first saw it and system was obvious.

    Sure, start things out with your pulses, then go to diagrams and pictures like the Voyager Golden Record

    instead of text messages which have no inherent means of even being understood, why not transmit useful information about ourselves that we would wish aliens to send to us: pictures, society structure, arts, science...this was done to limited extent with the "pioneer plaque"; that's the direction we should be thinking

    ITER will never pay off, that manner of attempting fusion is a dead end as the harder you try to compress a plasma the harder it pushes back.

    Fission is the only solution we have for sufficient energy to drive civilization forward, the low density energies of wind and solar are too puny

    HP/UX wasn't really developed as had all manner of acquired and licensed third-party bolt-ons (often 'lite' version too) thrown on, Perl 6's flounderings have nothing on the slow motion train wreck that is HP/UX urban sprawl of directionless feature bloat
