it still has the name Venetia B. gave it, and it will still have that name even if Western civilization falls, for example in Japanese and Chinese it's "Netherworld King", translating her name by calling the god Pluto by his title. In a thousand years it's likely her name will have survived.
eh, the earliest was October 2004, but yes it can run on modern hardware
my company will do commercial support for any distro of Linux there ever was, for a fee. In practice we've dealt with RedHat 5.2, those crazy customers!
eh, I can buy the seagate drive used in many 1987 AT compatible for $100, with warranty. Reason is that there are plenty of industrial and voicemail systems (often with OS/2, w0h00) that use that bitch. Installed a couple myself for clients.
Funny one can still buy new 80486 computers too, industrial apps again.
there are MRP systems for manufacturing plants written in BASIC with commercial ISAM libraries that have moved from platform to platform over the years, from vms and unix and mpe that now run under Linux. My clients have some of those 20+ year old bitches, still going strong on newer hardware, same damn app.
I learned women don't like it: I had a girlfriend, who first thing after we undressed and went to bed would look and pick out any navel lint from my "lint trap", as she called it. Things didn't happen until I had passed lint trap inspection.
hahaha. Now I have two Macs in the house, wife and kids love them. but OSX doesn't run on 1/100 the hardware that Linux will, you mean it has better hardware and software support for Apple's somewhat overpriced hardware (unless you buy four+ years old used on eBay like me). And what do you mean spend $100 more, more like a thousand or two more for new. The pile of available open source apps is bigger for Linux (or certain BSD too) than OSX, though the mac porting projects are doing well as they catch up. As far as productivity, it's the same on either platform for anything I do. Your argument about spending time resolving hardware issues, I had to look up how to make my laptop's volume thumbwheel work in Linux, that took 2 minutes. Everything else on all my boxes just work. Oh, and I have an Asterisk VOIP box with zaptel cards under Debian, how well is that going to work in OSX?
I agree alternatives should be quickly implemented because the negative consequences of fossil fuels are accumulating a kind of compound interest that left unchecked would actually wipe out the benefits I pointed out. I wish "the bailout" of the U.S. economy was a trillion dollars invested in the known workable alternative energies and energy storage systems.
but it is fun to attribute the massive amounts of death in wars due to the nitrating or nitriting of the up to three substances that make the modern smokeless powder recipes: cellulose, glycerin, and guanine. Or, in layman's terms: cotton, liquid carb sweetener, and bat shit.
silly, charcoal isn't make from coal. It's a biofuel, made from wood. And modern gunpowder has no charcoal in it, large scale production of "black powder" stopped in the last 1800s in favor of "smokeless powder", which is nitrited cellulose, originally made from cotton. Modern smokeless can also contain other nitrites.
but this is actually the second bad thing President Obama has done, he's also continuing the Bush Bailout scam. I hope the list of disappointments stay short, *change* is what the people wanted.
oh, person can't speak against complex social problem like slavery or a caste system, because it's existed for thousands of years and that venerates it? sounds like "son of a dot-head" talk to me.
oh, no other U.S. presidents were born poor? Yes, U.S. south and some areas of the north were bad in this matter, and change was made. one of your examples doesn't hold, born middle class. Engineers I've worked with from India have told me of the problems there regarding caste, one does get born with silver spoon in one's mouth.
Anything Cobol can do, any other language can do as well
absolutely false, most languages are incapable of doing proper decimal arithmetic out of the box.

yes, and the newfangled 8.3 1H1 had one December 2008
troll huh? that's the most insightful and concise summary I've ever seen of KDE 4.x here. Some fan boy mods can't handle the truth.

you're missing the point, those iPhone users also have PC that have flash.
the sound system sounds a lot better, but the performance is the same

not to mention their English was misunderstood. shocking, I tell you.

and what of all the live-extending benefits of modern life that are coal-powered. coal has saved and extended far more lives than it has taken.

lifespans are getting longer, the electricity coal makes saves far more lives than it takes.

so that $367 million Microsoft paid Novell in 2007 alone had nothing to do with profitablity and growth. glad to hear it
it'll be gold-plated by the marketing department first
Do you think Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton or Slash play "Linux Kernel Compilation Hero"
there really is such a game for easily entertained simpletons to while away the hours just like the legions of Guitar Heroes, it's called Gentoo.
this video went so far as to take a shit in the subject before closing and sitting on the lid
