Bzzzt!!! Thank you for playing. Here's your lovely parting gift.
Let's rephrase... as an outside observer sees you go faster you get compressed to THEM.
From your frame of reference, the outside world is going faster and is compressed, so the distance to the star that is 100 ly away gets compressed by the gamma coefficient.
They became Mandriva somewhere after the Mandrake 10.2 release. I think it was around 2005 or so. They started naming the releases by year around that point.
Back around 2000 or so, Mandrake was THE distro for newbies. It was a straighforward simple install, and it Just Worked(tm). My first distro that I was able to really get working was Mandrake 8.1
The funny thing about Mandrake distributions was they had their own "only use version 3 of MS whatever" rule. Basically, it was "Use the x.1 version. x.0 and x.2 suck."
They started going downhill with the Mandriva name, and when they ran into financial trouble, I - like many others - switched to Mageia.
That's also an ancient address, but it's a badge of pride -- from being an early adopter on DSL (circa 2000 -- when they first rolled it out in my area).
Also, a lot of my professional email has been going there for years, so no need to change it.
I imagine a lot of the AOL addresses are inertia as well.
Space Squatters... The reality show that follows a bunch of ragtag astronauts who occupy the ISS and won't leave, as no evicting authority has jurisdiction!!
As an Angeleno, I feel the exact same way about Burbank vs. LAX.
LAX is a fucking nightmare in every possible way, from the parking, to the TSA security theatre, to the insane traffic you have to fight just to get there.
Flying in and out of BUR, I'm in and out of the airport in minimal time -- you usually don't even have a wait at the TSA checkpoint.
There's a Sharp in my kitchen -- a vent hood model -- that was in there and old when I bought the house in 1999. By my count that's a minimum of 16, and given that it was old even then, probably much more.

You might want to ask these people if China has a man-rated launcher.
The Groklaw archives have a good discussion of the original case heard by Judge Alsup.

Turns out that minimum-size black hole you'll need to destroy Earth is roughly the mass of Mt Everest.
This must be why evil mad scientists are always found underneath large volcanoes. Everything is clear to me now.
Well... that, and the unlimited geothermal power, and, of course, the availability of lava pools for unnecessarily slow dipping mechanisms!
You could do that on Unix System III with ADM-12 terminals as well.

And yes, in 2001 it was Mandrake 8.1.

Still a damned shame to see them go, though.
The .gov says it won't be used against researchers.... until it is.
Why does GM claim we only license our cars?

Great IDE. All it needs is a good programmer's editor.
Back in '83-'84, when I was at UCSC, we had a geek crowd that was into comics. We had two women in our group.
Simon publishes MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512 sums for all official binaries.
Ohm my goodness!!!
When they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Rust may be interesting, but is useless for multithreading because as we all know, Rust never sleeps.
Hey hey, my my....
C++ will never die....

If you thought cancelling your AOL account was difficult before...
Now you get to deal with the Verizon Customer Retention Specialists!!!!!!
At a previous job, we had a GPS simulator. It provided simulate sat signals to a GPS device for testing.
We could have had major fun with this if necessary.

I never change lightbulbs because it's a hardware problem, and I'm a software guy.
The GPL and BSD legal uncertainties may have been a part of it, but that still leaves us with the question, Why Linux and not HURD?
HURD was also GPL and free of the BSD uncertainties.
Damn... I need to use preview...
You ARE all a bunch of idiots!!!
Now come and get me, jerkwads!
You guys area all a bunch of idiots!!!
I'm still waiting to hear how K'Breel spins this.
