Unless you happen to be running some version of pulseaudio then it won't work and no other app will work except for a few that sputter then take up 100 percent CPU and then pulse audio crashes and then X goes all nuts and CTRL-ALT-BKSP has been ripped out so you have to reboot blind but your vid card is still corrupted when it comes back so you have to SSH in unless you're POOR and don't have another PC so you power cycle it and it corrupts your boot record or some file somewhere and now won't boot.
As bad as M$ is the free software community can be as obnoxious. Go look up how ASUS EEPC user who were absolutely NOT linux savvy faired when looking for help. Go run Ubuntu and see that it's more locked down than Windows and how they've ripped out the ability to turn on power user features. Consider xorg that broke long term needed functionality. Try and converse with pulseaudions to get sound working in Fedora. I applaud ASUS for trying but Linux will not be ready for mainstream users for another 20 years due to the tech clueless culture and the people clueless FOSS developers. Considering the difficulties I'm having getting modern hardware working with a Linux distribution I won't be removing windows from my ASUS netbook soon cause it just works.
I have a working 1888 Commission Rifle. I have a nonworking one that's getting steampunked. I also have a working 5.25" floppy drive 80s vintage. It came in some sort of external box with full sized 50 pin D connector.
I did that with my managers consent at one company. I boosted the output of my job from 50 dollars a day to 2500 dollars a day. I got laid off shortly after I'd completed this. I could have done nothing and made the same money. I doubt I'll ever innovate at a company without strong incentive to do so and if I do innovate I won't document without strong incentive to do so.
Some flashlights can signal satellites. I've made fuse and pulsed some flash powder mixture which should be even more intense. I think their idea is pretty cool and even something simple like SOS would be of use.
All you are doing is wasting your companies money paying you salary for doing what they probably don't care about. The reason is because since there is no infrastructure for documenting it and keeping it current it will never be a part of the company. Without a clear chain of people up to the CTO monitoring that it is documented and kept safe you might as well use post it notes.
Sure keep your own documents but the company will just use your untimely death to buy new equipment, cut salaries and pay expensive consultants to fix the problem. Your death will cause someone to get a raise or fired or both.
The original wasp shaped blue glass bottles. Real sugar. Real secret ingredient. This is something that hasn't been made in the United States except that produced for passover since the 'new' coke fiasco.
I've complained about cut and paste for more than a decade. It's not been fixed, it's never been fixed and I'm sure it won't be fixed.
Linux is secure. All the crap you see is overlay and that does not much effect security. Linux has so many security tools that you have to work to create an insecure system.
I let a friend use Ubuntu the "zOMG KILLAH OS", they're now running Pista. The Luddites will never come to a Linux desktop unless you cater to them. No one gets that and they piss themselves when you suggest it.
Your comment BTW is the calmest I've seen on this in a long time. Thanks.:)
It is criminally incompetent for government to depend on a private entity for computing needs. Even for the 'unclassified' data that still allows to much access to the internal workings of government. It allows too much access to citizens private data. It allows too much dependence on a single source supplier and we have too damn many of those where there is zero competition and massive amounts of fraud and abuse. Single source suppliers are companies that have a product no one else can make. Usually this is through locking in the government to patented, proprietary solutions. There are companies lingering long after they should have died due to inefficiencies that would have killed them were they in a real marketplace.
No, but fuck no and I will recommend opposing this. There are non-proprietary solutions to cloud computing that are deployable now on the millions of government computers and servers.
Geektas are too elitist to design a comfortable desktop for people switching from winodws. If it all "Just worked" like windows no one would give a fuck in a locked down environment. Same look and feel, same hot keys in every app.
We *had* brutal sadistic animals that would hunt humans effectively. They're mostly extinct or getting there. I applaud you on making a more effective killer as what's left is BORING. Even with 200 years of selective breeding deer have not grown any defensive weapons nor do they exhibit any effective aggression towards humans.
My company has some pretty old legacy dos programs used for a variety of tasks such as loading firmware, calibration and testing. Our computers are dying fast and replacements, whether new industrial ones or 'new in the box' motherboards have various issues with bios, the right interface slots etc.
Dosbox just works. It works better than a clean dos 6.22 install up to a clean 98 install. We will be able to preserve the systems that are still working for the legacy interface cards software and PC needs and use new Windows XP systems for the dos applications we still use. It's incredible that this is so stable on XP.
Now I'm on a quest for a working frontend so I can get several hundred DOS applications working without too much user drooling.
I will be trying very hard to get my company to donate. I may have to talk to the maintainer and get them to relicense it and have the company buy a few licenses. One of the big wigs is convinced it will help when claiming the 'purchase' on taxes.
The AmigaOS "remains one of the great operating systems of the past 20 years, incorporating a small kernel and tremendous multitasking capabilities the likes of which have only recently been developed in OS/2 and Windows NT. The biggest difference is that the AmigaOS could operate fully and multitask in as little as 250 K of address space. Even today, the OS is only about 1MB in size. And to this day, there is very little a memory-hogging CD-ROM-loading OS can do the Amiga can't. Tight code -- there's nothing like it.
I've had an Amiga for maybe a decade. It's the single most reliable piece of equipment I've ever owned. It's amazing! You can easily understand why so many fanatics are out there wondering why they are alone in their love of the thing. The Amiga continues to inspire a vibrant -- albeit cultlike -- community, not unlike that which you have with Linux, the Unix clone."[7]
"Any hardware or software system must be fully documented and digitally published for the public good. The patent and copyright system are good enough to protect your ip.";)
What is worse are the asshats that Must Smite The Nomenclature Sinner!!!!! It's even worse if you have a friend who seems to think it's ok to interrupt you with a correction during casual conversation. I finally told them that it was apparent they did not want me to be talking around or near them if they could not handle trivial errors during casual conversation. It seems to be a form of OCD. My friend took the hint and stopped but there are online piss monkeys who're so OCD they can't let such blasphemy go unpunished.
They do it to get federal money for useless experiments that generate papers that then get filed with prestigious journals now run by other losers that can no longer get federal money for useless experiments.

I think by the time we get to the point we could make an aware system it would already be or could become self repairing.

Try Two Tales of Tomorrow by James P. Hogan for different way. One that is as entertaining.

If the court system has something similar to Rule 11 sanctions it can cost the lawsuit initiator.
