Once again, perhaps it's best to take it up with the person using such a ridiculous phrase instead of the person that is being critical of them. I don't really see anything in your post to disagree with apart from perhaps blaming the left for the majority of it. What could possibly be more "nanny state" than passing laws about what adults can do in their bedrooms? What could be more "nanny state" than treating miscarriages as murder?
Almost) no one uses ssh to "tunnel" a window for every application that is initiated within their own user session
With respect, what you are complaining about is an old remote vunerability kept for compatability reasons and has nothing to do with applications run locally so I suggest you go to whoever fed you this talking point and get them to explain it to you a little better.
You are starting to look like you are complaining that the user has the ability to do things with their own application windows. Not a good look. Come back when you have something based on reality when you want to do a little mindless fanboy platform bashing.
You do not seem to get it. There is no more secure alternative to a deliberately insecure connection that is only turned on by those who want to use it with legacy systems far too old to have ssh. If it's possible to update the old systems then the problem goes away entirely and you don't have to use the old very open model. You are doing the equivalent of complaining that an MSDOS prompt does not ask for a login and a password. It's not a problem because it is no longer relevant. Nobody uses that insecure part of X windows anymore apart from with unchanged legacy systems from the early 1990s. If you are doing that then either physical security would be in place or it's an old bit of kit somebody is just playing with.
Security design flaws in xwindows were never fully removed, even after twenty years
That's because everyone decided to just not use xauth as is and tunnel X via ssh instead to avoid that remote vunerability. If it's not listening (which has been the default everywhere with X since about 1998 when Hummingbird finally fixed their MS Windows version of X) it's not vunerable. You have to work hard and edit odd config files to make it vunerable.
While digital changed quite a bit on the backend, how did it actually change the experience of watching a film in the theater?
At the cinema near me among other things it's meant many short runs or one off screenings of indie films and even screening sporting events on the big screen. It's brought the price down massively for small players and provides a lot more choice for consumers. I've got to see a few "cult" movies that way and even re-screenings are not so difficult as they used to be. The local cinema even had a session of "The Princess Bride" the other week. With the old distribution system such flexibility would be inconceivable.
My local cinema isn't crowded most of the time (and does trailers only before the movie) so most of those problems do not apply. Maybe try going off peak or to an "art" cinema that pays with bills with mainstream stuff as well.
Resale value for the disc, should you care to go there
Tumeric is a very good addition IMHO. In small amounts it makes everything bright yellow without changing the taste at all and in larger amounts it adds a slightly bitter taste that goes well with garlic and salt.
Salesfolk like to push that line but that is no more true than suggesting that CP/M lies at the heart of MS Windows10 due to some identical syntax. For copyright reasons and due to budget constraints the people who worked on NT could not make it very much like the VMS that they had previously worked on.
Not following the issue very well are you? Currently most of the Muslims on the planet actually quite like the USA (eg. Indonesia that you mentioned has a very good opinion of the USA). Trump appears to be trying very hard to change that one artificial emergency at a time. You have mistaken part of a small tree for a forest.
You seem to have the obsession with proving you're an authority
No. Like everyone else I'm an authority on things that I am good at - no more, no less. You yourself know enough about the topic being discussed to know that you should not have written your pathetic Fear Uncertainty and Doubt post, but you clearly did it just because you saw something that in the right light looked a bit "green" and it offended your politics.
What exactly about him is any different from Bush?
His advisors are even less grounded in reality that he is. There is no Powell, Bush Snr or any of the many others that kept Bush under adult supervision.
Considering the ban on Muslim travel and similar shit the racist issue is in our faces. Attempting to make an enemy of a quarter of the world's population is not going to end well. That's why, Brendan the Beggar, there's so much "racist under every bed" stuff - it's not under every bed just one sleeping in a bed in the White House creating pointless trouble.
Most of the people who voted for Trump are not as stupid as Trump and the people who work for him. Eating the seed corn is never a good idea, and this is that sort of budget.
If this was fiction the most credible plot would be that Trump is someone Putin has groomed to destroy America. Reality is of course far more stupid than that, but Trumps efforts to "fix" things are going to have a similar result if unchallenged.
Well, you've definitely got it entirely wrong and I really don't know why you are keeping up this petty attempt at bullying. How would you know anyway? What is your background Crashdoxy? Why the obsession with that profession among many other choices? Was it because you wanted to be one but just could not convince someone to give you a chance? Are you attempting to displace your own failure onto myself Crashdoxy?
It's not a fiasco keeping MS WinXP on a few systems. The fiasco is compatibility issues that stop some legacy software running on something newer than MS WinXP. When it's something like label printing software or has evil hardware dongle copyright "protection" you are stuck running MS WinXP on real hardware instead of being able to run it in a VM.
If they were moving forward properly instead of scrapping features here and there you wouldn't see so many old MS operating systems still in use.
I probably know a great deal more about computers than you do
You wrote that? Here? I'm not sure if that was brave or stupid, but in tens of thousands of cases it's just going to be plain wrong. Assembly makes you special? I even did it as early as High School like thousands of others here.
Keeping track of every little nuance of your linux distro is a full time job
Then isn't it lucky for you that other people are doing that for you.
The thing that has initially impressed me the most is seeing fairly cheap desktop boards available for AMD Ryzen that can take 64GB of memory. I've had to go for more expensive SuperMicro stuff to get that in the past for AMD or Intel. As for performance, all I can do is read reviews for now.
Of course what I really want to see is their next generation of fast multi-way CPUs to get 128 fast cores on one motherboard but that's going to have to wait.
Both IMHO had the same premise of reality being hidden by the "other", but came at it from different directions. It's sort of like having three asteroid movies in a year even though they had differences (see also the simultaneous production of "Kundun" and three years with Brad Pitt or whatever that Tibet=Mexico effort was called). Even in the first Matrix film the "Neo is the messiah" stuff was a bit of a turnoff for me even though it wasn't as overblown as in the later films. It's starting to look like the new "Ghost in the Shell" movie may be going the same "messiah" way because of how the trailers etc are putting so much emphasis on how unique the Major character is, while most of the point of the setting in previous things was pointing out how widespread such advanced technology could become.
Take it up with the GP poster who blamed the entire US system, devised by Washington, Jefferson etc on liberals. I thought I was being obvious enough but perhaps I should have put liberals in quotes.

It impresses the girls, so you've pointed out well where the mind is focused when paying for all the marked up cinema fare.

Yes. It's just another CEO putting shit on his competitors.
It looks like I've been doing it backwards, butter+salt+garlic in the pot and corn in the microwave. Your idea sounds better.
I think those days are long gone.

High school level chemistry Crashdoxy.

Good on you! Keep on going and soon you won't be a whining virgin wasting our time.
