I see you assume anyone not living in a city as being ignorant or stupid. Not true.
There's skills learned in the woods and fields that lend themselves very well to combat. Like knowing how to shoot and *hit* your target. It's not just point and pull like in the movies. We won WWII because of these farm-boys.
just lob a few largish asteroids at our major cities and wait for a year or two
That's the one sure thing to guarantee our survival. Get rid of all the armchair generals that insist that we combat the enemy according to the Geneva convention and take prisoners etc.
Fuck all that. War is total. Without most city dwellers the people that are doing the heavy lifting in the fields and the mines will get the job done. As usual.
You see officer we had a lot of problems with Bob and ultimately had to let him go due to some other compliance issues we uncovered. This, this we had no record of, but we will get on it immediately.
I have experienced more failures with Ubuntu than I have with Centos / Fedora.
Fedora works well out of the box even if some versions weren't the most polished. With Ubuntu I spent too many hours getting drivers to work for damn near everything.
I have been in the habit of replacing micro-switches in Logitech mice with higher-end equivalents . My only worry is the pricing of the new products.:(
There's no mention if these people are contributing individually to open source projects on their own time. Most if not all devs I know and have known have their own repos for *something* personal.
Most large companies have their very own copy of github in-house. Most commonly these days it's on AWS or some other cloud offering that the company controls for their IT Projects.
Sales aren't the only area affected by the need to keep the money flowing. Research grants work the same way. In order to keep your job you have to produce the data the people with the money are looking for.
What upsets me more is the fact that there's an argument at all.
What's wrong with sending it up to prove or disprove it?
I am so sick of the attitude of : It's my solution or no solution. Who cares if they are proven wrong and the thing works? Too many Effing ego's in the room.

Any culture advanced enough to conquer a planet of people will have the technology and maturity to understand that dust isn't an issue.
If we lose we can hope our new overlords will allow us to live. If not, it won't matter.

According the Mars-One project At 400Bn we would have sent 398 people to Mars.
6Bn for the first, then 4Bn for the rest.
Why are we budgeting to fight for a line on a piece of dirt when we could be fighting over planets instead?
5 Billion a year useful enough? That's just Amazon.

Only if the aliens are giant rats instead of giant cats.
it's your ass on the line.

Ah the Glory days. :)
I remember lovingly cutting those notches in brand new floppies. :)
How about the 6502c?

Try Korora Linux instead.
Debian/Ubuntu slow, Fedora/Centos Fast.

No it's not.

*know* temperatures are rising,
Yes,
we *know* they are being forced by human activities
No.
people who use social media as their main information source
Those kind need to be stuffed back into AOL where they can't hurt themselves or anyone else.
Amen!
Good Idea, lets start by eating hipsters instead.
The only problem with that is the irony-rich blood would give constipate me.
I must learn how to trip these manually, that would be a blast.
