So what? The bulk of the population in the USA is in much the same boat. If our economy were to collapse so far that any of the things supplied to cities such as food, fuel, water were to be disrupted, there would be mass death. We live in a dangerous just-in-time-delivery-of-sustenance mode. This is a far different situation from the Great Depression, when the US was mostly agrarian.
last I heard our manned spacecraft and manned space laboratories also had these features.

rather ironic you are asking such a question, as you are doing a wonderful job of at least thug culture, anti-intellectualism and under-achievement yourself. What semi-notable thing have you done?
You're the one who needs to fuck off. Needing the external power supply, the sun, means this thing will be mostly useless for months in 3rd world places such as my wife's country while it's cloudy and/or raining buckets. But something with a 220VAC 50 Hz plug would function in most schools.
Reality is a bitch, and technical and engineering types deal with reality.

How about just short list with notable I.T. contributions?:
Dr. Martin Dean, holds 3 of the 9 IBM PC patents
Kenneth Dunkley - inventor of 3D viewing glasses and holographic displays
Dr. Philip Emeagwali - Gordon Bell prize for computation, in 1989 invented fastest (at the time) supercomputer wiht 65K processing nodes
Dr. Shirley Jackson, a theoretical physicist and inventor at Bell labs who made the improvements that resulted in the usable versions of the fax, undersea fiber optic systems, touch tone phone, solar cell, caller id and call waiting.
Valerie Thomas - head of NASA's Landsat development team, inventor of data imaging systems

nah, you're romanticizing your memories of it. I still remember the problems in Solaris/SunOS and HP/UX. The feel of the UI was sluggish and mushy, and the file browser apps would sometimes hang and clobber things. Ported applications written for general motif library would get weird artifacts or bottom third of text missing.
Now IRIX and NextStep, those were crisp Unix UI. I'm glad CDE and Open Look are dead.
what's missing from the base repository? all the mainstream stuff is there for web, language platforms, the main open source databases, backup, shells
the big manufacturers in the Linux market crank out the device drivers, I"d more feel sorry for someone trying to re-task a windows server that wasn't designed for Red Hat.
redhat is just one distro, plenty of very tiny little Linux server distros out there if you want it to fit on a few floppies or 4mb card.
they're still cheaper than windows, my company sells the bundles of windows server, the client access licenses, windows terminal server licenses, support licenses....five or ten times more expensive than red hat
that's a good short-term graph. Long term, over decades, my procrastination curve is climbing upward as a second order polynomial, because I realize more and more of the modern rat-race "obligations" are arbitrary made-up bullshit.
heh, that's the point. neither cisco nor marketer nor prosecuter for false accusation / show-boat / witch-hunt trial will care if inferences or conclusions are actually accurate
I used to work at two large companies that produced closed source software. closed source has similar amount of failed forks (trial balloons, proof of concepts) as open source. For that matter, having worked at manufacturing companies that did their own design, I've seen that the realm of making physical things also has similar amount of "failed forks". R&D is horribly expensive.

we aren't cleaning up any mess. we are making more. more murder, more maiming, more profit, all on Obama's watch. He is Commander-in-Chief, he could stop this ongoing fake "war" *instantly*
I'm just trying to figure out why people get the label "hippie" when they complain about war for profit, power and political coin.
I'm not a peacenik, hell, I love weapons. I own weapons. I love a righteous war (like WW II) and I love to see evil scum get blown up, shot up, burned up. yeah, come get some!!
BUT,
I get the label "unpatriotic" "hippie" "traitor" when I complain about these bullshit pseudo-wars that the U.S. is inflicting on innocents, to line defense contractors and construction contractors pockets, and to have a rallying point for politicians who have failed to do their most basic of duties, and to provide an excuse for power-mongers to deprive us of liberties and build a police state.
Bullshit! The people voted for change, and they got yet another Bush. Obama has continued the elite's agenda of war. Renaming troop's activities doesn't change that the (pointless, for profit, for political coin) wars go on and on and on.
we don't have democracy, we have oligarchy and plutocracy.
no, this is about *the U.S. military* putting foam on tents and claiming it will save lives.
A military that is a tool of power and money grubbing elite who are fighting needless wars of choice, mass murdering and maiming innocents to line pockets and get political coin.
All the while spewing the lie that it is fighting terrorism, spreading democracy, making us safer.
And don't give me any bullshit about 9/11, that's not what either Iraq nor Afghanistan fighting is about.
the idea was that they're very close to dimensions of medieval carts and the paths/roads made for them, and really not urban legend at all despite what Snopes says.
