    Still, almost nobody cares.

  2. Re: Can I get my Yggdrasil please? on Slackware 14.2 Released, Still Systemd-Free (slackware.com) · · Score: 1

    I booted LGX from a live CD in early 1993. It was awesome to boot a Linux OS direct from the CD on my 486-33 with 16M of RAM. The plug-and-play demo would slowly load a full X desktop, play a sound, then play some mpegs, etc.

    LGX was what they called the first release of Yggdrasyl Linux. Plain white manual cover with green ink heading.

    I switched to Slackware for my first "serious" Linux because I could actually install it. There was a bug in the first Yggdrasil installer, so that it woul try to install the whole source code even if you unchecked the box for that. I only had a 300MB full-height 5-1/4" ESDI drive, so the installer would crash.

    It was about parallel use of the technology for the military. Kennedy couldn't come right out and say he was dedicating a generation to producing missles and nuclear weapon delivery systems. Dreamy scifi stuff sells better.

    If you can take a few million and leverage it into billions, I'm sure you could find backers to give you the seed money, too.

    You don't know what you're talking about. Please stop throwing whatever shit you can think up about Trump at the wall and hoping some of it will stick.

    She was being sarcastic with that comment, and playing to the average non-geek American.

    No, Hillary is just a crappy sellout politician. Not horribly worse than some others. Mediocre and craven. Let's not give her credit for being more than she is.

  7. Re: Interesting post on Dell Stops Selling Android Tablets (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I like my 8" Galaxy Tab A. They are only $170 now. An iPad would lock me into an ecosystem I tried and didn't like. And cost a whole lot more. If I wanted a tablet with a better display than any iPad I'd get a Galaxy Tab S.

    Does it brick your hardware? Can you then wipe the mass storage and install a BSD, Chrome, or Linux? When your Windows subscription expirws does it all stop working?

    I have zero interest in texting with any product. I would prefer an untexting feature. So when the person in front of me at the green stoplight is still texting, the app on my phone would interrupt their texting.

    So far Hillary's greatest seat in government has been as a selected official, not an elected official.

    Sure, she put in a few years as an ineffective freshman senator, but that's about it. Everything else she has gotten by hanging around the right people.

    That late 90s economy couldn't have existed as it did separate from it's aftermath.

    Yeah, we got to hear the President play the sax on TV and benefit from the "bubble expanding" half of the boom/bust cycle (and also collect on the dividend of the end of all that Cold War spending, but I digress) but the hype fest couldn't go on indefinitely. VA Linux and the dot.bomb hype outfits needed to eventually produce something that could realize a profit (*ahem*)

    This is right. All these additional lines of connectivity won't necessarily enlighten and free the people they are imposed upon. These are levers and pulleys of greater social control.

    I prefer an all electric car that litters the road with flowers, (or alternately the shredded body parts of capitalists, depending on my mood) let's make them produce that. Oh, and instead of having to press an accelerator pedal it massages my feet while I drive it.

    Surely we can force VW into producing such a vehicle.
