  1. Re: Please take a close look at the project on Why OpenStreetMap Should Be a Priority for the Open Source Community (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 1

    Note that OpenOffice existed for years and got great benefit from Sun's contribution of StarDivision's work, but project participation was handicapped by Sun's management. When LibreOffice split off, it was suddenly so much more viable.

    It was almost thecsame story as Netscape/Mozilla.

    I am probably one of the few people who purchased a license for Star Office for Linux when it was commercially available, before Sun bought Star Division. Star Office is the basis for Open/Libre Office. I now work at a company where Open Office is the standard.

    He is visionary in the same sense that a guy assigned to give the keynote speech at an IBM Symposium in 1966 was visionary.

    It seems. An illogical moron might render that judgement.

    Go kiss your one-button mouse, you anachronism. You're not a dog nor a cow. Just a tedious monochrome icon.

  4. No, blue ice metaphorically falls off the wings of the DNC plane. Mostly onto the voting public.

  5. So you're the expert on what Putin wants?

  6. Citation needed.

    Who is this 'we' you refer to? The government represents us. Unless you are an interloper who refuses to participate in civilized society, the 'we' includes you. So, we own ourselves.

    That just doesn't sound so scary.

    Agreed. It is serious business, like visiting the dentist regularly, paying your bills on time, and trimming your fingernails. Not something to joke about.

    So: 'millineals are slackers who just don't care' is the explanation this time?

    So they are just being clever nihilists. Hmmm.

    I hope some RL friends see them doing their crapflooding and break their fingers.

  11. "It's her turn." Just like it was Bob Dole's turn.

  12. How could it not be a shitty job? It involves running the government. The thing we can hope is that while running the government they can dismantle as much of it as possible.

  13. It will not be a blue wave. It will be a big chunk of blue ice, sliding off the wing of the DNC charter aircraft.

    My netbook is an AMD laptop. It has the max 8gb of ram, too. An Acer Aspire One. Perfect use case for an AMD processor.

    I 'only' have a .125TB sd card in my phone, because I'm cheap.

    'Fair' is an extremely complicated word.

    I won't expect you to understand this, though.

    You think you're right. None of us know what the hell you even mean.

    The case for their de-facto nationalization, based on the mythical "natural monopoly" concept [mises.org], back then was completely bogus [wordpress.com].

    Perhaps gamers who don't have any friends see the ads instead.

  20. Back in the day, Motorola had the 6845 in their 6800 processor family. I think even Zilog has a CRT controller of some kind. Intel has waited until now? Really?!?

    My wife broke the USB-A tongues on most of the USB ports in the Dell Latitude. So I got cheap and ordered a replacement subassembly board for the Latitude second hand on eBay. The first one I ordered arrived... with a broken-tongue connector on it.

    Not only that but USB-C is the most durrable connector

    It's hurr durrable.

    I miss RS-232 where you didn't need a 'stack' and layers of protocol to get hardware to communicate. But plain old serial isn't DRM-compatible.
