Oh I read it, and wore out the vinyl version of the musical, and several CD copies. Yes, they die, but they take out a whole lot of us in the process...

>>It's unhealthy, we need to protect people from bad food...

So, we are outlawing:
All fast food
All ultra-processed foods
All pesticides sprayed on fruits and vegetables
HFCS and their ilk.

Am I understanding you properly?

A "green tinge" eh? Where have I heard that before? Oh yes:

"A flare, spurting out from Mars â" bright green, drawing a green mist behind it â" a beautiful, but somehow disturbing sight. Ogilvy, the astronomer, assured me we were in no danger. He was convinced there could be no living thing, on that remote, forbidding planet."

So yeah, we're all gonna die.

I have yet to run across a website that works properly without JS and/or CSS enabled. Most can work (somewhat) with JS disabled/blocked, but without CSS give it up, the site is busted beyond recognition.

Maybe time to bring back BBSes?

In addition, I seem to recall an article here on /. some years ago about China accused of "dumping" to gain an advantage.

I'm not going to get into a pissing match online, but you might actually want to read that MSNBC article more carefully. There are a lot of weasel words used "could have, might have, possibly" and so forth.
It's all speculation that if we had left Ukraine to their own devices, none of this would have occurred.
Might I remind you of a little treaty Russian broke about nuclear weapons and Ukraine?
No matter how you slice it, the US isn't the bad guy you want them to be.

Right! Enough of this nonsense, I'm going back to BBSes!

But why take out a whole plane-full of innocents? Suicide is a very personal choice, mass murder doesn't fit.

A browser plug-in/add-on/extension is a brilliant idea. Shame I can't code for a damn any more. Perhaps we can submit the idea of slashdot as a request to create it?

The only thing I have to lose by moving to Linux, is Adobe LightRoom (I'm a photographer) but I'm starting to think the loss of LR outweighs the benefits of staying with Windows.
I loved the UI in Ubuntu circa 14 LTS but the "new" CrunchBang++ minimalism is really growing on me.

Right. I'd settle for accuracy over speed any day

An opposite point of view (mine):
I have zero artistic talent. I've tried for decades, music, writing, painting. I am terrible at all of them. I have a lot of ideas for things I'd like to hear or see, so this sort of program will help me realize these dreams.

That's not even 3 hours driving at highway speeds (it's 70mph around me)
200 miles is nothing for a single drive.

So don't buy new...buy classic. Buy a classic Italian sports car, ain't nothin' better.
