Yeah, that's what we need. A weaponized leftist activist bureaucracy to act with even less inhibition for tyranny than they do now. And stop calling it civil service. These creeps are out to make a buck just like everyone else. Indeed, these past 6 years, the creeps have done quite well for themselves.

Windmill pay for themselves? That will be the first. The high school down the street has a multi-million dollar feel good sculpture. It's never turning. Of course leftist activist researchers will encourage us to bankrupt ourselves.

They do. Intel never crippled away these feature ; most Pentium 4 don't have NX but it is commonly found on late Pentium 4 Celeron (which can be 64bit even)
Parent might have a Celeron 440 or 450 (core 2 solo) and that's another beast. Excellent CPU with low power use, still actually worth using.

So the solution is to use the kernel and throw out everything than ran on top?

Why not.. I'd rather use Windows than get a google account, though.

It's too late, people waste the pipe by using as their music player, and thus often their ONLY music player. And then the 1080p setting is useless already. 60 fps is something new at least.

The lingua franca of Emacs is Lisp, followed by C++. VIM is a joke.

It's just about voting! Becoming a voter is akin to making basic computations in your analogy Becoming a mathematician would be more like running for elections, getting elected and serving mandates successfully - and it has almost jack shit to do with electronic vs paper voting.

I don't think people plan much for the day they become the "customer" of a SWAT team and I don't even wish that you become one ;).

It's not the city that passed the law. It is a controlling, dickhead, liberal mayor. As Obama is showing us, executive power can be a very destructive thing.

Yeah, but they're guilty rich white Ivy League liberals with big hearts, which in their minds make them equivalents. Black dominate the NBA. Asians dominate badminton. Why shouldn't whites dominate big business?

You buy something as mundane as a coffee and a donut with a smart card? and how come the history is shared with everyone, not just your bank and the NSA?

Isn't the battery a CR2032, same as on motherboards? That costs a few bucks. I once needed a couple of them to put in old 3D glasses, I bought them at a tobacco shop 4 euros a piece, knowing it was overpriced.

This country is losing it. Don't know if you realize it my fellow citizens, but you are getting your ass kicked in the world. Socialism is not working.

a greeter (or a "thingdm") is good for auto-login, so I never see it except in rare circumstances like trying a random old window manager or really needing to log out (if ssh localhost doesn't cut it lol)
A shit one like slim or lxdm can be used if you care about precious footprint, with lightdm more modern but funnily a lot uglier when used raw.

I remember trying autogin on tty1 but it's semi-hackish and you have to google for it.
I think I'd like best to have both autologin on tty1 or tty1-4 and autologin on a graphical session.
