Is there any angle a tard like you can take to blame Bush for this? That's your homework assignment.

I have a training video for how to edit your ~/.fvwm/.fvwmrc file available for those who don't want to get caught on the Gnome/KDE Hat update treadmill.
Which Microsoft compiler is fully compliant with the current ANSI C or C++ standard?
Continually buying new updates of closed source binaries is 'running it like a business'??
One would think that, like filing cabinets, desks, etc., functions like email and document storage would converge into something very durable and unchanging. Instead we've accepted the notion that software vendors should throw it all away with each version update and start over, rather than patch and maintain software so that it converges into something better with each update.
But, this is a site chock full of people who make their business selling the same stuff over and over (IT types) so it's not surprising to see the 'throw it away and buy something new' sentiment very supported here.
The NetBSD ports collection, pkgsrc, has been ported to Slackware.
In a movie, that would be the point where the camera would zoom in to show a peculiar haunting alien 'flash' in the infected cult member's eyes.
The interesting bit to me is that the whole thrust of systemd seems to be to inject a Windows NT style Registry onto Linux. So it makes complete sense that the heady sort of developer who wants to foist this onto the Linux OSes would demand HIS WAY.
Naw. I like
The other thing about humans is that they are host to huge varieties and quantities of symbiotic organisms, which likely won't be spun up out of a test tube in a space ship. Those bugs in your gut are an important part of you, and the genetic diversity of them is just as big a problem as the 'embryos in a freezer' that everybody here is carrying on about. We're not alone; we will need to drag large chunks of our biosphere with us anywhere we 'travel' to.
If a game has a function for it, I hit 'random' until something that seems suitable pops up.
I will have more respect for all the people who fling around the term 'Science' when more than a few of them even know WTF they are talking about. Start by reading Kuhn and some of the other scholars of science. The process is complicated.
'Science: it's what scientists do, and we need to listen more to what the scientists say' is sheer ignorance. Shake that rattle and dance.
They want magic boxes running magic programming languages,so that pesky "understanding" thing doesn't interfere.
Didn't you know? The world of software is more maintainable if it's kept extremely abstract and the actual functionality is locked away in magic boxes that only a few wizards are allowed to touch. That's the whole idea behind high level languages like Java, C++, Visual Basic, etc.
I am an Assembly Language programmer and code embedded controllers up from the reset vector. I remember the first time I encountered a coworker who was a habitual high level code slinger and couldn't get it when the timer wouldn't do anything, cuz they never initiated it. That's an aside, though. Stick to your highly maintainable object orientation (coded in whatever language is in fashion ATM.) Fantasies are fun!
When I hear somebody like you bemoan the huge contributions (the most significant total amount, actually) trade unions make using worker's dues, regardless of the political positions of said workers, I'll take your ranting about 'them koch brothers' more seriously.
Anyhow, like Obamacare, its now entirely settled law. Suck on it, dude.
Enlighten us. Why would anybody want to wear a shirt with a picture of a serial killer like Che on it? For the irony, like wearing a Manson or Dahlmer shirt? Or is it just they're ignorant of who Che was and what be did?
Oh, there are significantly more homophobic schools of thought than communism. Islam, for example. It's a pity, actually that homosexual rights activists shine so little light on this, even in an era where 'multiculturalism' preaches the need to respect the rollout of sharia law in the west. Priorities seem badly distorted, to be honest.
A significant number of people feel that Che was a serial killer. There is enough evidence to support the notion.
As long as we're going to reinvent the wheel again, we might as well try making it round this time. - Mike Dennison
