It could be useful in the case of someone falling through the ice while skating

as all software was written for 32-bit so getting a 64-bit processor would not make anything faster.

Origin of the silicon inside our computers hereby comprehensively explained.

Sorry, but there's nothing unix about NetworkManager.

One of the few unix command line tools whose command begins with a major letter.

I'd prefer a steering wheel so I can do stuff that the AI won't let me do, like drive through my backward to drop off heavy things in the garden, etc...

23.6.1 Why GNU `su' does not support the `wheel' group

(This section is by Richard Stallman.)

Sometimes a few of the users try to hold total power over all the
rest. For example, in 1984, a few users at the MIT AI lab decided to
seize power by changing the operator password on the Twenex system and
keeping it secret from everyone else. (I was able to thwart this coup
and give power back to the users by patching the kernel, but I wouldn't
know how to do that in Unix.)

However, occasionally the rulers do tell someone. Under the usual
`su' mechanism, once someone learns the root password who sympathizes
with the ordinary users, he or she can tell the rest. The "wheel
group" feature would make this impossible, and thus cement the power of
the rulers.

I'm on the side of the masses, not that of the rulers. If you are
used to supporting the bosses and sysadmins in whatever they do, you
might find this idea strange at first.
