That's at least three sorts of nonsense:

The OS has no magic either, or are you saying that it's random seeds all the way down?

Care to provide any actual statistics for that claim, or are you just one of those annoying morons with a habit of being FUDsy against anything with "Gnu" in the name?

(checks apt-get before making a fool of himself) ... Why the hell hasn't somebody made libRNG?

p.s. Seriously, how hard could it be to split out the RNG code of openssl or libressl and make it the gold standard? Yeah, I know it's generally unproductive to ask such rhetorical questions. Yes, I'm a coder that could do it (never looked at openssl code, but I'm sure I've dealt with worse, so I know it's possible), but I have no desire to become the owner of such a project, so I won't even bother to look at the effort required. Nor will you, probably. I have plenty of other things occupying my time. Maybe in another 20 years, if I'm retired by then...

We have GnuTLS which is only one year younger than OpenSSL, has a nicer API, is portable to Windows, has a better track record with regard to binary compatibility, a better build system, and can be used by commercial software (it’s LGPLv2.1). Comparison of features with other SSL libraries.

Can't recommend enough the Performance Mouse MX enough.

While it does have the middle button integrated into the scroll wheel, once used to it you will find it completely intuitive. I middle click hundreds of times a day and only found it difficult during the first two weeks of owning the mouse. 5 years later I still prefer the Performance MX over anything else.

To middle click I typically shift my index finger over a centimeter or two. My hands are slightly above average size and ergonomically the PerfMX is perfect for me.

Since there's less canon to violate than Trek, and it's not a reboot... maybe?

Who the hell writes this crap? Internet cables?

I find it hard to believe that anyone is using EISA still. It got almost no traction in desktops and the only systems that ever had EISA slots were 386-486 era servers before the VL-BUS and PCI bus started to gain traction in late 486's.

If someone actually has a working EISA system, I'd like to see a photo. I had never managed to see more than one of these systems in my lifetime, and only saw one because it was being replaced in 1997 by a Pentium desktop.

I've actually seen more MCA systems than I've ever seen EISA.

Exactly my 1st thought. Maybe not "false" exactly, but I've long wanted to be able to mod comments "-1 incorrect". Of course I also want a "+1 funny AND insightful".

A recent employer issued me a new 15" MacBook Pro. I really liked the weight, battery life, screen quality, and the feel of the keyboard. But the non-PC keyboard layout drove me nuts. I.e., the absence of stand-alone keys like home, end, page-up, alt, etc.

What would be interesting would be to see what a polygraph says about their false memories. Can it distinguish between an event that occurred and one that was from a false memory? If not, that would be the final nail in the coffin.
