You need OpenBSD on your Sparc kit. No need for support.

Gender equality goes both ways.

What are you smoking? and can I have some?

When I were young, we bought pencils and paper (well, nicked them mostly) and drew/wrote our own porn.

Youngsters today dont know how to use blender to create their favorite porn^H^H^H^H fantasy

Oh, wait...

I'd love to see slashdot elaborate on that

You must be new here.

As the former road manager of several well-known bands (in the 1960's) I can state with absolute confidence that the reason we bought valve amps (or copied the well known Vox design ourselves) was that they did not blow up if overloaded. Early transistor amps were not very robust, and typically burned out during gigs.

*AFAICR Vox, Fender, Orange, etc all uses the exact same circuit - the valves and transformers came from different suppliers, and some of the metal work was a different shape.

They employ a few guys with piloting skills and box cutters and we spend trillions

I strongly advise you not to come to the UK, as you obviously have "information which could be of use to terrorists" - an arrestable offence in the UK.

(I strongly suspect that common sense falls into this category, which explains why so many people in the public eye haver so little of it!)

You might want to tell people how to use "Safely Remove USB device"

I have supported OpenOffice since i was Star Office, and LibreOffice today, and I have never ever seen this. We move files between all sorts of machines all the time

I support what others have said - there is far more problem moving between different versions of Word.

set up and maintain a NTP system

Ten minutes work at least - certainly as fast as setting ten clocks, and you only do it once! I set up the ntp servers in my house when I moved in, three years ago, and have not had to do any maintenance since.

If "irregardless" is in your dictionary, your dictionary should go in the skip, unless it was written by the Monty Python team as a spoof.

RTFM: ntp allows devices to be set to do 'read-only' queries, considering themselves to be at a lower stratum than anything else. The top stratum of the hospital should not respond to adjustment from unknown devices either.

If you don't know how to configure ntp, leave it alone, or go home and practice on your home Linux network. (Haven't got a home Linux network? What are you doing here?)
