It is possible - yes. But it would be, by no means, a "scalpel". There will be many in the ethnic group who lack the appropriately formed receptor, and many in the other groups that have it.

Probably more for the GP, but even so, many tools can be used for malevolent purposes, does that mean we shouldn't have them around for the good purposes? Do you think that just because someone came up with it for a benevolent purpose, if they hadn't nobody would have come up with it for a malevolent purpose later.

The CPU on that machine used 12.5W power.

I eventually upgraded to a quad core process, more because I wanted to do mulit-core software dev than any other reason. I got the lowest power quad core I could find - 45W. At that point, the CPU uses more power than the entirety of my old K6-III

So, until I needed to, yeah, sticking with the "90s tech" was good because it saved me energy, and I got NO advantage from upgrading.

Actually, it would run Windows 2000 quite well, and XP pretty decently.

Actually, it was a BSD box. And no, I don't claim I was hosting a lot of crap. I didn't claim I had a lot of memory. You just made a lot of assumptions. I used it to rip flac files, sever a few web pages (that only about a dozen people used), some development, and for some network file storage. A 386 would have been fine if I could get my hands on it, but the nice part about that system was the WHOLE computer used not much more energy than a modern "low energy" cpu used.

XFCE can be used as a DE. Admittedly it is a very minimalistic DE, but it still gets the job done.

XFCE is a gorilla compared to window maker.

I use WMaker in Cygwin, for example, which I don't believe could properly run XFCE. Not familiar with LXDE. Mostly it is simple, quiet, and stays out of the way. I wouldn't mind an improvement for the interface of the desktop switcher widget, but aside from that, when you want something more than twm, but xfce is too big, WM is a nice middle ground.

Prior to upgrading the hardware (2-3 years ago?), I had an old K6-III for my server, and Window Maker was awesome on it. I still use it for the VNC attachable desktop I have running in the background to keep all my projects open so I don't have to restart my apps each time I log in. I don't need anything that lightweight any more, but, it gets the job done well, and doesn't crap out in the VNC "box" like KDE or Gnome.

Dude, Window Maker is awesome as a light weight desktop system. 3

Aside from compatibility improvements, I say don't fix what isn't broken.

Of course not, if you aren't that far up the ladder, how could your grandfather be?

I think by gray water, he meant partially treated sewage water.

And, so long as the toxic stuff was clean out, maybe.

The problems with the bacterial and fungal contaminants would still be present, and even if they were initially cleaned out, some new stuff would get in and grow - it's a good growth medium. Care would have to be used.
