You got that right, Putin's secret weapon is his bitch in the Oval Office. If only Ukraine had a song that would neuter that idiot.

"I want GUIs for all common tasks"

What you need is something like MacOS used to have with Commando and MPW, I see that AU/X has something similar and even called the same. You'd probably need a pipelining capability to it. As someone below mentioned, something common for you will differ for someone else.

"My feeling is that Dark Matter/Energy will go away when they discover the real explanation, but that's just me."

Brilliant!! You vote to replace the mere placeholders in our theories with something else and then declare the placeholders have gone away. Have you told anyone else about this? Or are we just privileged? Maybe you could write a paper for a physics journal and get back to us in how well it was received. Good luck!!

Well, Elmo says we can get 1 Million (or was it 1 Billion) people living on Mars by 2050 as a way to preserve humanity from the Hell he is helping to build on Earth. I'm all for it, starting with him. I vote we give him a hammer, some nails, some wood, etc., strap his ass to one of his rockets, and give him a fair sendoff. Go for it, Elmo, you know you can do it!!

yes, actually yes. I would do it differently though, I would use sodium and burn it in water to create the particulate matter, this would accomplish more than one goal, it would block a percentage point of the Solar energy and would percipitate into the ocean water deacidifying it. If done xorrectly, maybe as NaK alloy it can also be used to generate power while burning in water.

no, the goal is keeping power and gaining glory by restoring the old ussr back and then some. The fact that it is done by using the criminal element as well as the regular army just shows how unprepared the dictator is.

That a machine is felt as a trustworthy companion tells a lot about the general state of society.

As a tool, it is useful to some extent, but even when it is just a machine, it shows that humanity can be lot moreâ¦

the Germans occupied Ukraine, actually occupied the house of one of my grandfather. What is your stupid point?

No, he chose war in Europe, this is the next step for putin. You didn't really think the ruzzian murderers that make up their armed forces will be allowed to return back to the motherland alive, did you? The next target is Estonia or Latvia, then Poland and the rest will follow. Regardless what anyone thinks, ruzzia has learned to fight the next type of war and nobody is ready for this except for one nation, that is holding the orcs - Ukraine.

Bandera is a national hero, fighting for Ukrainian freedom from occupiers, the ruzzians spout nonsense. Ukrainians are actually proud that Bandera was a Ukrainian. If the ruzzians went to war against the USA they would call George Washington a nazi, whatever.

It is what religion is. Faith. Belief without evidence. They very definition of stupidity and the source of much evil

I just landed in Warsaw, taking a ride to Ukraine right now. There are dirt poor people living in Ukraine, I am sure, probably some older folks are. That said, I work with over 950 people from Ukraine, vast majority of them living in Ukraine, over 200 people in software development, over 600 in support, many sales and other roles. Half of them own their homes, half of them have their own cars, everyone owns a computer, power banks, generators, satellite communication equipment, most also have fiber at home. They dine in nice restaurants, food is not worse than anywhere.

Here is a link to one of many restaurants I frequent when in Odessa for example. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GvHDHh...

Here is one in Kiev https://maps.app.goo.gl/JSnpEW...

You should maybe find out a few things before typing something, though we know that paper tolerates everything.

The U.S. was created out of the Enlightenment which rejected religion as being simply politics but with a mystical angle to fool the proles.

Nice one! Mar-a-Lago: where corruption is a sport.

Near as I can tell (I'm a Mac user), MS keeps business people on it by integrating their apps together. This is a godsend to the C-Suite who have other things to dork around with than their computer. Office contains just about anything they want to use. They do not know anything else and they do not want to know anything else.

I periodically have runins with Office on a Mac because the management really likes bullet points and needs to lift them from our docs lest they be forced to think for themselves. Their idea of a Pooperpoint window means a bloody mess of smaller and smaller type several layers deep (populated by bullet points) or with some diagram contains several different kinds of arrows. They feel this helps organize their thoughts. However, a well-constructed Pooperpoint slide deck can be done, it requires one do more than know Pooperpoint. Organizing one's thoughts so others can understand the flow is not easy. Pooperpoint gives the management the idea all they need is to slap bulletpoints and arrows on slides and Presto, Instant Pudding. If you go more than two layers deep in bullet points, your audience is lost. And only a sparse few on a window enough to guide your talk over. If you are using Pooperpoint for something else, you might want to consider using something else.

The rest of the apps to me seem like garbage, including the mechanics of Pooperpoint. I'm happy doing documents in Latex including pictures and diagrams. Word is just too painful, but requires no thinking as long as your formatting is simple. But then I only write math and logic and am not about to spend days poking symbols into fucking Word. Doing slide decks is then easy for Latex (using the Beamer package). I can just cut and paste from my other documents. Latex (and Beamer) makes making whizzy things in slide decks hard, but then whizzy things should not be in slide decks.
