Some of us set smaller limits because we have 64GB in our system and don't want 32GB of tmp if something goes bananas.

If they want to make their machine noisy they should use straight cut gears and omit the sound deadening asphalt. Then it will be loud as shit all the time, without having to pipe in any fake noise bullshit.

Quiet is one of the best things about EVs. Being able to hear the other noises the car makes is actually useful, unlike this crap.

If a more powerful quantum computer can be built, then it could do that. But there's no evidence thus far that an actually useful one can be built.

No, they used to seem etc. I haven't seen a decent black friday deal in years.

This is nonsense, they cannot create a bubble now, because they have already created a bubble. "Some" need to catch up with where we were months to years ago. At least it's safe to predict that something which is already happening will happen... yeah, we know, we can see it.

I used to and might even still have a localtalk to ethertalk bridge. It was made by one of the handful of ubiquitous 68k era suppliers that made everything for macs back then, but I forget which.

BITD I used to run netatalk, samba, and nfs on the same Linux box for a geek house. Everybody could access their homes and a shared drive.

They also made localtalk cards for PCs.

I am due to make another pass through my cables and crap bins and free another one up, I might still have an ethernet card which I think is for the SE. I also have an SE which doesn't boot which has a Radius 16MHz accelerator in it, an 020 I think. I sold the SE once and then the buyer never came to get it, and never connected with me to have it delivered, and that was years ago... I hope I didn't lose it already, but I think I have a case cracker bit as well...

They just ask Amazon, but they can cache results once you're retrieving them. So they depend on people checking prices on things to record any of their own data.

Ha! I've been through this on Debian! Where I don't think it actually does even use a small tmpfs, but I set it up that way. I decided to keep it that way and make use of TMPDIR, which is how I discovered that Nvidia is a little bitch. You have to both set TMPDIR and pass --tmpdir=$TMPDIR in order for the Nvidia Linux installer to unpack into TMPDIR. Make that make sense.

That's weird, that's where I got it and I'm still running it successfully now.

Price tracker CamelCamelCamel offers browser extensions which allow you to get charts showing price history. Go to an Amazon page and the icon appears in the address bar, click it and the chart pops up. (This is how the Firefox extension works, anyway.) We ordered one of those Solar "Generator" units (I hate it when people or companies call them that, they are not that, but anyway) from Amazon during their sale because it actually was cheaper.

A village is the best way to raise a child. People should learn that they are part of interconnected communities as they grow up. Ideally people would be directly involved instead of their needing to be some kind of government assistance stepping in, but we've become increasingly disconnected from our neighbors and that allows echo chambers to form and fester.

What causes you to imagine I never clicked the link? My response was about the quick google search snark. I also did a google search, that's how I found the links I posted, but it sure didn't show that one in my results - and I looked at the top 30 or so.

Anyway, bummer. What kind of fucking wingnut believes in AGW and then lights a forest fire?

Indeed, and exactly what thinking people expect from a PR flack for a corporation which produced and distributed literally the most insidious spyware of all time.

Are you somehow still unaware that Google delivers different search results to different people for the same searches?

I don't see "plenty of details" about his political affiliation, only some evidence that he was anti-religious. But I've known some conservatives who were that, so it proves nothing.
