Seriously, since when is slashdot a blog for suggesting weird theories on foreign policy. This should be titled "user msmash wonders if Sri Lanka's current political situation is due to Organic Farming failures. What does slashdot think?". Not really the right forum for this kind of political debate nor the right way to infer such an outsourced connection. Reads more like someone that has a axe to grind (no offense intended -- just how it read to me also).

I swear. I feel like we are entering idiocracy. You can look at my account number. I've been here for awhile. A long while. This just makes me sad because it's so fucking stupid that it worries me that there isn't anyone making sense anymore. Just for 1, first thought off the bat, sunlight, maybe. just maybe. probably, is a good idea in any stream. just a guess. I'm not a botanist. just a guess. 2nd. YOU HAVE FUCKING ZILLIONS OF CEMENT FREEWAYS EVERYWHERE. ZILLIONS. NO FUCKING MENTION OF PUTTING SOLAR OVER THOSE? DEAD PETROLEUM HELL HOLES?. Sure. When in doubt, cover anything that might sustain life and block out the light from the rivers. Wouldn't want to do that on the 405 in LA. Jesus. Rant End. I'll just pour myself another drink on covid year 3. Long live Linux

> some eager beaver officer to close a case for a promotion.. This is Wisconsin -- where they have time to track down this ancient case but zillions of rape kits are just sitting around unprocessed.

6,500 / .37 means it'd only take 17k years to get here. Thank goodness it's not going to hit Earth. They would have to completely remake the movie Melancholia.

Arming the women YPG fighters would be far more effective. Frankly, in my limited understanding of the region, the women YPG fighters are the only normal people in the whole region.

> Trump is trolling the Republican party

I heard it's because he realized if he wins the nomination he has to move into a smaller house in a black neighborhood.

I don't think you are being fair to science fiction by tossing out Hubbard or Battlefield Earth. Hubbard did write some interesting science fiction & Battlefield Earth isn't terrible either. If you ignore the whole scientology shit show, from a purely SF perspective, I'd say both are average or above average.

> too memory constrained to think about running any version of Linux

Chips like that are dying out due to memory being larger & other chips that can at least run uboot (also written in C).

I find it frustrating and disturbing that there isn't any discussion of overpopulation here.

The core issue is our lack of predators. If we don't use our intellects as the predator to control our growth, catastrophe and tragedy will take it's place.

I'm having some sort of video corruption (audio is fine for me). It seems to be related to whenever there is a full motion video playing. It causes black boxes to cover up the various menus, etc. My only option is to restart the game. I'm running x64 mint. Maybe it's some sort of mesa bug. I've set every video option to the lowest settings, but it still happens. The intro video does not play and I have to hit ESC to go by it (it just stays on the blue Steam screen) I hear the audio play from the video. Anyone else see this?

Wow -- good call. That might also be why the complaint in the article "She was not allowing staff to examine historical documents" is due to the whole organisation being a massive lie or con job from the beginning.

Funny Score:5

OP: You can do what you want with a simple install of ubuntu and 20 minutes worth of bash to get a prototype together. It works, it's fast, it makes sense and you will be much happier. Digital Ocean is built this way.

I couldn't find the other one. All I could find was "the Daily Mail reported".

Maybe HTC was an attempt by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher_Wang to rebrand it.

You post should be reworded:

Attention all linux users: This is the solution you have been looking for!

I installed it 10 minutes after seeing your post. This is what you have been looking for if you want a linux workstation again. I've been using XFCE4 for a year or so. Mate worked correctly on top of ubuntu 12.04. It has the polish that Andy Hertzfeld put into nautlius. The original look and feel is back. It's really excellent. This is the bar to start from.
