For no particular reason, SuSE was the first distro I ever got into (8.1 back in 2003). I used it primarily until some time around ~10.1 or 10.2 (OpenSuSE and played a bit with SLES/SLED evaluation versions). I feel like it was pretty accessible and well put together (especially from a system configuration/administration side , YaST2 is pretty decent for someone coming over from Windows), but Debian eventually prevailed for a variety of reasons. Not the least of these was the package management. RPM seemed to frequently goof up in ways that it took me considerable additional learning to even understand, much less rectify, as a Linux noob and I probably reinstalled it 20-30 times on several machines over the course of the first couple years. Do not take this as my saying apt/dpkg offers perfect package management by any stretch, but it seemed to be able to resolve issues much better than the others I'd tried, and this persisted through the 2000s. Also the easy availability of contrib/non-free packages when needed. Also has decent platform support https://wiki.debian.org/Suppor...

I am into self-loathing, so I'll get right on it!

Seems to be some sort of psychometry exam, possibly one of those quiz-like bits where it asks you if Bob is a good or bad person for stealing the cookie, and/or if you should tell on Bob for stealing the cookie.

(You should not tell on Bob for stealing the cookie, Bob might get angry.)

Don't forget Pentium Pro, which was a major architectural stepping stone (the first 'i686' CPU, though PII was vastly more popular and practical)

Also don't forget there were also (briefly) Core Solo and Core Duo 32-bit CPU lines (basically improved Pentium Ms)

IBM's Thinkpad model scheme was supposedly inspired by this as well, at least early on.

On my own personal desktop, going from 3.5GHz to 4.2GHz ("all-core turbo") makes a very noticeable performance impact on my seriously outdated system (i7-3930k). That being said, it requires a substantial cooling solution. The usefulness of it, in my case, comes from eking a bit more useful life out of the machine before i eventually replace it. If the chip fries it's around $30 to replace it, but that hasn't happened in the half-decade it has been running like this (and it is definitely showing its age very badly in the last few years due to significant IPC improvements in modern chips, so the death of the chip would certainly lead to the system being replaced at this point).

Agreed that blockquote seems most suitable for general quoting purposes.

Melting plastic onto the page also results in a print that is highly resistant to bleeding/running due to contact with liquid. There appear to be paper/ink technologies on the market that can prevent water damage (ignoring coatings/lamination), but I wouldn't expect them to hold up to alcohol or other solvents.

I would not be shocked to learn it managed to do so 2 or 3 times on the same day.

Spoilers goddammit

Ah, the Winamp versioning system.

Youtube's automatic closed captioning for this video would probably be pretty funny if it weren't just given "[Music]". Auto CC of live newscasts (and similar, on youtube) used to get pretty weird, and i've seen some very strange things written during live TV with CCs being written by humans on a few seconds' delay.

Lies! /s It was actually written out in the glossary of terms, at least in the FCOM I managed to find for it... but definitely void of further description.
