As you, yourself, said... Race is a social construct. A very negative social construct. We are all humans. That's all that should matter.

After all, MLK wanted a world where people are not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. We were doing quite well for a long time after MLK was assassinated. Were we perfect in trying to bring about his idea? No, but since his untimely death we had made great strides in making the kind of future that he would've liked to see.

Unfortunately, the way I see it, things are regressing. I have absolutely no doubt that if MLK were to come back to life today, he'd be thoroughly pissed.

Sounds good to me.

Wake me up when real world speeds match the specs on the box. Until then, I'll be using Ethernet in situations where I need the bandwidth.

Yeah, sorry for the double post here but... Yeah, I really don't think that's going to happen any time soon so if I had those little nanomachines repairing my DNA, I'd be around for a damned long time.

I'd like to live just long enough to see if humanity manages to pull their collective heads out of their equally collective asses.

It's not that I don't want the status quo to continue, because as we've seen so many times in the past, that's not working. However, there's a reason why our Founding Fathers intended to have the states have more power than the federal government is because they saw how having a powerful central government running amok could do horrible things. After all, they ran from it in England when they came to form the United States. And not only that but what may be good for South Dakota may not work at all for say... Oh, I don't know, Maine or Iowa.

If I were Him, I'd be thinking that way too. I've too lost faith in Humanity.

I almost have to wonder if this is a message from God to tell us humans to straighten up and fly right. God did some seriously bad shit in scripture in the past, He's probably pissed off at humanity for destroying His world like we have with constant pollution, and this is our wake-up call to fix our shit.

I've been saying for the last ten years. China is not your friend; they never have been.

The idea of having the log file be in JSON format would eliminate the need to REGEX stuff out of the log entry, all the pertinent data would be accessible via array keys. Simply loop over each JSON object, decode it, and done. It takes the hard part out of processing log entries.

And yet, I don't see a problem with that. It turned Linux into a turnkey solution that companies could deploy and use and thus increasing the market share of Linux. Isn't that a good thing? Wasn't it always the plan to kill Microsoft stone dead?

Each line of the log file would be a separate JSON array where you could use a log file parser to loop over each line and decode each line as a separate and individual JSON log object.

Oh, if only there was a way to write log files in a nice and easily digestible format. Oh wait! There is a way!

Write each entry as a JSON array with pertinent datapoints in separate array keys. Sure, you could have the whole log file be included in something like logObject[rawEntry] but then you'd have other things like logObject[time], logObject[failedProcess], logObject[failureReason], and God knows what other array keys to store important data.

Nope. But then again, I keep my system stock and I don't use a bunch of snake oil tools and utilities that claim to "speed up your computer".

And you say that as if that's a bad thing. World domination. Isn't that what you guys all wanted? Wasn't that always the goal with the whole "Year of the Linux Desktop" thing? Don't sit there and tell me that you didn't want to have the world run Linux? Well, this is how it's done.
