Comment Re:Is there alien intelligence out there? (Score 1) 101

It is a mathematical certainty there is life on other planets. If it can happen here, even at a 1 in 1 billion chance....there are, as far as we know, an infinite number of planets, therefore, it'll happen again, elsewhere. Now whether we will recognize or even meet that life, remains unknown.

I'm a fan of the Alien franchise, but not such a fan I don't call out stupidity where it's deserved. I made it through two episodes before quitting in disgust. The outright idiocy on display in practically every scene had be wondering if the writers or director even knew the history of the Xenomorph at all.

Utter dreck, and later I understand they made the Xeno into a pet. Way to take one of the most terrifying creatures every unleashed onto the silver screen, and turn it into a puppy.

No way. This series, as well as the Predator franchise need to be buried.

If only it were possible. There are tons of bespoke software out there running major systems, that are win-only. I work in a gov't lab, we are windows-only and it's irritating but the software we use will not run under a VM, or WINE, it's straight win-only.

Sure, home use, Linux is there (almost) but business, at least ours, never.

it's because of all the telemetry baked-in to Windows, that is the cause of poor performance and battery life loss while asleep.

It would be interesting to run a be-bloated version of Windows on these systems, and see if it improves anything, or if the whole concept of Windows on a hand-held is a disastrous mess.
