With all of the recent events around racial discrimination, how have you been dealt with discrimination as a Ferengi?

I think it was around 1992, I was browsing ftp.txt files at multiple ftp sites and kept running into this "linux" thing. I was a CS student, so I looked into it more and found out it was a UNIX OS for PCs. I thought cool and thought I'd try it. 40 diskettes later downloaded from the student computer lab and I was installing it onto my computer at home. I hardly knew anything about partitions on a hard drive at the time and easily wiped out my Windows 3.1 partition. When I finally got it to boot up and got a 2400 baud SLIP connection going back to school, I couldn't believe it. I would start Netscape, go wash the dishes and come back in time to see the page loaded. (It wasn't even porn! That took a LOT longer!) Since then I've had Linux installed on all of my personal machines. Since 1999, I've had Linux installed on all of my work machines and around 2008 I got rid of my last Windows machine and have run Linux exclusively.

Linux has helped me build several products and has provided countless hours of learning. Praise be to Linus and GNU and all of the other people that helped make this possible.

I use a Chromebook for almost everything I do anymore. The laptop with Linux Mint comes out when I need to do some coding or adb/fastboot for messing with rooted phone or tablet, but that's about it.

I used the key combo to put up stats on my screen in the Chrome browser on my Chromebook and after a short ramping up time, it read 1920x1080 as the resolution on the bitrate line. Seems like it is working at 1080p.

Well, this timely leak should help sales of the book.

As a long time /. reader, I can imagine what a hell of a ride this has been for you, Rob. Thanks for all the effort you put into /. and for the great influence you and /. have had on the whole internet community. Good luck in your future endeavors and enjoy some time off.

I must admit to inadvertently attributing the internet legend of Taco Hell to you, think that's where CmdrTaco came from. Oops.

Maybe since the water is the medium for the sound that is causing them pain, they are trying to leave that medium to stop the pain. I don't know, but makes sense to me.
