There have been articles in the last several months about a slowdown in 777 aircraft sales. 747-8 sales never did really happen. 747 (and A380) freighter sales never happened as expected. Maybe redesigns are getting postponed? I'm told 757s are popular because there is no real replacement. Trump and the Air Force One order: I don't think anything has changed despite Trump's bluster. It is still a proposed purchase of 2 747-8s customized to meet Air Force requirements. They will be very expensive.

Sarah Hoyt has a lot of opinions about lots of things. The larger crowd of voters elected not to reward any of the Puppy nominees. I would have voted the same way. That's not a clique, that's everyone _outside_ the clique. Personally, I would have participated if "City of Stairs" had been on the ballot, but it wasn't. A conspiracy! It's those damn FJWs! or SJWs or whatever.

_You_ try looking inside OpenSSL. It causes bad dreams.

At least you can listen to your 8-tracks at your desk without coworkers complaining.

Linux 4.0 should be named Thunderdome?

My default browser under Linux, and since the lastest Chrome update provided this week, kinda the only one. As of this week's Chrome update (41.0.2272.76-1), it crashes X on app startup; you lose all your work in open apps. Presumably openGL-related; last year there arose a requirement to do something as root udev-ish. An app that can crash other apps: great. Even on Windows, Chrome is less useful: fat, slow, etc.

As decoration, pieces of the set, the Tektronix stuff looked good. It's a shame the scripts were so bad.

I saw the premiere in the student union, the only place on campus where we could watch ABC. It was interrupted by the signing of the Camp David peace treaty between Begin and Arafat, ran late. It was crap. Over the course of the season, fewer folks wandered into the student union to watch it.

Hey, it _usually_ compiles.

Not even a writer for the original Trek would have made that mistake, and we know how those guys felt about keeping things plausible: Nazi planet, gangster planet, second Earth, and so forth.

Death by snu-snu

She provides that much more constructive criticism.

And we played Pong!

But it's all uphill on your drive back!

We have failed to uphold Brannigan's Law. However I did make it with a hot alien babe. And in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars? Kif, I'm asking you a question.
