There's no reason that Microsoft (and Adobe for that matter) couldn't make a boatload of money selling versions of their apps for Linux. So why don't they? Corruption.

Swapping out the battery back entirely makes little sense for passenger cars but for long haul trucks it makes perfect sense. Instead of recharging stations trucks could swing through, drop their battery and pick up a fully charged replacement.

Like NYC ? You can stand across the valley from this thing and listen to it spin up on a hot summer afternoon when all the air conditioners in the city kick on : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blenheim-Gilboa_Hydroelectric_Power_Station

Make no mistake this is serious and these people are paid. It's about money and preserving the old energy business structure. Musk needs to hire massive PR and counterattack.

Of course there is a point. The benefits of having location independence and "cloud" storage are the same whether the software is open source or not, or whether I share the information with others or not.

Once when I was setting up a dedicated syslog server I installed a dot matrix printer on a serial line in a locked room. The final touch was snipping the transmit+ pin to make it truly write-only.

I certainly will not believe any official reports - the fact that they're late means they're being cooked, without doubt. Some multi-millionaires out there need to make sure to get all the way to the bottom of this.

And in infinite time everything is inevitable, heat death of the universe not withstanding.

IANAL, but on the face of it, any law that improves the position of car dealers and old-school manufacturers at the expense of Tesla and their ilk is in violation of the Sherman Act, which is about as settled as settled law can get.

Yeah didn't think about that.. I have scales and counters with RS-232 interfaces,, which of course I have connected to ethernet,

I almost want to post anon but I can't resist. When I took over my current job ten years ago, the company used a green-screen accounting system based on an emulated Wang 2200 running on SCO Open Server. That puts the actual technology in use back around 1973. This used the Niakwa Basic2c system. The system was lovingly maintained (!) by some dedicated guys in Auburndale.

Before we migrated it off it we got it running on Linux and I still have a KVM image running this system over Centos 5. The last time I booted it was in 2014, or 41 years after the Wang 2200 came out. I actually used one at Ashland (MA) High School - the second interactive computer I ever used. (The first was a PDP-8 accessed via a teletype at 110 baud from Wayland Junior High School).

I recently had my first experience with a form of pair-coding, with another engineer looking over my shoulder while I explained an API he would be working with. It was unnerving at first but after a while I almost found a flow. I gained something by using my left brain to verbalize what I was doing with the very right-brain task of visualizing algorithms and data structures. I will probably be repeating this.

Ditto here. I suspect they are, as you suggest, downloading 3rd party applications that depend on the Cygwin DLL. I use the setup.exe provided and have never had a problem.

well.. there's also watchout4snakes. I think it succeeds at being memorable more often with some tuning choosing the parts of speech and the commonness of each
