You must be American, you think 100 years is a long time

Enjoy the bikini season while it lasts. In a few years El Nina will take over and we will all be buying new parkas again.

An RPi will likely make a better home server

Iran has been "two weeks away from a nuclear bomb" for at least thirty years now. It's all been part of Israel's plan to convince American boys to die for Israel in a war on Iran.

Well, they got their war and it turns out that a) no sane American boy wants to die for Israel and b) all those expensive American wunderwaffen don't win wars.

So Iran will do what it wants. If it wants nukes, there's nothing American will do about it. And the Iranians now clearly see that the only way to be safe from American attacks is to have nukes like North Korea does.

As for Sharia law, we're going to have Christian Sharia law or Muslim Sharia law. There's no future in which 'uman rights' and 'wimmin's rights' continue to exist much longer because they're utterly destroying Western society.

Yes. A year ago we were scrapping old PCs at work so I took one home thinking it might come in useful one day. Thanks to the AI Bubble I turned it into a home server this year instead of building something new and it works fine with Linux even though Windows 11 won't even run on it. The only real downside is that it's an old i7 so the idle consumption is around 40W when it could probably be quite a bit lower with a more modern CPU and motherboard.

China could well find they have plenty of old hardware Windows won't run on that they can use after installing Linux on them.

If this persists China will simply build more fabs, and more quickly than anyone else. So what if it's old-ish tech, at least they will have it.

Correction, the dystopian interpretation of the constitution purveyed by our current lunatic fringe Supreme Court is that they have the authority to do so. The constitution says otherwise, but at some point, our government stopped actually reading it.

That was a failure, but the first failure was not recognizing it wasn't ready for a research project either. When they realized it was going to have to be heavy and bulky, they should have stopped and either iterated the design again, or smarter IMO, waited for tech to improve (or push it) and then done another design. OTOH Apple can afford to lose the money...

Glad to hear they are still kicking. I hear there's also some Linux-based stuff now but I haven't seen it yet, I'm afraid I'm not much in the market for new cars.

What code they are based on is irrelevant. Slashdot still has a very simple interface (I am using it right now, it is still the best interface) which is easy for bots to interface to using the DOM. Whether it's Perl or C# or Ada underneath makes no difference.

The real question, therefore, is why are we still being subjected to this cowardly anonymous bullcrap? This management has turned off AC posting before, and you could say they turned it back on only because post counts tanked, but have you seen post counts recently? It's now horribly rare to break 100.

Slashdot needs a major overhaul, and I don't mean of the code though that will of course have to change. I mean specifically that mod abuse and AC trolling are driving away every serious poster. My thanks to those of you who still remain, but most of you post less and less, not that I blame you. I presume you're here less, too.

He tricked them into doing it, if anything that will work against him. They are allowed to lie to you, you are not allowed to lie to them.

Because they're idiot followers and they were awed by an RDF

Yeah but just for protection from the cops

Yes of course it is a police state, but yes of course it's stupid to pretend you don't live in one when you do
