I did agency-funded physics for decades, with projects supported by DOE, NASA, the Navy, and other agencies, and not once did any agency or any grant officer even hint that they were looking for a particular answer. Grant renewals were depended on research progress, not on getting an expected result. But I hear this idea repeated often by those indulging a conspiratorial frame of mind about, usually, climate science.

Interesting. I don't know anything about the F4 shortcuts, but I always thought of as nearly universal. Works on every variety of Linux that I've used, and, if I remember right, on Macs, too (or was that Apple-w only?).

Stay tuned for future product announcements.

You get it. The close buttons donâ(TM)t do anything, but they make the user feel more at home.

These are both excellent ideas. Iâ(TM)ll bring them up at the next product development meeting.

You realize that I don't get paid for visits to the article, right?

One of the clients I reviewed has an optional setting where images are loaded automatically when they are scrolled into view, so, aside from a possible delay, the experience is web-like.

"I wouldn't be surprised if someone paid and then copied the entire article here, just to spite you." To spite me? What on earth are you imaging the effect of this would have on me?

Why not? It would take some extra work to set up a Gemini server and make Gemini versions of the pages (it's not HTML), but it's well suited.

Gemini which already exists (the "would have" is from the planning point of view), is not HTML. Links are on separate lines. There is no javascript no CSS.

So we're not allowed to post our own articles?

Are you suggesting that the editors or Slashdot get a kickback from payments to Linux Pro Magazine? Because something like that would have to be happening to justify language like "sleazy". Of course we would all prefer to read everything immediately without having to pay for it or subscribe. But you can still wait a few week for the article to become free.
