We fart in our own general direction.

This is really awesome. Now that you are started, could you switch to the Game of Half-Life? Some people are waiting.

Autonomous laser firing rover uses AI to choose target to be obliterated. I just hope it stays trapped on Mars.

I still have the pinch I used to make these floppies double sided cutting the notch on the side. When I explained my daughters what this was for, they looked at me like if I just explained them how I squashed rocks to make fire...

I have never been able to stand more than 5 minutes of a MOOC video before telling myself 'OK, I'll find a proper textbook.'.
I usually have a basic view of the MOOC topic ; at least the textbook allows me to skim it and dig deeper on the points that I'm interested in.
Just sitting at my desk and watching a video is usually boring and requires to watch the complete segment before realising it was not what I was looking for.

The same goes for all these video tutorials : why bother making a 5-min youtube video on some software installation when a one-page text with command lines would be appropriate?

And if you pick the right million people to send there, it's a win-win situation! I'm not sure that it would be really ethical to send one million bankster and lawyers to Mars though. At least from the Martians standpoint.

I for one used this service to share files between my Ubuntu desktops, it worked seamlessly. It is especially useful for development files (programs and scripts) that I share between my different workplaces.

Does it exist or not?

As a Linux user it's sometimes necessary to cleanly reboot the machine through the Kernel call Alt+PrintScreen+ REISUB, I don't see how to do that on this laptop?

I'm in Europe and you seem to be using Imperial Arithmetics as well as Imperial Units, leading to some confusion in my brain.

and she took a few weeks to adapt, now she uses it (mostly) trouble-free. I also enabled Desktop sharing via VNC to avoid driving to her place every time she complains 'I had my icon here and now it's gone' or 'It does not behave as berfore' or 'The menu to send my mails is gone'.
Her grand-children also spend lots of time on this computer while she takes care of them, and I used to clean lots of malware after them... not anymore.

I have to agree on all the previous comments : I'm only here for the comments, not for visual candy. My suggestion is to initiate a poll with the different site design options ; seeing all the comments here I bet the results will by "90% - keep curent design 10%- Get us CmdrTaco back".

I, for one, welcome our new chocolate eating, gold-piling overlords (I live in France at 10 km from the Swiss border...)
