You're a brave person, to post those two words out of the gate. The Larry-hate is strong here and engenders idiocy in what might otherwise be rational people. They rag Redmond too but tolerate that crap because, you know, muh games. Meanwhile the devs still chasing Sun.

Shoot that water.

I'm sure their grapevine is a bit faster than Slashdot's or yours. Don't lose sleep over it; the individual is known.

Only for the Earthlings.

Sweet Jesus and a side of fries, I was hoping somebody would post this. Like the old days, when this site was smarter and funner. Thanks mjvvjm. If you ever need bus fare it's on me (local only).

For whatever reason, the LADEE satellite's appearance in the NASA video instantly brought to mind the satellites in "2001: A Space Odyssey", just after the famous jump cut. Damn that Kubrick.

I think it sounds worse because most of the folks ragging on about it are morons with no input to offer. Do AOC & Bernie Inc. see any climate change from their private jet? Did Katy Perry see any climate change from her window seat on Semi-Spaceship Minnow? Did she burn her lips on the searing climate-changed desert sand when she kissed it? Hell, even Hendrix had the God given sense to kiss the sky instead of the dirt, and he was trippin' balls. Find a corner of your yard or some terrible parking lot and plant a few bee friendly plants. It doesn't take a lot; it takes a lot of people each doing a little. And stop listening to those f*****g charlatans.

fvwm is the Slackware of window managers.
All my menus right where they need to be: under the cursor, wherever it is.

Well Hell's Bells, all this time I thought Cronkite was saying STD.

No, you're thinking of "Pulp Fiction".

If 'inexpensive = insecure' what business logic leads you to think 'similalrly inexpensive = also secure'?
Developers and Engineers at those places have families to feed and those families need a roof over their heads. Even setting aside the old chestnut of price gouging, those businesses aren't interested in undercutting themselves, nor should they be. People who pay rent should understand that, at least a little.
Security is entirely reactive; 'expensive and secure' is no better against some of the smartest humans you could ever meet.

That "23 hrs" Is not "in any way significant" would prove that Open Souce Software governence is not the worldwide community is has always claimed to be. If anyone can, it is 'computer people', living on a spherical-ish planet, who should be able to understand the concept of a universal existential Now, or what is GMT for? That this happened at all is more telling than anything.

Im getting less educated every day just coming to slashdot If I knew I should stop I would but Im less educated

Alien: Your world was so beautiful. Look at what you've done.
Liberal: We tried but it was all Orange Man's doing. He's destroying us.
Alien: How long has all this destruction been going on?
Liberal: Since our time 2016.
Alien: ...
Alien: We have visited before, looking for wisdom but you have been like this for so many of your orbits.
Liberal: Nooo, it's Orange Man. He is bad!
Alien: ...
Alien (to others): We're leaving, now. Disrupt them on the way out, maybe the deer will return. They're cute.
