After they finish the BSOD screen, the systemd team's next project is to add Clippy to the boot sequence.
In the 1950's COBOL was supposed to let bosses write their own programs. In the 1990s, Visual Basic was supposed to do the same. I guess this meme repeats on a 30-40 year cycle.
I had a Kaypro II. I did the Micro Cornucopia magazine II to IV upgrade and ended up with two 2/3 height DSQD floppies.
The Kaypro company was owned by the Kay family. I heard a description of Kaypro's demise as being caused by "Too many Kays, not enough pros".
Have it default to what 99.99999% of users expect. The EMACS diehards will know how to restore the setup they like (or will have to read the docs).
I really wish they'd built a chip that ran at 4.77 GHz...
DemocratIC Senators Introduce...
There is no such thing as the "Democrat" party. It's the "Democratic" party. Using "Democrat party" is just a way for Republic politicians to irritate Democrats.
They're obviously trying to boost sales of the Hutzler 571 Banana slicer. https://www.amazon.com/Hutzler-571-Banana-Slicer/product-reviews/B0047E0EII
if you had no access to a lab that would do process E-4
I think you actually mean "Process K14", the Kodachrome process, which involved 1 story high processing machines and a manager with a degree in chemical engineering. E4 processing was what Ektachrome, Agfachrome and Anscochrome used until the late '60s (Kodak) and the mid '70s (everyone else). I remember shooting Agfachrome 50 in the eary '70s, with gorgeous pastels.When Agfa discontinued the E4 Agfachrome 50 and went to Agfachrome 64, an E6 film, I felt like my pictures suddenly turned into clown posters.
Not until they add an outline mode like MS Word's. This is a feature that has been requested since at least 2003, and nothing happens.
From the perspective of 99% of people, they can carry a 15 pound laptop as well as a 2 pound laptop, and their hyper-sensitivity to 'extraneous weight' is a weak reason at best.
Enjoy your Kaypro II....
I kinda wish they'd called this release "Wascally Wabbit".
If a Poettering-like asshole was detected anywhere near OpenBSD, they would be shot down like an aircraft flying over the White House without clearance.
Only one allowed per project (cough Theo De Raadt cough). I do grant that Theo's stuff works.
I don't understand why either of these guys (Open OR Libre) can't get their act together and implement something with the functionality of MS Word's Outline Mode. This has probably been the singe most requested feature in Open/Libre Office for *years* (requests go back to at least 2002), and it has steadily been ignored. It's the *only* reason I continue to use Word...
OMG! Did you really just add a systemd troll to a Stallman-bashing troll thread?
What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite. -- Bertrand Russell, "Skeptical Essays", 1928
