About the quarter pounders transportation problem, space elevators sounds like a great solution. Still, doesn't sound like a big gain to get humans to Mars besides as a trophy. Better to send machines with tech greater than 90's 2MP cameras

Redhat and Canonical are big companies that did bet the house on Linux. A few years back I was confident Canonical was what desktop Linux needed to get its shit together. And today I'm typing this on a Zareason laptop that's supposed to pro
