The star trek universe is not subject to physics in general. Sound traveling without air, time travel, FTL, Newton's Law being ignored, Creating/destroying matter, "beaming" people down to a planet, etc.

Lots of science fiction stories have this concept, but usually they talk about Slower-than-light, multi-generational space ships that takes centuries to reach the next star, only to find that during the last 100+ years, the destination plan

"there's no need to configure servers manually" assuming you have a configuration you can trust. Where are these published? And do you trust them?

The phrase I use is "Security through obscurity provides temporary security which degrades over time"

I saw no mention of the security design, so I can only conclude it provides no real privacy.

I used and wrote code for NeWS - the pre-curser for Java. I was also at the talk where Gosling admitted the problems it had. In some cases, a lot of features of Java were in response to the problems with NeWS. NeWS was so awesome when it ca

Yes, but there's a big difference between a one-time demo under ideal conditions, and something that can be mass-produced and used daily. In the case of tires, (1) the car is likely moving, (2) the tires are spinning at the same time,

According to Wikipedia, grep was first used in "Version 4 AT&T UNIX" According to my 1984 Eunice manual, Look was part of the 7th edition of Unix.

One of the useful things about look is that it defaults to the dictionary. So if you weren't sure how to spell accommodate, you could type look ac | grep date

I needed a programmable USB foot pedal for my Linux system, as I wanted a hands free way to give a presentation, so I bought one from https://www.delcomproducts.com/webpage.asp?id=32 for $40.

But Google will fix the security flaws automatically. You have to compare this device to the typical home router, which is NEVER updated. And even if you do run an Open Source firmware, you have to make sure it's kept up to date.

I'm not sure why it is defined as a function when a shell script would work as well, and prevents .bashrc clutter. Also it doesn't understand traditional tar options, i.e. explain 'tar xf filename'

Sun had the NeWS windowing system before XWindows. Be glad that did not become the standard. Be very glad.

FWIW, I learned the vi cursor keystrokes playing rogue in 1982. I also learned C studying the source, while staring at lines like while ( j++= i++); which was a pretty strange construct to a Pascal programmer.

I hate it when a program has a huge --help output, and the man page is nearly empty, and says "see the --help option for more details." Things like examples, see also, etc. are very valuable to someone trying to figure out how to

As I recall, the original ls didn't have that feature. Examining the characteristics of the output stream and changing behavior is another "rule" that is not mentioned often. Another example is buffering the output to a large
