Upstate New York has some pretty terrible flooding. I don't know where you consider "central New York" (it is -- after all -- a large state). The corridor along I-86 (Elmira, Corning, Hornell, etc), where I lived for a few ye

If you have ever used TWM, then you would know that the 'T' stands for Terrible. Fortunately, there are lots of lightweight WMs that are far better. Personally, I use tiling WMs (namely XMonad at the moment), so I could really car

This video[0] (dated Nov 29, 2016) says 381 forked packages. That's not nearly as bad as it sounds because many individual software projects are divided up into multiple packages. For example, libvirt[1] produces 9 packages consisting

Other comments have greatly expounded on this, but I would point out that 45 years isn't long if you figure that government and military leaders would have been in their 50's and 60's and would have had vivid memories of such
