As a person who have used this for decades, the first thing I will do is re-enable it bu default. This is one of the main reasons I stick with X. If it is disabled, I guess I go elsewhere. I do not use GNOME anyway, so GNOME can do whate

Not really, back then disks were very expensive and you had no choice but to split. And disk sizes were very small. But, I in a way int kind of makes sense. /bin and /sbin, needed for system boot. /usr/bin and /us

The article makes sense, but in a way it jumped over 1 thing. The US has just as much as "rare" earths/minerals as China has, maybe even more. But getting these minerals is costly compared to China and other countries. The

Interesting site. Logic is rather easy, setting you the WEB site to present the results to me is rather hard.

Is anyone really surprised by this ? It is not like we did not see this coming, the only surprise is it took this long.

I agree, plus were would one store the CO2 ? To get back to "1980", I really doubt puling CO2 from the atmosphere will ever work. Another concern, who will pay for maintenance ? See this for why you cannot let CO2 escape from un

A sad situation all around. I am curious, did changes take place due to this event ? Like real-time telemetry for airliners where their location is always available and saved on systems not on the plane. I remember during the search the co

I do not know your interests, but if you like bicycling, I would look into a joining a recreational cycling club and ride with them. These tend to be low key events and you can make friends there.

They never golfed with me, double the swings and then triple the time I take to find my ball. I have the hardest time find things, not just in golf :) So I guess I would get a decent workout by all the walking I do. FWIW, I have not playe

I believe all the criticism of GnuPG is due to the fact most people grew up with Microsoft or Apple, so they are use to hand-holding. If you read the various how-tos out there it is not that hard to use, just people do not want to read anyt

Yes, bar some high level people in the US. Treat the US like was done to the USSR using tit-for-tat diplomacy. You need to stand up to bullies.

100 years ago was 1925 :) I would think in some places there was bumper to bumper for short distances. I would expect in parts of NYC it existed. I think it was in the 1920s when traffic lights started to appear. But 110 years ago, I agre

Yes, a "reboot" is needed. A bit of history from what I remember: Nixon's plan would have passed except for Ted Kennedy, he stopped it in its tracks. Then when the Clintons came in something flipped, the GOP was all against

So, all they did was privatize their postal service. There will still have a postal service, but run by a private company. I doubt this will end well, but Denmark is a small country so maybe it will work. After a year it would be nice to s

There are a lot more distros than RH, Ubuntu, Gentoo and LFS. And none of them will show you ads except maybe Ubuntu. Plus you can also look at *BSD. None of them comes close to what Microsoft is doing. To me, your comment looks like you

Simple solution, add a large state tax on coal fired plants and prevent the tax from being paid by residential consumers. The Supreme Court ruled the federal gov. cannot override states taxes, so adding the very large tax will force the own
