My rule of thumb in these estimates: "Always double the amount presented in these estimates" This includes large construction projects, especially government run projects. So I say 500 billion USD will be needed :) Thanks grilled

Actually it did, well technically it was userland. Pulseaudio was forced on me because Firefox and a few others need it. PAM was forced on me because some applications needing it, I believe that was due to kde. Until v15, slackware had no n

I would not call these people "nerds", many are entitled bros (gals?) with rather rich parents. If you look at many of their family history, their parents are well into the upper middle class, borderline rich. In most cases, the

As a fvwm user, if Linux forces Wayland on me, I guess my 30 year use of Linux may be coming to an end. Oh well.

Interesting, and in a way I can see a tiny bit of Space 1999 in some of Lucus's works. I really liked the first season, but season 2 seemed to a been a bit worse, too bad the series ended too soon.

> It is your device that is not compatible with Linux No truer words, and it is very hard to get people to understand that phrase. Like the author I tried to get people on-board with Linux in the 90's, but it was a very hard time.

For me, the only drawback for corporations is the 6 month upgrade. There is no LTS on OpenBSD. I use OpenBSD as a workstation and it works great, but in a production environment I doubt I would use OpenBSD for critical items, mainly becaus

Simple, US health care continues to fall behind other Industrial Countries. But the big ask here is, what is wrong with the US educational System that forces people to avoid becoming medical professionals ? Maybe when Trump is gone, this sp

Seems to be an intro to a kind of but lite weight vi mode. I tend to like the regular mode in Emacs. Maybe a bit OT, but I think I saw here a week or more ago a post about magit, I am toying with using it, but seems to be a rather big pack

The only thing about Gnome3 I like is it does not give me eye strain like KDE 1 -- 5 does. I have yet to use KDE6. Granted with each release KDE is getting better with eye strain, but it still happens. With Gnome, no issues at all. With

I do not use twitter, so do not care. But if you use a fake name and fake email, which people should be using on twitter, who cares. Also if you self host your VPN, how would twitter know. Looks like only people using a commercial VPN will

IIRC, working with matrices was much easier using FORTAN, I would expect modern fortran kept that 'easiness'.

I wonder where this is coming from. I saw on USENET in comp.os.linux.misc a conversation about fizzbuzz too. That was on Nov 12. Anyway an interesting read.
