Well something needs to be done about malaria. Since there is no hope in solving Climate Change, seems malaria and other disease are slowing heading north. I remember reading some nasty mosquito diseases already landed in Florida and South

I just checked, config option --with-x-toolkit=motif still works with 30.1 In a way I would be surprised if motif is removed, I think FSF still wants to support proprietary UN*X and for that you really need to support motif. FWIW, lucid and

Yes it is rising and how would one stop it ? In reality there is no way to stop it outside of what the article recommends. Plus this also applies to many other labor intensive industries. People who work in these industries want to be pa

This is from vermaden, who's site has a lot of informative very good FreeBSD information. I remember in the 8x days, there was talk of moving parts or all of base installable via pkg. That server had a heat death and I have yet to rep

I agree, I saw Xorq and with the font I have, it looked like Xorg. No offense, but I avoid AI like a plague, so I saw this I thought "WHY?", thinking it was X11 (Xorg). Now a bit of a rant. Why or why do people have to use X???

This is just a peek into a possible future. With the trend of eliminating cash, the powers that be can prevent people from buying anything deemed harmful. Or a large company can close down a small but innovative competitor with a flick of

Why would people stay employed there with Trump and the GOP treating them the way they do. They are in demand and moving will get them higher pay and a more stable life.

Thanks, I was wondering about ext4 and time stamps. I wonder what the zfs/btrfs type file systems do. I am a bit lazy to check but I expect btrfs is using 64 bit. zfs, I would not be surprised if it matches zfs (edit meant ext4 here)

I have to agree, the most painful and uninformative meetings I have been at all have one thing in common, powerpoint. Best meetings, no presentations and they get into details. His rule/method interests me.

Somehow I missed parts 1 -- 3, but those are linked in the part 4 article. Started with part 1, so far it seems interesting.

For the US only: Because due to the current brain dead policies of the GOP in the US, life expectancies in the US are falling. So instead of storing up Social Security by making the ultra rich pay their fair share, people who do real work t

Money wins all the time and the GOP is happy to take it for supporting fossil fuels. But the climate change fix party (democrats) is more than happy to open up new Oil Fields if they think high gas prices will hurt their election chances

Not being a scientist of any kind, I fully believe it is fossil fuel emissions, mainly from autos. When I was very young, where I lived, a city of 100000, I would say less than 50% of the people there drove plus most worked in the city they

Lets pretend what you are saying is true, which it is not. Who would you want to access your data ? The State or the "underworld". Many countries have laws on how to access your data. The underworld, you may wake up dead. Gran

I thought the article was "OK", but my main issue is they did not go into a lot of detail on the Satellites. One case the mentioned date launched. I would like to know: * dates launched * Satellites still in active use * What Net
