Fact: green energy/renewable energy/energy saving technologies are cutting edge now. Fact: your processor is made from sand which was discovered by first human ever.

High-tech, by definition, is tech which can make high profit, i.e. c1 sand into $500 processor. Sand is not low-tech or high-tech by itself. PS. Quote from Wikipedia for downvoters: High tech is often viewed as high risk, but offering the o

Because GPL license protects from stealing of code without contributed back. Apple chose FreeBSD as base for it OS, Google chose Linux. Look at sad state of FreeBSD now.

I clearly understand what negative temperature is: if somebody squeezed an amount of energy out of a system, it's temperature drops. If somebody squeezed energy from a system at arbitrary zero point at temperature scale, then system te

> Coldness records themselves are almost never intrinsically important. Temperatures below 0K (i.e. you need to heat a system to have 0K back) are very important to physics. They will allow to understand vacuum much better than today.

LOL. It's extra stimulation to develop better adblock. I already turned on blocking of adblock blockers, because they are annoying.

Of course, automatic translation of binary packages is bad thing which will produce wrong result in lot of cases, but automatic translation of source packages, with build instructions and meta-information, is time saver. For RPM, I will hav

AFAIK (I'm not a native speaker), English language has short and long words. Short words are native, long words are foreign. It's because long words in other languages are composed: short root, and suffix(es) to make proper form.

I saw Linux for first time in 1997 (SuSE 5), running it since 1999, so yes, you are old, thus I'm still young.

Switched my 68 yeard old mom to Linux five year ago. No complaints since that, except for video (so I upgraded CPU) and printer (cable or port is damaged, switched error handling to «cancel» instead of «pause»).

CPAN packages can be translated into perl packages automatically in many cases, or with little modifications. Same for python, ruby and node packages. See fpm[1] for example of one of such tools. [1]: https://www.digitalocean.com

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 3D shooter trilogy maps are based on real plans of Chornobyl and Prypiat. See photos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPf8YlzUPw4 . S.T.A.L.K.E.R. itself is unusual game.

It works, now. Wow. It looks good. It fast. Very neat. Mouse works properly. The only problems so far: * ctrl-arrow and ctrl-shift-arrow combinations are not working in bash and mc; * ctrl-ins/shift-ins, middleclick/shift-middlecl

My notebook (Medion Erazer) was produced 3 or 4 years ago. Currently it has i7 CPU, 20GB of DDR3, but it's not capable to handle basic TERMINAL EMULATOR. It's time to upgrade. I suspect a covert agreement between hardware vendors

It's opensource. PuTTY is ported to Linux and is already in Fedora official repo[1], so KiTTY can be ported to Linux too. [1]: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/putty/

Name clash with KiTTY: http://www.9bis.net/kitty/ , terminal emulator, fork of PuTTY. It will be impossible to create package for both in official repos until name conflict will be resolved.

IMHO, we can make parallels with RF spectrum. Global network and RF spectrum are globally shared resources, so some rules for RF spectrum should apply to global network too. If your system is beyond some minimal power level, e.g. less than

PuTTY does lot of things. PuTTY is good solution for world of Windows, but alien in world of UNIX. "Do one thing" rule applies to terminals too.
