Education and healthcare should never be for profit.

Your infographic shows that suse was rebased off jurix and redhat after it stopped being Slackware based.

I keep getting asked at work if I use teams. I tell them I never learned how to use it and I have no intention of learning. I have email when I need something documented. I have a phone when I’m away from my desk, which is most of the time. I can also discuss things face to face, because I’m not afraid of walking across site, since I’m doing that most of the day anyway.

The same goes for the Irish car bomb drink. As I heard one comedian say “imagine how many Americans would be up in arms if I made a drink that was two kamikazes in a Manhattan and called it a 9/11.”

I remember being asked what I needed 64 MB of RAM for. My answer, of course, being “because I can.”

I’m not ashamed to admit I only read this because of the March 7th thumbnail.

Maybe they should try making a Final Fantasy game again.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I used FreeBSD before I used Linux. It was still really complicated to set up at the time. I can’t speak to modern versions. I also used openbsd more recently to make a router out of a sun ultra 5 I trash picked. Learning pf and seeing up a router all by hand was a good learning experience. Then the hd crashed and I didn’t have a backup of my configs. I didn’t have enough ambition to start from scratch, and there are plenty of modern distros that are ready made routers.

I knew I wasn’t the only one.

Prohibited to make forests the target except when they are military objectives. Did they add that exception because they might have to fight the battle at Helm’s Deep?

Terrible GUI? Microsoft can’t even keep their print dialog consistent across their own programs, let alone dealing with different dialog boxes across third party software.

I agree on the package manager. I got so used to rpm style from SuSE that I have a hard time with Debian based systems.

That’s a weird way to spell Vim, Arch, and C

It’s worth reading the whole series of you’re interested. They aren’t awesome, but they are fairly quick reads, and the way he resolves the story is interesting.

I once ran a campaign based on Fred Saberhagen’s books of swords. I’m the books there are twelve swords that would be considered greater artifacts. One of my players was playing a pacifist. He picked up the sword called Townsaver while his village was being invaded. Anyone who has read the books knows this same situation happens right at the beginning of the series. The sword takes over, because it’s power is to force anyone who holds it to protect unarmed innocents. He proceeded to slaughter the invading force. He was devastated.

I didn’t work there. I was a customer. I didn’t know what they were using. I didn’t recognize the interface, I just barely know enough about databases to recognize that’s what he was doing.

The salesman I was dealing with seemed to have no trouble using it, but all he was doing was using a web browser and some database access.
