  • I don't think you want to run on all of those devices. I think you probably only want to run on your machine and your other machine

  • I don't think you can tell a Linux from a Unix. Though in general unixes are tidier, there are Linux users with Unix style and habits that will break the style

  • I made the switch last night and am still a bit shocked at how well it went

  • Don't worry about long update gaps, that is just their "between basic package changes" updates. They won't change you between Apache and Nginx (web servers) within a version number, but you get all the updates for everything over that time

    Unless you're running servers you won't notice the difference between different distributions' update schedules

  • Current Windows seems to need to reboot four times to get installed. Linux updates as it installs so it's just "reboot and eject installation media to start using your new system"

  • People called the stuff on the surface "lava"

    Scientists called the stuff the crust floats on "magma"

    Science needed to draw a line for when magma becomes lava, they chose when it reaches the surface

    Calling the stuff lining your underground lair lava is about as bad as calling the Moon a planet

  • Okay, so give us the IQ 150 take on why dinosaurs are reptiles, with particular note to birds.

  • Some people have a very strong opinion that wanking is bad, probably a sin too. They'll make up whatever they need to, especially now as they need to fight the advice that regular ejaculations protect against prostate cancer

  • The post appears to be about "perfect flowers" which are flowers that have both male and female parts, joking on that and human sexuality

    Is audiophile bullshit cheating?

  • Shame he never tested the switch's continuity between the connected pin and the case in the two switch positions

  • I don't believe you could save the emissions from animal agriculture. Most animal ag is on land that isn't suitable for growing crops, if it was ended, the land would become useless and left to go wild where it would support just as many just as polluting animals, but with no possibility of treating the pollution problem as no one would be managing the wild animals

    Apparently your hobbies becomes less interesting if you're forced to do them all the time? Who knew?

  • Electrical engineering is designing stuff an electrician might work on, something that's part of the grid, electronic engineers work on stuff with chips in them. Most of the stuff Big Clive shows was designed by an electronic engineer

  • My favourite subjects in school and university were the humanities, but I landed in IT systems analysis which turned out to be fun for me, especially now I'm good at it, but I'm pretty trapped there by ok pay and a very generous retirement plan (we called it golden handcuffs back when there were many of us with access to it — since the early 2000s it got less generous.

    I feel like I could run a brewpub in my retirement, I wouldn't need it to survive as I'd be on a good pension indexed to the CPI*, and it would work as a one man operation

    (Consumer price index, the cost of living)

  • What he's saying is there is always a bulge of water pointing at the moon (and another pointing away from it) the earth spins so the land sees the bulge coming and retreating as our bit of coast passes under the moon

    It's a bad description because the water also spins with the rest of the world, so though there always is a bulge that is stationary relative to the moon, there is always different water being part of it.

  • Also part of the tide is solar, if you see a highest high tide or lowest low tide, it is very likely it will be at a full or new moon as that is when the moon and sun are aligned, with the moon on one side or the other of Earth (or lagging that by days due to land getting in the way)

  • You know it's too expensive to fix for the people and companies with more wealth than 99.99999% of us, and with the decision maker(s) not valuing any future beyond their expected lifespan, and I don't think any of them think the previous generation will be the last generation to die
