@ellied Any points for getting the color to set something on fire before the color is recognized?

Back to repairing the HP laptop. How worried should I be that a replacement CPU has used thermal paste on it that was never cleaned off? It's an AMD.

That SuperCPU I stumbled across sold for $2,524, more than 12 times its original retail price. That's absurd.

@maple I got that once, too, & IDR if it was because of curl or wget.

@monorail I have so many questions about your teacher, and I fear I know the answers to them all. :<

@monorail not to mention being off by about 2-3 decades inre cobol & other early structured languages.

I forgot that the Apple Lisa Office System did this, too, in a much more flexible way. You have to copy the blank template icon to a new file icon, rename & move the icon to where you want it to live, & *then* you can open it to start editing the document.

US Pol 

Republicans: States should have more freedom in their laws and shouldn't be micromanaged by the federal government!
California: OK, we're going to make our own laws to protect net neutrality!
Republicans: No not like that!

@zac Maybe. For several years after its adoption by major distros, among the things pulseaudio couldn't do was mix sounds from different applications, things OSS, ALSA, & ESD had been doing reliably forever. Just as with bad systemd design decisions currently, Poettering's inclination was to blame everyone & everything else for not using his code properly.

@zac Lennart Poettering, the same guy who made the Linux blight called systemd, that's what. The guy just doesn't know how to make decent programs.

I'd boost the whole thread if it wasn't bad etiquette.
