“I still am, but I used to be, too.”

Kenya believe it?

There’s an argument that BSD would have been dominant in that case. It was bogged down in lawsuits claiming that it was pirated Bell Unix at the time, but they were dismissed not long after.

The arrival of Linux also slowed development of the GNU Hurd kernel, so that’s another possible contender.

In the sense that PC stands for “personal computer”, yes.

But PC has historically been a shortening of “IBM PC compatible”, which makes certain assertions about system architecture. In this sense, x86 Macs are PCs, but others are not.

The people interacting with patients don’t know which is which, but somebody does.

The whole point is seeing if the drug is better than a placebo, so you definitely need that information when it’s time to analyze data.

What does ‘b***’ mean in the first panel?

It looks like censorship, but I can’t think of any b-words that make sense there.

🎵 Blackening the summer skies
With burning wings and countless eyes
We tremble at the sight of you, Jolene 🎶

Okay, but can we still do the alternate lyrics where Jolene is some kind of eldritch horror?

🎶 He screams about you in his sleep
And when he wakes does not but weep
In terror, of the one they call Jolene. 🎵

Worse than that, in order to preserve the date/day-of-week correlation, the extra 1-2 days (you still need leap years) would not have to be part of any week.

So that’s instant opposition from all the Abrahamic religions.

Ubuntu circa 2008 it is, then.

That logic assumes that there is some universal way if measuring the position of the Earth, but there is no absolute system for measuring position in space. Location, distance, velocity, and even simultaneity depend entirely on the choice of a frame of reference. And the frame in which the earth is stationary is no less valid than any other.

Also the type of time machine has a bearing here. The traditional H.G. Wells vehicle-type doesn’t jump, but moves smoothlythrough all the intervening moments in time, so there’s no reason it wouldn’t stay firmly on the surface. And a time portal that forms a connection to the same apparatus at a different time would have no problem either, since the machine itself doesn’t move except in the ordinary way.

No, no we don’t need more anti-Nazi slop. We need the real gourmet shit; anti-Nazi fine dining.

I don’t have hard data, but if my experience is at all representative then you’re much more likely to be able to run a 25 year old Windows program on Linux than on Windows.

He also voices AM in the adventure game based on it.

It’s because they’ve got everything north of Hudson’s Bay broken out separately.

I have a pair of Bluetooth earbuds that I sometimes use with my laptop. The actual BT connection goes smoothly in the KDE ui, but they don’t show up as an audio device until I restart the audio service in the terminal.

Marie Curie was, in fact, a married mother when she did the work that earned her two Nobel Prizes in separate fields.

I’ve had some system updates lately that reduced disk usage.

It’s difficult to imagine that ever happening on Windows.
