Hey maybe he was just happy until he heard the first question?

Or until he realized that he was at the NABJ convention rather than NAMBLA.

It caused her the race.

Did you accidentally a verb?

Yeah but not for the presidency.

For screenshots I recommend Greenshot. Simple to use and good annotation tools.

You’re right about “run Linux” but not sure what you’re on about with “trap yourself in garbage popular distro like Ubuntu or Debian” there.

Those distros are just fine; like anything else, use what is best for you, no reason to be negative.

It’s a bit harder to do this digitally though since the glyphs aren’t just marks on paper.

Vegetables are “parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food.”

Sweet potatoes are both tubers and vegetables.

Still vegetables.

AD is basically LDAP+Kerberos, plus some tools to manage system and user configuration using LDAP.

So for Linux it would be those two tools, and roll your own tools for config.

Or just use Samba which handles a lot of this in the same way as AD.

Which are the two? NOAA and what else?

It might have been good or bad, and it would certainly have long-term impacts that we can’t predict and don’t matter now since it didn’t and can’t happen in that way.

Didn’t say it made them heroes, just pointing out a time when it was likely people would be supporting them.

“Rooting for them” in general is probably overstating but “rooting for them to take out Putin” would be reasonable IMO.

I mean there was that very brief period when it seemed like they might revolt against Putin.

Yeah but it’s written like operating systems are thought of as something “written by/for” a government. That’s pretty rare, whereas other pieces of software are far more common.

It’s also completely backwards: “the government will use only open source software” is the opposite direction from “software the government makes will be open sourced”

I think it would mostly apply to software other than operating systems, really.

Weird custom one-off databases that only a government would need, mostly.

The “third party rights” is a loophole you could drive a truck through, if you wanted to circumvent this law.

You realize that software exists other than operating systems right?

I have little trouble myself but I have an “advantage”:

ignoring we live in a democracy where everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Yeah, they don’t want that either.

(Open)PGP is the protocol, GPG is just one application that implements it.
