Time travel will be invented in 2247.
It is limited to 3 minutes travel into the past.
A "Timedrive" wil become an emergency safety feature on all space vessels.
On activation, the Timedrive resets everything on the ship by 3 minutes.
Everything except the warning message left in the exit log.
What kinds of repairs does it need? Nothing major, I hope (as in, transmission/engine work, body work, complicated electrical work).

This is a serious intro for people with no Linux experience. Or for self-taught Linux users who worry they may not be aware of everything they should know about their chosen OS.-40hz (May 29, 2014, 04:20 AM)
One of the guitarists in my old group owned it's cousin the Deacon. None of us were in love with the sound of the thing. (It was kinda harsh played through a SuperTwin Reverb.) And it wasn't any more comfortable or balanced than a Strat was. But what the heck - if you like it, go for it!-40hz (May 30, 2014, 10:52 PM)
That said, having personally had a shot at playing both a Deacon and a Klein, the Deacon is to a Klein as KittyHawk is to an SR-71 Blackbird. No comparison in terms of design, construction, finish or materials.
...
BTW, Jody's guitar is a (Steve) Klein in case anybody's wondering "What in the name of all that's holy is he playing???" (Most guitarists do btw.)

). It was years before he figured out he had the snare drum on the "wrong" side. Does this kind of version war exist in many other places?-TaoPhoenix (May 27, 2014, 01:29 PM)

On a slightly related note...I wanted to try the latest version of Sigil but found that it depends on Qt5 -- which appears to require a bit more work than I want to go through to install. The work-around? Run the Windows portable version of Sigil via Wine...-ewemoa (May 23, 2014, 07:55 AM)
Also, this:The IC [Intelligence Community] are some of the most surveilled humans in history. They know everything they do is gone over with a fine-toothed comb — by their peers, their bosses, their lawyers, other agencies, the president, and sometimes Congress. They live watched, and they don’t complain about it.
In all the calls for increased oversight, the basics of human nature gets neglected. You’re not going to teach the spooks this is wrong by doing it to them more.

Perhaps, but if the clowns in congress start getting fried by restaurant heat lamp level spotlights for some of their "perfectly innocent", "private" conversations ... The funding for the spook programs should start drying up rather quickly.
Internal oversight for the IC is less about toeing the line and more about pushing the envelop to see who find or create the stretchiest loophole without getting hung by it. It's nothing more than an orgy level CYA gangbang. Whose the pivot for this free-for-all..? We are!
We really just need a don't be that guy poster child to rally a grass roots movement behind to push these vermin out of their holes and into the sunlight where they can bloody well fry to death for all I care.-Stoic Joker (May 22, 2014, 11:21 PM)

Mmm, Edvard, how about a separate thread for that list of yours?-ewemoa (May 22, 2014, 07:08 AM)
To remaster Linux Cinnamon, which one of the above would anyone recommend?-bit (May 22, 2014, 02:24 PM)
Do I need to be working from a HD with Linux, or can I work from Win 7 32-bit?
Maybe Cheap should be in quotesThe Cult Pens site had one in the $1000's.

But seriously, I use fountain and ink pens for drawing and I'm on the lookout for a cartridge ink pen that allows different "nibs". Any ideas? Thanks.
