Now it only lacks the blackjack.

ConstantPain ,

Even less contrast...

ConstantPain ,

The image is implying it's 95% written in Assembly and that's why it finished so fast.

Presumably, the person who volunteered knew all the risks and implications, so you can shit all you want on their decisions but that's how trials work. There's no promises of you coming out with a functional product.

ConstantPain ,

Dude was not a consumer, it was a volunteer, a big difference. And, as far as I know, they follow the required protocols for these types of trials. Everything else is speculation.

Here in São Paulo, services and goods can only be hauled at night, so I guess the argument doesn't stand in its legs if you think about it a bit.

ConstantPain ,

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Shelley’s Poetry and Prose (1977)

And it's not going to work because the Command Prompt was not opened as Administrator.

ConstantPain ,

Gocker and Dit.

ConstantPain ,

None.

I have had an issue for years that I couldn't pinpoint to a root cause (I'm strongly inclined to think it's a kernel issue). I bought a CM Storm Quickfire TK keyboard with ABNT2 layout.

The issue is: every time I try to type any key that is not a letter or number one, the computer freezes for a full ten seconds before acknowledge the press and showing the character. Tried a bunch of Linux distros through the years and the issue persists. On Windows it works flawlessly.

Just give up trying to debug the problem, but I still have this hole in my heart where the cause of this issue lives.

ConstantPain ,

Why does it work in Windows though?

ConstantPain ,

Yeah, thought it was a good movie. I even rewatched it a couple of times.

ConstantPain ,

That's how names work in some asian countries. Family name takes precedence.

ConstantPain ,

It's a vicious circle. Linux has no representation on the desktop because it lacks support from commonly used desktop apps. And lack support from those apps because it has no representation.

Windows have to screw really hard to push common folks to switch AND Linux must come pre-installed on cheap desktops to appease young people that are entering the ecosystem now.

Here in Brazil, EULAs (they are called adhesion contracts here) can only deal with the way service is provided and cannot limit consumer rights in any way. Even if the contract has these types of clauses, they are considered void by default.

These types of things never fly here.

ConstantPain ,

OS are tools, you use what fits your workflow better.

ConstantPain ,

Not knowing it was impossible, he got there and did it!

ConstantPain ,

Your path syntax is wrong tho...

ConstantPain ,

It is not a sustainable business model because when it becomes paid people will realize they don't need them.

ConstantPain ,

Let them fight!

ConstantPain ,

That's too specific to justify the engineering effort.

ConstantPain ,

The ability to kiss boys does not make you gay.

ConstantPain ,

Shopping Maul

ConstantPain ,

Even when it works, it's still not ice cream.
