While in the uni, a friend was part of the bio-electronics group, they had a super-fast printer, connected to a 286 running OS/2 2.1 acting as a print server for the whole group. You made me remember. Fun times.

Lesxmark was the Spinoff of IBM's PERIPHERAL's business, and included amazing things like the M2 buckling spring keyboards. Then they specialized in printers. Having said that, their printer's division was small an scrapy in comparison with Canon, epson and HP

They stoped selling inkjets in 2012... It seems they live in your head rent free.

Xerox mostly operates in Enterprise printing now, and believe you me, campanies still print a lot. Lexmark operates both in consumer and entreprise printing, so a bunch of new customers for xerox.

The newly joined company will probably be able to do a best of breed product roadmap in HW and SW going forward.

Also, I do not know, and I am to lazy to ask, but there may be geography complimentarities (i.e. markets were Xerox is tronger but lexmark was weaker and Vice versa), that would allow a best of breed approach in each.*

Finally, economies of scale with suppliers kick in, and personnel may be made redundant, saving costs.

* An example I remeber vividly was the DEC-Compaq and Latter compaq-HP merger. For some reason, the DEC guys in colombia survived both, while the dec and compaq guys in Venezuela were Decimated. Seems like DEC was the stronger of the three in the colombian market, both in Servers and in User PCs. Those guys were hungry for sales.

Or was it Alamo Drafthouse? Anywho, my point stands.

You will get the same 25~30 minutes of pre-roll ads, but at least you can have propper food and have a draft beer in a "restaurant type area" outside the projection area while you wait.

The thing to understand is we're talking about sixth tenths of a degree warming since 1990, when averaged over *the entire globe* for the *entire year*. If the change were actually distributed that way -- evenly everywhere over the whole year -- nobody would notice any change whatsoever; there would be no natural system disruption. The temperature rise would be nearly impossible to detect against the natural background variation.

That's the thinking of people who point out that the weather outside their doors is unusually cool despite global warming. And if that was what climate change models actually predicted, they'd be right. But that's not what the models predict. They predict a patchwork of some places experiencing unusual heat while others experience unusual coolness, a patchwork that is constantly shifting over time. Only when you do the massive statistical work of averaging *everywhere, all the time* out over the course of the year does it manifest unambiguously as "warming".

In the short term -- over the course of the coming decade for example, -- it's less misleading to think of the troposphere becoming more *energetic*. When you consider six tenths of a degree increase across the roughly 10^18 kg of the troposphere, that is as vast, almost unthinkable amount of energy increase. Note that this also accompanied by a *cooling* of the stratosphere. Together these produce a a series of extreme weather events, both extreme heat *and* extreme cold, that aggregated into an average increase that's meaningless as a predictor of what any location experiences at any point in time.

'Nuff' said

but anything that brings the USoA more in line with the frequency usage in the rest of the world is welcome. You guys go at your own beat, and drag canada, mexico and a fe2w other allies with you, while the rest of the world heeds standars...

Now going back to my channel 13 40Mhz wifi (with higher 5Ghz 120Mhz channel too)

I wander what JobGet will do with my data, and all the data they have...

Come on guys, seize the moment! is your time to shine! :-D /s

Fedora's raison d'etre (sorry for the lack of accents), is to be a testing ground of the future evolution of RHEL, I believe that, by the time RHEL11 lands, the RHEL ecosystem will not need 32bit libraries or executables for that matter.

So, better not waste the scant resources RH destines to Fedora in making 32 bit happen. Instead, lobby Valve to move the steam client from 32 to 64Bits.

JM2C YMMV

Bazzite based on Fedora:

Take inspiration from linux mint. Mint is based of Ubuntu, but they also have a Linux Mint Debian Edition for the sole purpose of validating that, if needed be because ubuntu does something they do not agree with, they can move to debian and keep operating.

Maybe is time to do the same. Rebase the project on another distro. Not necesarily Debian, but something more tenable for your purposes.

After all, the steam client on Mac is 64 Bit, and porting from BSD-ish to Linux should be relatively easy, dobly so because the Steam client is based on chromium which has both 32 and 64 bit clients.

Granted, Valve took their Sweeeeet time moving the Mac Client from 32 to 64 bits, but hey, it was doable....

Original poster here. I downloaded the Cathedran and the baazar over 14K dialup, and read it in full in the mid '90s. But I agree that mozilla calling the long term support version ESR leads to some lame jokes.
