I don't pick up the phone if the number isn't in my list of phone numbers. If it is important the caller will leave a message.
Or not...
Some of us don't call that food...
I think it has some quite good ideas, I hope the folk from Gnome are checking it out.
Yes I am running the UI because I can, I'm in the EU.
That may be the case in the US, in the EU they are power assisted. If you don't pedal you don't move, that isn't motorised. I am so lazy I don't have a car and yes I do bring 50 kg loads back from the garden center in my bike trailer.
>10,000 km on my bikes in 4 years (I have a short but steep commute).
... of which you speak?
Both my pedelecs are deathly silent. You will hear tyre noise but all bikes make tyre noise on trails...
In the EU they are now required by law to make noise at low speed. I haven't heard a tesla yet but the Renault Zoe makes a nice low whirring noise in town.
I have a better life since I kicked my car habit, nowadays I ride an electric assist bicycle. In fact I have two, my second bike is a trike!
Caffeine is a nootropic
I was surprised to learn that 85% of Slashdot poll respondents don't consume any caffeine.
"Drinking a cup of coffee" isn't "taking", especially if you only drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and never during the day.
"Taking" conjures up images of absorbing supplements in other forms than consuming normal foodstuff from a cup or glass.
Last time it was shut down was last September when I moved house.
The SE/30 is on the top of the list of my favorite computers.
When I was in high school, just before being thrown out of math class, the teacher brought in a calculator. It was about the size of an electric typewriter and was programmable (!) by using punched cards. I don't remember the brand. My first contact with computers was the ZX Spectrum my sister in law sold. I became an Apple salesman in the late '80s and my home computer was an Atari 520Stf.
I am not brand loyal, I am function loyal - I always choose the best tool for the job at hand. Since about 1997 that has been a custom assembled Linux desktop running a Redhat variant (latest stable Fedora ATM). There was also a PowerMac G3 B&W in my life which was running MacOS as soon as it became available from the public beta on up to the latest version we could install.
Since the early 2000s my hardware has been a mini-itx board in a hush case (http://www.silentpcreview.com/article123-page1.html). IIRC I am at the third MB in that case. I have a 2013 nexus 7 tablet and another cheap android device that could be used as a phone, if I ever needed such a thing, but which also functions as a wi-fi tablet. I would love to have an iPad or iMac but can't justify the expense.
Wonderful computer with a good solid OS and GUI. I think I sold it for more than I paid for it and after I regretted selling it but times were hard...
A very amusing thing was that we all had bootleg Macintosh emulators and once the emulator was loaded it ran Macintosh applications faster than the Mac did! I started selling Macs soon after I bought the Atari and told my boss this so he had me bring it in and we ran side by side tests he couldn't believe his eyes.
He doesn't have one. A life I mean...
Sure, the SE30 was even more magical! That was the most awesome black and white Mac I ever owned, probably one of the fastest computers I have owned.
