Comment Re:Milkdrop (Score 1) 38

There was a visualizer called R2 back in the day that blew the doors off all the half-baked visualizers including Milkdrop, G-Force, Whitecap and all the other just low effort wiggly line art visualizers that came during the rise of iTunes and the sunset of Winamp. Nothing since R2/R4 ever matched it or anyone bothered to make a new one or update it.

Comment Does this change the moon origin theory again? (Score 1) 36

Last I remember the theory was a proto-Earth collided with a proto-planet and two iron cores merged into Earth while the ejected mantle material coalesced into the moon, which (so far) was explained by the Apollo mission's lack of finding volatiles on the moon hence they were burned away in the collision.

An iron-like core of the moon seems to be different then?

Clearly you didn't read the article. I'll share with you quote from it:

"As New America’s Kevin Carey has noted, the demographic cliff risks accelerating the “geographic consolidation that is already upending American politics” as college-educated Democrats congregate in cities and coastal areas in which campuses will thrive — while people in rural towns, less likely to have degrees, might bear the brunt of closures."

Comment Slackware was my first Linux (Score 1) 66

Trying to get Slackware to boot on a turnkey PC server that had arrived with a cracked SCSI drive controller was my very first foray into Linux. (After 12 hours of futile efforts me and my coworker could not)

I was an OS/2 kid at the time and knew next to nothing about Unix. Thanks to Linux now I do.
