Either Slackware or Red Hat Linux 5, can't remember. I do remember that when I first installed RH5 I used "Hick" for my language.

A couple of weeks ago I moved Firefox to one side. Window disappeared, but Firefox was still running "somewhere" on my desktop, but was not actually be rendered to the screen. Killing the process and relaunching just resulted in it be rendered to this weird black hole. Log out of gnome and log back in? Same! Reboot? Same!

Ended up deleting it's config folder and re-attaching to Firefox sync in order to have it working again. No idea what went wrong, nor will I ever most likely.

That didn't end well last time though

No need for poisoning. Where he was -30°C is normal at this time of year. Not giving him a coat would have been enough to kill him

No, going overnight from running at a massive loss to "time to make loads of cash" is what ruins everything.

I've had beetles on the forehead while road cycling. Even at 40km/h that seriously hurts. Wouldn't want it to happen at 100!

Shame, one of my favourite workplace proximity associates is called Kyle.

Do they still do the free tier that gives 10 pages a month?

50% of 0 == 0 :)

Easy workaround: live in the countryside with no neighbours.

Yeah, for a living room TV the only option is either "digital signage" or no network.

I'll just stick to not connecting my TV to the network.

Will he cancel it though? Or will "Trump Trains" become a thing?

The US invented neither trains nor cars.

It is true the US was basically built on railroads, so I agree that it should have an awesome network, but it is just too big. Even if France ships you all a bunch of TGVs it will take days to go from NYC to LA. Something that takes hours by plane.
