Exactly! I have run this setup forever; for years and years in Xfce, these days in KDE. Recently I found a couple of screenshots, 1996 and 97, from my Windows days. I was surprised - and maybe slightly concerned - to see how precisely they

Very droll, but incorrect. Also, I believe the word you're looking for is purism . I'll certainly go along with that. Also also, out of curiosity, where did you dredge up the "he"?

For what it's worth, I am a bus driver these days; a real one, no metaphor involved. And I sufficently disliked and mistrusted Visual Basic that already in the mid nineties I instigated a complete ban on any vb**run.dll on all comput

A year or two ago, you couldn't go a day on HN without bumping into angsty premonitions of The Singularity. Now everyone is excitedly feeding this monster. Am I the last spooked person standing?

Thank you. Have been thinking this for ages, but just never get around there. This is the push. I really will go work on my Shakespeare, starting tonight.
