Well off the planet is a good start.

And these new things are seem seemless because the system

Winblows by contrast has the depth of leftist reason and
the flexability of a socialist utopian machine gunner setting up
40 paces from a fresh dug mass grave ditch.
and like winblows, equal use and benifit to you if your aim and desire
dont fit with theirs.
I don't agree with your political descriptions.
Windows I use if I have too.
Flexability is freedom, freedom gives birth to
creativity.
True or false dont matter ? you really would make a
good leftist
( called liberal today, even as the real liberal is the opposite of a
leftist, its George Orwells newspeak, todays liberals are not liberals
they are leftists, perhaps Marxocrat would be a good label )
I always got lost in political terms. True or False do matter but I
don't have all the information to say that is true or false or a ring
oscillator.
Gimp dont translate to a tty very well, but an xterm
is certainly the
bitmapped representation of the tty.
BUT I MAY NOT WANT a bit map when running under XWINDOWS!
I want a 80x25 screen (640x480) because I can read the screen for
text-editing!
No font's under X-windows (linux) would give me that! This is wrong, to do so would eliminate creativity.
How can that be? -- if only the scribes can read and write what hope
does the common farmer have to write something profound.
New protocols are invented every day, the usefull
ones end up
being adopted and the bad ones on the ashheap.
Software darwinism is a good thing.
On a 2 button mouse, you press both buttons to simulate
button 3, it works smoothly and perfectly well.
I like 3 buttons better.

1) Not everybody has the same standard fonts!
2) I like 1 screen 1 program and screen flipping.
This is wrong ... X11 does come with a full set of standard
fonts. and adding more is easy.
"Well the end user experience" is system agnostic except
for the winblows limitations that dumbs your system down
to the microset winblows can provide. unix has point and
click too, but it isnt implimented stupidly.
But the 3 button mouse is hard to find! > > You would make a good leftist, the asurdity
seems high enough.
Nah ... More a "Mother Earth News" type guy.
After 40 years
waiting for public space travel, my faith in NASA
is wearing thin.
Public space travel to where ? I also dream of the day when a colony on mars is in
full tilt of the 100
- 1000 year job of terraforming the place, complete with a planetary
mag field generator to fend off them nasty solar rays, but we are
still suffreing the leftist egalitarian poison that has raped the planet
of man potential. ( and left 200 million of its citizens in mass graves )
More like Greed and Capitalism and OVER population!
I never could get Mars terraformed in a 1000 years! Are you better with
SIM-EARTH
than me? BTW if my mars deed has any leagal value in the future I refuse
to have
my land terraformed YOUR way!
When the social enginners are no longer putting the
jackboots
of goverment on the necks of the acheavers in the name of
"social justice" and the envirowackos stand fully discredited
by the emissions data from the volcano Penetubo, perhaps then
we can get along back to the accent of man.
Darn where is BABLE fish when you need one!
