Overnight Open Thread (29 Jul 2016)
Science
Is this the science that Hillary believes in? Correcting some bizarre and incorrect assertions on global warming.THE STATEMENT: Bill Nye, the "Science Guy," claims that the Earth's climate is "changing 10,000 times faster than ever in history." THE PROBLEM: The Earth's climate has changed catastrophically and rapidly at varying points throughout its geologic history. No doubt, the widespread extinction event of 65 million years ago, caused by either a meteor impact or worldwide volcanic eruptions, altered the Earth's climate more rapidly and thoroughly than the minor warming seen over the past century. The 0.8 degree Celsius (1.44 F) rise in temperatures noted since the late 1800s is, by comparison, a very tiny blip in the overall geologic record. Some historical events to ponder when considering Nye's incredibly exaggerated claim. In 829 AD, the Nile River froze. But 300 years later, temperatures had risen so significantly (into what's called "The Medieval Warm Period") that the Vikings were able to colonize and farm a warm, temperate Greenland. At the same time, the British began to grow grapes and make wine. This warming is also documented in China's historical record. By the 1300s, however, global temperatures had dropped off rapidly, leading to what is now termed "The Little Ice Age," which lasted about 300 years. In a matter of decades, global climate swung profoundly - a much greater change, and in a shorter time span, than the 20th century warm period that Nye views as being so dramatic.Here's the problem with "science" today. We should not accept scientific results that have not been repeated. Bikini Cop
It turns out that there is a reason this happens, and it has been the subject of scientific research. iPhone earbud tangles are a function of the length of the wire and the amount of 'agitation' the wire is subjected to. When the two are plotted against each other - length versus agitation - the rate of knots and tangles obeys a statistical pattern that describes a curve.The Cone Of Shame

College campuses have increasingly become hard-Left monocultures. Now the University of Cincinnati is formally requiring new faculty and staff formerly declare their ideological purity in writing.

When I was in college, one of my idiot/savant colleagues cracked the code of Master Locks. From the serial number he could know the combination to unlock a lock. Master Lock sued his ass. When he had to go to court, and miss a mid-term exam, the Professor was NOT sympathetic. Nothing like being held up to ridicule for lack of ethics in an Upper-Division Computer Science class.

I have a 13 year old cat who has a chronic disease...feline stomatitis. Basically, her immune system is rejecting her teeth. It causes incredible inflammation and pain of her mouth and gums. Our options are to have her teeth pulled by a specialist for thousands of dollars, which we can't afford, or to do what we are doing, which is treat her with steroid injections periodically.
Currently, her steroid injections are lasting four weeks and that time frame is shrinking. I ask for prayers to know when the proper time to end her suffering is.

DG, it is an age old conundrum. I kept an Alsatian/Wolf hybrid alive for more than 20 years, were I am a better man I probably should have put him down a year before he died....his knees were gone and his energy was shot but he ate and such and euthanizing him would probably quite literally have killed a part of me he had been at my side since I was 2 1/2 years old.

S'ok RK. We've been dealing with this for over a year. Her injection time has been shrinking and shrinking. The last was four weeks ago, so we asked the vet to up her steroid dose, which he did by 50%.
She's a feral, so I know she's had a much better life than what was mapped for her. I just want her to end comfortably, not in pain due to my personal selfish ideas of how she should live.

Hell even if you make it past your JO tour and continue on your career, you generally are going to have to do a Department Head tour, and Fuck you if you have to be the Eng. That is the shittiest Job on the boat. And if you fuck it up it's all over for you. I wouldn't wish that shit on ANYONE. Fuckers never left the boat. We did a Resin discharge and as an ELT (chemical radcon guys) we had to go Port and Starboard Duty (Every other day) which just about fucking killed me. Eng was still there more.

For our beloved DangerGirl...
Might you find strength and knowledge through God. As complications
amass, your strength through Him will be needed for others who surround
you in their love for you.
You will know the time, as it is your beloved pet that seeks anything other than the pain and suffering that it endures.
You will know. Might God grant you the strength.
-Amen

I had a root canal done by a dental premed at Barnes, back as a starving student. Gum infection kept neutralizing the pain med, so after about 3 shots, the supervising dentist came over to see what was up & turned me into a teaching moment. : -))

This stage landed on the droneship on May 5 after launching a satellite to geosynchronous transfer orbit. It re-entered at high speed and suffered enough damage from atmospheric heating that it will not be reflown, but used for ground testing.
According to NASASpaceflight.com, a second full-duration test firing was conducted today! This is a major milestone towards actually reflying these stages on new missions.
Here's the webcast of this stage's flight on May 5. The landing begins about 27 minutes into the video.

We had our bomb (oxygen generator) break while underway during a JFTX (Joint Fleet Training Exercise). So we couldn't ventilate like we would have normally when it died (happened alot, A-Gangers who work on the bomb are borderline retarded). They had to burn Oxygen candles to keep us going and we spent quite a few days below what OSHA calls IDLH levels for Oxygen.
I remember lots of headaches and being hella drowsy when that happened, but not the kinds of things you read about WW2 submarine hypoxia.

Little groups of Paratroopers (LGOPS)
the Rule of LGOPs
After the demise of the best Airborne plan, a most terrifying effect occurs on the battlefield. This effect is known as the rule of the LGOPs. This is, in its purest form, small groups of pissed-off 19 year old American paratroopers. They are well trained. They are armed to the teeth and lack serious adult supervision. They collectively remember the Commander's intent as "March to the sound of the guns and kill anyone who is not dressed like you" - or something like that.

We drank lots and lots of coffee. Like it's a sad day when the Cow (milk dispenser) goes to fake milk. When/if the Coffee Runs out is when the Revolt starts.
I work Second Shift now, but I did nine years working Sunday-Thursday on Third shift. Sunday's were generally a 36 hour day. You are lucky if you can get a nap Sunday Afternoon. People always are like how do you do that? Even Do that on the Regular. That's shit's nothing. Let me tell you about back to back Drill days followed up with a Field Day and then another Drill day. Over a 4 day run like that you are lucky to get 8 hours cumulatively
Like I get how insane stuff like Medical shit and residency can get. Shit is just like that. People are adaptable as hell. Once you get used to it, you can cope with it fairly well. I mean that's what Bootcamp was generally all about. Learning to deal with sleep deprivation and following procedures. That's what the Navy needs you to be able to do. Work crazy fucking hours under stress and still stick to the fucking procedure.

Posted by: BCochran1981 - Credible Hulk at July 29, 2016 10:59 PM (89UPP)
Several years ago I signed a listing with a seller late friday afternoon. They called me Sunday wanting to cancel it because I didn't have an open house that Sunday. Never mind that it was impossible to advertise for the open house before it went into the multiple listing service, and never mind that the deadline for getting it into the Sunday paper had passed, I didn't have an open house that Sunday.
BTW, open houses don't sell houses. Open houses are used by agents as a way of generating leads of people who may be interested in buying property, usually not the one on open house as most people on open house tours just want to see what the insides of some houses look like.

I reviewed it last week and said it was more like Rice-a-Roni soup than the stuff you make on the stove. It turned out that I used way too much water. I was used to the ramen cups where you fill it nearly to the top. The fill line on the Rice-a-Roni cup is much lower.
So I bought another one and tried it tonight and it is much better. It's still probably not as good as the kind you make on the stove, but it's passable, and easier.

This from the Guardian (that just had to buy-out 250+ employees to make-up for red ink--ha-ha!!!)
Dickens certainly experienced some bad winters in his childhood; 1816, when he was four, was called "the year without a summer" due to the eruption of Mount Tambora, and London ponds were icing over by September. The winters of 1819 and 1822 were severe, and in 1829 sections of the Thames were choked with ice after a hard freeze.
(I got Tambora confused with Krakatoa---apparently so did the Guardian in the brief article the above is taken from---but, you know, I looked for the real answer instead of just relying on my memory!)
Addendum: Actually, I'm finding some interesting stuff like the following too that's about a 1715 frost fair so I'm going to keep on looking.
A factor in all this was the old London Bridge, whose 19 narrow arches and their breakwaters slowed the stream down. The new bridge, which opened in 1831, had only five arches and helped bring the freezing of the Thames to an end. The last frost fair was in 1814.

Midwatch on a Sat/Sun (watch dogged plus a time zone change), into Navigation then Sea and Anchor, then straight to the Quarterdeck for 3.5 hours of POOW at which time the Commodore decided he didn't like the anchorage, back to SA and Nav to move to the other side of the island. By the time we got there, I was back up on the inport watch bill as POOW again for another four hours on the QD. Then did the watch and duty section turnover and went on liberty.

The Thames freezes over
Severe temperatures between the mid-14th century to the 19th century saw the River Thames freeze over at least 23 times during the period known as "The Little Ice Age", with the last time being in 1814.
Traders seized on a rare marketing opportunity and frost fairs sprung up on the frozen river with stalls selling souvenirs and memorabilia.
However, it wasn't just cold temperatures to blame for the river becoming an ice rink. The old London Bridge had 19 arches and 20 piers supported by large breakwaters. When chunks of ice got stuck between them it slowed the flow of the river making it more likely to freeze. After the New London Bridge, which only had 5 arches, opened in 1831, the river never froze over again.

(I got Tambora confused with Krakatoa---apparently so did the Guardian in the brief article the above is taken from---but, you know, I looked for the real answer instead of just relying on my memory!)
Addendum: Actually, I'm finding some interesting stuff like the following too that's about a 1715 frost fair so I'm going to keep on looking.
A factor in all this was the old London Bridge, whose 19 narrow arches and their breakwaters slowed the stream down. The new bridge, which opened in 1831, had only five arches and helped bring the freezing of the Thames to an end. The last frost fair was in 1814.

If I'm reading WUWT correctly, volcanic events, aka spurious aerosols, don't affect the 'global' temps for more than a couple of years. The 1810's cooling event seems to have some other additional phenomena involved.
The problem all climate scientists, pro or skeptic, have is that those mini-ice ages are inexplicable under the currently understood mechanisms, if I'm reading the blog filtered content correctly.

Unlicensed gambling, drinking and dancing was the order of the day for those brave enough to venture on to the ice. A sheep was roasted on the ice with the public charged to look at it, and charged again for a slice of "Lapland mutton". At one point an elephant was led across the ice at Blackfriars.
The ice was however, not very stable. Boatmen deprived of an income charged visitors a penny to cross planks to get on to the ice. They were on hand to rescue two women who fell through, although a plumber carrying lead was not so lucky.
How ironic. A plumber being killed by an ice crack.

Sadly, Montana is turning into Butte not Butte into Montana...
in our travels in the state when we check into a hotel the other localities do tend to look down their nose and with a sense of bewilderment that Butte-heads would bother to leave Butte and have the money to stay in a 3 star hotel unless government employees, lawyers, or doctors.
Which is funny, since Montana Resources actually pays quite well.
The influx of locusts from Mexifornia is altering the fabric of the state and pisses off native MT Donks as much as the GOP parts of the state.
"Welcome to Montana leave it be." is a popular bumper sticker in every corner of this state....
Montanas refer to Missoula as "San Franzoula" now, and are starting to write off Bozeman.

Schools here do a "modified year-round" schedule.
School started this week. Kids will go for 9 weeks, get a two week break. Repeat this cycle a few more times, then they're out for 6 weeks starting the last week of May or first week of June.
You can always tell when the kids are in school, by the cops hanging around the crosswalks handing out tickets to anyone going over 15 MPH.

-Our plans are God's laughter.
I'll ask of Him that your blessed step-Mother find her peace. Within that peace, I ask for yours to be serene, as well.
Find you not glory in what you have built. Find your peace amongst His will.
Love, Peace and His Glory be upon you.
-In Jesus' Name, I pray.

Ours has always been September after Labour Day (although maybe it was a week or two into September when I was a grade-schooler/high-schooler and is now, say, the Tuesday after the holiday).
I can't recall when the summer holiday starts now (I think that's changed a bit since I was young) but I think it was early-June when we used to get out of school because our Monday-closest-to-May-23rd Victoria Day holiday I'm pretty sure did occur during the school year.
I vaguely recall grade schools went longer into June than the high schools (so high-schoolers would have more summer-job time?) although that might have been the high-schoolers only going in for scheduled exams at the end of the year and not putting in full days so it might have seemed that it was more time off for them.

Only part of what is massively wrong with Win10 is in the software -- much is in the license agreement and related documents. Essentially, Microsoft gets to keylog you and use your Intellectual Property for anything they damned-well please, forever. So if you're inventing something new that's as useful as a laser, chances are you'll discover Microsoft already patented it when you get to the patent office.
I read a variety of this stuff months ago and said, "well, this isn't for me!" -- but Maet wanted some citations and I volunteered to look some up. Then, reality struck and I got all scrambled.

My late Dad was a submariner. Fleet boats, Guppy Class, the first Fast Attacks and finally onto the John Quincy Adams (Gold Crew), his last sea-berth.
Heart attack while ashore at Pearl Harbor put him ashore, till the Navy saw fit to retire him about four years later, from an instructor's billet on shore duty. Just under 24 years of active duty, in all.
He went through one of Rickover's earlier classes in Idaho Falls, ID, 'bout 61 or so, then on to Vallejo to become a Plank Owner with the Commissioning Crew of the USS Scamp.
I could put this in the book thread, but it's germane here and now.
"Silent Warriors", by Sontag. Somehow, a raging leftie wrote a damn good book, about the spying and snooping work done by the Submarine Service in the hard years of the Cold War.
Don't doubt for a minute either, that this stuff still isn't going on today, either.
And aside, not only are all of the hardships as described in the article and in this thread, true, but there's one other thing that blew apart more submariner's marriages than even the affairs and loneliness of the crews and their wives.
It's that the submariners were prohibited from discussing that which they'd done, even with their wives. ESPECIALLY with their wives.
They could bitch about standing port n' starboard watches, till the cows came home.
But not about being chased about the approaches to Vladivostok by a Soviet Cruiser or such. Nary a word.
I found the periscope photo of that cruiser, with the date, time, lat & long noted, along with circumstances of the events, hidden deep within other papers in my Dad's effects. Probably the only security breach of his career, but I can see why he kept it, too.
My late Mom and step mom, neither had ever mentioned that pic, and my step mom didn't recognize it or realize it's significance. Guess he left it in there for me to find, trusting that I'd figure it out. And, I did.
Whole bunch of us here in Teh Horde are blessed to have actual heroes in our family lines.

Just go Linux and get it over with. Microsoft's been stealing from UNIX since MSDOS 2.0 [but not in a lawsuit way, because the slash leans the other direction....], and Steve Jobs' little foray into NeXT moved him permanently into UNIX-based OSs -- all the Mac OSs are more Linux than anything else.....including the notion of gated repositories.
I'm leaving Windows with Win7 (actually Win8 because I got hit with bait-and-switch and decided to just use the damned box because I had tax returns to file). I've got licenses I'll be running on virtual hardware and when they go out-of-support, the virtual hardware will go off the internet.

Humble interruption, but the short answer is that there is a learning curve to any flavor of Linux.
Mints the current flavor of the month, but there still are installation, driver, resolution things that stops the new user in their proverbial tracks.
There's a lot of websearching involved in getting any flavor to sit right with any given windows user.
It's not a smooth learning curve. But it's not an impossible one either.
The reward may seem slim, but being free of those OS strings is a reward that has to be balanced against future problems, i guess.

I installed Mint last year, and seriously, the only was me, over-thinking it. I had bought a $39 HP printer at Wally World, and went searching on the Web for a Linux driver to run it. Much grief was had. Silly me. The required driver was native to the Mint install, and ran perfectly. Totally plug and play. I have never had a Windows install go any smoother, and none faster than that.

You mentioned this last night, Cooth... Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Tails...
How to choose, and more importantly - how do I do it and maintain it?! I
successfully installed Ubuntu on an old desktop I rarely use - dual
boot with XP, no less! It all seems beyond my abilities, my whole life's
experience has been with Microsoft since MS-DOS!
Posted by: Zettai Ryoiki at July 30, 2016 01:13 AM (kP16F)
The first part of choosing is understanding how they all fit together. Linux was originally UNIX (owned by AT+T at the time) recoded by Linus Torvalds to owe nothing to nobody. Based on the Linux kernel, there are a wide variety of "distros" that include a kernel and application suites.
At distrowatch (a nice resource), there is a file that shows the Linux family tree -- https://distrowatch.com /dwres.php?resource=family-tree .
Using this, you can find that Mint is an offshoot of Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is an offshoot of Debian. Tails is an oddball offshoot of Debian designed to be difficult to trace. Mint is also the #1 most popular distro at distrowatch and is described as "... an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a
more complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins,
media codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. It
also adds a custom desktop and menus, several unique configuration
tools, and a web-based package installation interface. Linux Mint is
compatible with Ubuntu software repositories."
There is a thriving user community to help you maintain it -- but I'd start by installing "gufw" and locking that down [before you open a browser] -- then installing ad-block, noscript, privacy badger, and https everywhere before you browse a website.
At that point, you are probably more secure than the average Windows user.
As an anecdote about that "more complete out-of-the-box experience" -- I shut down all the computers on our network, including the fiancees', when I discovered my problems. About two weeks later, I put her on Linux Mint and said, "use this while I sort things out." That was in June of 2015 -- she's complained more about the irrigation system since.

Yeah, Mint 17 was so good, and Win8 was so jarring, that Mint is totally prepared to eat Microsoft's lunch.
As a side note, Clem personally answered a question I had (regarding https for apt-get). What's more, he gave me one answer "we don't need it" and responded to my follow-up question by openly demonstrating why he was confident they didn't need it (since then, several distros appear to have needed it). They deserve to be as popular as they are.

So, last couple-three wells, they asked me to run the old XP version of the logging software, because it supports Chromatograph tracks, which they never got around to adding to the Win7 version, and their programmer got laid off. So, I was able to do it. Biggest issue is keeping e-mails current in Win7 version of Thunderbird, when I run XP for a week or so. Work-around is to forward all received e-mails to myself prior to shutting down XP (at least those of lasting interest).

Microsoft is in a box. They have to maintain a proprietary OS to keep "special hooks" in it; they have to sell-out the privacy and data of their OS customers to keep the OS price low; they have to keep their OS price low to keep their installed base high; they have to keep their installed base high for people to demand their crappy software; they have to have their crappy software use "special hooks" in the OS to have nice features....
There is nothing you can do in Word that you can't do in Libre Office....it's just in a different place; there's nothing you can do in Excel that you can't do in Libre Calc....it's just in a different place; there's nothing you can do in Adobe Photoshop that you can't do in GIMP.....it's just in a different place.

There is a database of vulnerabilities -- see https://nvd.nist.gov/ -- but let me cut to the chase. If a vulnerability is found, it may be held secret until the system owner has a patch for currently supported systems. The vulnerability and the patch are then released simultaneously.
In other words, someone of evil intent gets full disclosure of the problem, can work on an attack based on it, then can start attacking (a) current systems that have not yet been upgraded, and (b) unsupported systems that will not be upgraded.

Really, Mint is at least as good as XP.....if 7,8, and 10 didn't thrill you, try Mint and avoid the Microsoft escalator.

There
is a database of vulnerabilities -- see https://nvd.nist.gov/ -- but
let me cut to the chase. If a vulnerability is found, it may be held
secret until the system owner has a patch for currently supported
systems. The vulnerability and the patch are then released
simultaneously.
In other words, someone of evil intent gets full
disclosure of the problem, can work on an attack based on it, then can
start attacking (a) current systems that have not yet been upgraded, and
(b) unsupported systems that will not be upgraded.

It's called "Uncle Sam's Misguided Children" but it's all about gun control. His thesis: It's not guns who kills people; it's not even other random people who kill people; it's his fellow blacks who are doing the killing (especially in Chicago, which is where he seems to be from), and he's sick to death of white liberals making excuses for the bad guys and thereby facilitating more misbehavior.
Warning: Frequent use of the "n-word," but since the guy is himself black, society deems that OK, so don't be afraid. Seven minutes of insane righteousness.

Except, after a while, the malware-mongers are going to give up on the older OS's because the new ones have a greater installed base. Who cares if Win 3.11 has vulnerabilities, because next to nobody still runs it?
And those of us who do run outdated systems probably aren't seen as much of a resource, because we are old farts who don't interact with many of the Web-based vectors of infection, like Facebook.

I don't know anything about GIMP, but can it do these functions:
-- Adjust the extent of the feathering of the clone-stamp tool's "fuzzy brush"?
-- Customize the tonality range for what colors/hues are selected by the "Magic Wand" tool?
-- Rotate the image by any amount up to a 1/100th of a degree of precision?
-- Convert any image into a "stained glass window" effect with adjustable parameters?
-- Exchange files natively with Adobe Illustrator and Acrobat?
-- Have 3D editable/transformable layers on top of 2D layers?
I could go on and on. And I'm not really a Photoshop maven -- I just use it for work for a few specific tasks. But from just that fleeting familiarity I can see all sorts of insanely sophisticated capabilities that Photoshop has. Maybe GIMP has them too -- I wouldn't know. But I'd be surprised if it did. Many of them are patented by Adobe, so the GIMP makers would have to re-invent each breakthrough from scratch.

Dickens certainly experienced some bad winters in his childhood; 1816, when he was four, was called "the year without a summer" due to the eruption of Mount Tambora, and London ponds were icing over by September. The winters of 1819 and 1822 were severe, and in 1829 sections of the Thames were choked with ice after a hard freeze.
(I got Tambora confused with Krakatoa---apparently so did the Guardian in the brief article the above is taken from---but, you know, I looked for the real answer instead of just relying on my memory!)
Addendum: Actually, I'm finding some interesting stuff like the following too that's about a 1715 frost fair so I'm going to keep on looking.
A factor in all this was the old London Bridge, whose 19 narrow arches and their breakwaters slowed the stream down. The new bridge, which opened in 1831, had only five arches and helped bring the freezing of the Thames to an end. The last frost fair was in 1814.

Right now the Nevada state party and the Clark county party are controlled by those who support Trump... and are using their position to purge all descent, despite that fact that they are the same people who were happy to vote for Obama in 2012 due to the fact that they weren't in control.
I also know that Heck is building a machine separate from Sandoval that can stop the Leftist twerps. I also know that the only short term alternative are incompetent dips**ts that currently control the county and state central committees.

"Buy"? Whoa there, don't go overboard.
I purposely stick with a somewhat obsolete version of the Mac OS because with it I can run older versions of Photoshop (I use CS4) which are floating all over the Internet for free download, if you know where to look.
And even my massively out-of-date version of Photoshop (it's from 2008, and considered so obsolete that I don't think Adobe even cares any more if people upload it for downloading any more) is way way more advanced than even the right-now current version of GIMP, from what I can tell in the last ten minutes of comparing the two.
So, the free old Photoshop is still way more powerful than the free new GIMP.
As far as I can tell, the one thing GIMP has that Photoshop doesn't is the ability to run on Linux. Which, if you use Linux, is the only feature that matters, I imagine!
Adobe now only allows people to use the latest version of Photoshop is some bizarre "remote access" thingie whereby the actual computer processing is done on Adobe's servers, and you don't actually "own" the software -- you just rent it from them for the time you're using it. To me, that's insane, and I will keep using my antique Photoshop until they pry it from my dead mouse!

I live in the side of town often referred to as the "poor side" of town. That's not entirely untrue, but not entirely accurate either. I would refer to it as the "old side" of town. It's where the town was established, so there are lots of 100+, 200+ year old homes, as well as families who own homes that have been in their lineage for generations.
On this particular side of town, nearly every house has a front porch. Big, spacious front porches with rooms for swings and rockers. In fact, my own front porch is one of the rare ones that is only big enough for plants and somewhere for the newspaper to land. But, almost every house has a front porch.
Now, as you move toward the "new side" of town, porches start disappearing. Eventually, it gets to the point where there is almost no front porches at all. Maybe 1/50 has a front porch. Just a walkway, then a door.
So, clearly, it is a generational thing or something. What do you think it means? That as the times have gone on, people are more and more anti-social? People just don't want to be outside? I am naturally curious about psychological and sociological constructs, so this fascinates me.

It is an interesting thing. My grandparents in Indiana had both a front porch with chairs as well as a back patio (my grandparents in El Paso had a back porch, but for obvious reasons, did not use it during most seasons.)
I think this is purely just people not spending time outside because of a multitude of entertainment options. People might have cookouts out back or sit out back, but I am not sure attention spans are at a point where someone just sits out back every day and watch the leaves change.
Also, it probably has a lot to do with interconnection. My grandparents would sit on the front porch and wave at pretty much every car that went by. They knew pretty much every car, and would mention that they had not seen "that car" before.
Now, aside from maybe the people on either side of you, how well do people know the people that live on their street or subdivision?

Then came Radio and Telephone and then TV and finally the net. No need to actually see your neighbor to talk to them.
Hence the not needing a front porch any more.

Adobe now only allows people to use the latest version of Photoshop is some bizarre "remote access" thingie whereby the actual computer processing is done on Adobe's servers, and you don't actually "own" the software -- you just rent it from them for the time you're using it. To me, that's insane, and I will keep using my antique Photoshop until they pry it from my dead mouse!

Same here. Both at work and at home, I'm running an old version of Mac OS in order to be able to keep using the Adobe Creative Suite software I have.
All of the major software vendors (Adobe, Quark, Autocad, etc.) have gone to a subscription model. It used to be that you would buy the software package and install it on your own computer. Not any more. Now it's in the "cloud" and you have to pay a subscription fee in perpetuity in order to be able to keep using it.
I have no intention of upgrading the OS, because I'm certain that the newer versions will not be compatible with the Adobe software I have. Once my computer craps out, I will probably convert to Linux. I'm by no means a Photoshop expert, so GIMP will probably serve my needs in that area. But I don't know what the Linux analogues of InDesign and Illustrator are. I use those more than Photoshop.

Now, aside from maybe the people on either side of you, how well do people know the people that live on their street or subdivision?

Early Monday morning, the house five doors away from me burned down. I did not know the people who lived there. I assume nobody died, because I haven't seen a word about it in the local media.
Posted by: rickl at July 30, 2016 04:11 AM (sdi6R)
Why?
Because I dealt with a local individual rather than some Federal schmuck.
Doubt I'll have such luxury again...

Yup I am in Indiana. It's how we roll.
I love old houses, and I love front porches, so I like where I am.

Wow -- you and I are identical in this regard. I too have kept running Mac OS 10.6.8 for years and years, and will continue doing so until I literally have no other choice, for the sole exclusive reason that I need it to run my old versions of Photoshop and Illustrator, which I will never give up. And like you, I also use Illustrator more than Photoshop.
If my computer craps out, I'm just going to hunt around for another old computer running 10.6.8 -- that's how stubborn I am.
The main drawback to all this is that various aspects of the Internet only work with new browsers -- which are NOT backwards compatible with 10.6.8 -- so little by little the Internet is becoming inaccessible to me. So far, it's not that big a deal, but I can tell that eventually I'll only be able to access old-school ancient-style Web pages. Don't know what I'll do at that point.
But it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one refusing to give up my personally-owned Adobe Creative Suite, even if it means clinging to an obsolete OS!

I've already bumped up against this. Last year I bought the Collector's Edition of Bob Dylan's "The Cutting Edge" box set, which came with a download of high-resolution files. (Higher than CD? Apparently, although I don't know what kind of equipment I'd need to play them. And my ears are probably too worn out to tell the difference. But I digress.)
Anyway, it turned out that the "download manager" only works with a newer version of the Mac OS. My Mac Pro can hold up to four hard drives, so I'm thinking of buying a new HD and installing the latest OS on that. Then I could boot from either my current drive or that one. I think that's a way to handle the newer internet thingie.

http://www.berkeleyside.com/2016/07/29/after-19-months-elmwood-theatre-finally-changes-marquee/
A movie theater in Berkeley had to leave its marquee unchanged for 19 MONTHS because some state-level health inspector happened to be walking by one day and disapproved of the way an employee was changing the letters on the theater's marquee. The bureaucrat thought it was "too dangerous" for employees to change the letters, so filed a legal injunction preventing the theater from changing them until they came up with an acceptable "plan" for how the letters could be changed.
The solution that the state of California finally grudgingly agreed to after 19 months???
A ladder.
Kafkafornia strikes again!

The article said that the employee was standing "on a ledge" that was "seven feet off the ground," but I've been to that theater and there is no such ledge, so I have no idea what they're referring to.
Also, there was no indication that the ledge-standing was standard practice -- apparently one employee just did it once to restore one letter that had fallen off or something. But based on that, the theater was practically forced into bankruptcy because the busybody state bureaucrat who witnessed it wouldn't let the theater change any letters under any circumstances, so no one ever knew what the theater was showing!
And it wasn't the state of California who suggested the ladder -- it was the theater owner. It took the state 19 months to determine that a ladder was sufficiently safe for the task -- even though the theater had always been using a ladder previously up to that point in the first place. There was just 19 months of red tape and bureaucracy for the theater to get permission to do what it had always done.

It is always a bitter parting.
Perhaps I should binge on candies and berry preserves so my cat does not find me too bitter before people break down the door due to the smell.
