The Death of Socrates
The Death of my Teacher.
Khaerete my devoted friends.
IN MEMORIAM
It is with great sorrow that I Plato, Socrates' oldest student, must officially announce his passing away this morning Jan.15, the year of Zoroaster -2009. He was accompanied to his new destination on mount Olympus by His devoted wife Xanthipe and His friends and students.
May Zeus bless His soul!
Philosophers may come and go but Linux and GNU will live forever.

You didn't know about this ??? Duuuude, you just missed one hell of a battle last Sunday: Romans vs. some barbarian tribe. I didn't really understand who is who, but I didn't care much, neither did the Romanskenetics wrote: Has Clem added time travel to Mint?
Can you check if your tachyon device is up?
Code: Select all
ls -al /dev/tach*
And make sure you get the flux compensator!
Code: Select all
apt-cache search flux
And then we need big-endian support or your bit order might get screwed up when you re-materialize:
Code: Select all
apt-cache search bitorder
BTW, you did install all the ancient Greek, Phoenician and Zarathustran/Persian TrueType fonts? Also add all the Cuneiform stuff. Latin fonts aren't getting you nowhere yet as the Romans did not yet rule the world back then.
Happy time travel!
Oh, and don't kill anyone of your forefathers or historically relevant persons ... this might cause a time paradoxon and POOOOOF! and either you cease to exist or you forget everything that just happened ...... In that case you'd just sit here and wonder confused you're reading this. If this happens you probably just survived a time paradoxon and a major kernel dump in your head ... But hey at least you still exist
As my favourite French philisopher Ren
Code: Select all
echo inquisition >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Damn! You were the one throwing those Linux installer CD's at Caesar and shouting "Romanize this!" ? "discus compactus maledictus versus nobis iactus est" ==> The damn CD came flying at me ... Some moron later mistranslated it as "Alea iacta est."AlsaPhil wrote:Was as far as Alesia and decided to come back...

My dear friends,
A strange thing happened after installing MintConfig
The computer time turned back to the year of -2009 ZTC (Zoroaster time).
It seems that Clem added a time- travel command by accident.
I am glad that you too had the opportunity to travel back in time,
courtesy of Linux Mint.
May Dias (Zeus) receive Socrates' soul with absolution and love.
Greetings to all fellow travelers.

Well, see what time travel is all about?
I really enjoyed the video. But I think, in memoriam to our dear and beloved Socrates, we should move to Random with a new topic, on the light side.
So, asta la vista at Random.

Their web site http://www.ydemos.com/ is a total rip-off of the old http://www.suse.com web site. They even didn't bother to change the pictures and the fonts, and some of the decoration. Now that's lameclem wrote:the main power in Ydemos
It is. It was made directly from the old SUSE's HTML and RSS code. I'd have to search the old mailing list for that, but as I remember this was explained to the people and everybody was happy with it (to be honest I don't think many people really understood what Linux was and who SUSE were).
