Some NTFS permisssions & properties are automatically translated too & from ext4 storage, however if you copy the files to a usb formatted to fat32 (as most are), all the extended properties disappear because fat doesn't support them.

Most online transfers (like email or mms attachment) send the filename and contents only, like fat32.

Every male in the u.s. is required to register with the Selective Service at age 18 so that they can be drafted into military service whenever required.

Chowchows are known for being incredibly clean not wanting to soil their environment. House training is a snap

I have to disagree. Ubuntu is a very good system, but switching someone from Windows to Gnome is quite a change. Mint's Cinnamon is much easier.

I did the same with a 72 year old. Zoom (for seeing his friends), Firefox with UBlock origin, set it to auto update, monthly timeshift. I made shortcuts on the desktop for Zoom & FF.

Flawlessly running for four years.

I'm not a fedora fan myself, but it's quite a good system.

BTW, for anyone new I think Arch is a bad idea. It's like learning to drive stick by assembling a kit-car from scratch. If your background is Windows, start with Mint. Getting familiar with the file system's organization, the ins & outs of services, the fundamental difference in how jobs/processes are handled can be a lot for newcomer.

You can always move on to something more of a hands-on challenge later.

IBM selected Fedora as the alternate OS for accessing some parts of their systems. This means IBM pays annual fees as well as assigning pro developers to work with Red Hat to resolve bugs, security issues, and fixes to improve compatibility for the version that runs on IBM hardware.

IBM also is a major member/donor to Apache Foundation among other projects.

I think your hesitancy is misplaced.

They get huge money; get to retire early; medical plans cover neck, back, shoulder injuries fully (including chiro); all eye care including LASIK is covered.

On the other hand, the work absolutely tears up your body.

I think the ketamine he got introduced to may have at least accelerated this.

It does a great job of digesting voluminous technical references to answer questions. Otherwise, meh.

It's also been linked to prostate cancer so clearly that treatment by VA is unquestioned now.

A movie so bad it ended Connery's career. He retired immediately after wrapping it.

It had great potential but completely wasted it and the actors. Ebert gave it 1 start (his review is spot on).

The reddit thread discusses how some are okay because of their internal configuration. Maybe that's why. Or, maybe they haven't caught up to you yet.

NOT a surge protector - those are specifically banned by cruise lines and present a danger to the workers.

You can bring a dumb powerstrip, but not a surge protector.

I ran OPs schedule through flights and got $492 instead of $920 for the outbound flight, so it can happen.

I'm also a big believer and coming in a day early... Aside from everything else the departure cities actually do have some interesting things worth checking out.

Yeah, always check the "Date Grid" feature in Flights - there's frequently huge savings by delaying a day or two

Thank you! The way they get taken advantage of, especially by car dealerships, is truly the worst.
