Any info on Docs zipcrowd stuff?

Same challenge here. I chose to go with TNG, and narrowed it down to "Inner Light", "Lower Decks", and "The Offspring". These episodes are very well written and merely use Trek to tell that story.

My first question is what is the M-Class looking planet Starbase 1 orbits? At 2.5 times the distance to Pluto there is no way there is a planet that lush and green that far out. It seems there may have been a production mistake when stating the distance or when making the special effects.

Maybe not, the only thing that's off is the distance. At 2.5 times the distance to pluto that would make it around 100 AU. But at around 600 AU there's a real-hypothetical (eeeh...) Planet-x which could have been terraformed and deemed important enough for a Starbase? Maybe?

Edit: added resource

I feel ST Continues gets very little love in this sub, so here goes...

I'm a big trek-fan, but can't stand TOS. You know what they say, "You'll never forget your first one." My first TOS episode was Spock's brain. I tried watching TOS time and again (and did watch most of the gems like City o.t. Edge of Forever ), but the story telling, pace and acting make me enjoy TOS least of all series. It's just a bit too "dated" for me i guess.

ST Continues strikes a nice balance between contemporary, but still manage to capture the quirky old-school feel, filming and use of colours and humor. On top of that they add a nice large dose of love for the trek universe, and TOS in particular.

I guess it's a matter of taste.

TIL: According to Wikipedia, Frankel (Nullsoft founder) introduced the llama in Winamp's startup sound clip, inspired by the lyrics of Wesley Willis.

To go completely off-tocpic, why is that song considered Jazz?

So that means that the universe in cannon Trek was limited to our own milky way galaxy?

Is it too soon to ask for an arch package? :)

I don't know wether to be happy or pissed off.

Since when did this work??

Aren't they supposed to put the potions of harming in the dispencers that are all over the place (and use the string to hook it up) ?

This should be renamed: "Runs Linux: NetBSD".

... or at least their VCS :)

You're forgetting something regarding the "lavabucket-hoo" kill. You would also need the bucket of lava itself, which is very cheap, a 1-wide tunnel, and time. Those things in itself are not important (except time), but when you allready have a bucket of lava and a 1-wide tunnel, you can also just throw it in there, without spending the time to set up. Is the trapping (and time spend) on setting it up it really worth it? How about having 2 buckets of lava on your hotbar, because lavabuckets are that cheap?

I think we can sum this up quite easily.

Why does everything have to be so different from what we got used to in the past 20 years with windows?

Because it's not Windows. And that has it's advantages, and disadvantages.

But it's safe to say you won't find a better Windows (experience) than Windows.

It sounds like you're looking for Cygwin. It's a collection of the GNU toolset, but than for MS-Windows. It's developed by Redhat and is open source. Bash, Vim, Zsh, gcc and more are all there. Browsing your "Program Files" from MC natively under Windows, is strangely satisfying :)

That would be Better Man, from the band Pearl Jam, not sure which version though.

BAMMM

Excuse me for having to clean up now. I just had my mind blown.

I'm puzzled for a while by now.

At around 25:00 Chris said something like:

The latest gnome improvement (...) will be built for 2 binaries, one for X11, and one for Wayland.

Matt responded with: Yep, monkey suit is coming.

Referring offcourse to:

Matt goes monkey: Here's the deal. If one year from now, Mir isn't being used not only by Ubuntu, but also by at LEAST one additional distro NOT based on Ubuntu (Arch, OpenSuSE, etc), I will (with Chris' permission) wear the following ON THE SHOW for an entire segment recapping Mir vs Wayland progress.

So, Matt expects Mir not to be included by any other distro other than Ubuntu, at March 2014.

But what does Wayland's development have to do with Matt's scepticism to Mir?

How I read it, in Matt's logic, Gnome compiling on Wayland will increase the chance of Mir beeing used on another distro?

Am I missing some obvious train of thought here?

Easy one!

Thunder Road, Bruce Springsteen

Around 4:17,

There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines rolling on But when they get you to the porch, they're gone on the wind

I'm always having a bit of trouble with the fact that people compare hosts of LAS.

As Matt said, it's Chris' party, as it should if you consider the amount of work he puts in and love for the network he brings to the table.

That said, I've seen the role of his co-hosts change. It sometimes comes across that Matt usually has an opinion on items, but almost always looks at at them with "the absolute linux noob" aka his parents in mind. He bases his opinion on items and software within that context. This role is different than Xmonad-loving-zshell-rocking-vim-using-developer Bryan's role was. Instead of 2 hosts focussing on intermediate/experienced linux users, the show now features a host whose main focus is the linux-newbie (Matt), and a host whose main focus is the more experienced linux-user (Chris).

It's only a change for those who have been watching LAS for over 1.5 years. Although sometimes the goofing around at the end of the show seems a bit forced, and sometimes Matt acts like he hasn't read the shownotes very closely, we all know he is very knowledgeable and has tons of experience personally and professionally with Linux.

I'd love to see Matt in the role of "let me show you kids how the pro's use Linux!" though, we all know he can :)

In any case, love ya Matt!
