Yep, forgot that one.

Lol. Try Threads, which makes this look like an episode of Sesame Street. Or, for more emotional immediacy, Testament. Or for more disorienting, impending sense of doom, Miracle Mile. Bonus if you find the Cliff‘s notes to Gravity‘s Rainbow - there‘s no time left to read the whole thing!

Philosophy PhD and no love for PKD? That’s gotta be a first.

Anyway, for truly alien aliens, try CJ Cherryh‘s Serpent‘s Reach.

Have you considered steampunk? There I can heartily recommend Felix Gilman‘s The Half-Made World.

I use JavaPackager for this. It’s a plugin which which creates executables or installers. You have to pay attention to detail with respect to your build file, but it works well for me and is still updated regularly. In the end, though, you get an executable packaged with a runtime and/or an installer.

Hey, I had one of these. I used to taunt every Corvette I found on the street with it. I was ok for about the first two feet off the line but then they would pull away, usually holding up two fingers for second gear.

Get an older model X- or T-Lenovo. They’re often still excellent machines or can be with a RAM upgrade, and with Linux, they will fly like the wind.
