What does RMS even do today? Complains about Amazon, and tries to shove his shitty software (HURD) down people's throats not even he himself is ready to use yet? What a clown.
>>46777938
You can't invent anything. He found the right combination of bits that made up linux and git.
>>46777947
It doesn't matter how you see it.
Without his work, we'd beall crying over how shitty the window's registry is, or even worse, we'd be all using macs.
>>46777947
Inventing is finding right combinations of things to create other things.
So /g/ if you had ~$2000 to spend on a laptop what would you buy? Im looking mainly for quality and perfomance, price isnt a real issue

Obligatory battlestation thread. it's that time, now that the old one is dying.
Just got my DAC in today, it's bigger than I thought. Waiting for my monitor mount, and headphone amp. Then some small touches and I think she'll be finished.
>>46779877
As always I like this one. Clean, organised and it looks like you have great cable management, although honestly the lighting makes it hard to see.
>>46779895
I normally do, but the cable management is trash right now, it's temporary.
I like it cozy ;)
"All the other ones are old and slow" edition.
Also, Fedora 21 vs Xubuntu 14.04?
>>46784913
I like everything except your rocketdock, those icons are super uggo and don't match anything
>>46784913
What do you mean xubuntu vs fedora
>>46784978
But, Anon I don't have rocketdock!
And my icons match my super cute rice!
>>46784996
Like which one is better.
Fedora with its GNOME desktop or Xubuntu with its XFCE desktop?

When they figure out how to protect delicate surveillance electronics from stomach acid.
>>46783470
That's not even a problem anymore, the colonoscopy camera in a pill seems to do it fine. The issues would be powering it and listening to conversations instead of mouth sounds and stomach noises.

If you were trying to access files on a proprietary file system with no existing drivers or extraction programs, where would you start? In particular, I'm trying to access the recorded TV programs my Scientific Atlanta DVR. I know this kind of thing is possible as a program called TwinRip existed about ten years ago which did exactly this, but doesn't appear to work on newer systems - or at least I haven't gotten it to work. That file system was called STAVFS (STMicroelectronics Audio-Visual File System)
Yes, yes, I know. "Use a capture card to record TV! SO MUCH EASIER!!11!1!" I have been doing so for well over a year, but that shit is time consuming.
Look for file headers and go from there. If it's encypted you're screwed
>>46777199
Do you think standard file recovery software (Easeus, Recuva, etc) would be effective? Do those sorts of programs have to know the file system, or do they just look for file headers?
>>46776954
hey faggot maybe google huh?
if you're extra retarded heres a hint
"scientific atlanta file system"
