Guess I'm on a roll. What about the phrase 'A well regulated militia'? I don't get confusion. Arms of the militia were in the actual arms of the people, not in the corner armory.

Many people these days interpret that as the right for militia's to keep arms in the corner armory shall not be infringed.

About as disingenuous as claiming the issue is mental health after reversing the regulation to add people on govt assistance for mental health issues to the background database.

My general view is supporting the 2nd amendment but logic needs to be injected into US gun laws and discussion thereof. There are examples on both sides but the one that's currently on my mind is the seemingly contradictory actions of stopping legislation to prevent people receiving govt assistance for mental health from owing firearms while also claiming the main issue is that the mentally ill can get guns. I'm scratching my head trying to resolve that.

Wanted to let you know that I upgraded to gpodder 3.10 and now the dates are correct. So maybe it was something wrong with how gpodder was processing that field.

Has anyone else noticed this wire clamp tool seems to be the new mousetrap?

Not that this isn't the least important topic in the world, but I liked Fergie's rendition of the Star Spangled banner.

The question I have for those who don't think the robots are going to take our jobs :) is, "In the past we always knew that the thing was that was replacing the old thing that we didn't need to make any more. And we knew we'd need to make as many or more of the new thing as the old. But this time around the new thing is the thing that will make the new thing. So what will we be doing?"

For what it's worth gwo still shows the wrong date but the cnc feed shows the right date. This is in gpodder. Again ogg feed.

@clacke
I doubt there's much difference between eating one animal verses another.

@klaatu
gwo ogg feed. using gpodder.

Bleeping Idiots?

@klaatu
For some reason gwo shows a date of 01/01/1970 in my catcher. I sort by date so I was missing them.

@klaatu
Lore is not really my thing but you're on my list of must listens so I'm checking out CNC. It's not out the realm of possibility you'll have me shopping for dice.

Don't know how you can sleep nights.

Hardware sales is surely key but I think software is too. Things running on linux lowers the barrier to entry for competing 'glue' software.

I bet it's complex support and pricing model figures into the reason they have different OSes.

Makes me wonder, "Why does Google have so many OSes?"

@clacke
Now that I've read that, I did know, but didn't know I knew :)

@clacke @hntooter
I'm not an expert on 3 of the 4, but they seem to be very different from the little I've seen. Actually, I didn't think they all ran on the same HW. Do they?

@clacke @hntooter
I let that soak in for a bit and then said, "But we've been talking about linux running on mainframe hardware. So that can't be the reason."

In my opinion it's might be as simple as money. Not only for the mainframe hardware but for all of the software that bridges between the mainframe and other platforms. If those other platforms go away, people needs less bridge/glue software.

@clacke @hntooter
I don't know exactly. Historical reasons for sure. I suppose they have paying customers enough to support them. In a recent talk with folks from IBM I asked about the plans to port some of their cash cows(my opinion) to linux so we can do away with some of those legacy OSs. I was told in no uncertain terms they would not be porting them. When I asked, "Why?" I was told they needed the special hardware for performance reasons.
