Many that weren’t based on x86 microcompters could do this: Tandem, I mean, Compaq, I mean HP NonStop machines, Sun Ultra Enterprise as you mentioned, IBM s390 and System-Z, several HPUX systems, I’m sure there’s others.

“Going to be”?
We’ve even had an “Evil must be opposed!” moment.
So, money is speech, is pollution speech too?
Coincidentally, that’s what using it is like, too. :)
This would be accurate if they ever cared about neonatal or prenatal health… They don’t.
Infant mortality being sky-high is completely fine. Mothers with no supports, nutrition, or health care? Fine. A baby can die in utero as a result of neglect and they’d say it was God’s will, or rather that it’s God’s will that they not pay taxes for health care.
There’s parking In Montreal?
I suppose that’s what potholes are for…
They are playing the same game they always have: use carrots like this to get voters to the polls, and hold off on those carrots until an election year.
The problem is that it doesn’t reliably work. Progressive voters just see three and half years of very little progress and six months of fearmongering and pandering, which causes as much or more apathy than it does engagement.
If you look at what the Right does, by comparison, it’s interesting. They throw red meat to their base on day one, and keep it up for the entire term. They know that they need to keep the base pumped and expecting results, which is a big reason why conservative voters turn out at much higher rates: they feel listened to.
He became the big climate change guy after he lost.
I’d also point out that he only looks like a big climate change guy now. Back in 2000, the right wing hadn’t gone all-in on climate denialism yet. You could easily find Reagan and Bush people who didn’t think it was controversial.
Gore ran to the left? The guy who picked Lieberman as his VP?
Young and charismatic might mean higher taxes for the rich and more progressive policies.
The Democratic leadership doesn’t want that. They really like the neoliberal consensus, they like having funding parity with the Republicans. They like being seen as “very serious people “ and they’re deathly afraid of being called socialists.
The problem is that their apparatchiks all came of age, politically, in the 1990s under that same neoliberal golden age. That’s not the world they’re in anymore. They aren’t running against Bush the Elder, and cutting taxes while playing jazz isn’t going to cut it when they’re losing working class votes to fascists.
We saw this play out horribly in the UK: where Labour’s party leaders would rather sabotage their own leader because he was too progressive then risk him winning and give socialism credibility.
The political left really liked the 1990s, but it’s a bygo era and it isn’t coming back.
In seriousness, this chart doesn’t reflect self-medication.
This is what neoliberalism ignoring the needs of anyone who isn’t a billionaire for couple of decades gets you.
Well, that and the political left selling out.
When you say that the keyboard works: do the brightnesss, mute and volume controls do what they’re supposed to do?
HP laptops–at least business-grade ones–are notorious for sending nonstandard scan codes and requiring custom drivers.
More like seventy five cents, given Google’s profit margins.
Sometimes, though, fascism really is fascism.
As a Marathon fan since 1994, the plans for the new Marathon make me sad.
I’m thinking of my Bard’s Tale C=64 saves which easily fit on a 160k floppy.
I mean, you could also have clothing that’s a) not made from plastic and b) lasts longer.
But you know, capitalism.
