Matt has a point. If we all limited ourselves to activities that are
pleasant from the very beginning, I doubt human civilisaton would have
ever occured. From personal experience even sex requires overcoming
some discomfort before reaching ecstasy and I understand it's a lot
worse for women, nevermind such things as whisky drinking or winning a
marathon.
Why do we expect our computer usage to require no sacrifices at all?
I have one that seems to require a burned chicken to get it to boot, but that's besides the point.
honestly, anyone played with omero? I did for a few minutes and should really try it again I think... I'm actually thinking I might load Plan B on my Plan 9 file/cpu/auth server and try to drawterm to it. (It should work right?)
