The basis of the article assumes in part that the 2026 election was not fraudulent

Given billion dollar cyber attacks, given ai we cannot control, and given embedded wireless we cannot see, why would anyone trust results using electronic voting machines ?

If we cant even get voter id passed in the usa, or physical mail ballot tracking, how could a verifiable system be put in place given the forces behind and benefitting from stolen elections that are now in power ?

But the tcl consoles allow you an escape from the cad tool vendor’s (usually marginal and restricted) ui, including the ability to call/invoke other shell scripts and programming languages. From this perspective, your required use of tcl is quite minimal, generally giving you full access to the power of the underlying unix with minimal tcl effort. Ive used this mechanism for my own gui extensions such as cross-probing and invoking other vendor simulations and checks - for me, quite useful

Many VLSI CAD tools come with a tcl console window. Im gratified to see the continued language support

Kudo’s to Mr Osterhout’s long lived legacy

i've used FreeBSD, and sometimes NetBSD and OpenBSD after they were forked from the Jolitz's 386BSD release.

I think that all 3 of the BSD's have matured into GREAT server operating systems.

My work environment has for many years used FreeBSD as file servers, both with UFS / and most recently with ZFS. excellent performance!

of minor related interest, at the Santa Clara California restaurant 'Empress of India', both the original NetBSD development team and some of the Linux folks (Linus particularly, who lived a couple of blocks away), would dine at that same restaurant in the 1980's and early 1990's... ...The NetBSD folks would sometimes wear a shirt with a BSD daemon 'buttf' the Linux penguin from behind...

Linux has also matured into an impressive OS. I personally think that the principle *BSD/GNU/Linux crews all deserve to share in a Nobel peace prize for their impact on the world... Much more positive impact on the world than that gates-crap DOS/DimDoze.

When i first read this story as a teenager in 1971 it started me on the road to atheism. Im very thankful to dr asimov not only for his great science fiction but his chemistry teachings as well

Cant set a port Cant delete a host (At least i cant). Ios iphone

I think its a fairly good idea - but for myself, i had already mapped csh’s default history character (!) to a comma (,) for the same reason - no shift key to invoke.

This sounds like the root of my vncviewer / server interaction bugs i experience with some vnc viewer/server combo’s between ubuntu linux and freebsd… (tight/tiger)

This doesnt pass the smell test. Washington post as the arbiter of truth?

Interesting (great!) read on the history of (fairly recent) astronomy. Ties in with physics
