If you are in Germany (guessing by the nickname), there is very good and inexpensive yoghurt based on live Lact. Bulg. I buy about 10 tubs every week. It's not that sour like in Bulgaria, but very tasty anyway.

FWIW TeX has \parshape

Surprisingly then, why Doitsche Welle still exists without any lawsuit from abroad.

Yes, my kid was impressed about solving the problem just by describing it.

I try to introduce my boy (12) in programming trough Scratch but still no big success. However, we solved recently two math homework exercises with Prolog (logic) and MetaPost (geometry) which caused some effect, so I'm thinking to deepen in that languages or may be switch to Logo as intermediate lisp like solution.

yes, Bold Monday, sorry for the mistake

It's a licensed font from Blue Monday. No cyrillic, no greek, not to mention polytonic greek. And they took the true small caps out of the fonts ...

MISC FIXED forever!

Wow, at least they included a license this time. I desperately tried years ago to get the license for the fonts shipped with the Symphony Suite, but in vain. No files, no declaration in the fonts, no answer from the IBM support.

Capitalism and AI bashing also. This book will become a hit in Germany.

Fludd by himself had a large confrontation with Kepler, and by his anti-science position brought Kepler to state that he hates all Cabbalists.

I _really_ miss archie!

no idea, really. Apparently the film should be already out in the Russian cinemas. There is also a documentary from Roskosmos about the operation[1]. The beginning is boring, but then they claim, the Shuttle "Challenge" visited Saljut-7 as a preparation for taking the soviet station to the Earth. Still watching it, no subtitles (my Russian is rather intermediate). There is also a book from Victor Savinikh, the flight engineer called "diaries from a dead station"[2], but couldn't find any comments on that book.

A russian film is just made on this topic. Here a link with trailers on the page:

mailx is a phantastic tool for scripting and automatic processing of mails and mailboxes.

well, running heavy multiprocess pipes (netpbm, imagemagick, tesseract, TeX) in the background does not slow down the graphic apps, mainly emacs, firefox, gimp, feh, etc. Even watching a video with mplayer is mostly without any freezing. Distro is Gentoo as cleaned and lean as possibe. And this on 10 years old Opteron PCs.

I use the non-preemptive (server) scheduler on my linux desktop machines with fvwm as favorite long-time WM. At work: RHEL with dwm, which I'm starting to love, also forced to use Windos 7. Boy, this MS sh*t drives me mad. The focus stealing alone is enough to go berserk. The slowness, the deadkeys, the placement of the windows, the lack of virtual desktops...

here is a bulgarian one: electricity and water meet in a typical socialist apartment building. Sorry, I'm here only up to the second floor, says the water. No need to excuse, says the electricity, I'm here only for two hours.

> I took it as basically nobody else used METAFONT.

yeah, well, same true for Multiple Master fonts. It ended up that Adobe gave the font metrics to the TeX[0] community. The complexity of the fonts was obviously too much for the "graphic designer".

what about tmux users on systemd free machines? Do they expect, that everyone have to run systemd now?

GENTOO has sys-fs/static-dev. With some effort I have server running without systemd, without udev, d-bus, pulseaudio ... plus not compiled support for ipv6, nls, ldap, etc.

better example would be the netpbm stack.

Same here. I have couple of old Opteron based servers which I start only for massive parallel ImageMagick/netpbm/tesseract computations. I think this has the best price per CPU ratio.
