Linux and Too Many Choices

And the link to the full story is......?

That is the article. LXer is giving you the option to read short articles.

Please try again and let me know if it doesn't work.

When I posted it, it worked I swear..

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have posted the same message thrice. Or shall we run our comments of three threads in parallel?

"I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat...

The more I look at it The more I like it..."

"We have all been here before. Didn't we, didn't we repeat, repeat? Repeat, repeat"

(Will anyone know both song references?)

Quoting:"I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat...

The more I look at it The more I like it..."

Indiscipline, by King Crimson

Quoting:"We have all been here before. Didn't we, didn't we repeat, repeat? Repeat, repeat"

Deja Vu, by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Do I get a cookie?

Correct

Quoting:"We have all been here before. Didn't we, didn't we repeat, repeat? Repeat, repeat"

Deja Vu, by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Incorrect. They do have the line "We have all been here before" but not the rest of it.

Let's see if this helps:

"We have all been here before. Didn't we, didn't we repeat, repeat? Repeat, repeat

There is nothing new at all Isn't there? Isn't there? Repeat, repeat. Repeat, repeat"

caitlyn,

I am stumped. I did a search, but nothing I found entirely matches the lyrics you have listed. No cookie for me.

My guess.. Peter Baumann, Tangerine Dream, "repeat, repeat".

Actually, it isn't a guess. It is the fruit of an obsessive pursuit.

Ken, treat yourself to a cookie. It's a Peter Baumann solo album as he had left Tangerine Dream several years earlier. It is, indeed, the title track from his album "Repeat Repeat", which was an early '80 synth pop album. It did get some airplay in Florida where I lived at the time and probably elsewhere so I figured somebody would remember it.

Ouch! I wasn't obsessive enough. Oh well, I'll treat myself to half a cookie.

Something is wrong, there is content somewhere but no link. Carla has more to say than the two line summary on the topic.

Works fine now under full story link.

Thanks Hans, it works. I think I left it out when I submitted the story.

I swear too. And sometimes hit things.

Woah..I know I had a couple drinks last night but are you the voice in my head? ;-)

I went to a concert last night then afterword a 'secret' Geekelite meeting and needless to say I got a little 'rambunctious' as it were..everybody started doing shots of liquorice..lol!

Scott: How many times we told 'ya you shouldn't upload your liquor to the LXer server? Not being able to drink anymore yourself is no good excuse!

No more Jaegermonkey for 'ya!

Hey, Carla, I see you attracted many of the same trolls and astroturfers my articles on choice and marketshare brought out. You are most welcome to them. Please feel free to keep them as long as you want :)

LOL. I was kind of hoping for some discussion beyond "is not! Is too!" Oh well, such is life on the Internets. Overall the comments are pretty good, I didn't notice many outright eyerollers.

After I make up my mind about the issue, I think I might share my point of view. It's a little bit different - given my inadequacy to choose from 100 kinds of cornflakes as discussed before (apart from the fact I don't like cornflakes). Of course, like usual, I'll be looking at the benefits of limiting choice as well.

Now, if only I _could_ make up my mind...

I will help you, Hans. On the one hand you could share your point of view. On the other hand, maybe you better not. On yet another hand, you could choose a middle path where you dither back and forth and never decide, which is a sort of decision. On the fourth hand, you might start wondering where all those hands are coming from :)

I'm sure Scott would welcome a nice Hans Kwint feature!

Thanks for the thumbs up TC!

I like your recursive way of solving my problem. Instead of making up my mind, now my problem is reduced to finding two extra hands. Which we can reduce to finding one hand, and then finding another. Maybe I might borrow some hands of the astro-trollers, it seems they've got enough hands to keep both of you busy!

Mine is the best, whatever it is. The world will be a better place once everyone realizes this.

OK, I made up my mind. I developed a pretty interesting view, and some of my conclusions even surprised myself. I haven't read those thoughts anywhere else yet, so it promises to be interesting.
