− | Good grief finding the actual Jefferson quote was hard. So many people saying things about the quotation without actually linking to the quotation. It took a bit of digging, [http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson#1780s Wikiquote] has [http://etext.virginia.edu/jefferson/quotations/jeff1340.htm a link] to what I think would have been the full text of the letter, but [http://virginia.edu UVa] must have switched CMS' so now all their links are different and you just get redirected to the front page of University of Virginia's Library. So much for permalinks. With a little bit more digging I found the full text published online by the [http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/v1ch2s23.html University of Chicago]. The text is thick, as should be expected of 18th century writing, but if you squint hard enough at a particular paragraph and twist the words a little you can come up with the sentiment that Randall refers to in the title text.

− | I think the explanation about how X works is wrong. But because of the unfortunate choices of the original X designers, I do not think it can become more accurate without also becoming more confusing. In particular, when dealing with X, ''server'' and ''client'' always mean the opposite of what you would expect. [[User:Pesthouse|Pesthouse]] ([[User talk:Pesthouse|talk]]) 21:09, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

− | Been a few years since I started using Linux, hoped for the best, and ended up having to edit xorg.conf. Guess it's unavoidable,, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sending mental support to anyone who has to mess with X11! [[Special:Contributions/162.158.102.59|162.158.102.59]] 09:36, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
