This is a shame, because efficient console-only operation is possible on a computer that would otherwise be fit only for landfill, and on modern high-efficiency devices with limited computing power.</p><p style="font-size: smaller">Categories: <a href="Linux-groupindex.html">Linux</a></p>

I will also make the suggestion that the increased interest in homeopathy, and in other forms of alternative medicine, is a reaction to a dissatisfaction with modern medical practice, rather than a conviction that homeopathy is actually efficacious.</p><p style="font-size: smaller">Categories: <a href="science_and_technology-groupindex.html">science and technology</a>, <a href="snake_oil-groupindex.html">snake oil</a></p>
