THE DAY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
The US federal science agencies are generally pretty happy with sharing things. If it's free to the US public, it's free to the world and I love that. Best possible use of my tax dollars.
(We also share weather and hurricane data with the Caribbean countries, for example. None of them could individually afford what the US is doing, so I'm happy we share.)
I'm still using a particularly excellently implemented Matrix screensaver from XP, hehe.
And what's that (less authentic looking but still great) one for Linux terminals? cmatrix I think?
Yeah it's cmatrix. You can get it pretty legit if you tweak the settings enough.
I remember that XP screensaver like it was yesterday though.
