The original founder of the company that got bought out by the one I work for currently still comes in to what was his old home office years later (though he doesn't work there) to work on his own persuits. Guy refuses a assigned parking spot, didn't want an office. Just sits at a desk right in the middle of the floor, like anything else.

More likely I expect to see more and more people driving older cars.

I saw my mom for the first time in years just a couple weeks ago. If that's the best you can do, well, I'm really sorry for you.

I suppose the lack of teeth might be considered an asset, for some.

We make the world such an ugly place. Makes sense it would spread to places where there's an absence.

I never said it was MY narrative.

I'm afraid that doesn't fit the narrative.

Believe it or not, those flyover states have more intelligent technical people in them than you have in your company.

That's amazing. McAfee might be a dangerous unstable lunatic who's a menace to society, but he's MY kind of dangerous unstable lunatic who's a menace to society.

Please. That poll's just there to push an agenda. Not like GP's totally rock solid anecdote!

That's a terrible Yosemite Sam impression.

Bennett Hassleton.

I'm still blown away that Hassleton didn't make the list.

But if X is not worse than me, then I'm not as awesome as my mom says I am!

Seriously though, I don't have to be awesome to realize that advice given is pretty weak for what people here SHOULD be capable of. I also don't go around throwing out multi-paragraph blog posts on Slashdot because I realize that, completely unsolicited, I don't have anything that worthwhile to say.

Almost like the world is analog, and there are multiple ways to implement "solutions" to poential "problems".

What you're missing is the intersection of the comments, which is "Bennett == Hack".

Well, and it's NetworkManager. Nothing of value is lost by uninstalling it to begin with.
