I've been using the same username for well over a decade now. I've also, in that time realized that common sense is surprisingly uncommon. I use noscript and adblock plus and erase cookies when I close my browser. I also have to do a bunch of upkeep on my spam filter. The folks who dont have the "common sense" to use these things are my bread and butter.

Some of them also make a big whackload more on their pay than I do.

"The extreme cold there puts ice on the runways, and that of course has to be got rid off for airplanes to take off. That’s where things get badass; they use Klimov VK-1 jet engines from Mig-15 planes, or engines from Mig-17s to thaw the ice. You know, it gets pretty impressive when an engine from a fighter jet gets to work as a snow blower."

Dude, I'd work that job.

Don't they have rock salt where you guys come from? Forgive me, I'm Canadian, but shovel the driveways, use salt on the walkways, and hire guys with trucks and CATs to push the snow outta the way.

`Course, taxes might pop up a notch to pay for those guys to work.

What you think it means. The OP appears to believe that the KDE desktop systems appearance in the movie deserved some sort of kudos. There is a link up there that will tell you all sorts of stuff about it. Just click the bit that reads "KDE 3's performance".

OK. Coffee. Now.

I think that's an insult to journalistic values! Why kowtow to the govt to get their money when much more is there to be had through blackmail?

Must be. I get e-mails daily all about adding inches to my column.

in my list of reasons not to take 4chan seriously. They've done come stuff I like but this is just retarded.

Fengoffice, MyClientBase, and important todonow stuff is on the desktop until it gets finished and filed. When the desktop gets too full of junk (three columns is my max) that's the signal to stop starting new and get to finishing up open projects.

As for personal stuff, I have a /home/me/mycrap directory that is chock full of stuff from the last ten years that is organized somewhat like a chimp throws feces. I leaf through it every now and again, but organized it aint..

I just read this book in its entirety in the space of about 36 hours, and it addresses just this (problem?) situation. Excellent read. Extremely basic synopsis: Lack of structured rites of passage for modern adolescent/child males results in immature adult males.

Dr. Moore goes into a little more detail.

That post is wrong on several levels. Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz is his name, and using his middle name instead of his last name makes sense the moment you hear the title "The Daily Show with Jon Leibowitz". As for his heritage, have you watched any of his shows? He is a very openly jewish guy.

Wait, did I just take trollbait?

Having a LAMP server in the basement comes to mind too. One can serve ones family without having to addict ones mother to Farmville.

Well, if a kid has really crappy parents, at least dealing with a really crappy boss will be easy.... Hey, waidaminnit!

Or replace motorcycle carbs.

Wait... What?

Yes, you do need to know what you are doing to install an operating system, whether it be Ubuntu, Windows, or MacOS. You may not need very much knowledge, but most motorcycle mechanics wont have it, because they don't care (just to pull some generic profession out of the old hole). You need to know about drivers on some, and networking on others, and what the machine is to be used for.

The subtle difference would be the law. Businessfolk have to go through inspection for compliance right from the get go. That's hardly letting them do whatever they want, which is shoving an electrolux into your wallet and sucking out your soul.
