@zlives ... No, for freedom, is how I read it. They had older machines that worked fine with Win2K but would not work well with XP or newer, so they decided to migrate to Linux for the freedom from having to do as their Computer Operating System Company demanded. This way, they could upgrade the hardware as they saw fit to upgrade.

Our work IMacs are pretty kicking machines. We have 2012 models with 3.4 GHz Intel Core I7s, 24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and 1 TB harddrives networked with Apple Servers and our up time is wonderful. Our support is a 3 person crew with only one really doing the hardware or software maintenance while the others keep the DBs and other special software going. Other agencies depend on the organizations ITD and they have windows machines but cannot boast of the uptime and productivity we have.

I supposed she was talking about those who performed the raid as still working there. And if they went there for guns, taking her notes would be off limits would not they be?

Good point AC, I would think these website or even hard-copy publishers would dive in to the vast range of possibilities given in Linux to make these comparisons (hopefully in an unbiased manner) and show viewers the features, differences, advantages or deterrents of each of the distributions and their variants. If the word got out, they should have a good amount of traffic on their websites.

Well, You are a Loon yourself. You throwing such thoughts as coming from me must be a reflection of your own thoughts because I never thought anyone should die. Name calling is so intellectual of you. I only reflected it to show your lameness.

Why are they doing all the drama? The nation has already had 17 "shutdowns," and it is just an excuse to furlough ( that is let federal employees have days off ) with pay so it is just a show to try to shame or scare the public into doing a unpleasant thing ( continue to bring on board an unpopular law, parts of which apparently the administration can arbitrarily postpone for a year, while the general population has to conform and do as it says, except for those the administration gives exemptions to including the three branches of the federal government ). The corruption is bleeding through the surface. The president is a product of the corrupt Chicago Democrat machine after all.

Or it could me modded down due to being from an AC! :)

or those so called Luddites don't like Monsanto's sueing farmers for having their wheat in their fields when the farmers had nothing to do with that happening, causing all kinds of bad feelings for Monsanto from many in the farming communities. Now their wheat is growing in the wild. Is Monsanto going to sue the County it is growing in too, or just the farmer on whose land it is found?

And, bonus! if anybody sends them money. Huh? :)

You refer to an opinion page as proof?

from AC "South America is best America."
Even if it is smaller? :)

Or Tobacco, Marijuana, cocaine, etc. :)

The crooks are really concerned. The victims of their deeds may see them coming and take protective measures if the light levels remain high.

The actual picture looks nothing like a flying saucer. It looks like a helicopter body with two struts with engine pods for the rotors. So why is it called a "flying saucer?"
