For years Slashdot has been using the term Hacker to mean someone who breaks into computer systems through a network. I know that is what the media thinks, but that doesn't make it correct.

Now suddenly they are using the old meaning of the term for people who like to make things work better by modifying hardware or software. I don't get it.

They’re made out of meat.

Oh God, I missed that LOL.

What is wrong with NY's system which uses a paper ballet which is scanned but kept in case there is a problem with the electronic one? Well besides the obvious problem as your ballot is not secret because the ballets are numbered.

Actually I just got a new job, it only took me 20 years. Most jobs have strict start stop times to allow overlap with the other shifts. Mine is strict except on the weekend, but a 2 minute commute makes up for it. Most stores have shifts that change a lot but I couldn't sell you as $100 bill for 50 dollars.

I would love to see the opposite, there is way too much daylight in the summer, but very little night sky for someone trapped in first shift like I. In the winter it would be nice to have at least an hour of sunlight when you get home for snowblowing.

In the summer it would be nice to have some dark before bed. I have been forced to sleep a few hours after work so I can get some time in the dark each day.

You wouldn’t shoot a policeman.

I presently run Ubuntu server for my home server becouse it was quick to build a headless system with no GUI. It seems the new Ubuntu server has a GUI now and is bult for being a cloud base. Now it looks like I will have to find a new distro in 3 years.

I left Ubuntu on the desktop years ago becouse it became unusable. I went to Debian sid and let it upgrade to systemd, and so far it makes boots longer and kills the network most of the time.

Thanks coward, I thought that was for other projects not downloading the program it self. They sure went out of their way to hide it from my eyes.

It appears to be Microsoft windows only making it useless for my needs.

A local doctor was struck by lighting and became a concert pianist as a result. You never know what might change your life forever.

My favorite DE has always been gnome. When I tried to get Gnome3 to run on 3 screens I completely failed and had to switch to Mate.

Too bad that the patriot act made the constitution null and void when the crime of terrorism is iinvolved.

To each his own, the only episode I really like in the 5th season is night of the dead.
