Right, if this was political, then the President would have sent one to Chicago. Since he has not part in the decision anyway, well, there goes that conspiracy plot... And we in Chicago had a nice place to put it, right next to the Adler Planetarium and the Spaceship-like Soldier Field...

Do not blame him. The economy is getting better slowly, troops are coming home, countries are being more friendly to us again, no 9-11 attacks, etc... It will take time to clean up the mess the previous president caused for 8 years. The current president is doing what he can after the worst recession since the Great Recession. the Republicans and Tea Partiers are focusing on one terming this current president, not on job creation, fixing the economy, etc... Since I am part of the 300 million, I think I will vote for the party who are trying to bring us back from the brink and doing it.

The Republicans AND the Tea Party blinked... They ran on cutting money out of the budget. They did NOT meet their goals of cutting $100 billion this year. That is what they ran on and they failed. "How's that for hope and change, Tea Partiers ?" It's a little harder to do something when you get voted in to actually DO something rather than campaigning... All the Republicans have done is to show that they are NOT doing what they have been voted in to do. All they want to do is "limit the current President to one term......" Nothing about job creation, etc... That's all they want..... Sad !

They have said that they are planning to switch ALL TMobile hardware to ATT and go LTE, replacing ALL TMOBILE phones in the process which will take some time. So, if I hold on, I can go LTE and a NEW phone for (maybe) free ??? And be grandfathered into my (semi)unlimited plan ??? Guess I will wait and see..

I use Linux 99 percent of the time I am on my dual-boot lappy, the one percent that I do use the Windows side is to view stuff off of Netflix, with my $10 dollar subscription. Netflix can make the client, I am betting that a lot of Linux users out there dual boot and watch Netflix using Windows.

FSFE President Urges Community To Strengthen Open Source As a Brand 152
Georg Greve, founder and president of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), has an insightful look at FOSS from a brand perspective with urgings that the community come together and strengthen open source as a unified brand. "There are plenty of false enemies to go around. Ironically, the most common form of false enemy is found around the animosity that has built around branding and framing issues, more specifically in the area of 'Free Software' vs 'Open Source.' Name-calling and quarreling on either side is not helpful, and serves to hide the common base and interest in having a strong brand and powerful message. The historical facts around Free Software are well documented and available to anyone who wishes to look them up. But instead of focusing on past insults and wrongs, I believe our focus should be on the future. We should realize that what divides us pales in comparison to what we have in common and that division and exclusion are harmful to us all. So we should rein in the name-callers on either side, and empower those people who know how to build cooperation, corporations, and positive feedback loops."
Comment No one sees secret cable..... (Score 0) 385
And, reading all of these stories about buried cables and whatnot, it seems to me that noone has seen people putting IN the cables. Do black suites get dirty diggin' or do they hire someone to bury cable? Seems to me that someone should have seen the cable going in, or do they just work at night ?
