Actually the Debian update thing (compared to Ubuntu) was meant to be a joke, lame though it was. I've run Stable from the beginning as getting certain things to work was quite enough of a job without having to worrying about buggy applications.

If you switch to Debian you hardly ever have to update. Well, I did have to update libexif this a.m. but, just saying.... ;) Honestly, I kind of miss the old days of having to edit and recompile the kernel just to get sound, printing and, if things were going really well, a network connection. After 15 years, Debian is still a happy part of my life and will be to the end.

Had a Nook Simple Touch for a spell and enjoyed using it but when I saw the Samsung Tab II 7" I had to have it. It was $40 more than the Nook Tablet, at the time I bought it, but has so much more. I do still use Barnes & Noble for ebook purchases, though, as all the ebook sellers are mostly identical.

I've had six surgeries for basal cell carcinomas, three of which were on my face and fairly extensive. The longest healing time was about three weeks that left a scar from just below my left eye to my upper lip. I'm a battle scarred 'old fuck' (love ya Georgie) anyway so a few more don't matter to me. This new procedure is really great, though, for those beautiful people that care about such things.

...if we exterminated all the greedy cocksuckers on the planet.

I've already payed my provider for that content and I should be able to do whatever the fuck I want with it. Greedy cocksuckers.

...that spells moon.

... for taking the time to do this. Great stuff and I appreciate it.

Phil,

In January of '09, The BBC ran a story on research done by scientists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Using the VLBA they found what they felt was very good evidence that our galaxy is about the same size as Andromeda (150k ly). However, very few of their fellow astronomers, including you, are touting this new size. Why? Was the study flawed?

Next up: Comparison of penis length and brand of toothpaste. Don't ya love 'science'?

"like the old telephone time service." Ah, UL3-1212. Haven't thought about that in a long...um...time. For the 'new-time' perhaps we could use: U812 or Fi1U12.

From the little I've seen of these TV ghost hunters, they could also use a manly pair and several changes of adult diapers.

Glad I'm not alone. I even added a little brown noise to give the illusion it is coming from light years away.

I'll hold out for a cyborg babe.

From the blurb at the top, it sounds as though the researchers could have misinterpreted their results. I can't imagine an old fuck (love ya Georgie) like me getting an ego boost from seeing young folk fail, except for the mentally challenged or those in the beginning stages of dementia. I don't have much time left and it does my heart good to see younger men and women succeeding in every human endeavor around the world which, of course, includes my children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
