Latest news is: within 24 hours of getting custody of the phone, a Government Technician, without asking, and having no mandate, no permission, to do so, CHANGED the password!!! That action just might have lost data that had not been uploaded to iCloud since 1-1/2 months BEFORE the massacre in the County "GUN FREE ZONE"!!! Government again inserts foot into mouth, then shoots foot, hits brain!

There is a special kind of Hell reserved for Censors, and i do believe they have found it! Wow! Next stop, America? I can't wait! This is almost as much fun as watching BSODs at the Airport!

My father, a Captain in the Air Force, was stationed at Sidi Slimane Air Base, Morocco, Africa, in 1953/1954. A Strategic Air Command base, the rules should have been much more strict, but...I rode my bicycle all over the Atlantic coast, at Media Plage, (French for White Beach). the French Algerian War was in full swing, the French Moroccan War was in the terror pre-war phase, with French Foreign Legion unitscamped in small tents, near our home. I rode for miles, gone much of the day on Saturdays, Sundays, playing with kids who were Arabs, Beduin, French. None of us spoke the languages of the others... When the two USAF MPs were 'accidently' murdered by the rebels, all the US military families were ordered to move into base housing, 30 miles away. New territoty for this 7 year old to explore, as I rode off base, right through the gates! One Saturday, I was met an hour away from home, by a Sirocco, aka, Hurricane! Cat 3 winds gusting to Cat 4, made me walk my bicycle, for about 15 miles, to arrive home very wet, but, happy! Never stopped my adventures, and did a 20 year USAF career, serving in 15 nations, and, with millions of others, caused extreme anxiety for all America's enemies. Now, I am olderthan most of you, and consider all the sissy rules as stupid paranoia, but, do have my many firearms locked and loaded, because rapid response, and calm resolve, from making a call, to taking out a perp or thug with one shot, one kill accuracy, is my forte. Not paranoid, just prepared. MOLON LABE! Now, back to fixing up computers with the install of Linux Mint, for all the kids, FreeNAS, PC BSD, and more, for all the newbies. FLOSS ONLY, since 1997!

Problem with OSX is the Apple/Mac corporate philosophy of owning all works, no matter the authorship. Add their expensive habits concerning what the user may see, use, but never really "own". They give the Microsoft Corporate greed a bad name. I will stick to the BSDs of which there are 39, for various platforms, and, the Linux Distros in their hundreds. Of course, all the discussed FOSS applications and telescope steering software, are GNU projects.

And, many objects of note, most meteors, have been discovered, and named, by "hobbyists"! Keep looking up!

Do ou like Astronomy? Physics? Astro-physics? Run Linux! Stellarium, Celestia, Table of eriodic elements. 12 digit calculator, plus, many programs that simply solve poly-nomial equations! I distribute Linux Mint, and highly recommend it, because, it is supported in Linux Mint 13, to Aril 2017, and in Linux Mint 17, to April 2019! Has LIVE support of some 258 folks on the chat servers (both Chat and Help are up at a simple click!). What Free, Open source OS do you recommend / install on at least 52 computers each year?

But, Germany is practised at doing just that... Does anyone recall the shaming of men, by the females of Munich, who demonstrated how easy it was, to install, and run, Linux? 11 years ago, and some virus lover is now fomenting rebellion? Typical.

www.leap-cf.org meets on the first Saturday each month, for an Install Fest. So, I open and close, and have the tools, knowedge, the BSDs, or Linux Distro that is best suited for the build, purpose, user. Folks show up, with all new boxes, or with garbage found on curb... IBM Aptiva 450MHz, anyone? Troubleshoot, build, repair, and gather parts for more home built machines, to donate to children, charities, churches. I "build", over 20 per month. All for free, until I have to provide some parts. Those are at salvage cost.

I state that, because in all of the statistics, there are none for the crime ridden cities, versus the peaceful rural communities! At least, in America, where 500+ die annually in Detroit! Take away the top 20 murderous cities, and America drops below England, for firearms fatalities! Yes, cleaning some of my guns, just now! 1891 Mosin Nagant M91, and Argentine 1891 Mauser, along with MN 91/30, Enfield No. 4, Mk. 1., all get Venison, Hog, Squirrel, Raccoon, Possum for the table! Yummy! Gator is on the menu, but, a quota tag is $$$... Gator cooks up and is most similar to prime lean pork steak! Double Yummy! But, frog is free, and, like wild caught nutria, Bass, Catfish, Blue Crab, are delicious! This exercise of getting my own food with Rod, Gun, Knife, Nets, & hands, helps my brain with GNU/Linux & BSD computer productivity!

I am NOT surprised that FOSS users ONLY run FOSS APPS! The ONLY thing I pay for: 'Bacon getting' milsurp Ammo for my Mosin Nagant M91's!

Could the "yellow" be a reference to racial slurs, as in "Yellow Menace"?

Torrents work better, for me... GNU/Linux, BSD ISOs,"only", of course... (harummph, cough, cough...)

Reason for Hollywood's reluctance: They seek to "be not modern" like Amish... Hollywood studios fight technology improvements at every turn, starting with the Sony Betamax lawsuit... technophobes? Or, just paranoid of losing absolute control of Regional distribution, to milk the most profits from their audience!

Around here, there are a bunch of men who ONLY hunt wild boars with bowie knives... they jump out of trees and sever their spine. Of course, wild boars have 4 razor sharp tusks, which means the wild boars have four 5 inch long knives versus the single one of the human... Is that fair enough for you? I even make it more even... I am disabled by 9 termainal diseases, am pushing 70 years, have had a quad bypass, only have 50% infraction index, and can't run... So, I feel it is fair to bring my bolt action 1891 M91 Mosin Nagant rifle, with bayonet, and 5 rounds of ammo... Yes, I also carry my 10" blade Bowie Knife... But, I can't climb a tree, so...

No racoon, squirrel (especially squirrel BRAINS! YUMMY!), Fox, Wolve, bear, wild hog! Gotta go get it myself! With my milsurp World War 1 rifle and 70 year old ammo!
