Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I have yet to see an Excel sheet that is ACID compliant. You rely on that for your core business and you are screwed.

And Django for a front end.

Mod parent up.

It should be more RMS, less Zuckerberg.

Fixed that for ya Chelsea.

I loathe the Himalayan Blackberry. The berries, while large and numerous, are bland. They store a lot of energy in their roots quickly, so once they get a foothold, they send out shoots everywhere- especially after you cut them back.

Goats are the best remedy. I had a single goat clear an acre of 8-10' tall bramble in a span of a few months. For good. They eat new shoots as soon as they appear until the blackberry roots have expended all their stored energy.

If you don't have a goat, then you must remain vigilant. I have a zero tolerance policy towards blackberries. If I see one on my property, it dies.

I want my son to be a douchebag tech startup CEO by the time he is 25. Sounds like he needs more computer time.

That's the way I like to dumb it down for myself.

Government owned distribution has its drawbacks, but what about a public owned cooperative? It would operate like a corporation except that the shareholders are also the customers. There are two sticking points to this approach though- initial capitalization and competition. Startup costs for this kind of enterprise are not insignificant, and even if a cooperative could be established, existing providers would slash their fees (to the point of taking a loss) to insure that a cooperative would not gain market foothold.

You were supposed to say 'George Soros" not "Michael Bloomberg'. At least get your right wing talking points right.

Their last update bricked broadcom blades of the G1 variety.

boochiboochiboochiboochi is acceptable as well here in the states.

Depends on the pinball machine. Pinbot? Definitely.

That might by you some time at best. You can wipe the server drives, but then you will be charged with contempt or worse obstruction of justice. The first you may hear of it is your front door smashed in and cops with guns (and a warrant) in your house.

Let's get hypothetical...

One of your nephews or cousins that uses your e-mail server decides to purchase a pressure cooker online. He also has some friends in Europe that he e-mails once in a while. What do you do when the NSA asks you for all the e-mails stored on your server?

They have agents in every neighborhood in the US that are perfectly capable of spying on Americans under the pretext of "delivering mail".

You think I'm joking?
