Comment I use Plasma (KDE) (Score 1) 515

I use Plasma because I refuse to allow system.d on my computers. I use "Linux" to be in control not to be controlled. Gnome lost me at system.d. If things keep going the way they're going, I may switch to a BSD.

Comment What makes this a non-story (Score 1) 1017

When has any country waited for permission to hack another? They aren't vampires. They're not waiting for an invitation from the man of the house to attempt to break in.

I'm more worried about our own country hacking us. I'd be willing to bet that the NSA has at least 2 copies of all her emails.

I completely overhauled the brakes on my '97 rodeo, front and back, for roughly $300. Of course, that was doing the work myself and I have to admit I didn't change out the discs (didn't want to take the hubs off again). I did change out the drums, calipers, brackets, pads, shoes, cylinders, fluid (pretty much everything else besides the hoses). I agree with a previous poster. My Rodeo is worth less than $1000, but spending more than it's worth for maintenance is still preferable to me than buying a new car and being stuck with a 6 year car payment of more than $300/month. My Rodeo is in better condition than most cars on used car lots that you'll find costing $4k or more. Do your own maintenance; drive a reliable car for less money and fewer surprises. I prefer true ownership.
