I've never been a wine drinker... It gives me headaches. However, there are many goods which have traditionally inflated prices, such as diamonds, but there is no shortage of people who buy into the words of marketers. That said, afici

Awesome photos, and I never would have imagined that anyplace in NYC could be so abandoned, but further reading shows that the island is occasionally patrolled by authorities. More info & images: http://www.businessinsider.co

All of the above, with the exception of "Subscribe to a paid service..." and "Buy a video..." When possible I seek out free information rather than buy it.

Installing LibreOffice on Lubuntu is so easy that even a caveman (me) can do it. 1.) Open Synaptic Package Manager. 2.) Enter Admin Password. 3.) Type "LibreOffice" into the search field. 4.) Follow the on screen

Denying the right of "We the People" to know what is being done in OUR name is anathema to the ideal of "the consent of the governed." Unfortunately there are many who believe that because of the ethnicity of the POTUS h

The features of Qedit that I liked had more to do with editing functions and keybindings than suspending any processes, and running concurrent applications is sort of a non issue in BSD/Linux. The default Qedit settings made columnar e

One of my favorite TSR programs was Qedit, by SemWare. I have yet to find another editor that I like better, and wish that I could find something similar which runs on unix-like operating systems. Qedit had the ability to drop to a command

Just what is the cause of globalisation given the current political & economic climate? Is it global surveillance? Military domination? Economic centralization? Or is it something more benign?

Barring any UEFI issues the hardware should run most unix-like systems without much trouble, but the article doesn't really list any set of hardware specifications. I'm sure that the CPU will run unix-like systems, but I have no i

I find it disappointing that the article doesn't state when the PDP-11 was first produced. A frame of reference would be nice.

I had no problem understanding the many nuances of 1984 the book, and that was over 35 years ago. I also had no problem seeing a problem with the central banking system and fractional reserve lending. Perhaps you disliked "being forced

I see a lot of people conflating the messenger with the message. Forget about your tendencies towards fascination with a "cult of personality" and see these abuses of our 4th Amendment rights for what they truly are.

How can people not see the parallels between the anti Snowden crowd and Nazis who were "just following orders" when they took part in the pogroms? Everyone who takes part in this latest abrogation of the US Bill of Rights is no be

Meanwhile the fat cats pay little, or no taxes... GE paid 7% in 2010, partly due to the poor economy. How many of us wish we could get away with only paying 7% tax? http://money.msn.com/taxes/latest.aspx?post=26d490bd-7

As the old adage goes, "It's not fascism when we do it." I see far too many people who believe that Democrats can do no evil and that Republicans are evil incarnate, when the reality is that it took both parties, working toge
