Nope, unless he's moved and I don't know about it (haven't talked to him in a long time). Looks like there may be at least two Js running around!

In a similar vein, I remember people giving me shit at some point because some fingerprint reader sucked at reading my fingerprint, like it was my fingerprint's fault and not the shitty fingerprint reader's. That's not how it

I support Ukraine in this like all civilized people, but we have absolutely no moral obligation to Ukraine whatsoever. When the Iron Curtain fell and pretty much everyone who was behind it ran to NATO for protection from Russia as fast as t

Exactly my case. Used to use Gentoo, got tired of every other update breaking the system, was told on IRC that if I didn't like "free" updates (because apparently my time and serenity have no value) perpetually breaking the s

Too bad the link to Jonny Kim's biography is broken (one that works: https://www.nasa.gov/people/jonny-kim/ ). He has to be one of the most impressive humans who has ever lived. Amongst other things, a decorat

I've played with Celestia and had it draw the constellations, then zoomed around the galaxy and seen how they got distorted as I moved away from Earth and saw them from different angles. Really drove home that the constellations are th

People who say "I couldn't even spend X amount of money" (where X is some large number) suffer from a lack of imagination. I could easily find ways to blow the world's entire GDP on bullshit if I somehow had the world&#x
