I am also using NX (specifically, Nomachine's NX, an older version before they replaced everything with proprietary crap.) Right now for Linux, I think it is still the best thing going. I use it in full desktop mode, as if it were a VN

It doesn't need to be random. Make it torrent Ubuntu CDs or something. Then you can declare Netflix is helping achieve a public good in addition to calling Verizon's bluff.

I get bored very quickly. I filter down to three ideas. One that is short-term but teaches me something new; one that is a labor of love; and one that I have determined could make me money. I will work on each one for 2-3 consecutive days,

If you read the paragraph below on the paper, he said "they did not appear to whirl or spin." That in combination with the saucer term strongly implied to me that he meant they were disc shaped. Incidentally, if you go through UFO
