I guess that's the superiority of Linux admins. I'being one of them, can write scripts in bash, python, perl, and plenty of other langs. And just recently, taught myself powershell as well. Screwedup-LangwithLongKeywords...

An "some form" means some faceless bureaucrat fuckhead, who's having a lousy day (after reading my comment!) rubber-stamps "NOPE".... or is just lost. These are barriers to trade. And we got to this place with death

Still a nope for me. Adverts are a vector of malware and 0-day attacks. We already know that the advert companies aren't too keen in fixing these issues, either. Lowering adblockers for a site means lowering my ability to protect again

And I'd just like to actually have control over my own phone. Right now, it's Google, Apple, or MS. Google is the "free-est", but exacts their cost with your data. What I'd like, is something like a cut and dry Linu

I remember one distinct memory from when I later figured I was 1.5 years old (18 months). My great grandmother (mom's mom's mom) was on her deathbed. I remember meeting her, with my parents one last time before she passed away. I

Solar proves the opposite, as it is hyper-local. Why bother with remote power generation and such, when I can hang stuff on my roof and get free energy? (I am for large scale clean power generation, along with solar panels and other local t

You're right. This hatred is about Muslims, immigrants, deportation forces, bad trade deals, "stop-and-frisk" and rights reductions, and anti-liberalism. Change Muslims for Jews, and well...

Its not a spin. Its the actual business process and thought behind it. The solution to that is challenge it with clout equal to the business. And that means unions. Only when 2 powers butt heads, will there be any fairness out of that.
