I saw TA in the title and got my hopes up for a modern Linux port or the game. I don't think I have work on the brain right now.

I would go there just for that!

Send me an email. I'm thinking about taking those off your hands. o2kewl_at_gmail com

Well, I must admit to the possibility that I just wasn't paying attention and this 'wrong' rule was just shit I made up. /me has disgraced the entire Canadian education system, or …

I'm going to assume you are a grammar Nazi of the American variety. thEn is a correct and acceptable spelling in Canada. ########### As I was typing this up I was looking for refer…

Honestly, I still prefer the 'verb' Slashdotted. So much warmer then DDOS'd.

This is where I really don't understand the concept of trying to force your law/will/idea(ls) on other people. -Today I posted an image of an apple on my web-page. -The city in the…

"Profit" is very easy to hide. Income, not so much. The difference is 'net' vs 'gross'. The horrid nature of current tax law is geared towards lawyers and accountants being creativ…

I have used it, but it is too limited. If they had made it a variable scale (i.e. 0-5 stars) that would have made it vastly more practical and functional. The way that it is presen…

Will the KDE people get the message? Sorry I had to get that out of the way. In all seriousness, 'Semantic Web' has always felt like a SciFi inspired version of AI intelligence. A …

Yes this helped a lot too. Thanks.

I must be in the minority (based on the comments that I have read), but I hate it. The other day the PHB announces to the office: We are going to use Slack and move away from IM, S…

This is amazing, thank-you. I would love to see the addition/option of adding static geometric shapes. In other words this would make for an awesome wind-tunnel simulator.

Thank-you for your patient and well reasoned reply. I wish you the best of luck with your project.

I don't think I am your target audience, but I will respond just so you have at least one data-point. I don't use gestures. Ever. For anything (except unlocking my phone, which I a…

systemd was really designed with servers in mind, and really does bring a lot to the table for server admins. Which is totally ironic too in that the server-admins hate it. (speaki…

My small datacenter results mimic BackBlaze too. Dead/dying seagates all over the place. So I notified management that we will only be purchasing Hitachi drives from now on. I have…

I will second this recommendation. I was about 1/3 of the way through the book before I realized it was a 'historical' book and not a fiction. I have in the many years since I read…

A nice simple test that I like to give as a first-wave elimination: Have a computer setup and running (all properly configured). Pull the network cable out of the jack a little bit…

I like a lot of the Jupiter Broadcasting lineup. TechSnap Linux Action Show Unfilter Coder-Radio ...etc.

I am a Sysadmin. The only advice I can think of is this: Just build stuff. Make use of virtualization and just start building systems. There is more then one 'role' a sysadmin will…

I get Y-combinators' roots and purpose, but blatant advertising on HN is annoying and off-putting. And this example is vastly different then the "Hey look at the cool thing I made!…

Zocalo? Must make Babylon5 reference: http://babylon5.wikia.com/wiki/Z%C3%B3calo Or you can reference the real origin of the word: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z%C3%B3calo It doesn…

I am a sysadmin for a medium sized 'Internet' company. I manage 30+ systems primarily running Debian with a few BSD boxes too.
