    All that text. So, so much text and not one single (maybe there was, but I fell asleep), not one single "Let me tell you what Zod is" paragraph. Lots of "Zod 4 is better than Zod 3…

    I have a co-worker who is similar, needs to be about 3-4 inches from the screen. He had his monitor die, a 15" LCD, and the guys in IT 'did him a favor" and upgraded him to a 27" s…

    I know how to solder thru-hole. I have never done SMD, though I'd like to learn. How do I rate myself? I'm average to a little better than average, as in I'd never say to anyone "o…

    Same here. Open a text file in Notepad and the contents extend way past the edge of the screen. Open it in WordPad and turn on line wrapping. Oh! Also, needing to open an RTF when …

    TT-RSS (Tiny Tiny RSS). Best thing I've find for my needs. I'm not excited about how they started doing updates a few years ago, but it just keeps on working.

    I've had some crappy jobs, but the worst job was one I actually really enjoyed, it was the horrible manager that ruined it for me. People join companies, people leave managers.

    Depending on where you live it'll have a different name, but I've been enjoying LinuxPro Magazine (outside of USA it's just called Linux Magazine). There's also Admin Magazine.

    I'm guessing their comment is from the view of the French being "cheese eating, surrender monkeys", a view not supported by France's long military history. This view was supported,…
