Bridging Unix and Windows At NASA

Posted by Hemos on from the making-the-jump dept.

slashdotess writes "Information Week reports: "About a year ago, Patrick McCartney, a Johnson Center project manager, created a Linux desktop environment that could also run government-mandated Microsoft apps. This let his team of 30 engineers continue to program in a Unixlike environment and create Word documents and Outlook E-mail all on the same PC. This mixed-use scenario is slowly taking hold, encouraged by a growing number of applications for running Linux on PC desktops." Score another one for Linux on the Desktop."

      I am 35 years old but I would like to fuck a sweet 16 old (=the age of consent over here) teen girl with a tight twat, perky breasts and amazingly firm ass and thighs.

      Does that make me a dirty old man?

      Yes it does, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a dirty old man.

      Being a dirty old man I know how hard it is to get a taste of some fresh teen pussy. Before the girls hit their 30s they guard their "access port" jealously and expect all kinds of silly romancing. After that, however, they turn into more reasonable beings: "Just be nice to me, buy me a nice dinner/gift once in a while and you'll get sex in return". Too bad this does not coincide with their physical prime time.

    Goddamnit. My hot cousin Jennifer is sleeping in the room next to mine. Now I can't browse porn and jerk off like I do every night.

      dude... you also said she is "hot", now... logicaly that means that you see her as a "sex" object in your mind. Since you see her as a sex object the next thing follows is that you don't mind fucking her... and that is what was suggested just previously

      Actually I believe it is legal to marry your cousin here in the UK. Not that I know anyone who has done that, but I have heard it is common among certain immigrant communities.

      You believe right. I understand that it used to be common practice in the Royal Family. This might well explain Prince Charles.

      Someone would like to screw his sister or mother?
      That would not be here. That would be on Jerry Springer, National inquiror, or Fox News.

      Nothing.

      I am doing just the same. All the trolls, goatse-guys and crapflooders are nothing compared to spending the X-mas eve with a fucking insane family and meeting even more disturbed relatives.

      Christmas is the time of the year when all the pus under the scab called family is released.
