There's a secondhand report that Obama, when an intern quipped "All your base are belong to us", he leaned over, cocked an eyebrow, and responded, "What you say?" That suggests to me that he has never heard the phrase.
I was with you til the last one. Had he said "What did you say?" would certainly imply he was unfamiliar with the phrase. But "What you say?", c'mon, straight from the game.
but I can guarantee you that the majority of those 400 Facebook "friends" you have really don't want to see that, any more than they want to hear about your newborn's growing poo-poo production or the consistency of his vomit. Parents need to accept that there are a hundred little things that are "cute" to them but pretty distasteful to the general populace.
Yes. When I talk about my kid's "poo-poo" collection it's because I think it's cute. There, I said it. Poop is cute to me.
It has nothing to do with me being utterly amazed/horrified that something so small can dominate a diaper so thoroughly.
People would be better off renting a truck for a day if they don't haul stuff around at least once a week or so.
Thank you. I live in the Midwest and I see all types of people driving around in trucks/SUVs.
On the one hand you have people like my parents who own a truck to haul their horses around. On the other you have high schoolers of all people driving around in Ford Escorts and the like.
The gas guzzlers serve a purpose. I wish people would get their priorities straight. I can't stand seeing some kid driving around in a gas guzzler because their parents want to show the world they have money.
So, you accuse the Linux community of copying the 'two big names' (which is debatable) and instead advising them to innovate you suggest they advertise?
Good job.
Also, if anyone mods you flamebait it won't be because you're simply badmouthing Linux but that you're being a douche bag about it.
Forcing someone to actively practice a religion is probably illegal
There's no 'probably' about it. It is illegal.
but requiring someone to be knowledgeable in the religions practices even if it requires training, probably isn't anymore illegal than requiring someone to receive training about how to operate a piece of machinery.
Cause that makes sense. A company that develops software would have need of its employees being knowledgeable in any religion.
Good point. I'd go so far as to say taxpayer money shouldn't be used on this no matter what the cost.
I really don't understand all these computer initiatives. What's so important about a damn computer that you need one in every class? As far as I'm concerned they just serve as a distraction. A lot of classes have absolutely nothing to do with computers.
The university I went to started one of these initiatives. Granted it was college so it was the students who payed for them and not taxpayers. But even that is awful IMO as the students were forced to buy them. It didn't matter if they came to school already owning a computer. And the icing on the cake was that they were POS Gateway tablets.
I was fortunate in that I had already been there a few years when they started it so I didn't have to get one.
Despite the fact I didn't have to get one myself they were still a negative influence. Every class was filled with 'click-click-click' as hordes of students chatted with their friends. I had a few professors that grew so aggravated by it that they actually blew up in front of the whole class.

Looks like President Medvedev of Russia and President Obama of the United States have something in common.
They're both secret Muslims?
You can open/install hyperlinked .debs with gdebi.
Blasphemer! The zombie army of Canonical shall be unleashed upon you to extract payment for your sins!
All praise Ubuntu!
Only you have no idea how many applications apt was setting up.
It's not booting into anything. It was apt installing stuff.

Rings don't plug holes.
It's a totally nonsexual thing.
For you maybe!

Well, probably because you can paste screenshots directly into your Outlook draft and sidestep the whole Word process.
1) Send me screenshots inside a word document
Couldn't agree more. Although, at my last job I actually had a few people send me screenshots in an Excel document!
My mom does books/payroll for a trucking firm in SD and she informed me that every quarter they have to pay fuel taxes to every state they truck in.
They also have to pay for licensing for each truck to the state of SD which then distributes some to the other states they are licensed in.
And lastly, every time they truck into Oregon they have to order a permit based on the number of miles they'll be traveling.
So...truckers passing through Oregon already pay per mile driven.
People would be better off renting a truck for a day if they don't haul stuff around at least once a week or so.

moving my mother over to Linux at the beginning of the year. It's gone swimmingly
I had the same experience with my mother only I forgot to slap some floats on her and she drown shortly afterward. :(

our fathers and mothers had the same first and last names and the same middle initials.
I believe they call that 'brothers'.
I'm surprised we haven't seen any court cases by people who wiped their asses so hard the paper ripped and they got shit on their hands.
Why didn't I think of this before? My smelly hands will have vengeance!
You mean nintendo thumb (or nindo thumb as my brother and I called it)?
Or do you mean to say that you received a blistered thumb from using a joystick?
It is a good thing that Beethoven is long dead because he would not ever wish to hear the game's lifeless version of Ode to Joy.
Hmm...something tells me that were he still alive this wouldn't be a problem.
You were mostly right. It's west Asian gangsters.
Um...isn't this the part where someone says "Whoosh"?
And black people like chicken. And the Irish are drunks. On a side note, all this time I've been Republican and never knew!
I don't see it now, but I recall reading on 7zip's website that it was slower because it had to avoid violating compression patents.
