  1. Re:Time to move... on Massive Martian Glaciers Found · · Score: 1

    I actually agree with both of you, and posit and this can change from one period of your life to the next. 15 years ago, I might have signed up to go to Mars. Now, with a wonderful wife, 2 incredible kids, a job that I actually enjoy and a couple engaging, rewarding hobbies, and I wouldn't consider it unless I could take all that with me. Safely. So it's pretty unlikely.

    If you'd read the article you linked to, you'd know that Lois passed away in 2007, you insensitive clod. ;)

    Odd how your position conflicts with your sig.

    I have young children, and I have a simple method for determining what they see. I hold the remote, and I change the channel if something fails to meet my approval. If a show or channel repeatedly crosses a line, we just don't watch it.

    This way, I can make sure my kids don't see really graphic violence, but are allowed to see healthy expressions of affection, within reason.

    I even have a name for this method: parenting. :)

    I had the honor of being in that sea of people with my wife and two kids.

    Why can't you buy support for desktop RHEL? We use 4 and 5 here. Works great. Those sections that don't need to support use CentOS and hit the same local yum repos.

    Actually, Red Hat do contribute hugely to the community, especially the kernel. Google Alan Cox. RH employee.

    That'd be an interesting looking and awkward piece of kit, to be sure.

  12. Re:Well, I'm screwed on Interpol Pushing World Facial Recognition Database · · Score: 1

    The Federal government has my photo from my passport stored somewhere.

    It has my DNA from my stint in the Army.

    It has has my fingerprints from security clearance applications and several FBI background checks I've had to go through to be a teacher.

    My only solace is, in all of my photos for federal documents I'm frowning like an NFL star posing for a picture, and on all my Facebook pictures I'm smiling.

    Though when it comes down to it, when the government went to crap, I got screwed.

    TFTFY

  16. Re:Who would want a nose that sensitive? on Scientists Closer To Creating Artificial Noses · · Score: 1

    I've lost most of mine over the past 30 years, probably due to a long string of allergy medications, including sprays. Sometimes it's not just anosmia, though, sometimes I get pseudonosmia, though, where I smell things that aren't there. It's really fun explaining to your wife and kids that the reason daddy isn't eating and is sitting there looking ready to toss his cookies has nothing to do with the fabulous dinner mommy just made, but with the smell of old ashtrays that is overpowering daddy's trashed olfactory infrastructure, despite the fact that daddy hasn't been in the presence of an ashtray in 5 years.

    Good times.

    Fedora has more in it that RHEL. How is that not the *FULL* version? Besides, if you want the full Enterprise verion, see CentOS. No different, just branding. I build CentOS and RHEL rpms all the time and use them interchangeably.

    I had a chance to skip a day of high school to go see a great band an hour away. I decided to study for a midterm instead. I heard it was a great show. Of course, that was pretty much par for the course for Nirvana in 1993.
