    mine address is in whois for every domain I own; sure there are a couple major shoddy registrars that will put in their address instead of yours for your domains but they completely suck for other reasons.

    wrong, your $5 an hour waiter makes 2nd copy of receipt for his friend to buy them both things, it's just 2nd tip.

    that's merely another possibility for a test, can a switch-hitter fool someone into thinking they're not

    not quite, fooling someone into believing the opposite. Catchers playing pitcher, or bananas to someone's doughnut (japanese phrase there).

    well, maybe power more valuable to them. Get the power, you get the money, then you get the women (and if a Republican also the occasional man by toe-tapping in the washroom stall)

    but the Republican did just that, but the Democrats killed the US particle accelerator program. I was one (of hundreds) working on the SSC design at the time by the way. Of course, the SSC was located in Texas.....

    Turing was gay, as such did he have some culturally "feminine" interests or ways of thinking, or was he more a "man-gay"

    well there are other things though one can always wonder if they thought the programs might be someday be weaponizable, e.g. particle accelerators

    you are funny, Republicans pushed big science funding for decades, Democrats kill it.

    I despise both parties, by the way, and generally don't vote at federal level for candidates from either one

    they do call cars "units" in the railroad biz

    "segment" already has special meaning, a run of track with distinguishing characteristic: weight or speed or number of cars constraint, from station to station, etc.

    of course, concept cars over half a century ago did that, they get lousy fuel economy and are very loud and shrill (most people thought the sounded like vacuum cleaners). On the plus side, acceleration was *outstanding*

    I'd agree all of FreeBSD is opportunity. I'm a long time Linux enthusiast/architect/admin but honestly things are done a little loose and fast in the Linux realm, problem getting worse in the last two years. This bloated soon coming systemd rubbish, the Perl 6 of boot/management, might be last straw for me

    BSD way more mature and stable.

    in the late 19th century standardized parts meant blacksmiths had less and less work, so more and more of them would take up shoeing horses, and of course in the first half the 20th century the automobile pretty much extinguished the career of the remaining blacksmiths by the 1960s
