    So what you are basically saying is that seniors are very efficient at finding Linux bugs?

    more fun than eating dirt: mud wrestling with members of the opposite sex (or same sex, if that's the way you roll)

  9. Linux was stolen! on Does Santa Hate Linux? · · Score: 1

    You're a mean one, Mister Grinch...

  10. Re:Daily cup? on Climate, Habitat Threaten Wild Coffee Species · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you're drinking failcoffee.

    Switch to freshly roasted (but not too dark) quality coffee, which is ground just before brewing.

  11. Re:In case of slashdotting on Simulation of Close Asteroid Fly-By · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm curious to know how many Volkswagen Beetles we'd need to collide with a two-and-a-half football fields asteroid to change its trajectory.

  16. Here's an idea on Sharp Rise In Jailing of Online Journalists; Iran May Just Kill Them · · Score: 1, Troll

    How about detaining all Iranian diplomats until all jounalists are freed.

    If I had known Canada was like this, I would not have emigrated from Afghanistan.

  18. Re:Of course it is. on Is Linux Documentation Lacking? · · Score: 1

    I've been using linux for just over a year now and I didn't know about "man".

    I get by with googling when I have an issue with something.

    Most often, the issue is a program I would love to try, but that I can't figure out how to set up, or even run properly if I manage to set it up.

    The big apps are user-friendly and intuitive enough that most computer literate people could switch to linux, but smaller apps could use some development in that area.

    IMHO.

    he needed a replacement miniature black hole for his suitcase-time-machine

  20. Re:Of course... on Plasma Device Kills Bacteria On Skin In Seconds · · Score: 1

    The device does look like an oven...

    You know who else loved ovens?

  21. Re:Why the rockets? on Jetman Attempts Intercontinental Flight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's indeed awesome, but it would be awesomer and potentially awesomest if he base-jumped off a cliff on the African side, and jetted across the Strait to land on the European side.

  22. Image your HD on Geek Travel To London From the US — Tips? · · Score: 1

    Image your HD.

    Then format it, fill it up, reformat it at least three times.

    Install a user-friendly linux distro, which should take care of your travel needs.

    Once you're back home, transfer all your travel-related new files to another media, and put your old image back on your HD.
