    And since I made an anti-Slashdot comment about Michael I'm automatically modded -1 for all new posts.

    It's actually worse than that. They retroactively modded all my past comments to -1, even some that were 5s.

    I know people don't hire older programmers, and being 27 this is something that's hainting me.

    This is news to me since I'm a programmer in my 50's and considered a youngster on my project.

    Oh never mind.

  9. Re:MythTV Win32 Fronend on MythTV 0.17 Released · · Score: -1

    > What's the status of a MythTV Win32 frontend? I tried about it a about month ago and found that it's functional but just barely. I was able to stream live TV to my PC but the interface had very little functionality beyond that and it was buggy and prone to crash or freeze. I expect that most of these problems will soon be fixed since it's currently only at version 0.14

    Maybe he's the one that retroactively modded down all of my previous posts after I had one post modded flamebait.

    I haven't seen an RC Cola in stores forever.

    I've found RC Cola in nearly every major grocery store. The problem is that you really have to hunt for it down on the top or bottom shelve.

    I know because that's the only soda that I drink.
