    I read that as

    Haughty bureaucrats like these need to be medicated..

    Which has a certain truthiness to it.

    Fuck man, do you want me to spit coffee all over my screen?

    I believe that level of subtle humor requires projection of caffeinated beverages via the nasal cavities.

    No, the calendar people simply made an Off-by-One error somewhere, screwing up the zero-based system

    Are you sure it wasn't an english/metric units conversion error?

    Of course the screener wanted to grope that little girl. Look how she was dressed!

    I agree, wearing a TSA uniform is incontrovertible evidence that th wearer's goal in life is to grope every citizen in reach, especially young girls with belligerent parents.

  13. Provider failure on New SMS Trojan Found In Android Markets · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This a failure on the part of providers. I dont want a "notification" I dont want it at all. Part of signing up should be the ability to limit
    #SMS/day
    Block "premium" SMS messages with exception list.
    Block calls to foreign countries with an exception list
    Block toll (900) calls.
    IOW give me back control on how and how much they can shaft me.

  14. Re:Why not Fedora? on CentOS Linux 6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It has been at least 9 years since I used Red Hat. Why is there a CentOS? Wasn't Fedora supposed to be RedHat with all of the proprietary stuff removed?

    As noted in another reply, Fedora is a short-term development distribution. Don't count on reliable support much past 6 months for past releases unless you can reproduce the issue in the current release. Pevious posts have established the puporse and desirablility of CentOS.
    1. Free distributoion
    2. Binary compatabilty
    2. Free updates.
    Build & tweak your deployment with your in-house resources. If you have difficult to resolve issues, move the (binary compatible) applications to a RHEL lab environment in which you have purchased support and reproduce them there and get RH assistance. I can see the value of RH support, but it quickly loses that value when you have to pay that support premium on 26 interdependent locations. You don't have to be a suited bean counter to see the advantage of as FOSS deployment backed by support lab.

    How about a friendly 'my name is mahasamatman, you can call me "SAM"' (apologies to Roger Zelazny), starting off by lying to me is not going to engender any confidence in what you have to say later.

  22. Re:theme park rented "kid trackers" on Tracking Bracelets for Autistic Kids and Senior Citizens · · Score: 1

    I was at dizzyworld with my brothers family, so there were 2 1/2 adults to keep an eye on 2 rambunctious boys.
    Nevertheless, the youngest (mebbe about 5yo) managed to get himself separated in short order.(last I remember was him running around jumping on the lights embedded in the paving blocks. Fortunately, he remembered the advice given at the gate, 'tell someone in THOSE clothes that your family is lost', which is exactly what he he did, everything turned out well, non-roller-coaster adrenaline spikes not withstanding and he really appreciated getting the free lollipop out of the deal.
    The only thing worse than dealing with young children in public venues is dealing with teachers using Apple products.
