  1. Then IBM's acquisition of Rehat is a perfect fit, since Redhat doesn't sell software either.

    I rode the BART in SF. I try to use public transit whenever/where ever I can. That BART, though... The fucking loudest train I've ever been on. They should really fix that!

  4. I'll surely use it until it's removed.

    I had to read your comment at least 10 times to realize that you actually omitted the number TWO(2) from the problem... Or did you?

    I'm an agnostic, so by no means do I feel persecuted. As long as my children aren't exposed to it then that's cool. If some one wants to pray on their own time, so be it. Just, don't be shoving that nonsense down my kids throats.

    Public schools are not in session on Sundays. The fact that the church is holding Sunday services at a public school on a Sunday is not the same as saying that State College High School, or any representatives thereof, promote the teachings of a particular deity. If the school was hold services while the school was in session, they would be practicing against the separation of church and state. The fact that they are holding services while school is not in session is no different than a boy scout troop having their weekly meeting in the high school cafeteria, as long as it's not willfully promoted by the school.

  8. Can't blame them when the cumulative IQ of all members in the house is a mere 140. And that's being generous.

    I've been using Gnome 3 since its incarnation. It had some struggles but overall it's now quite solid. As a desktop user I find it quite usable and is currently my preferred DE.

  12. Re:Get bikes off road?! on RIP: Tech Advocate and Obama Advisor Jake Brewer · · Score: 1

    What dedicated "bike trails" are you talking about? A side-walk? Try riding on a sidewalk with a ROAD BIKE! They don't call it a road bike for nothing. Sidewalks are poorly maintained and never kept. It's September and the shit the county put on the roads last winter is still sitting there waiting to get cleaned up. It's a hazard and nuisance to ride on. What we need are dedicated bike lanes. They've been promising those in my area for over 20 years. But all they seem to do around here is start them and never finish, resulting in bike lanes to either lead nowhere or just stop, putting the rider in the middle of hazardous traffic.

    Besides, anyone placing classified information on ANY email server is an idiot . Unless, of course, it's encrypted of course. But do you really think they'd do that?

  18. Re:Don't! on Ask Slashdot: How To Introduce a 7-Year-Old To Programming? · · Score: 1

    I exposed my child to http://www.learntomod.com./ She loves Minecraft, but saw what others were doing in Modding and wanted to try it for herself. So I got her a learntomod subscription. What I love about it is that it starts you off using blockly, and everything is in real time. It walks you though, step by step. First it starts with really easy mods, and progresses from there. They give you a personal Minecraft server where you can experiment with your new skills and as you progress, you get skill badges as rewards.

    The experience is great for both of us. I get the opportunity to spend time with my child helping her get new badges, and she gets to learn something she really wants to progress in. But she wouldn't have known this unless we tried.

    Some further insight... Learn to mod uses blockly, has great video walk throughs, and translates your blockly code to javascript in real time so you can see what it looks likes. My daughter uses it and loves it!
