I saw TA in the title and got my hopes up for a modern Linux port or the game. I don't think I have work on the brain right now.

Well, I must admit to the possibility that I just wasn't paying attention and this 'wrong' rule was just shit I made up. /me has disgraced the entire Canadian education system, or has just highlighted his own ignorance.

I'm going to assume you are a grammar Nazi of the American variety. thEn is a correct and acceptable spelling in Canada. ########### As I was typing this up I was looking for references to back up statement. BUT I was wrong. (damn my

Honestly, I still prefer the 'verb' Slashdotted. So much warmer then DDOS'd.

This is where I really don't understand the concept of trying to force your law/will/idea(ls) on other people. -Today I posted an image of an apple on my web-page. -The city in the next town over has decided that images of ap

"Profit" is very easy to hide. Income, not so much. The difference is 'net' vs 'gross'. The horrid nature of current tax law is geared towards lawyers and accountants being creative. The system is geared to r

I have used it, but it is too limited. If they had made it a variable scale (i.e. 0-5 stars) that would have made it vastly more practical and functional. The way that it is presented as a "remember this item" or "note this

Will the KDE people get the message? </troll> Sorry I had to get that out of the way. In all seriousness, 'Semantic Web' has always felt like a SciFi inspired version of AI intelligence. A concept that sounds cool, bu

I must be in the minority (based on the comments that I have read), but I hate it. The other day the PHB announces to the office: We are going to use Slack and move away from IM, Skype, etc. So I signed up. What I don't like: -you need

This is amazing, thank-you. I would love to see the addition/option of adding static geometric shapes. In other words this would make for an awesome wind-tunnel simulator.

I don't think I am your target audience, but I will respond just so you have at least one data-point. I don't use gestures. Ever. For anything (except unlocking my phone, which I am stuck with). Opera 'introduced' mouse

<quote>systemd was really designed with servers in mind, and really does bring a lot to the table for server admins.</quote> Which is totally ironic too in that the server-admins hate it. (speaking just for myself here=) )

My small datacenter results mimic BackBlaze too. Dead/dying seagates all over the place. So I notified management that we will only be purchasing Hitachi drives from now on. I have a BackBlaze server that I recently converted to Free

I will second this recommendation. I was about 1/3 of the way through the book before I realized it was a 'historical' book and not a fiction. I have in the many years since I read this one, become quite the fan of all his w

A nice simple test that I like to give as a first-wave elimination: Have a computer setup and running (all properly configured). Pull the network cable out of the jack a little bit (so it looks like it's plugged in but isn't). As

I am a Sysadmin. The only advice I can think of is this: Just build stuff. Make use of virtualization and just start building systems. There is more then one 'role' a sysadmin will play and in some areas each specialty could be

I get Y-combinators' roots and purpose, but blatant advertising on HN is annoying and off-putting. And this example is vastly different then the "Hey look at the cool thing I made! p.s. I am selling it too."

While all the hard-core programmers and coders around me use vim all the time they ridicule me for using nano. I'm an admin not a coder, so I usually just edit conf files and firewall rules. I do spend all day at the cli and do write scrip
