I wish I could upvote this a bunch more times. You're 1000% correct about the ridiculous moderation methods over there, and about that <LOOOONG string of expletives omitted> David 'ass.

Welcome to the mango side, we have cookies. And people who know what they're talking about (not me, but there are others).

Wait, I never got a cookie...

Cookies are only given out at mangocon. And then only if someone makes them.

Libraries are potentially really good venues for that sort of thing, except for the general lack of alcohol problem.

Pizza and wings. Going old school.

Given enough time, it will seek us out.

Make a thread, and they will come.

I feel like that's something everyone already knew.

I agree, falls under "duh".

The Linux world is complex enough for normal users. BSD just pushed them that much farther over the edge.

Awesome, I expect to be there. Always really fun. Hopefully the bats are there again this year. They seem to be getting less and less every year. White nose or whatever that disease is has been really impacting the regional bat populations. Would be sad if the Austin Congress St. Bridge bat population was affected by that. I know it Missouri it is causing huge issues.

The Austin bats are migratory though I thought. Last year was November and after most had gone was my understanding.

Probably go to Mexico to stay warm. Austin nights get chilly in the winter.

@rojoloco He is also the guy that told everyone that they should have XBMC on their laptops to stream "free" movies and TV shows. I get to look like the dick for taking it off.

Wait, they watch movies and shows at work? What kind of workplace is that?

My kind of workplace!

I want a new ultrabook, where do I sign up?

It's a sprinkler, if this is easy to do and secure, whatever. If it is a problem, skip it. How often does someone need to manage the sprinkler?

One has to ask... if a new television series is made, and it doesn't make it to Netflix, did it ever get created?

(If a tree falls in the forest...)

Unless it goes to Hulu, where you get to pay for premium service that still gives you ads. There it will continue being unseen.

Or you can pay even more for no ads. Also, Hulu doesn't have digital surround, so that is my last resort.

It's not a great service. Paying for it at all is bad enough, paying extra is adding insult to injury.

About to get coffee, but feeling like a beer.

Sounds very cool.

Someone ranked Deloitte the top cyber security firm. Ha ha.

oh and our clan was called STD just for that stupid joke that people thought was funny.

Gaming can be so infectious.

Comcast Webmail is also using Zimbra.

Not the best endorsement.

Turns out we have $17K of repairs that are needed.

Holy hell.
