    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/28/hector-morejon-police-shooting_n_7165106.html "Mommy, Mommy, please come, please come." But they're not monsters, right?

    Desktop Linux is dead....

    Forget Linux Servers, they are still the king, but desktop Linux is dead dead dead. Blame Unity or Ubuntu's decision to force it down consumer's throats, or blame GNOME for blowing the development of GDE3, it doesn't matter....Linux for the average desktop user is dead. Thoughts?

    Midnight Mountain Time?

    Is there a maintenance period, or DB job or something that runs at midnight mountain time every night? Seems every night I lose POA for about 2 minutes right at midnight. Its like clockwork too, and everything else works fine, so its not my connection.

    La Revolution...

    Why isn't this in Spin Zone? Because its not political, and its not argumentative, nor likely to become highly charged - its a mere question of "How much is too much," and "Will we ever do anything?" This isn't tin foil hat stuff, this is real life stuff now. I think we may have let the...

    Using AF1 Call Sign

    Is there a law against using the Air Force 1 callsign during flight? For example, should I fly into an airport and report up "Air Force One, inbound," have I broken a law. Assume I'm not actually flying Air Force One.

    RV7A Model?

    Is there a place anyone knows of where I can buy a model kit for an RV7A? I haven't put together a model plane since I was like 8, but I think it'd be a fun project for me to take on.

    Need a physicist to help with this one...

    My brain is hurting trying to understand this one. I'm sure there's an explanation in the Theory of Relativity that I am missing, as this is mostly a Relativity issue. Assumptions: 1. There are 4 viewpoints: A, B, C, D 2. Light always travels at the speed of light 3. Nothing travels faster...

    Which LSA is best for me?

    My medical expires at the end of April. Due to a slew of health issues that I predict will probably keep me from getting my medical renewed as a class 3 (don't ask, I really don't want to rehash them, but 5 years is a loooong time looking back)... So - I'm probably going to go LSA now...

    Corporate Reimbursement Exceeding Cost...

    Any violations here: I am going to be doing a business trip on Friday, my employer has agreed to reimburse at the standard rate as if I had driven. My costs: ~$300 Reimbursement: ~$320 Is that kosher?

    Bounced Paycheck

    Someone close to me (not my wife) just had their paycheck bounce. They make very little money, and because of the bounced paycheck, their checking account went negative, so they have some NSF fees. He is scheduled to work today. If he refuses to work until they reimburse him, can they fire...

    Vitamin D Deficiency and other Medical Topics

    I went to the doctor for a much needed checkup, and he decided I needed a BUNCH of tests. Pooped in a tube, peed in a jar, bleed in a vial, and got some shots. Met again with the doc today and got the following results (just the bad stuff): Fasting Glucose: 100 (reference 70-99) - only a...

    Ultralight...

    I'm considering building an ultralight....any suggestions: 1. Gotta have an enclosed cockpit, at least in the front, to avoid getting birds in my face and to help me deal with my fear of heights. 2. Gotta be able to hold 260 pounds of sexy man beast. 3. Preferably metal, although I would be...

    New grammar pet peeve

    To add to my existing pet peeves of "all the sudden," "should of," and a plethora of others.... "What happen?" The only logical response is, of course, "somebody set up us the bomb." But these people are not referring to AYB. Apparently, people have crossed the line of stupidity to not even...
