    The history of this forum...

    Word. ;) I was Mirlyn on HWC and followed the OT-closing crowd. Lurked for a few years and then joined. Slowly started tapering off with the bookfacers. I'm more fond of the twitters and G+ now.

    How's your garden doing?

    We're fighting this year. Tomatoes looked good, but last months hailstorm shredded everything. Killed the lettuce and spinach. Radishes, onions, chard, zucchini, squash and the herbs were pretty bad, but have begun bouncing back this past week. Tomatoes are still about half what they used to be...

    Linux switch? It's time!

    You're asked in the installer if you want auto updates. I believe its default turned off--havent installed the desktop version in over a year. Since the bootloader got updated with a newer kernel, it sounds like the updates are set to install automatically or it was otherwise updated.

    Sounds like you either opted to do the dist upgrade inadvertently or maybe are set to automatically update/upgrade.

    Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords Shot By Gunman

    Can we just pull a Jack Ruby and get this over with? The dude probably wanted attention (a la Lennon) and we're giving it to him.

    Don't ask, don't tell' is no more

    They can and will. Congress hasn't done anything but pass an option to edit the US Code. What the press isn't saying is that this bill does nothing by itself. Unless the President, Sec of Defense, and Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff certify a committee report finding that everyone can play...

    Except, he did no such thing. Perhaps we should read the bill before we congratulate him. ...and why the hell 15 pens? Would like to know who in "the club" got one...

    How much do you think we will hear about this?

    Why does she always have to hit back for every little oopsies? I don't recall Bush taking a swing at the anyone for catching his slip-ups. She's going a little overboard with her constant retaliations. "yeah" is the new correction.

    no cell phone use in cars

    Some low-population areas of Texas have 80mph limits. Can't remember if Montana still has the "whatever speed is safe for conditions" limit.

    Senate Bill S 510: Would outlaw gardening and saving seeds

    If you try to google for this bill, you get many sites with the full text of the proposed bill. If you add "tsa" or "seeds", its an entire page of blogs, no bill text. Hmm.
