Re: Microsoft Linux Distro
When I worked for a living the company standardized on Microsoft products. We used the Outlook Mail/Calendar software extensively. It had some pretty nifty features. Thunderbird has similar features these days, but unless you are running Mozilla software on your machine, you can't share calendars or...

Re: Microsoft Linux Distro
People pay big bucks to use their butchered up software ... that's how they get away with it.

I wonder if St Vandal (George) uses any of these places.

My gods. That's so cute.
Re: palm oil
It seems that if you leave people to their own devices, more often than not they will consume what their body needs at the moment. As far as harming the animals goes, it's either them or us. It's a no-brainer if you ask me.

Re: Keeping Current
Tangents are fine, Gary. It's those sines and cosines we have to look after.

Microsoft Linux Distro
Yes, you read that right. The last thing in the world I ever expected is for Microsoft to create a Linux kernel and use it to run its products. But, sure as shootin' that is exactly what the boys in Redmond did. It's not going to be mobile or desktop oriented, however. The current release is primar...

For Crying Out Loud
I'm guessing we all have cried out loud at some point in our life. Have you done it outside? Deliberately? Just to relieve the stress? If so, then you must know some places are better than others to engage in this activity. Apparently the folks in Seattle are really into crying. They made a map of t...
Re: saxon
The Cricklers I like are the ones based on current events (there are others). They give the link to the story which you can read to make the puzzle easier to solve. The best part is that when you enter a correct word, the letters from that word fill in other words in the puzzle. Try doing THAT with ...

Re: wee flowers.
I just hate when spider hairs get stuck between my toes.

Oh. The tree huggers don't like it. I get it now.

Re: Keeping Current
At Motorola, a global company, inventory control was critical to the success of the business. SAP was popular, but it had a couple competitors which were used within the global operations. Huge sectors of the company could not share date electronically because of the companies who thought they had b...
Re: saxon
I love crosswords, but don't get around to doing them much. My antics in the world of geekiness helps keep my brain fresh and dry. Wife, on the other hand, plays online games, such as scrabble and Words With Friends. She also does jigsaw puzzles. If you are looking for something different that will ...

Re: wee flowers.
I'd be worried about stepping on spiders hiding in them
Re: palm oil
I'm sure there are a billion ways to get around any food labeling laws. Having 200 names for the same ingredient must be one of them. So ... what's the down side of palm oil? If I'm not allergic to it, why should I care?

Re: Keeping Current
I'm only slightly surprised at the story of digitized healthcare. Somewhere in the Obama Era it was officially decided that it would be a great idea if all individual healthcare information could be transportable. Laws and orders were put in place to do away with paper/film records and replace them ...
Re: saxon
You're probably right. You are not as sharp as you used to be. But, us over-forty folks tend to be that way. I think it's a good thing that you use the computer and get out a lot. It exercises the brain and prevents atrophy. My idea is to use what I have (left) to its fullest. Very few regrets doing...

I DID make a joke of it ... but not intentionally.

Re: Keeping Current
Red Had was invented for business, and I'm not surprised that contract support is available. Linux in general is a kid's toy as far as mission critical enterprise operations go. You will find some Linux servers in large corporations, but the backbone of America is more UNIX/POSIX. Retail groceries p...
