I'll call it whatever I want, we knew that law had no place within these walls from the offset.

I promised to reduce caloric intake by any means. They're not eating, right? 100% satisfaction.

Why not?

Heaven forbid you allow your brother the right to make choices in his life, especially as to what movies he chooses to watch or not watch.

While I agree that I'll never watch it, respect that other people have their right to choose what they watch or not. *nods*

Mad Mac skills are in demand?

What kind of job? How much does it pay?

(then again, I have Linux skills, those are in high demand anyway :P)

From my brief experience of Linux I'd wager that's because things tend not to "just work" instead of requiring dozens of lines in a terminal, juggling and spinning a frisbee on a pen balanced on your nose :p

Not enough to justify moving to Boston.
Linux may be my weakest OS, but I can at least use it. It's not terribly common though outside of the developer scene, I guess.

Eh, I haven't encountered many developers using Linux recently. Lots of Macs though.

Though all the developers that I've met that use Windows have a virtual machine running Linux :P

Not at all, depending on the distribution.
Carl Sagan, astrophysicist and atheist wrote:"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages,
when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling,
that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...
The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."

I am TET's extremist libertarian scourge.
The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money. ~Margaret Thatcher

Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others. ~Ayn Rand
I am a polyamorous, pansexual, and transgender woman in an open marriage. My passions include history, politics, booze, culture, firearms, and erotica and I have no shame about any of it. Politically I consider myself to be a radical centrist mincap libertarian. I do volunteer work for TransLAWdc.org (me on the left), transequality.org, and translifeline.org. DC Metro? Date me!
