It ought to use Twitter as the medium, without explaining to anyone what is creating those tweets....

Hadn’t though of that. What’s the advantage?

I read where some have equipped themselves with medieval type weapons. Bows, arrows, machetes...
Not very effective with things getting worse daily. Bet the thugs have already found guns.

I'm seriously considering moving to linux. Programmed using windows tools for years but went Galt when Obama appeared on the scene. I've had a lingering interest in robotics for years. May get back into something if we change administrations.

Linux has caught on like mad... it’s the ultimate do it yourself platform. People who want their hands held (most) or who absolutely must have some special commercial package (a few) can still use Winders.

Looters looting Looters. You can't get any better than that.

He wouldn't let even the Guard bring their guns into the city!
No one but his police are allowed firearms. Paranoid, much he is...

And funny thing, the Linux movement really got going thanks to the efforts of that screaming liberal, Richard Stallman, who invented the quasi-libertarian GPL license. Nobody ever hears from Stallman today outside of the tech world. He’d doubtless stump for Barack Obama if asked, but is never seen in those circles. I kind of wish he would, it would bring ridicule upon lefties. The GPL is his forte, but just about everything else he advocates for is just plain stupid and silly.

and a nice warm oven. Without power, the sprinklers can't be working. These places are fire traps. Tent cities should be set up until power is restored.

I'm thinking it's time to jump ship alright. Especially with what I'm thinking of getting into. Used to build business apps with large data backends and ported many to the web. Have a mechanical background that would go well with my coding abilities. No hurries though... Waiting to see what happens Tuesday!

Not in NYC, where you have to go to a laundromat to wash clothes and bedding, and that can cost you $20 right there. Many of these people live in areas where there are no markets, just little bodegas selling soda, beer, chips and twinkies.

Time to grab the shotgun, fuel up the generator, and check the boarded windows and doors for any signs of zombies attempting a break-in.
Nite all...

The guts of Linux are more straightforward and elegant than those of Windows, in my view. If you get in as root, absolutely nothing is hidden or forbidden to you, at least in principle. Of course practical processes do not run as root, they run as users with circumscribed permissions. I’m sure Windows aficionados would disagree on the elegance, but that’s neither here nor there. The performance is very similar for both platforms, and a wealth of database programming support is available in Linux.
