CentOS Desktop: It Can Be Done
CentOS is a free Linux distro built up from the source packages used for making the commercial RedHat Enterprise Linux distro. RedHat doesn’t actually sell the Linux software, but sells the support services to keep it all running for businesses … Continue reading
The Disaster of “Rolling Release”
I’ve always enjoyed exploring. Every time I’ve moved from one residence to another, I’ve always wandered around my new neighborhood, simply to see what was there. It’s the same with computer technology. I love poking around operating systems. Lately, one … Continue reading
Can’t Be Justified
I can’t support this: Israeli Diplomats Prepare Ground for Gaza Action. When the attack comes, I can’t watch. Israel has the upper hand in every way. So much so, they have to provide their own undercover fake terrorists to launch … Continue reading

She Doesn’t Get It
Jojo Moyes says the scientists are wrong. When their research indicates chick-flix (“romantic comedies”) raise unrealistic expectations, which expectations cause needless conflicts in relationships, she says they don’t realize women know the difference between fiction and reality. Such stories are … Continue reading
Morgellon’s Disease: Shut Up and Eat That GMO
You aren’t supposed to know. The good folks at Monsanto could care less about your well being, they simply want your money. And everyone else’s money, too. So they used DNA technology to modify food purely for market gains. If … Continue reading
