Happy Birthday Travis! :)

Microsoft was thinking about it, but they haven't based any of their operating systems on UNIX, yet. They were thinking about doing so for the server market. Then system administrators can learn one set of CLI commands and be able to use it on any server machine. But MS didn't do it. :(...

That's wild. That must have been a real pain trying to find enough bullion to buy a house. :lol: Well, back then, bullion was a lot cheaper, so yeah, probably wouldn't hurt to keep or sell those coins.

Charts for GLD, a gold ETF fund and VTSAX, a total stock market index fund. Look at how gold is flat, trading within a range. Look at how VTSAX is going up. Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets! :Ohno: Gold is a rich man's game now, not safe for the average, small investor.

A few cards from our Puritan friends... :lol:

Asian countries have a long tradition of buying gold, because of a traditional distrust for their country's money. It would be unusual for them not to buy gold at any price. India has a long tradition of buying gold for wedding dowry's. That's why gold demand is always so strong there...

Spaceports The Space Review: essays and commentary about the final frontier

This is one of the reasons I'm optimistic about the next 30 years. Companies are preparing, right now, to head out there and start building the Space Economy. SpaceX has ambitious goals of establishing a colony on Mars within 15 years. Very, very ambitious. With Elon Musk and SpaceX leading...

I have to say, it's kind of good to ask people and learn about this, because it gives me answers to questions... at which point I can just put it away. Helps me get over it and move on.

Sorry, no, it was a project begun by a Finn named Linus Torvalds. It did not use any UNIX code at all. It was a group of programmers who donated their time and expertise to build a new operating system that would be similar to UNIX. It was intentionally designed and coded to work and look...

At the command-line level UNIX and Linux (actually two different operating systems coded from the ground up by different sets of people), operate very much alike. Many schools use Linux to teach UNIX-like operating systems, since they are so similar. They are not, technically, the same...

If I'm going to do your homework, I want payment. ;)

Probably doesn't include mobile meth labs. A co-worker once told me about how a pickup truck with a camper lid was driving past his house and suddenly caught fire. The driver and passenger fled while the truck was a huge fire in his yard. He did say that that patch of grass was...

LOL The White House...

Welcome to AllDeaf! :wave:

When I was growing up, my beagle stole a cinnamon roll off my breakfast plate while I was reading the newspaper. lol I'd have two on the plate. I'd eat one as I read, then grasp for the next one and it was gone. I looked over at my dog's rug in the corner and there she is, scarfing down a...

Yep. And she also said that if I had been enrolled in a different city in my state, that hearing impaired program did teach sign language and used interpreters (in addition to teaching speech). But parents in the city I was in did not know that. They thought the option was oral-only or...

These are normal feelings that just about every deaf/hoh person feels at some point. My own solution is to get out to National Technical Institute of the Deaf (in the U.S.) and learn sign, take classes there, and get involved in the deaf community there. You might find your own way of...

I advise against this. If there is a manager, inform the manager of the building. If no manager, lodge a complaint with police. Also write in a journal what he does and when. This is helpful if you have to take it up with authorities. The reason I say don't go to his place to talk is...
