So this is how it goes. I post a song from a group/artist that is my favorite by the same. Then I list 3 other groups/artists I'm interested in hearing other opinions from for a favorite. Now, you either reply in kind to my original or listed group/artists or wait for a group/artist of your...
I can say unequivocally that Google and Amazon are the two worst companies in the world. Both are a massive invasion of privacy. Even on Linux I find it amazing how much they want to infiltrate a computer...with or without your permission. I don't know how Amazon did it but they can put stuff on...

So a few weeks back I read about the demise of the Mandrake/Mandriva Linux distro. Got me to wondering just how long a Linux distro lasts in the real world. Then this week I stumble across two distros, SparkyLinux (with 4 different front ends!) and Manjaro (sounds like a spaghetti western) based...

Soon it won't matter, everybody's info will be stolen and shit will hit the fan. Sometimes too much digital is a bad thing. I know it's supposed to save money but putting people's personal info and lives at risk is a...
