On a different matter @IRJ how good is Cricket's service been?

Been nagging my women to get a smart phone but she thinks they are expensive, when she spends $30/month for a dumb phone and text.

We love it! It uses AT&T service so coverage isn't an issue for us.

I prefer my women with poor coverage 😉

That's why I always carry a tinfoil hat.

it happens... I go to hit WinLogo + L to lock and end up hitting WinLogo+<enter>

+1 if you hit WinLogo+Enter to see what it did...

I did, hadn't used that before, and now I know why 😛

Think about a closet. If you have five shirts, you need a closet to put them in. But not a big closet. Making the closet bigger will not speed up finding your shirt in the morning. And if you then have to clean the closest and sometimes you lose your shirt in it because it is so big, it actually slows you down. An unnecessarily large closet actually hurts you instead of helps you. But if you sometimes need a thousand shirts stored in there, you might determine that having a big closet is worth the wasted space and energy to handle the occasions when loads of shirts arrive and need to be stored.

Linuxtoday.com is a decent aggregation.

Happy belated, @scottalanmiller.

To go back in time knowing likes and dislikes but having no knowledge of the time forward... pointless for me.

My interest vary to such degree that it is likely that the path taken would be much different.

@IRJ Cocoa beach is nice!

@scottalanmiller said in File Deletion after x amount of time CentOS 7:

Even if there is a policy that the users are supposed to clean up files, unless there is also a policy that says that IT is tasked to enforce this through forced deletion, I would stay away from this completely. There is a huge different between "users are supposed to clean things up" and "IT has decided to start deleting things." Never take enforcement into your own hands.

I agree, same thing as if your reporting has told you a user is watching youtube all day, you report it up and have management deal with it. You don't go adjusting your content filter.

You know if you go to that post and look on the comments, I'm on there from before.

Looks pretty cool.

I'm surprised he's legally allowed to do this. Aren't there all kinds of laws about this?

It's really no different then the Tesla Autopilot. It controls steering and speed. As long as he is behind the wheel and not distracted, in most states, then he is probably fine.

So it still can't do the one thing it needs to do... drive me home drunk. I'll keep waiting, I have no use for an "autonomous" car that I have to pay attention to and babysit.

Pretty much yes. I don't think that is necessarily a technical limitation but maybe a legal limitation.

And I'm not holding my breath for the law to catch up with common sense... like so many other laws.

Pretty soon you might need to use a breathalyzer to start your robot

I have a friend that I worked with in IT years ago, he was a junior manager under me at Dell for a few years, who was one of the kids who lived in Chernobyl and was evacuated.

Never heard "Backpfeifengesicht". "Backpfeife" is an older word for "slap in the face". "Gesicht" can be directly translated to "face". Backpfeifengesicht is like saying "got a slap in the face in my face". Weird.

Oh, wait. Seems to be a 1999 song from "Die Ärzte" (the doctors), a German pop-punk band.

What comes way closer to the "d*ckhead'" mentioned in the video is "Arschgesicht" - literally "B*tthead".

Why birthday and community member's names are not good tags

Clearly with community member names or things like birthdays, the answer is no. No one will have a general interest or want to follow "all topics about birthdays." But they will want to follow "all topics about Windows 2016".

While I do agree with this, why does this exist? I did not make said topic.
https://mangolassi.it/tags/jared busch

It's a tag for speakers and content creators. e.g. if someone is looking for content by "Jared Busch" in the context of conference speaker, book writer or so forth - not as community member. If that makes sense.

Happy Birthday Art.
