HeliOS Project Brings Linux Technology to the East Side

I want my son to grow up to be just like Ken. Really I would like to grow up to be just like Ken.

When Mr. Starks sat across the table from me very late one night, I knew I was talking to a man with guts and heart. Forget that we are of an age and share a lot of the same background. Ken says Lets do this, lets do that and it happens! He makes it happen! It happens now or in just a minute for the tricky things.

Ken Starks DOES and the rest of us had better get our butts in gear and start doing also!

Except I hope your son gets better haircuts :)

I run away fast now.....

Thank you CP....you make me shuffle my feet and blush.

TC, I spent 20 years getting my haircut every 6 days...I went to the barbershop more than I went to the grocery store...

The army does stuff like that to you.

I haven't cut my hair since I finished my last chemo...and yes, some things never change. When I was 18, I wore my hair long, listened to Ten Years After and parted my hair down the middle. I am now 55 and still wear my hair long, still listen to Ten Years After and it is still parted down the middle. The only difference being is that now that part is 11 inches wide.

Probably not recognise you without your hat.

Good grief, don't any adults post on the Ubuntu forums?

Adults use Debian.

I thought political comment was forbidden here. My comment about the naming of Mepis AntiX (which is political commentary in itself) was pulled. Why is right-wing political baiting permitted then?

If you're going to enforce the "no politics, no religion" in the TOS it needs to be enforced equally on all viewpoints.

Apparently not, my one encounter with them was quite enough. I still have an account on those forums, but it's apparently been disabled, probably because of my irate tirade to the administrator after they deleted my post telling the forum about Felton.

caitlyn it's a side effect of our requirement for logical thought processes, we encourage the use of it ... /humor /sarcasm /lols

I wondered what happened to that, damn I was going to have some fun with that.

Caitlyn, I didn't get a Political comment out of what he said, just good old fashion insults, not much I can do about that unless he starts cursing up a storm..

Is it just me or does Helios attract those types that beat up on people (physically or verbally)?

@nicsmr, probably, check out his photo.

I did... Looks like he's done a round or two with some guys I knew. Disease will do that to a person.

All kidding aside It seems to me that Ken is a magnet for these guys.

Recently with the teacher and now with these/this guy.

caitlyn -

Politics is wherever you look for it.

Of course, that could be interpreted as an unacceptable comment advocating religion, because it is a version of you find what you're looking for, which is just a modernized "Seek, and ye shall find", which can be found in Matthew 7:7.

If I mention wonderful warm March weather today, it might be seen as an attempt to promote awareness of global warming. Or to downplay the negative impact of global warming.

It's late afternoon, but WHOOPS!! Am I saying that the time to act is now?

I give up.

Wait....doesn't that mean...

@nicsmr, he's passionate, very very passionate. That gets up the nose of some people, especially when you consider that he's passionate about stuff that really does cause those types to react out of fear and uncertainty due to their doubt.

I'd have to agree with you 100% there. But there is a time to NOT have the last word. and that is when your physical well being is being threatened.

We have a saying up here.

You're Right... Dead, but right.

Be careful who you p**s off, Ken. Too many crazies out there.

That's all I have to say about it.

Ken is more of a target because he's out there in the world talking to people in meatspace, and doing the best kind of activism, which is face-to-face and hands-on. Not sitting at home behind a computer, sniping at other people on, oh say for example, the Ubuntu forums.

TC --

Or, to put it a tiny bit more succinctly, Ken is a target because he is effective.

[quote[If I mention wonderful warm March weather today[/quote]

There is nothing warm about the blizzard going on outside.

The nail that stands up gets pounded down.

In my experience, if you're willing to stand up for what you believe, you automatically become a weasel magnet.

@tc - yes, doing meatspace is hard! It don't come easy to us autistic geek types.

Sorry, here in Illinois we are having lovely spring nature. Perhaps the little weather elves decided that, between the Cubs, Bears, Blagojevich, Burris, and the US Olympic Committee, we have been through enough lately.
