Re: Linux News
I've still never owned a smart phone. My current phone is a 7 1/2 year old Samsung A717. The other day, I dropped it, and it quit working. I switched to a spare battery (actually, it was the phone's original battery, which I had replaced a few years ago), put it on the charger, and got it going agai...

Re: BOOK! (Hardcopy edition)
I'm currently reading Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King. I'm about a third of the way in and enjoying it very much.

Re: How do you like to install an OS?
I really love the Gentoo stage3 method. It makes me feel "in touch" with what is being done.

Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography
I watched the new The Hobbit movie with my son, the other night. Meh. They sacrificed all of the literary plot to make a spectacular action movie - almost like a superhero comic book.

Re: Electric Guitar
I love many, many guitar cuts, but this is one of my very favorites. Billy Gibbons can really make a guitar speak.

Re: New Year's computer resolutions?
Well, it's not really a New Year resolution, because I just got it for Christmas, but I wanted to try an SSD. Harvey Hunt helped me choose a Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB. I installed it physically the day after Christmas, and I think I installed Arch onto it the same day. In the long run, it's no differen...

Re: The Netherlands
My favorite Dutch group was Golden Earring. I was discussing them with rust_collector, last night, and I discovered that Kiss and Aerosmith used to be opening acts for them.

Didn't remember The Pusher? I can still play it in my head, hearing it just like it was on a stereo.

Ah. My favorite Creedence Clearwater Revival song was Susie Q., from early 1968. Wrong year, but great song.
