    As a Canadian, I will always find that absolutely unbelievable about American private health care … when someone or a family is at their lowest and during the most terrible times of their lives and health care people go up to them and say … ‘We’re sorry for your suffering and your loss … but here’s the medical bill you owe money on’






  • Beautiful work … I wish my school had done that when I was a kid.

    The great thing about it is that now you are helping to generate a new crop of kids who will learn how to use Linux. Sure, they will try to do stupid things on it like install games or figure out how to bypass things or install or uninstall … the great thing about that is that they will learn how to use the system in order to try to break it. It’s the same way I learned how to use Linux and probably the same way you learned how to use it.

    You’ve advanced the computer department for those kids more than you know.


  • That’s one of the great things about switching to Linux … it forces you to learn something new and for kids that is a very good thing.

    All those kids in the school that OP described were getting stagnant in a settled environment of living in Windows … now that they have Linux in front of them, they will go on to learn how to subvert the system under Linux. It’s not a bad thing in my opinion, it will create a whole crop of kids who now know how to fool around with Windows AND Linux.

    I wish someone would have introduced me to Linux when I was kid.

    I’ve been sitting here for ten minutes trying to read your happy face marching emoji man.

    Those characters are a variation of syllabics used by many algonquin and Inuit indigenous languages. Best I could come up with was PEE-AH-POO … which means nothing to me … I speak my Ojibway Cree language, it’s my first language before English … I went through my vocabulary trying to figure out what the characters meant … then I realized what it was.

    Lol … thanks for Happy Emoji Marching Man
