  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Kid told me that he just watched "some crazy old movie" about how a kid hacked into NORAD.

    I swear my kid thinks we were all hand starting our Ford Model-Ts before 2012 (his birthday).

    Kinda like I perceive the 70s I guess. The dark ages, the before time before I existed.

    Completely off topic to the thread, but you just reminded me of a time I snuck onto a movie set and got to actually do that. I posed as a driver for the car company and got to start/drive one of those bad boys with the hand crank. Inside was all switches too which was wild. The most uncomfortable ride of my life.

    My kids are convinced that we didn't have cars when I was a kid. I was explaining to them what the before GPS times were like.

    The dark time before time existed.

    I remember time before time existed, on cold winter mornings we'd gather around in front of our Model T and turned that crank just below the grill.
    Back then we also had to crank-watch television in black and white, uphill, backwards both ways, during snowstorms... just to get to bed.
