Winter...
I recently decided to write a sketch about winter. I love this season, and wanted to express my feelings. As it turns out, I ended up writing my own personal feelings. ”As I step out from my home, I stop to breathe the air. I sense the snow, those feathery shards from heaven above, as gently each flake descends to earth. I walk along my path, feeling the caressing touch of the cold,...

I am a Fire-Eater. But I no longer eat fire. Let me tell you how I came to this most depressing point in my life. You see, I have five little sisters.

None of those cheap, grainy cubes you can buy in the big bags at the store. Eww!! So naturally, I must make it myself. I assemble the ingredients, which include brown sugar, corn syrup, condensed milk, and most importantly(and deliciously)...
What’s Wrong with New Linux Users?Posted by JohnP 5 hours ago Simple. They aren’t willing to spend the same amount of time they’ve spent learning some other operating system to learn Linux. I’m happy to help them learn Linux in general (not a specific distribution), provided they display a sincere interest and a burning desire to learn. That doesn’t mean I’ll spoon feed answers for every...
