Heck yes, Allan is one of the best! You needn't be a Linux user to be welcome here, we are happy to see you on the board!! Sorry that it took so long for me to see your post, Allan. My definitely bad!

Yes, the top 10% of the top 1%. It's their world, we're tolerated through their nearly total ignorance of our existence. Perhaps this is a blessing? Not really, I'm sure they curse the 99.9% when they remember that they don't own everything. They might as well, the people at the bottom have...

"Until somebody starts doing prison time and companies start paying hefty fines." My sentiment as well. But if bankers get away with murder (and I'm sure a few regular folks have actually died from the crooked actions of banks), it's doubtful that our gummint's 'great friends' in Silicon Valley...

LOL! The spectacle of our "election" will proceed for the benefit of Mr Kite. No, not really. But maybe it should?! Of historic interest to a few oldsters--perhaps?

If you say so why would I argue?

I think your's are ennobling sentiments, Dan~. I can't argue with the way you feel about the topic of voting. I like to think that I give to help folks that are worse off than I am. I don't want to quote figures yet I am sure that many people with far more money than I give far less--if not...

Thank you very much Dan! 3000 years is certainly a valid history, Confucianism and Taoism, I'd think they were as valid as anything else. More so, obviously. That's a long philosophic tradition! Thank you very much for the detailed explanation, it's fascinating!

"My opinion is as valid as anyone else's and vice versa." I think it's fair to state what I think by posting that. Why is my two cents worth more than the next person's? That's one of the good things about democracy. Of course democracy departed from within our shores years ago. At this point...

I don't know how the I-Ching works. If you have the time and inclination, would you give us a hint please, Daniel? I know that it's thousands of years old, but that's all.

What do you want to bet that the scumbag who thought connecting almost everything to the net was doing the world a favor made money on this tip-top idea?

Very interesting and quite deep, thank for your thoughts about this Dan. OTOH, playing devil's advocate here: I'm an idiot if I think my vote really matters. The criminal elite in charge of this country don't care how I feel about their actions. I'm far too small to notice. I don't know who I...

I imagine the second Pentatonix LP was a good purchase. I'm not sure about buying 2Cellos. I think the cello is a beautiful sounding instrument, sorta like if a bass could "speak." Yes, basses do speak but the very low frequency range of basses interferes with their "vocal" ability, imho. Or at...

I don't really know bow "A" from bow "B." I do know that some double bass players like German bows, but more seem to prefer French bows. I've seen four thousand bucks quoted for bass bows. Wonder if the E-Bow works on bass guitar strings? Pentatonix are very impressive. Actually beyond...

No kidding. So far I am Iot-less. Hope to keep it that way. Up your's whoever came up with the "dial home little thermostat, refrigerator or home surveillance gear" idea.
