| I also use the gnewsense operating system, and I think it is very impressive in most respects - bash shell, word processing, text editing, pdf reading, internet browsing/creating software, USB key support, cd writing, audio playing, never crashing, etc. However, there are some major limitations.

| Does anyone else get upset that Christmas is held at the wrong time of year in the Southern Hemisphere? If my thinking is correct, the whole purpose of having a celebration on December 22nd (in the Northern Hemisphere), is to celebrate the increasing hours of daylight that bring better living condit... |

| I used to believe in global warming, but now I have become rather sceptical. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has gone up phenomenally since a century and a half ago, from about 280ppm to 380ppm, and yet the temperature has only gone up on average by less than a degree. Also the temper... |

| I have definitely hated the schooling I've received as well. It is frustrating being told what to learn and at what pace to learn it at. Also the enforced discipline is stupid and pointless - formal wear, tucking in shirts, not being allowed to talk while in class for 90% of the time. The administra... |

This is what I got:
Your Brain is 20% Female, 80% Male
You've got the brain of a manly man
Feelings, schmeelings... tears aren't for you.

A great problem solver, nothing ever phases you. |

| A main raison d'etre is to keep pondering for what purpose (if there is a purpose) we all exist in the first place. On a somewhat related point, I think it is quite fascinating that hydrogen and helium are thought to be the only two original elements to exist at the beginning of time. Also it is har... |

| I have started growing vegies for a few months now. My successes were a great big wall of parsley (650 g worth), lots of lettuce (although it is hard to grow them now because it is late spring and the sun is fierce) and a few potatoes. Right now, I am growing a line of carrots and of beetroot, some ... |
