| I often think this. I started with 1.5.2 (java) and still go back and play that. Although, I do play the latest too. If anyone is interested in having a 1.5.2 server let me know, I'd be interested. I have a realm now that had friends, but everyone seems to move on, leaving me alone. Well, only seems... |

| Is inability to gauge people's interest a common ASD trait, or is that just lack of social skills? I ask as I have known many people who probably were on the spectrum, primarily from my academia days, who would go on and on about uninteresting things at lunch with no regard for how bored and uninter... |

| Welcome! I am also a unix person. Linux/*BSD FTW! Thanks Cactusman. Highly appreciated. I did a lot of shell scripting and with crontab scripts (UNIX system V: 1985-1997) I made myself superfluous :D Ha! Me too! My Debian linux servers are still running fine at my old job although they didn't hire ... |

| Hi blazingstar, thank you! South Florida is a neat place and not just for ants and plants. I sort of got obsessed with going home and spent, well, years looking for jobs back where I grew up. But i think it's true, you can't go home again. And I am not smarter than you or anyone. I only enjoy math a... |
