So I guess I can count you out as Secretary of Commerce?
Too bad. Well, it isn't a job I'd take either.
Maybe you'd like Secretary of Intransigence. I've always

you begin to realize others would love to deal with the crap while
you're tired of it. So let them. Happiest move I've ever made in my

From what I've heard hydrogen is the best source. It is everywhere
after all. Then there's the moon with it's helium 3. I really don't
know much about it except for the teasers on the science shows. I also
saw on these science shows they are building a fusion reactor
somewhere. I guess
RSYNC and CRON are rock solid, the latter in use for several decades,
the former for many years, thought not several decades.
I use both regularly, RSYNC for backups on my OS X boxes, CRON for a

But we are not doing that now - we subsidize oil prices heavily by
spending other tax dollars on deployments to the Gulf to keep the
