The naughty characters are punished for their sins. Naughty characters are those involved in the creation of naughty words, such as "breast," "sex" and "contraception." 04:06 <toddc> The Buddhist explanation: If a character has lived rightly, and its karma is good, then after it has been deleted it will be reincarnated as a different, higher character. Those funny characters above the numbers on your keyboard will become numbers, numbers will become letters, and lower-case letters will become upper-case. 04:06 <toddc> The 20th-century bitter cynical nihilist explanation: Who cares? It doesn't really matter if they're on the page, deleted, undeleted, underlined, etc. It's all the same. 04:06 <toddc> The Mac user's explanation: All the characters written on a PC and then deleted go to straight to PC hell. If you're using a PC, you can probably see the deleted characters, because you're in PC 04:07 <toddc> Stephen King's explanation: Every time you hit the (Del) key you unleash a tiny monster inside the cursor, who tears the poor unsuspecting characters to shreds, drinks their blood, then eats them, bones and all. Hah, hah, hah! 04:07 <toddc> Dave Barry's explanation: The deleted characters are shipped to Battle Creek, Michigan, where they're made into Pop-Tart filling; this explains why Pop-Tarts are so flammable, while cheap imitations are not flammable. I'm not making this up. 04:07 <toddc> IBM's explanation: The characters are not real. They exist only on the screen when they are needed, as concepts, so to delete them is merely to de-conceptualize them. Get a life. 04:07 <toddc> PETA's (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) explanation: You've been DELETING them??? Can't you hear them SCREAMING??? Why don't you go CLUB some BABY SEALS while wearing a MINK, you pig!!!! 04:08 <toddc> Local linux Jobs 04:08 <toddc> software dev 04:08 <toddc> https://www.sofmen.com/ 04:08 <toddc> Canonical has 119 open positions 04:08 <toddc> https://canonical.com/careers/all? 04:09 <toddc> AWS Arizona jobs 347 lopen jobs many remote some local 04:09 <toddc> https://www.amazon.jobs/en/job_categories/software-development 04:09 <toddc> Western Semiconductor In Tempe has several it openings dealing with AI development 04:10 <toddc> WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPER 04:10 <toddc> ASU Tempe 04:10 <toddc> Operational Support Associates 04:10 <toddc> www.pdworkforce.com 04:10 <toddc> Spot Light 04:10 <toddc> Steam On Linux Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS 04:10 <toddc> https://www.phoronix.com/news/Steam-Stats-July-2023 04:11 <toddc> UP COMING EVENTS is brought to us by MajB tonight! 04:11 <MajB> AZLOCO Events and Activities: Because of the Covid-19 virus, many events are being held virtually on Big Blue Button, https://bbb.azloco.net . 04:11 <MajB> Detailed information with map locations can be found on our web site https://www.azloco.org/az-team-calendar/. 04:11 <MajB> 10 August, Sierra Vista Ubuntu Hour, 1800-1900, Schlotzsky's Cafe, 3900 Fry Blvd., Sierra Vista.
