There is a difference between carrying a form of ID to get access to services, and carrying ID so when your walking down the street and you get harassed by the cops you can stop further harassment, impending imprisonment, and deportation. http://articles.latimes.com/2010/mar/31/nation/la-na-court-immigrants1-2010apr01 Like…

I just recently installed the latest test version (I had been staring at the email about it in my inbox for some time, finally got to it today). A lovely thing it did? Force installed an old version of .NET, which in turned screwed up my system. Several of my programs no longer work, a big one being Visual Studio and…
