Re:I think..."We don't need no stinkin' badges." -- Jerry Orbach. R.I.P.
Not Orbach. It's a famous line from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
Here. You can even hear it. -

Re:We don't need no stinkin badges!Badges? We don't need no stinkin badges!
I, for one, am getting fed up aboot the continued mispelling in this famous quote. It's "steenking".From the Stinking Badges home page:
The Treasure of The Sierra Madre, ((C) 1935) by B. Traven
There's a sound clip from the 1948 movie on that page, and that doesn't sound like "steenking" either."Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabron and ching' tu madre!"

InterestingFact : GNAA is dying
It is official; TrollKore confirms: GNAA is dying One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered GNAA community when IDC confirmed that GNAA market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent TrollKore survey which plainly states that GNAA has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. GNAA is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Sexual Asspussy to predict GNAA's future. The hand writing is on the wall: GNAA faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for GNAA because GNAA is dying. Things are looking very bad for GNAA. As many of us are already aware, GNAA continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Homosexual Rights is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Homosexual Rights developers Slashdot Editors only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Homosexual Rights is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Free Love leader Theo De Raadt states that there are 7000 users of Free Love. How many users of Gay Pride are there? Let's see. The number of Free Love versus Gay Pride posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Gay Pride users. First Posting posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Gay Pride posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of First Posting. A recent article put Homosexual Rights at about 80 percent of the GNAA market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Homosexual Rights users. This is consistent with the number of Homosexual Rights Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of GNAA Illuminati, abysmal sales and so on, Homosexual Rights went out of business and was taken over by Worthless Scumbags who sell another troubled OS. Now Worthless Scumbags is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that GNAA has steadily declined in market share. GNAA is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If GNAA is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. GNAA continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, GNAA is dead.
Fact: GNAA is dying

Congratulations on being Microsoft-free!
And Apple-free, as well. Welcome to the world of free software!
As a habitual critic of some of your writing, I will hope that the end of this struggle means that you will now have more time to reflect on and think through the philosophical issues of what you are writting, rather than having to struggle with pppd.
:^)Now that you've made the conversion, it would be interesting if you could tell us about how you find Linux to work for you as a writer. What were you using to write before? What are you using now? Have you converted to the emacs religion, the vi religion, or are you using a WYSIWYG application? How did you choose? What issues are you encountering as a non-programmer writer in Linux? Do you in practice have to return to the Land of Bill for publications insisting on submissions in Word(tm) format?
(At least this should eliminate stupid flamage about Microsoft "Smart Quotes"[sic]
...)While Linux is larger than Emacs, at least Linux has the excuse that it needs to be.

Re:Old Woz storiesFunny you should mention GameBoy Tetris and Woz. i live in Sunnyvale and go to a lot of shows at the nearby Mountain View Shoreline Amphitheater.
Woz has box seats there (i believe he was one of the early investors in the Amphitheater, maybe back in the days of the US Festivals?). [They're mostly owned by Valley companies. The placard on his box just says "Woz". Too cool.
:-} ( Box Seat #17 if you care to look.)]Anyhoo, a co-worker said that she had often seen him there at Lilith Fair, and that during the slow moments in the show, he would be playing Tetris with a friend of his, the two Gameboys linked together.
A few months later, at the Bridge School Benefit, he actually was down in the seats near us to get a closer look at/listen to Fastball, and then the Barenaked Ladies. Of course i had to have my friend pass Pilot to him and got him to autograph it.
