Hey, I've written CmdrTaco but didn't hear back or anything- do you guys at Geeks In Space want any music composed for you, stuff to throw in or anything? I'm serious- I've been a slashdotter from way back and I have this killer studio now and I'd like to do some giving back. I totally relate to 'gift culture' when it comes to my music. Seems like that's the natural way for it to go.
And, you know, I'd also really really like the opensource-like benefit of status and appreciation- but ya know it seems like that's going to happen anyhow regardless on account of I don't suck:) "Dog" debuted at 54 (out of over 10,000) on the mp3.com instrumental rock charts! And it's still there and sneaking slowly up the main charts- in fact it's on page two of the instrumental rock chart webpages, and that's from a totally new artist who's never been seen on mp3.com before. "Horse" is also quite good but I think "Dog" is the breakout hit. They're both going to be heard a lot- they're both free- they're both licensed for radio station play, for that matter.
So can I do anything for Geeks In Space? I really like it. I also have this monster studio from hell going, and there are a lot of neat sounds and effects and riffs and things I could give Geeks In Space. Whaddya need?
...to sneak up into my room under cover of darkness and put ether over my face and to do terrible thing and photograph them and put them on the Internet...
That had to be one of the best "reason-not-to-piss-off-the-scary-psychotic-guy"-t ype things I've ever heard.
Anyway, version numbering in certain free software projects can sometimes tend toward the dizzying. It seems as though whenever they release a new version, rather than incrementing the version number, as a normal person would expect, they add another significant figure to it. This is what leads to things like "Perl five dot oh oh five oh four" (which caused all kilnds of pain for my project at SGI, where I no longer work).
Reluctance to increment the more significant digits in favor of the less significant ones also leads to "Linux two dot one dot sixty-five thousand, five hundred and thirty-five". (They only bumped it up to "two dot two dot oh" to avoid a sixteen-bit overflow on some of the older architectures.) Then again, I guess it's not as bad as Windows skipping 91.9 versions a few yaers back.
By the way, I'm pretty sure "...it was Earth all along", not "us".
Finally, about Comedy Central: South Park and The Daily Show -- Yep, that's pretty much it. But we can't forget The Man Show, which fills part of the gap left by Dick Dietrich's Night Stand, or Win Ben Stein's Money which makes the (as far as I know) unprecedented accomplishment of being a game show that's actually entertaining.

First of all, IJLS:

Totally, I can't miss it now. Give me my adult anime (and that's mature not pr0n). I just built my own Gundam from one of those kits. TOONAMI Uncut!

Geeks in Space just score 5 more points in culture, and 3 for style.
It was great, it was powerful, and spontaneous.
Carlos loved it!!!
