    Yes, but the big question I have about Steve Jobs is "Does he run Linux?"

    If apple is canceling a show on such an international basis, this cant be good for their pr. Their new video editing system is easily underpriced and overpowered by the New Sgi's, and (pause for drama) it has a dvd burner? Give me a break. This is just another nail in the coffin.

    I'm sure there will be a Super Bowl, but the tight security at the one during the Gulf War will pale in comparison to what is forthcoming.

    I'm sure a good many people who will be planning the security have read The Sum of All Fears, and think of it as a worst-case scenario. This year we'll probably see fighter jets patrolling the skies for a good distance around the stadium, and possibly a military presence providing security on the ground. Metal detectors at every entrance. We'll probably see much the same at the Olympics in SLC.

    like -1 Dumbass for example

    True, but why only name your own category?

    • Off the top of my head:
    • Tried to be funny, but failed: -1
    • Might be true, might be insiteful, but I don't wanna hear it, d'ya hear!: -1.
    • Eye don' like some bludy furriner critisizing my true blue, lone star, 'merican views: -1
    • Can't think, can't spell, can annoy a little: -1.
    • Aaim two bloody boozed up two care: random(-1,0,+1)
    • And for metamoderation
    • Moderator might find it insightful, and from their point of view it might be, but their point of view is off.
    • It is offtopic, but it raises an important point which can never be addressed, unless such a discussion would be started, which might happen when pigs go aviatory.

      • Ok, if i'd really think about it I would come up with more, and only serious ones, but I'll stop for the nonce.
