HP Selling Systems With Linux

They're shipping machines pre-installed with Red Hat 7.1. Unfortunately, checking their website shows that only business machines will have a Linux option; home machines are still WinXP only."

    Please send me a small percentage of the doobies you are smoking -- I think even a small percentage of such an obviously large amount will more than suffice for my needs.

    Irregardless would mean "not regardless", Ir- being a negational prefix. It's a common grammatical error, although the dictionary will list it as correct "nonstandard" English.
