    The fact that it was reviewed by a guy named Gonzo John certainly lends it an air of credibility.

      Could be really cool if it was by Dr. Gonzo...
      "We has two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers.... A quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls..."
      and a linux desktop to review... We can't stop here, this is daemon country!

    If you say the name out loud, you are required to shout the word "DESKTOP." It's in the EULA.

    ... I realized that they are trying to defend theirselves legally from DRM module suppliers' wraith ...
    I knew DRM was evil. Now companies using it are sending out their undead minions to enforce the EULA. If it was just zombies or even ghouls, we would be OK I suppose...
