    Sure. I'll switch to Apache for Linux when Linux becomes as easy to use as Windows.

    Mr. Yuri Gagarin outdid him by actually going into space first. Cheers. So who cares if its the same "John Carmack" idiot who managed to create a hype around Doom 3 which I still firmely believe to be a Daikatana sized flop when /is it is going to be released. What's next on slashdot? "John Carmack buys new car!" or something like "John Carmack expels methane from his anus!"
