first post... whiskydan is gay
The Fnords were spinning in their graves. The goddess felt this and appeared before them.
"Fnords, why must you pester me so?" she questioned.
"Madam!" one exclaimed, "At first we thought we were fucking with you, we have now realized that it is you who fucks with us!"
The goddess frowned.
"If it were your fate to state the obvious I wouldn't have visited you."
The Fnords spoke amongst themselves as Eris folded her arms in disapproval.
"Whatever it is you demand from us, goddess, shall be yours."
"I don't *demand* anything of you mongrels!!" she scolded.
This confused the hell out of the Fnords and they stood speechless. With a flick of her toenail, Eris evaporated into the night.
The goddess returned to her post and began prodding her pineal gland.
"It's got to be here somewhere", she muttered.
Moments later the ecstatic shrieks of The Prettiest One interrupted the sleep of dozens of rabid canines. She opened her eyes, re-enlightened, and energetic. Her nose tasted the air, something strange and unknown tickled her senses and she started forward to investigate. Treaching through her garden of snail shells and orange peels was a pack of cat-sized dogs, sniffing and poking where they hadn't belonged. The goddess raised an eyebrow, whispered a vulgarity, and turned away for a walk.
In the wake of The Prettiest One lay the hollowed carcasses of her beastly visitors.
In response Debian has announced plans to give away their Debian GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd products free of charge to anyone that wants to download them. See http://www.debian.org for more info! These are exciting times we live in huh?
You, sir, are an idiot.

Wow, *nix does this every day, and not just to schools, to everyone. Apple has some catching up to do.
I notice the new aqua-type design... running OSX now?

Owl, I have one word for you: Lithium. It works great for those mood swings.
Apple is serving every xbox developer too! ;-)
Belief is the currency of delusion.
+2 Interesting? Like WTF? Those two moderators need to have their mod privs revoked then be taken out into the street and beaten...
Okay, reread your statement very slowly. You seem to think that eroding their educational customer base is not a bad thing. What this gains them is indeed very important. It helps keep the educational market from eroding!!!

Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.
iTunes is useful for anyone with CDs and some
hard drive space who wants to turn their computer
into a smart jukebox.
I guess that's not you, but it doesn't require
iPod, digital camera, or video camera.
I think it's good for kids to create stuff, and
they like to do that sort of thing. So digital
editing for schools makes a lot of sense to me.
My fifth-grade class performed The Mikado, and I
imagine it would have been pretty cool if we could
have filmed it and made a DVD from it. I think
kids should know that DVDs don't have to be made
by Hollywood, they can be made by people too.
