    I was just cursing out Debian, which is my main OS, because yet again my XF86Config-4 got overwriten by a default. WinXP to the rescue...

    I guess that makes me 3l33t, since I didn't have any problems with it (despite knowing little about Linux).

    I use diabian at home to run my firewall advice. It's an old K5 machine that runs at 100mhz...remember when they bought that other CPU company (what was their name, Ktech?)

    I used to play Duke Nukem on it, and my name was K5KICKBUT...

    Whoa, I guess I am l33t!

    You people are confusing the universe with maps of the universe. e and pi are mathematical objects, and important tools for understanding the highly detailed and fairly accurate *maps* of the world, but they should never be confused with the world itself.

    Category errors are a bitch.

    If the ratio of the circumference to the radius of a physical realisation of a circlular object _was_ fixed, then gravity wouldn't work.

    Or was this supposed to be a trick question?
