    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...

    Hemos is currently quashing it for some reason, but apparently Maryland police may have caught the sniper. Offtopic, but seriously read the article. So far this looks to be the real thing.

    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?
