    Sorry for implying that, humble apologies.

    I'm not saying you don't have a job/life if you play rpgs/watch anime, that's ridiculous to imply a blanket statement. 24 comments isn't much considering i have school two days a week and 35hr/week job. I type fast too.

    So, Linux 2.6 will come out about the same time as the new Harry Potter book? Maybe it will be a joint release.
