    Yeah, just the way Linux is "edging out" Windows as a desktop OS, or intelligent comments are "edging out" mindless Linux zealous idiocy on Slashdot.

    Maybe "eeking out a small chunk of a large market and managing to stay afloat."

      You go "eek" when your boyfriend Bubba takes you from behind without asking. You eke out a living by making license plates.

      It's good strategy. They keep piling the work up and Linus gets too busy to apply patches to Linux. Linux releases grind to halt. Microsoft succeeds at world domination. At least that's what the memo said.

      Billg (in Dark Helmet): Linus! ... I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate!

      Linus: What does that make us?

      Billg: Absolutely nothing, which is what I am about to make you!

    Since when does Microsoft "approve" what hardware can and cannot be used with its software?

    Oh, wait ...

    Your even-handedness and actual knowledge of the issues at hand are confusing and disconcerting to me. Are you sure you're on the right website?
