    Looks like Eugina has been smoking bad shit again!. After the awful window decoration he designed, comes this shit! If you thought Windows XP and Keramik were bad, Think again! KDE is just as bad!. Use one of the boxes (Blackbox, Fluxbox, Openbox) instead.

    just stop giving them more&more monIE.

    they already have more than enough, most of the rest of US, do not.

    it's not as simple as it sounds, but it is quite doable.

    if you are a greed/fear based lifeform, you may choose not to participate.

    consult with yOUR creator. don't take forever to do it, 'cause time is not on yOUR side at the momeNT. future generations would be grateful. if we don't get our heads out of our .asps, what the future generates may not be what you wanted for US/them (yOUR kids).

    Yes, this is off-topic, but this just reminded me about Unlimited Adventures; and old DOS game with which one could make countless different mods with the look and feel of the even older "gold box" AD&D games. Those were the days... a quick google search could yeild upwards of one hundred modules, most of which were great fun to play, and would provide months of entertainment...

    a license to the unreal engine is not income. I'm pretty sure my fiancee didn't pay income tax on her ring.

    They flew people in from as far away as Canada, eh? Taking Toronto as the starting point, that would make it a whole 2 hour flight to Raleigh. I'm just teasing you, but really... how far away do you think we northern folk are?
