    So true funny how it seems
    Always in time, but never in line for dreams
    Head over heels when toe to toe
    This is the sound of my soul,
    This is the sound
    I bought a ticket to the world,
    But now I've come back again
    Why do I find it hard to write the next line
    Oh I want the truth to be said

    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true
    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true

    With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
    Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
    Listening to Marvin (all night long)
    This is the sound of my soul,
    This is the sound

    Always slipping from my hands,
    Sand's a time of its own
    Take your seaside arms and write the next line
    Oh I want the truth to be known

    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true
    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true

    I bought a ticket to the world,
    But now I've come back again
    Why do I find it hard to write the next line
    Oh I want the truth to be said

    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true
    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true
    This much is true
    I know, I know, I know this much is true

    " Linux is the ONLY platform that is secure..."

    No it's not. You have to update it just like Windows.

    "...easy to use..."

    No it's not. That's a pretty absurd statement. I'll grant it's getting better, but it has a long ways to go.

    "...and 100% rock solid stable. "

    No it's not. Linux isn't that hard to break. I personally have done it a few times, and I've heard other people mention it here too. Worse, I have 4 Win2k boxes all running just fine. I reboot them maybe once every two weeks. Linux can beat that but you're running into diminishing returns here. I have an NT4 server box running exchange that's been up 134 days now.

    " And it's pretty much the perfect OS because open source is the perfect development model. "

    No it's not. Missed all the discussions about making money with OSS?

    I know you're just trolling, and I'm off topic, yadda yadda, but I am concerned other people believe this shit too. I have no problem with Linux being chosen over Microsoft. More power to ya. It is, however, rather far from perfect. To believe it is is your own undoing. I made that mistake, and my server had to be rebuilt by somebody more competent than me because some jackass rooted it. Easy to use my ass.

    I wanted to be with you alone
    And talk about the weather
    But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
    Won't escape my attention
    You keep your distance with a system of touch
    And gentle persuasion
    I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much
    Oh, you're wasting my time
    You're just wasting time
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    I never find out till I'm head over heels
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    Ah don't take my heart
    Don't break my heart
    Don't throw it away
    I made a fire and watching burn
    Thought of your future
    With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
    No no no have you no ambition
    My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
    And dreaming I'm a doctor
    It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
    Oh I feel so...
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    And this my four leaf clover
    I'm on the line, one open mind
    This is my four leaf clover

  8. Good example of doublespeak by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    When someone says "First Amendment rights" it just proves they've never read the First Amendment.

    What sort of madness has motivated you to "debunk" freedom of speech? Has the practice of crying "fire" in a crowded theater become such a national crisis that we must do away with the 1st amendment to make the world a safer place?

    I'm torn as to why people like you are coming out the woodwork these days. Is it the feminine need to have iron discipline of others beside yourself, no matter what the cost? Or is it the neurotic know-it-all one-upmanship so common in computer introverts that forever craves an opponent to be "wrong" in some trivial way, no matter the degree of pedantry or bloody mindedness is required to attain the superior perspective.

    Either way you've crossed into the absurd.

      Uh, no, it's my ability to READ that makes me come out of the woodwork. I gladly fight laws that infringe on freedom of speech all the time, but I have no RIGHT to freedom of speech unless my State has a clause in its Constitution that assures it. It's not there. Congress is defined in Article I as comprising a Senate and House of Representatives. Congress has been give power under Article I to pass all laws. "Congress shall make no law" is therefore in absolute terms. I'm not saying this because I really want to be able to shut up the spammers (national anti-spam regulation and the Do Not Call list is clearly against the First Amendment as writen, BTW.) I'm doing this because I want the law comprehensable, consistant and within reach of the common man. If the courts can go and through "common law" (again, if it ain't made in the legislature, under the Constitution, it ain't law) change the meaning of the document, then the Constitution itself is completely worthless and you can only protect your rights by hireing high priced lawyers, and even THEN you aren't assured as the courts like to ignore the Constitution when it comes to, say, the Ten Commandments being displayed in a court house (and no, I'm not refering to former justice Roy Moore).

      Now, the questions is how long before I am moderated Off Topic or a Troll? Sorry, I get worked up about this stuff. I saw my opening and I took it.
