      Dont want a start a flamewar by replaying to a Troll but Linux and BSD for me is liberal, individual freedom, free market, entrepreneur and free enterprise, capitalism.

      Microsoft is the opposite of this.

    So You Want to Breed Your Bitch A Consideration for the Would Be Casual Breeder So you want to breed your bitch. You know what to expect if everything goes right. Your little girl will present you with tiny bundles of joy. She will lovingly nurse them and care for them until they are old enough to be weaned. You and your family will find great joy in watching and playing with these little dolls, and then when the time is right they will all (or maybe you will keep just this one) go off to special homes to live our their lives as cherished companions. But have you given consideration to what if something goes wrong? I have listed here a few of the problems that I myself have personal knowledge of. Everything listed has happened either to me or to someone I know. These are not isolated incidents. I'm sure other breeders could add miles to my list.

    Mira lo que se avecina
    a la vuelta de la esquina
    viene Diego rumbeando.
    Con la luna en las pupilas
    y su traje agua marina
    parece de contrabando.

    Y donde mas no cabe un alma
    alli se mete a darse cana
    poseido por el ritmo ragatanga.
    Y el dj que lo conoce
    toca el himno de las doce
    para Diego la cancion mas deseada
    Y la baila,y la goza y la canta...
