    It's people like DVD Jon who make me feel like a total sham everytime someone calls me a "computer genius". What's he got for us next?

      What? You'd rather have him dicking around wasting time with some elitist MoreArcaneThanThou-OS, than writing useful code that gets something done?

      Better laugh at me too now - I run KDE w/ SuSE so I must be a EuroN00b. Blah. kiddies and their ricer OS's.

    I have a mother in law who is Hungarian, when she visits, she watches hungarian language programming, offered only in, windows media format.

    I think, you might have missed, a few, commas. I know Wil Wheaton posts to Slashdot, but I didn't know about Shatner.

    It really wouldn't be that hard for Microsoft to release a generic codec pack for Linux.

    It would also be really easy for President Bush Jr to release the Nuclear Launch Codes to Al Qaeda.

    The difference is: You never know what Bush will do tomorrow.
