    Does Michael Tiemann have the right trollish credentials? I'm not sure I've ever seen him post to Slashdot at all, let alone start a flamewar.

    Oh I don't know... maybe Red Hat should try tweaking their CFLAGS a bit and recompiling the entire distro as -O9 -acefonts -greatartwork... just like G3nt00's l33t users.
