    This link from the summary decides it knows best what window size I should have.

    Therefore, I am entirely disinterested in anything they have to say and have mapped *.backuptrauma.com to 127.0.0.1

    Backups are for girls and End (L)users. John Cleese is a blast, though he much better at holding together a flying circus or being a (Lord) Farquad. 'Nuff said

    Hey slashdot editor, small typo on the brief. You typed "Barely an ad" when you really meant to say "Barely Funny".

    This should be classified as a jokoid with a heavy does of advertisement browbeating.

    I hope Cleese got paid well for the damage done to his reputation.
