    I thought it was pretty bad telling my friends I used Mambo...


    Now I have to say I use Joomla!, which is almost as ridiculous as saying Yahoo! out loud...

    Soon, with Ubuntu and Joomba, we'll be experts in Swahili! ;-) That'd be kind of cool though.

    For those of you who see "GNU" as one letter, we are very sorry for the confusion.

    heh, "server stress test"... you've said that a couple of times already, and it wasn't a particularly good comeback the first time. Face it, your site sucks, your shameless plugs are annoying, and nobody cares if your site gets a good slashdotting.

    Go ahead and TRY to see what happens when you TRY to run Slashdot, the prime butt trumpet of "standards complience" through the W3C validators. Go ahead! OH! Is that a "403 Forbidden"? Hmm....

    Technically, you don't say it so much as you exclaim it.
