    you philistine!

    the word "great" is pronounced with a silent "g", a silent "r" and a silent "e".

    It's spelt "great" but it's pronounced "at", therefore it's "an great ..."

    "...e-penis..."

    This is a product I haven't heard of before. I only have a regular penis myself. Perhaps you can enlighten me here:
      - What advantages does an e-penis have over a regular penis?
      - Can you e-mail it to your girlfriend every night when you are on business trips to keep her out of the arms of other men?
      - Is driver support a problem?
      - Can it be overclocked?

      You can, but you should use PGP to avoid the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack.

    If it was raining when I wanted to do some weeding, I'd go and tidy the greenhouse instead ;)

    "I suppose it's probably safe to trust that the makers of your LiveCD aren't putting little rootkits into the image that automatically get installed to the existing OS image on the hard disk."

    And thus, your stash is found, your company/country loses, and you go to jail for 20 years based off of a chat log.

    Assumptions do that..

    Don't know about security though. But since Xgl is fairly new I wouldn't trust it in a server.

    You have missed the point. If it weren't for my unshakeable faith in the Slashdot community, I might even suspect you of not having read the article.

    This is about Live CDs designed for security auditing, not the security of Live CDs. Although Nmap with OpenGL support would be pretty cool - watching thousands of Phong shaded, texture mapped SYN packets flying at the target host and either bouncing off or penetrating would make my day. Someone page Dan Kaminsky - he's great at cool shit like that.

    How difficult would it have been to change this to "A great"?

    As difficult as it would be for some to not harp on a simple typo?
