    Good God, who the hell modded that up as interesting? Everyone knows that I was joking. You couldn't really expect anyone to use a joypad to write a computer program* You'd use a virtual keyboard.

    And a light gun.

    *That said, Net Yaroze did

    I'd prefer to keep with the monopolistic naming convention:

    purple iron linux
    green wheelbarrow linux
    orange racecar linux
    and finally silver battleship linux.

    I may have missed something but I'm sure another /.er will save the day.

    my two kids + the fact that I'm a user of Linux for the former 13 years ==> linux is not a really effective form of birth control.
    It was effective birth control for you. That explains why your two kids look like the mailman.

    Given the asian affinity for DDR, perhaps a Dance Mat input method is in order?
