  1. Re:IP and tradmarks... again on Gaim Renamed — Now Pidgin IM · · Score: 1

    Yeah... you should probably lay off of the caffeine, so you don't get owned like that. Pidgin is a combination of languages that gradually develops over time to facilitate communication between peoples that speak different languages (i.e. Creole, Taglish, etc.). You shouldn't pretend like you know what you're talking about because of a vacation you just took, it makes you look like a fool.
    I do have to give you props there though for linking that wikipedia article. That gave me a good laugh, thanks.

  2. Is this really a useful post? on How Long Does it Take You to Tweak a New Box? · · Score: 1

    Is this what passes for news these days?...
    OK, I'll answer.

    Windows:2-4 days, including reinstall, updates, etc. (yes, I could use ghost, but I got wise & bailed on Windows quite some time ago, so that's not really a concern).

    Linux:2-3 hours, including the copying of my 100GB home folder over. All of my preferences are there, so I don't have to customize anything after install, it just works.
