The correct response would be, Although I have taken the steps necessary to protect you, you still wish to use the upgraded version? *sigh* ok, it's a free country. Here's the link.
They had no choice but to keep him. He makes good coffee, BTW. The other guy suggested posting patches on days ending in y; that was the last meeting he ever attended. The last printout he ever did on the company printer, was WILL WORK FOR...but I never stuck around long enough to see the rest of it. Never saw him again.
after trying to find My Computer somewhere near the air vent
You left out your part in this: that you deliberately set the 'My Computer' icon with the GIMP-created icon of something resembling his air vent for this windoze loving friend of yours.
Apparently the sort who needs to conceal the other purchase for the wife, who's sitting this one out in the car, er I mean automobile, in the parking lot, with a package of near equivalent dimensions.
You can yadda yadda sex all you want, but here on Slashdot, nobody EVER yadda yaddas stencil shadows, per pixel lighting, and quad SLI configurations. Ever.

A demonstration? Sure. No, you dont have to take your clothes off now, that's only in Terminator; it's just a movie. Put them back on now. I said put them back on. I know it's cold in here. And the physical takes place when you're actually hired. Next please.
Yes you do need to take a half hour to get started, but not with gvim. It seems that in your case, the *GUI* version is getting in your way (fonts and scrollbars?). Look at it this way: go to cmd.exe in Windows, and THEN edit from there. Not gvim, but in console mode (there must be a version for Windows for this). That way, when you do use Linux more or switch more often than you care for, you'd be focused on the edit part rather than the windowing or resizing part.
Oh no! Vim has been updated? There's so many commands to remember now! There's even a visual mode?!? Gotta get a bigger mug...that means more caffeine for my already-frazzled nerves...or have a shirt iron-on transfer done with the commands printed upside down so all I'd have to do is look down to see the commands...which reminds me, gotta put on some pants...

To paraphrase Officer Wiggum:
Can't we have a Slashdot discussion that doesn't end with a car analogy?

Mom, I think I've figured out what zero-day means.
The tough part is getting that laptop to point him out in a police lineup.

Strange zero days indeed.

I have also bad news for you: attitude like yours is one of the major reasons Linux is just about nowhere in desktop adoption right now.
You have GOT to be kidding. 2006 is THE year that Linux takes over the desktop. As it has been for the past five years.
Oh, wait...
Tampons.. Hey! An office suite!

From an experienced gamer: The hours are just an estimate.
And, you don't have to wear the tight khaki shorts and the holsters. It's just a game. They don't improve your gameplay at all.
Is he unemployed and does he live with his parents? Does he also claim to have a place in the Hamptons?

I believe they make no such claim as being the first of its kind with this capability; think of it more as need to waterproof-said-concept.

It's quite simple, really. The "salesman" was from the future, and he almost gave away one of the greatest technological advances of his time.
Not one of the sci-fi books I've read has any time traveller chosen "jeweller" as a disguise. Out-of-work actor, maybe, but jeweller?
Huh?
Oh these? Well you know, if you stare at the screen without blinking your eyes, after a while the tears come. Happens a lot in Quake, son.
Mom says you have to take me to school now.

Mom! Dad's been playing all night again!!
Debian installed! I used ReactOS, then installed the free version of VirtualPC from microsoft, then installed Debian Sarge. Now I can use nano
Damn, nano seems to have some pretty hefty system requirements. Are you sure you want to ditch notepad?
