I agree that the CD-drive in the Imac is a fairly solid unit.
However, when you stick a classroom full of 'em in a public school (Apple still has a huge market share in this area), replacing these proprietary Cd-drives because some bonehead kids keep jamming stuff in there or screwing with them in general, gets expensive real quick.
Now that was a cartoon that was original, crude and DAMN funny!

Is it just me, or is Tux kind of stupid?

Actually, I'd kinda have to agree with ya there.
Call it blasphemy, but I always thought Linux should have a more "bad-ass" looking logo than a goofy penguin. I dunno, Tux just looks too benign and he'd look kinda out of place next to my tattoos of skulls and demons etc.
Besides if Linux ever goes extinct, maybe replaced by something better (hey it COULD happen), all these dudes with the penguin tattoos are gonna look kind of silly. At least with a "bad-ass" mascot you'd still have a fairly cool tattoo even if it lost most of it's significance.
Not to mention Mandrake, one of Enlightenment's co-developers, bailed on the project recently to run his own business. That was a serious loss of development talent.
I think Rasterman is doing pretty damn good for just one guy.

yeah, you're completely right.
Whoever came up with this quote didn't know a damn thing about set theory. What the hell is "an infinite number" anyway?
You'd think beating in the case would rank higher than a user taking out his hard disk and punting it around :-)
