I'd say The GIMP is a good way to entice artists onto linux. I don't know if I'd want to attract artist who'd be swayed by winamp skins or visualizations. Besides, even with the lack of skins and vis. plugins I'd still take XMMS over WinAmp just because I have the Add Selected Files and Add All Files in Directory buttons on the file browser. Makes building playlists 10x easier. Oh yeah, and it runs under linux.
I especially hated the dorks who enjoyed bullying other kids. Especially dorks who bullied the geeks. --The geeks, despite their problems, were the only truly interesting people in the whole freeking school! They liked to think! (Well, the organized crime kids were also pretty interesting; the ones who would cut class and spend the day ripping off anime and expensive art supplies from the shops downtown. . . One guy even lifted an airbrush compressor! What balls! Guerilla artists who refused to work with anything but stolen supplies. How out-there is that?)
I think liking to think really is a good defining characteristic of a geek. If you think that's hard to do though, try getting other people, the so-called normal, to think. Now that will give you some headaches. To stray back to the topic at hand, I think that Zim, or what little I've seen of it at least, was trying to get children to think. I'd contend that saying "Zim is too subversive for children" would be severely underestimating children.

No, schwag is cheap. Microsoft products on the other hand cost quite a bit.

Hell, I'm hungry and I don't have any cookies. That's irony for you.
Well, HAL is just a letter shift (-1) of IBM, so it all makes perfect sense.

I'd guess not, but I've seen some 34sided dice. Not really sure what use they are, but they were nifty.
I'm sure you don't acutally care, but why does it matter. Just read instead of worrying about moderation.
Damn, now I wan't to play GURPS. And D&D. And fallout for that matter. Best break out the dice.
Well... to be fair, Bioware is a Canadian company. Hmmm... this was more funny when I was thinking of it. Oh well, Canada is always funny.
