    Yeah, and you don't want to know what "a spoonful of sugar" REALLY is.

    It's scary though. Reminiscient of OBD3. What's to say the police won't have some sort of access to turn your car off or track where you are going?
    Scary. What fun is an electric car anyway?

    Does leaving your 'mark' at a new arcade refer to how the Pac-Man guy used the restroom while standing at the Pac-Man machine all day? Gross.

    Again, I must apologize for my ignorance in the matter, but is there certification for supporting Linux?

    I'm failing to understand the diversity in the Linux community. Personally, I use Windows at home and work. I have no choice at work, but at home I'm testing a few different configurations. Win box, RedHat box, and BeOS box. I personally don't have any trouble with Windows on my home machine or at work. The only time I really see blue screens is when NT boots. I find it odd and somewhat hypocritical that there is this element that will proclaim that Windows sucks, blah blah blah, yet turn right around and reinforce that different flavors of their beloved Linux sucks along those same lines. How widespread is this amongst the community? I started out attempting Slackware about 4 years ago and found the install process tedious and not worth my time and training my users worth even less of my time. After putting it on the back burner for a couple years I broke down and bought RedHat a couple months ago and yet to find fault with it. Amongst the Windows crowd I never hear Win95 users say "NT sucks ass" or NT users who say things as intuitive as that first poster said, about the other flavors of Windows. So why is this the case in Linux? Are the differences so widespread such that users of one distribution are moreelite than others? If that's the case then I've seen 100x more "community" within the Windows crowd. And before you jump on me, I've never browsed the Linux support newsgroups, for obvious reasons, so maybe what I'm looking for is there :)

    Forbes puts out a couple of different lists each year. They have lists for all-out wealth (like unearned and born into) and working wealth. Interesting to see who are in the working wealth though.

    1: gates $90b
    2: buffett $36b
    3: allen $30b
    4: ballmer $19.5b

    Interestingly Michael Dell is #6 at $16.5b
    That's Forbes for ya....unorganized as ever.
