I have to say that, as a newbie myself, and a girl, it's hard to ask questions without feeling as though everyone thinks I am an idiot. An intelligent person can recognize that Linux is a superior operating system, and on that note, look to learn more about it and implement it on his or her system. But being a newbie, even a smart newbie, is no fun. Especially when you crave vast amounts of knowledge that the "l337" would rather not give over to one who might not be worthy.
For anyone with half a brain, every drop of information in this technologically growing world is like water to a flower, and those with the sustenance would do well to share. Perhaps those of us left in the dark could be an asset to the community, if someone would just let us in.
Actually, in essesnce the Bill of Rights is the only portion of the constitiution that truly does apply to the people. In fact, there were those during the writing of the Consitution that was have no part of it until it contained some specific laws to keep the people safe from tyranny, "Thomas Jefferson, generally in favor of the new government, wrote to Madison that a bill of rights was 'what the people are entitled to against every government on earth.'"
