Instead, let's have a look at one of nature's most interesting creatures, the humble fruit bat.
About the fruit bat: Many microbats have various facial protuberances,used in echolocation,which make it hart to refer to them as "cute". Fruit bats don't echolocate and have large eyes designed to be efficient at twilight. Their bodys are plump and furry. They are so cute!! Combined head and body length is about 20cm and wingspan can be as much as about 90cm. They live in subtropical and tropical areas. Ryukyu Flying Foxes living in Kuchinoerabu are the northernmost of all the world's flying foxes. In winter they become less active in the low temperatures and are difficult to find, but they don't hibernate. Bats have four very long fingers and a short thumb to each wing. The wing membranes are attached to the fingers and to the legs. They have a claw on the second finger in addition to the claw on the thumb. These are used to manipulate fruit and leaves. Fruit bats make audible sounds. When two individuals meet they hit each other with their wings and scream loudly. Large colonies are occasionally very noisy with monkey-like screams. As fruit bats roost in trees out in the open their loud chattering can be heard from far away. Fruit bats feed almost exclusively on fruit. They crush the fruit to extract the juice and spit out the pulp. The droppings are liquid. They look like bird droppings but lack uric acid crystals. They drop seeds in flight over a wide area, giving them a good chance of germination. Sometime they eat the pollen and the nectar of the flowers of mescal,palm and garcinia and so help in pollination. When fruit and flowers are in short supply in the woods they also eat leaves. Fruit bats have a good sense of smell. Many tropical fruits and flowers that bloom at night have scents that attract fruit bats. Fruit bats don't use echolocation and have keen vision. As they can't see in total darkness,. they fly using moonlight,starlight and townlight. During the day they roost in trees not caves. Sometime they fly during the day.
There are few bat biologists so the life of fruit bat has not, as yet, been well studied. I have read that P.d.daitoensis mate in November and December,but I have watched them mating at the end of the year and into the new year. Babies are born in May or June. Their roosts are not always permanent. They roost in small groups or singly. Sometimes they roost in large colonies. Bonin Flying Foxes in Titijima Island have large fixed colonies from January to April. They wake up at sunset. When the sun sets and the sky darkens their voices are heard from the roost. About 30 minutes after sunset they assemble at the feeding site. For the following 2 or 3 hours they are very active feeding and chasing each other. As night draws on they disperse and rest. They begin to return to the roost 1 hour before sunrise and go to sleep at dawn. Sometime,when it is cloudy, they don't return to the roost until after sunrise.
By works, I mean you can actually run it. You can also upgrade it without 10000 dependency problems. It doesn't put links in your programs menu that point to programs you haven't installed, like redhat does. I don't use windows myself, but I think that it's nice that when you install it, you get a working OS.

ha ha ha
That's about the funniest thing I heard two months ago.
Except that one is a computer, the other is a lamp.

I love apple!
i'll never be the second.
I thought GNU stood for Generally Not Useful.
I also thought mainframe computing was dead, though.
Grape minds taste alike!
pro: it's free
con: it sucks
In this post 9/11 America, can we really hate Katz? We've got to pull together, man.
No, everything should be related to Sep 11. When JohnKatz orders a hamburger, he longs for the innocence of pre 9/11 hamburger ordering.
Hard to find a Katz post that doesn't mention 9/11 at least once, no matter how completely unrelated it is.
Does every Katz article have to mention September 11th?
Fuck you, Katz. You're a no-talent hack. Go write for People or something.
it's all mine, and your woman, too
Therefore, I won't discuss it further.

Well spoken.
Given that most real programmers know the language they're writing , it doesn't really seem to be a "code" at all.
Why not simply "authors"?
You sexy thing.
way to go, you mean firp machine.
you know it
props to the other guy on the firp
No firp for you.
No firp no firp.
I LOVE THE NEGROES!
It was a tight race, but I haven't had a firp in a while. I've been having a crappy day, so I just had to have it.
At least some rotten bastard AC didn't get it. Yes, I realize that technically I'm an AC.
nah
not my style.
TunaTaco?
Is that CmderTaco or his transvestite wife?
Harley David, son of a bitch.
I like girls with big big tits.
That's because you're a fucking moron.
YHBT. YL. HAND.
I'm sure this is a violation of the DMCA,
This is like asking slashdot "how do i copy this windows xp cd?" You're not allowed to do it.
By your reasoning, free dog turd pie is better than a club sandwich you have to pay for.
Yeah, but that software works.
