    I imagine he spends the time listening to stories about how much harder running was in the Old Days, what with all of the nitrogen snow, the rabid wolf-dogs, and the more intense gravity.

    Yes, but the dinner conversation...!

    Actually, my brother-in-law is a junior supervisor for the city's various "subterranean fluid-routing systems" (his words), so asking him about his day is a risky proposition if you're eating.

    Don't download porn, though. Makes it harder to finish your bathroom business. ::ahem:: Or so I'd guess.

    Wireless? To work in the bathroom, I had to drag around a big-ass Ethernet cable attached with a fuckin' dongle.

    Man, I did some of my best work in there. Some of it on the computer, even.

    Remind me not to invite you to dinner. 8-)

    Yeah, and I suppose using one of those heated-wire styrofoam cutters is out, isn't it?

    That guy should really trim his nails, too.

    Great, now you made me imagine a decontamination scene with a half-naked Nimoy.

    I've told him to stop leaving that where people can trip on it. Naughty!

    I believe you're thinking of Konqui the dragon. Kandalf is a wizard. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

    I never see either of them in day-to-day usage.

    Not quite. I need my occasional Stone Trek fix, too.

  15. Re:Just Great on Microsoft to sue Mike Rowe for Copyrights · · Score: 1
    Just look at all the attention he's gotten so far.

    But only because Microsoft is suing him. I realize that trademarks need to be defended, but it seems like some companies (not just MS) get carried away sometimes and generate nothing but bad publicity for themselves.

    Erm. While I agree with your ideas, the word is spelled "grammar". :: cough ::

    I think be-fan's posts are consistently smart and damned polite considering the responses he or, er, she gets (like yours).

    Why?

    But wouldn't they get someone knowledgeable to install it, just like they do when they need to reinstall Windows?

    Besides, distributions like SuSE offer to set up defaults for you during their installation. The installer is more than happy to partition your drive, choose filesystems, and set up a desktop and utilities for you.

    And that point, in turn, was just a tangental example to what the actual post was about

    Umm, sorry. I have about the same attention span as your average sheep. Baaa. ::/me resumes grazing::

    Yeah, but they have to keep your original copyright notice intact, so you know they'll eventually cave in to their guilty consciences and release the source.

    the average user should *not* have to select between filesystems;

    He'd better not install XP, then, as that's the first thing it asks you.

    I use KDE, and my office suite (OpenOffice) can also handle MS Office documents. Not that OpenOffice has anything to do with KDE or Gnome.
