Geek Chic should not be underestimated.
I've known quite a few people (including myself) who have run linux on a desktop with no real reason to do so other than the "cool" factor. The problem is, once you get it running and get set up you kind of realize that it is just a computer operating system and not something inherently cool like a tiger or the fonz.
"Oh wow, I'm running Firefox. On linux! [fifteen seconds pass] Hmmm, maybe I should go download BeOS..."
Perhaps someone can enlighten me to where this will be very useful.
I just can't even imagine how knowing what a terrorist smells like or whatever it is they're doing is going to be useful

Taken was a terrible waste of time and potential

Taken?

Taken was simply awful. The beginning had potential, but wasn't really excellent as others have stated. The beginning would've been excellent if the series had actually built on it. Instead it just ran around in circles. Nothing actually happened. It was a 20 hour miniseries about aliens and there were about 5 minutes featuring aliens. And nothing whatsoever was added to what scifi has already said about aliens. It was just derivative and uninteresting and definitely could've been improved by a shorter running time.
I wrote up a more elaborate and swear-filled review at my blog, if you'll excuse the flagrant self-promotion.
