For me it's a treat to reach the bottom of the page; to have read all the submissions, because you get to read the quote! But sometimes I start reading "Trademarks property of their respective owners...." thinking it's the quote. And I don't 'get' it.
The quote might be overlooked (by me sometimes) because it does not stand out as much as the disclaimer. Can that be fixed?
I'm sorry to get into the discussion this late, but I'd like to inform you of my own experience. I live on an island in the Caribbean Sea and therefor do a lot of on-line ordering. Take ThinkGeek for instance: With a lot of their merchandise you see something like: "Sorry. We cannot ship this item outside the USA." That's why I use a forwarder in Miami: Thinkgeek is happy to receive my payment & send the stuff to the forwarder--but they do not want to send it directly to me. now, why is that?
*ahem* really usefull 'premium feature' would be..

On Curacao, an island in the Caribbean Sea, we desalinate our drinking water since 1928. We call it the 'World's Best Water' (and probably most expensive as well! my past month's waterbill was approx. US$ 120.-). But what the brine does with our coral reef? I dunno, but ppl who are interested in finding out might get some answers from the ppl of NACRI, the Netherlands Antilles Coral Reef Initiative.

See this article, about fibrous materials with integrated, fungible glue capsules - so that each stress which breaks fibers also breaks the glue capsules to repair those fibers.
I am thinking of buying a yeswatch myself - see www.yeswatch.com
It features a single hand plate (hand does one round in 24 hours); shows you day/night time where ever you are on this planet; moon phase and some more.

Share and Enjoy
Journey through life
With a plastic boy
Or girl by your side
Let your pal be your guide
And when it breaks down
Or starts to annoy
Or grinds when it moves
And gives you no joy
Cos it's eaten your hat
Or had sex with your cat
Bled oil on the floor
or ripped off your door
You get to the point
You can't stand it anymore
Bring it to us
We won't give a fig
We'll tell you...

I'd be very happy if you could tell me where you got the OS4 ?
Or colour, so you can see at-a-glance how much repairs has been done.
A color coding scheme can tell you if the product is still safe to use.

It makes me laugh _all_ the time !
"...We certainly realize that we cannot claim the trademark Linux"
"... it is the right of Linus Torvalds to claim the trademark"
Perhaps they should claim it in the name of Linus and (when the claim is successfull) _give_ it to him.
