Funny thing... even my intermediate logic book was filled with sentence diagrams of things like: If Godzilla necessarily eats Bambi, then Bambi is contingently Godzilla's meal.
I shit you not. A whole fucking page full of Godzilla/Bambi jokes.
If by hysterically funny, you mean so utterly nuts as to think the second law of thermodynamics could somehow apply to the biological generation of complex life (namely, by making such generation impossible because of the conservation of energy and mass), then yes... that is pretty funny.

The UI is still clunky and cluttered looking, but overall GIMP is an amazing program for the right price. It may never be a substitute for Photoshop, CAD or Illustrator, but for the weekend graphics hacker who doesn't have 600 dollars, this is a step in the right direction.
Microsoft is better for Joe Small Business Owner who knows about as much about computers as he does marketing his crappy product from his parents' basement. Who cares if his system is taken down every 10 minutes? 3 people a year buy his crap.
We're not as good as Linux for bigger businesses because they can afford to hire someone who might actually know something about how to use Linux, and therefore utilize its power. After all, it's more secure and more versatile, and you can develop your own applications for it.
Linux is actually more expensive if you choose to buy one of the commercial server distributions like RedHat or SuSE. We're just going to pretend that someone can easily get another distribution OR this same one for free off the Internet.
Linux support is harder to come by than Microsoft support! Never mind that the costs between getting a certified Linux technician and an MCSE are the same -- you can call Computer Bob who hangs out down at the local bar and have him service your Windows computer because he picked up 2000 Server for Dummies at Barnes and Noble the other day.
I live here and our economy is in the pits -- no one can find jobs. This is just another example of a company abandoning one of the most creative cities on the planet. It's really a shame -- Austin has a lot of talented people coming out of some of the best colleges in the region (Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and especially UT here in Austin) in graphics, art, music and computer science. This isn't a smart move.
Because people are, on the whole, stupid. They vote for things because their coworkers/bosses/churches/friends tell them to vote for someone or something, or they just vote based upon party affiliation without actually checking on any issues that apply to them.

And I say this as an avid Linux user.
The editor probably should have put "object" rather than UFO. Do not feed the trolls, remember?
Some black holes, my friend, were never meant to be discovered.
Look!. And here!.
And look at OS X... think of how fundamentally different it is than OS 9. Then think of XP versus 2000 or 98. Not that much of a difference.

Well, it's not that big of a stretch!
Or if you have enough money.
Now there's a form of localization!
