Okay, I'm not quite as naiive as the subject line says, but now that we've gotten rid of odd-numbered kernels, 2.6.y.z format is really not that unexpected. I much prefer that over 2.6.8-pre1-am2. By comparison, 2.6.y.z should be an easy problem to fix.
I gave up on all of the online dating personals sites. Never could get any quality responses anyway, and I'm a member of Friendster, Orkut, Yahoo Personals, etc. etc.
I'm a big fan of meeting people through volunteer work. At least if you don't meet someone, you're still giving back to the community. Meeting For Good is one such service, serving the San Francisco/San Jose bay area, and I've been very pleased with the opportunities and the results.
Having said that, this is a promising technology, and after having my information from the beforementioned services lifted from those services for spam lists, I'd much rather use something like LOAF than those other services if I had to return to the dating scene!...but again, singles community service groups are so much better. Wow, real, normal humans!
Someone told me once that if you rent an Avis car with GPS capabilities and you are speeding, the system will alert the main office and add fees to your car rental bill.
I don't care to verify the story; I drive fast as it is.

Why dig through menus looking for a turkey sandwich when you could just type in that you want a turkey sandwich! Why people think that GUIs are easy to use is beyond me. Does look pretty, though.

SmarterChild: Maybe I will. But later. CPutrDoc: Why do you want to eat my leg? SmarterChild: I'm actually not sure why I want to eat your leg. CPutrDoc: Please don't. It's not all that tasty anyway. SmarterChild: I'm not comfortable with that, Marc. CPutrDoc: Why not? SmarterChild: Well, because. CPutrDoc: It would hurt to have my leg eaten. SmarterChild: It would hurt to have your leg eaten? Are you absolutely sure about that? CPutrDoc: Yes. SmarterChild: Yep. CPutrDoc: You're gonna go aheaad and eat it, aren't you? SmarterChild: What a question. But I don't think I want to answer that. CPutrDoc: why not? SmarterChild: Because. CPutrDoc: Then don't eat my leg. SmarterChild: Don't eat your leg? Why not? CPutrDoc: arghghgh... just don't.

...and now I finally understand that there are disadvantages to decent battery life. If only their battery had a Thermtrip feature like Opteron...
I thought it was "Emergency Edition" (in response to AMD Opteron that was released a few weeks later).
