  2. Re:Tux cant handle GOD on Cuba Launches Own Linux Variation · · Score: 0

    I agree.
    Linux is essentially atheist and un-American.
    If you can manage to buttonhole them, ask these two charming chaps:
    - Bill Gates: Do you believe in God?

    - Linus Torvalds: Do you believe in God?

    Then, Patriotic Americans, check your answers. And do you govern yourselves accordingly.

    As a Canadian, I'm now planning a 2-week vacation to Cuba next month. I hope to see some Brits and Europeans there...
    Enjoy your Evil-Empire Windows, Gringos. Mwahaaa haa haa!

    Honestly we NEED a led light bulb that will DIM acceptably for people.

    I have several string of LED xmas lights that just happen to be on standard dimmers. The dimmers were for the old incandescent xmas lights.
    The LEDs do dim, and in two years not one has burned out yet.
    And lazy boy that I am, the lights stay up all year, and are lit almost every night.
    An interesting thing- when the dimmer is turned COMPLETELY down, the lights still stay dimly lit. If you want them completely off, you have to switch the dimmer 'off'.
