But what if...just what if you could open the eyes of hundreds, maybe thousands of people at one time. That would indeed be amazing. That is exactly what we are going to do. You and I. On July 28th, 2008; a significant percentage of Felton will go Microsoft-free for one week...maybe an entire month. Maybe for good. The arrangements have been made and the news is going forth in Felton. Businesses and home users alike are excited about one of their own -- Larry Cafiero of HeliOS Solutions West in Felton -- joining a committed group of volunteers into their town to show them a better way to operate their computers.

Oh man!!!!!

This is going to get interesting!

C'mon helios! We're waiting for pictures. Pictures I tell you! :P
Every time I see/hear someone whine "Oh man!!!!!" I get the original version of Zero Mostell in _The Producers_, with the "Hitler" character whining on stage about some crushing defeat, "Oh, man!"
You misinterpreted man.... It wasn't in whining, but in sweaty anticipation..... ;)
> but in sweaty anticipation.

Eeeewww.

Where For Art Thou?

Quoting:If you read some of his comments in helios's blog, you'll be able to figure out why he backed off pretty quickly.....


the blogger one or the old space?
Try both man. I believe there was a mention somewhere about not making it through basic training (military)...
Yeah, he said something about my military service as well...and I had just returned from the Middle East when he did. I'd like to see him say that to me face to face.
Heck, *I*'d like to see that, too.

I'll bring the popcorn.
popcorn?

Somebody better bring iodine and bandages. Especially iodine. Not the phoney no-sting stuff, either.

Hey, wait, you must be the same guy as Helios posting under a different name (forbidden on LXer!). And Ken is also the same person. If you even exist at all! I doubt it! At least I will not believe you exist until I see you racing in an Indy500 car! Until then, since posting is only allowed for physically existing people, I ban your comments from my site (and your e-mail as well). Oh wait, you don't visit my site. Too bad...
@hans: Eh? Who tickled you in the wrong place? Or did the forum eat the sarcasm tags again?
Looks like sarcasm to me.
I got it. I laughed :)
> Or did the forum eat the sarcasm tags again?

The forum obviously ate the sarcasm tages. :)
Never use them myself, I find them too unweildy
Didja ever wonder why the word unwieldy is so, well.. um.. unwieldy?
No. But obviously you have, so have you come to any conclusions yet?
form follows function. :)
What dumper said. :)
Anyone who followed PP's fight 'against' Tux500 doesn't need the tags. If you didn't follow that discussion you sure as hell missed a good laugh, and I understand you are wondering what I smoked. That's OK.

Devnet understands; since PenguinPete blamed him for being Ken Starks a.k.a. Helios - and wondering if that person existed at all.

Which is why lawyers wear neckties. To keep the foreskin from covering their faces.
>"Which is why lawyers wear neckties"

Thanks so much for that image. :)

Isn't circumcision pretty much standard in the US? :-)
given the symbolism above, it should be...
