That Which We Call Free

Wait -

I'm jumping in...

...But...

Phooey!

Everybody's pretty much right.

What's the world coming to?

This is quite an odd situation. I think we should all check for fever and infections.

Hmm. Naw, I think I'll stay out of this one. Too much agreement is bad for the constitution.

OT:

LOL

/back to the regular distraction

>LOL

TOS

Reference to Loopy Old Liberals is not permitted.

Wow!

I don't think I've ever broken up an agreement before..

There's a first time for everything I guess.

:-)

Well, if everybody agrees, there's not much fun here. Sad I'm not allowed to break TOS, otherwise some religious or political drive-by injection would surely stir up the debate for the coming three weeks.

> some religious or political drive-by injection would surely stir up the debate for the coming three weeks.

Such debate would be pointless - everyone knows that the San Diego Chicken is actually the most current incarnation of the Great Omnipotent All-seeing Toenail.

The Tunguska blast of 1908 was caused by the Cosmic Teapot being knocked out of orbit by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Hallowed be His name, Ramen.

I heard it was a UFO crash... uh huh, yup... so I have been told. And I am sure that German dictator guy was involved somehow.

> some religious or political drive-by injection would surely stir up the debate for the coming three weeks.

I nominate Bob as being the one who actually crossed the line. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a reference to a group that actively fights against Christianity.

Edit: But I award him 5 points for being stealthy about it.

Hey, it was Darren who brought up reincarnation, omnipotence (although that could have been a sexual reference, I'm not sure) and toenails.

And Dino stuck in "Liberals"!

Can I not be the bad guy here? :^(

(btw, it's not a fight against "christianity", it's reason vs. irrationality.)

> The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a reference to a group that actively fights against Christianity.

Not that I can tell, although individuals within the group may, just as individual FOSS folk may love/hate Novell love/hate mono prefer New York hot dogs to Chicago style (only the unwashed illiterate heathens).

The Pastaferians are more about bad science and opposition to creationist teachings, and intelligent design. That is very different from fighting Christianity or leaving unused ports open on your server or compiling filesystem support into your kernel as opposed to putting it into a module and using an initial ram disk and I really look forward to 2.6.24.

>Can I not be the bad guy here? :^(

No. Keep it to Linux, pal.

> Can I not be the bad guy here? :^(

Well, Darren did bring up the San Diego Chicken, which large numbers of people gather to... um... er... admire.

> No. Keep it to Linux, pal.

Two days ago I got some _massive_ filesystem corruption. I suddenly could not do much because my dev/hda1 had been remounted read-only on the fly behind my back. (my pants were on backwards, I guess)

A couple rounds of fsck'ing, a good backup and a complete wipe-reinstall later, things are back to "normal". The latest Adobe Flash player is causing nsplugin-viewer to crash every time I leave a web page in Konqueror that has flash content, even though that content is not being displayed. I have not yet tried YouTube in Iceweasel, but just because Ron^H^H^H{censored for TOS violation} doesn't have a new video up to see.

Debian Sid is missing three libraries that are in testing that are required for various media playback, and Koffice won't install for missing dependencies too. So Sid is living up to its name.

So there.

Much better, Bob.

Say, do you think Hillary could give my any advice on satan?

**edit** I mean the port scanner!!!!!!! **edit**

She could probably quote several contract clauses, maybe even get a referral bonus.

Definitely a Windows user.

Hey, he _asked_!

> Say, do you think Hillary could give my any advice on satan?

Clear TOS violation. Please do not reference entities with supernatural evil capable of destroying the world. And don't bring up satan either!

Sorry, Scott. Moment of weakness.

Reprimand accepted.
