I can never read "The VAR Guy" without thinking about the Seinfeld episode
called "The Jimmy." "Jimmy's under the boards. Jimmy's in the open. Jimmy makes the shot." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jimmy |

Heh. Very funny, ComputerBob. Personally, I don't mind the third-person thing so much, and Larry the Free Software Guy uses it himself from time to time :-) But both items were interesting. I think The VAR Guy did take the bait, so to speak. I don't think it was the FOSS Force's intention, but now a relatively widely read blog like The VAR Guy is passing on eyeballs to FOSS Force -- a site that I particularly like that, thankfully, is gaining popularity. (Edited to fix both comma placement and obtuse sentence structure in the last sentence.) |

I read the story today, and it never occurred to me that the VAR Guy is anonymous. I never got why he needs that cloak of anonymity. |

The LXer E-i-C thinks that talking about oneself in 3rd person is cool.. ;-) |

ComputerBob thinks it is not cool. Ooops. |

One's Elf is the elf that goes around, replacing letters in profanities in "interesting" ways. I think it's a load of cr@p, but that's just me. |

shouldn't that have been "gus3 thinks it's a load of cr&p"? EDIT D+mn that elf |

Quoting:D+mn that elfAnd then there is also FreeBSD's ELF-branding brandelf utility specifically utilized to "help the FreeBSD kernel distinguish between a FreeBSD ELF binary and a Linux binary" (from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html ) The following seems to be an example of a typical usage of the brandelf command: brandelf file brandelf -t Linux filecommon Maybe this brandelf elf-variant will only be minimally "D+mned" for those FreeBSD users who MUST run certain Linux binaries ?? ;) |

@vainrveenr, Please edit your post to fix its formatting -- it's causing all of the other posts to scroll off the right side of their text frames. |

The Carla is amused, and gives thanks. |
