How to Install Macromedia Flash Player 7 on Ubuntu Dapper Drake

>I get you two confused. Let's see, you're the one with the pig, right? :-)

Hey! Half that pig is mine! ;->

> Hey! Half that pig is mine! ;->

Well, I can see that I'm just digging myself in deeper. OK. The pig's under a joint copyright. ;-)

Has LXer considered offering some sort of group policy vision care thing? I've noted a sharp increase in vision complaints since that pig photo was published.

Sorry, jim. I should have clarified that I wasn't directing that part at you, specifically. It was aimed more at any hecklers we might have in the crowd.

>Has LXer considered offering some sort of group policy vision care thing? I've noted a sharp increase in vision complaints since that pig photo was published.

Oh great! Now we'll have to hire Boies and Co. to sue you for stealing the copyrighted pig, and we'll use your failing vision as proof. "Your honor, we're requesting all of Mr. bergman27's eye-care records dating back to his great-grandmother's first record. We know he's hiding the stolen pig we copyrighted - that pig is _our_ unintellectual property because we saw it first, your Honor..."

Must be something in my coffee these past two mornings.

I ain't got no pigs here!

And I'm callin' IBM right now. Just you wait and see!

The Scopes Monkey Trial is going to fade, by comparison, in the history books when compared to the IBM vs Lxer Pig Trial.

Yessiree. And I'm gonna do it, too!

;-)

Not that vision isn't an issue for some (I'd sure opt for the group policy), but, I'm pretty sure that some of this is the equivalent of the 'dog ate my homework' excuse of the younger set.

Well, this monkeying around sure beats a flame war any day.

Never discount 'monkeying around'. It's hard to have a meaningful discussion if you've lost your sense of humor.

Pigs and dogs and monkeys, oh my! This place is a zoo.

I can't think what recent conversations could possibly have brought that to mind. Surely you're not accusing anyone here of lacking a sense of humor. :)

I love it. In fact, I can get pretty serious about monkeying around: http://research.uvsc.edu/machiel/orangutan.jpg

Jimf --

Hope you're recovering.

Next time try shoving your tongue into that cheek.

Much less painful.

Since we're now monkeying around, I *almost* commented something to the fact that I need the group vision policy because I couldn't tell for sure which was which! Being a relative newcomer I decided not to post that comment. ;-)

BBQ escargot anybody? Escargot and BBQ sauce should go well together! (Sorry if I offend anybody's epicurean sensibilties.)

Sounds like a delightful blend of Southern American and French cuisine to me!

> group vision policy

Ahh.. the advancement of Linux, FOSS, the GPL, monkeying around... Not necessarily in that order. I guess you could also throw 'world peace' in there somewhere.

> BBQ escargot anybody?

Grouch, you'd better check on the status of your snails.

> BBQ escargot anybody?

The French coming up with a defense against attack snails? I suppose it was inevitable. The constant arms race and all.

Well, I almost came back with a long flame, but I see now that you're just regurgitating stuff you've read and may or may not have actually thought about, thus the rather thin skin. Come back after you've matriculated and we'll see if you're capable of independent thought.

But in case you're wondering, most americans have given up freedom for a lifetime supply of (relatively) cheap gas and greasy cheese burgers. That's why the US has the honor of being the fatest nation on earth.

>Come back after you've matriculated and we'll see if you're capable of independent thought.

Since when has matriculation encouraged independent thought? I've observed the opposite effect.
