You managed pretty well about a week ago when you asked about Pidgin. Anyway, your post has nothing to do with Calculate Linux, so I have moved it to General.

You have found the connection that we have tried for so long to keep secret, and it also explains the problems you are having. Now we must remove you: The U.N. wrote the code for Linux, and the president is our deep-cover agent to spread it around the world, destroying all operating systems that dare stand in its way.

Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!

Gosh, the only thing to add might be:
"Why can't you write with correct sentence structure?"

I do agree that our president is a swell guy, but he does not work for the UN.

hahaha.....

brainL, lets stick to the proper chain of command -Major Problems has to be consulted before going straight to General Ranting. Even Loo-tenant Stinker has it all over poor Private Matters...

I think he continues to plan on doing nothing, well except giving money to wall street, and buying car companies, drinking with whoever made the news last, buying cars poor people would have bought and given the rich folks money to buy a new one, I think at this point the last one is looking better and better. I guess he has accomplished something after all he's making W look good.

smeeze;

I know that you do not like to be corrected on grammar and spelling---and you apparently don't like your president.

But you really should spell his name correctly: Barack Obama
