Why are you so worried about something that means nothing?

Because it means something to me.

Anyway, I've taken this problem elsewhere, so I don't wish to discuss it here anymore. Really, I'm done. I don't want to start a conflict.

EDIT: Also, my old sig has been restored. I didn't feel like littering all my posts with that (possibly, and most probably false) statement, after all.

It's OK MrCode, different things affect different people differently.

One fact always stands true, however: Life goes on.

Good luck, and best wishes!

takes back everything i ever thought of ubuntu. SEEMS to work out of the box on a laptop with stuff windows 7 had problems getting drivers for. anyways, guess it hard on the ego at times to accept that I have more to learn than i thought ( now if i could only change the learning curve).

coffee+pressure washer+waiting on interview results=hair loss and wet feet

Watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and his comments on the threats to the South Park creators. EPIC WIN!

I read that the reruns were edited to remove all the references to muhamid.

Yea, it is interesting. Before the whole Danish cartoons, Muhammed was featured one or two times post 9/11. Not really any noise from the muslims. Also about the latest episode, Comedy Central supposedly cut out 30 or so sec of extra dialog/comments about the whole spiel.

I find it interesting how radical muslims like to kill themselves to be martyred, yet they don't realize that it goes both ways. I have a feeling that Theo Van Gogh's work is now more popular than ever, thanks to his death. So if lets say something does happen to the creators of South Park, their status would actually GROW, yet somehow the radicals don't realize this. Pathetic really, then again, what do you expect when you're dealing with groups that can only be categorized as barely human, no real intelligence, and stuck in the dark ages.

Also the creators of South Park are correct, they have gone after many different groups and religions, and why should they back off on the Muslims? Its equal opportunity offensiveness, and everybody deserve a slap in the face, even Islam, and any other insert_religion_here, period.

Yes, yes, and as for Theo Van Gogh you'd have to be right cause I definitely wouldn't know the name if he hadn't been murdered. I sometimes imagine Jesus, Muhammad, Budda, and the rest of them sitting around together, drinking wine or partaking other religiously appropriate intoxicants and wondering why everyone missed all the good things they had to say and is taking themselves so damned seriously.

Yesterday I actually made something that boots and prints "Hello, World!" to the screen!

Now I am trying to write a terminal for it.
