Slarty, that page was pure undiluted awesomeness. That, or everything seems more funny when I'm tired. (Shrugs.) Either way...

Here's a better link.

If it wasn't so old I'd be tempted to bump it.

The way I see it, Mac users see their PCs as cohesive wholes, while x86ers are more likely to see their PCs as a bunch of components hooked together. The same holds for software: one of the 'PC vs. Mac' commercials' main points is that PCs don't come bundled with the same software that Macs do.

Meh. For most of what I do, I'm content with operating from bash.

Upon taking a look at member 7,000, I noticed something interesting. Although this individual has a mere 98 posts (still higher than mine, sadly), the picture, AIM, and Homepage seemed rather familliar. Almost as though someone with a much lower number had attempted to attain that spot at the last minute... Pure fancy of course. I've given up on my conspiracy theories.

Canada's treasury board has just published the results of a $1.5 million survey on public service morale. The results indicate that 90 percent of federal public servants like their jobs, while 20 percent report being harassed on the job. Which means... 10 percent don't mind a bit.

In other words, I've been too slack on the forum I'm admining. The worst thing is that it's not a real internet group; it's basically just an announcements board for a group I'm part of. I see all these people on a regular basis, and whenever I do 'too much editing' they let me know. Oh yeah: the vast majority have never been on boards before.

Lusers. I'm coming down with an iron fist now.
