I am moving in a few weeks, and came across this beauty.[^] Never been used! I'm sorry I didn't find it before Christmas, it would make the perfect gift for a devotee of OpenVMS. What do you have to trade for it? I will ship anywhere in the world from Northern California.
Someone's gotta be the last to know, but why is it always me?

I'll exchange it with a paper mug. Lighter and won't break too! 
There is some white cloud floating on the blue sky. That's the landscape I like.

I have VERY limited Linux experience but want to load a distro on one of our unused PC's.
Irrespective of size, what is the best, stable, most-hassle-free distro you would recommend?

I'd suggest Mandriva. Try the 2009 "One" edition 1st. This can be initially run from CD without installing (which you can do later) and includes excellent h/ware support.
The Free edition removes a number of useful closed source eg Nvidia drivers, but includes more other stuff eg developer tools, but you can add these to the One edition later anyway (if you decided to install it)

I've been using Ubuntu lately, because it's 64 bit and it has a lot of eye candy. If there was a 64 bit version of Linux Mint 6, I'd switch.
Also, don't burn CD's to install. Just use Unetbootin to install to hard disk and/or flash pen. That makes it easier to test different distros without polluting the environment. I never tried Mandriva. I once tried PcLinuxOs and it felt like Windows.

Ubuntu is the only distro that I've ever worked with and it's been a pleasant experience so far. These days it seems to be the most popular, rapid growing and well supported of all. You might also spend 30 minutes reading about the major distros on www.distrowatch.com.
Insert funny quote here.

It depends on what you want to use it for, but I would suggest PcLinuxOs or FedoraCore 10 or OpenSuse 11. Also, depending on what you want to do, it might be beneficial for you to choose a different desktop engine/provider/[insert proper name]. For development, I like KDE best.

I've never heard of the onion news network but wow, what lengths do they go to to create these videos?
I actually believed it's a genuine product until I saw how it worked. "Everything is just a few hundred clicks away!"

Here[^] and he's not well.

And your point would be?
It's nice to see a CEO who is straightforward with customers and stockholders alike, and I wish him well in his recovery.
With luck, his illness will cause him to re-evaluate his life, and lead him to put on some nice concerts like his former partner did for us way back when.

I agree with you.
He's honest enough (in this letter) to his people and customers (no beating around the bush).
A designer knows he has achieved perfection
not when there is nothing left to add
but when there is nothing left to take away

Nobody is 100% honest to the public.
Probably he just tell some things to keep the crowd firendly and keep his real health for himself.

(This is my feeble attempt at helping out John and his desire for a flurry of posts)
Why do so many people devote so much time in to propogating the lie of Santa Claus? Each year even the TV weather reporters talk about the weather in terms of how it will effect Santas planned flight path.
Imagine if all that energy was put towards something true and useful, like actually helping people, or writing cool software, or knitting. Heck even volunteering as a part time head basher for brick wall testing would be better.
Bah humbug.

what is this 10% you talk of? I'm genuinely interested in knowing because I don't watch TV as I have a very low opinion of it and the trash they broadcast.

It's a tradition. Our parents lied to us, their parents lied to them; the government has always lied to all of us. It's important to any culture to preserve traditions like this, and the Easter Bunny has some very strong opinions on the matter, as well. The Tooth Fairy is waffling, but she'll come around soon, I'm sure. Leave it alone, or the critters under the bed will be having a talk with you one night soon.

Thanks for setting me straight Roger, I appreciate it.
And I think the tooth fairy might become a desirable profession soon, if they start using the stem cells from baby teeth.
