I personally feel that Gmail is a rude and innappropriate pun on all the G-style chrome-rapper-ghetto-music culture. That's just not right, especially for Google since they have an IPO coming up.
Here in Maine, most of us don't care for "Gs". Let's keep it that way.

This is Slashdot. We are all set if and only if that IM is Jabber based and the client can run on *IX, GNU/Linux, *BSD...

Given the bright minds over there, I have to wonder. Unfortunately for me, I don't think I'd qualify for even a junior janitor trainee position at their offices (I think he's doing particle physics research in his spare time).

a) he has my dream job
b) he defined what my dream job would be
c) he thought of cool stuff before me
d) he has more stuff than me
I don't mind Bill Gates much despite his money because his company and his ideas are mundane and never very exciting. Oh sure, I'd like to have a mountain fortress with helipads and scuba tunnels, and I guess it would have been OK if I'd come up with the Windows oses, but really I could take or leave it.
Ditto Linus Torvalds. He has the opposite problem. He has neat ideas, but, no offense Linus (I know he is reading this), not exactly a dream job. I am only mildly envious of him. Larry Ellison I am also slightly envious of because of his crazy samurai stuff but due to his crazy samurai brain I don't think I'd want to be him.
No, as far as being others goes, I'll take Sergey Brin and his unique name and mysterious heritage and brilliant smile and rugged good looks and cool job and money.
That bastard.
