Linux will never be fully desktop friendly for newbies until it loses some of the geek appeal. For example, for me to print I have to replace the "lpr", "lp0" or "generic printer" with the magic phrase "kprinter_wrap.sh". This is the sort of thing that pisses off my mother, my kids, my mother-in-law, and they all say why the f#(& did you nuke windo$e and put this s%!& on the computer.

What, no topic area for pets or dogs? So I guess the dog is a toy. How do I get him to poop and pee where I want in the back yard and not where he wants to, dammit?
