Sorry AC but:

Capitol is a building in DC. Or are you referring to pwned politicians?

Capital is a city like DC or financial assets. Can be used to pwn politicians.

No one has posted a car analogy... Oh wait.

Now I know what the Block Images button is for.

In the private system, I saw my doctor, who never looked in my eyes since she was too busy looking in a laptop. No paper chart at the exam just the laptop with info dating from the start of the new electronic system.

Went to a specialist (on of the most respected in his field). Staring in a laptop he bluffed his way through the $200 exam and told me he could not have performed the surgery in 2005 it had to be 2007. All of this is in the paper chart, which he could understand because he MADE IT HIS WAY. The jokers in charge of this project are on the other side of the continent and even handle the billing for the locals.

Someone is behind on data entry for the histoical charts, but then who can read a Dr's handwriting...

IMHO that sums it up, we can all stop posting now. Both KDE and Gmoan have made my setup unusable when upgraded. Always feels like a downgrade to me.

Now Flux: It has a nice menu that I can edit in xterm with my favorite text editor. It does NOT have a bunch of junk cluttering the screen like a desktop to annoy my ancient eyes.

For some reason anything I install just works[tm].

I won't read all the posts.

When I enlarge fonts so I can actually see the page the left margin and several characters disappear underneath the left navigation idiot thingy.

Never liked stale horses.

Are later kernel versions better?

Well in the 2.6.35 kernels there is a bug in the E1000 drivers that make running ethernet impossible. The 'demo' churned and churned but would not connect. No point in trying to replace 9.10 with it.

I'm running 2.6.36-rc7 in my main gentoo install. When I first ran into the problem I had to backtrack to 2.6.34 if I wanted reliable networking. Apparently the fixes have not been back ported to 2.6.35.

I've already had the experience of sorting that out and have better things to do than figure out what's wrong with yet another ubuntu quick release.

Punched cards didn't use ASCII. Most of the bazillions of them were converted to EBCIDIC when read.

my preference is the kid's phone, it rings when you hit the keys, like when it's in your pocket. answer it and make an excuse to leave the truly boring...

I had to scan and repair about 1000 floppies and write a memo about not taking your work home. The IT manager did not believe that virii existed. Discovered it by looking at the boot sector with debug. The text string:"your PC is stoned", showed up. F-prot saved the day. That particular version of Stoned had a bug which would trash part of the root directory.
