Someone (warped23) posting on this story on Slashdot left a killer comment. The poster will probably get modded down since this thread has turned into a “my distro is better than your distro” and fact-checking free-for-all, but it sums up nicely what Linux maniacs are unwilling to acknowledge: Linux, to the average user, in inaccessible.

Jeb Bush seems to be leading the cause if you can’t. Come on Florida, you already have your own tag on Fark, what else do you need? You own Darwin-style award?
…if you think American soldiers are like Nazis, you’re a fucking idiot. Sorry, you needed a reality check.
First clue. It isn’t on TV. It’s Systm. Kevin Rose and Dan Huard, two refugees from the long lamented TechTV, have started Systm. They are also thebroken. System is a videoblog on steroids, television without commercials. It’s tech for tech heads and newbies alike. In short, it’s what TechTV used to be; ground breaking but […]
This is the best way, short of a kettle full of oil, to make popcorn. You will need: 1 sandwich-size paper bag 3 Tbl Popcorn 1 Tbl Olive Oil 1 Staple Put the popcorn and oil into the paper bag. Add salt if you want. Fold the bag over once, staple shut. Microwave for 1:30-2 […]
My musical tastes are kind of odd. I’ve been working through about 6 gigs of SXSW music off and on for a while, but I’m firmly rooted in a lot of corporate rock. Having spent a lot of time with ex-pat Brits/Scots in college, I became completely addicted to Oasis. Now that your revulsion has […]

Ethan, we condemn Microsoft for making a monetary decision, but we’re not willing to examine our own buying habits, and […]
Jason Calacanis was detailing his new regimine for weight loss and mentioned Chana Dal. He linked to Bob’s Red Mill (which makes the best Wheat Bran) where you can order this stuff. Anyone ever had this? I’ll probably try this anyway, but I’m curious since I’m guessing Kroger or Meijer’s doesn’t carry this particular Bob’s […]
Because this country can’t be distracted enough, the Terri Schiavo autopsy is big news today. Apparently, baffling dozens of experts and hundreds of pundits, Shiavo’s brain was found to be half the size as normal for a woman her age. She was also blind. There was also no morphine in her system, which her parents […]
Hat tip to Stupid Evil Bastard for this one. Seems Rep Steny H Hoyer (D-MD) introduced this bill, calling for Congress to repeal the 22nd Amendment (that would be the 2-term limits for Presidents). The comments when he introduced the bill are even better [Quoting Alexander Hamilton] We do not have to rely on rigid […]
