    I love Law and Order.

    That was such a beautiful episode, almost as beautiful as Jack McCoy's blonde assistant (Sabrina I think...).

    A wonderful touch to an otherwise gray an dreery day.

    Oh how I wish there was more Law and Order on, SUV and CI just aren't as good as the orginal.

    How I wish I could ruin my life for the sake of ethics, a living martyrdom (don't know why, but I'm feeling romantic today).

    Had a very angry bus driver this morning. Swearing, complaining, being rude. Kinda scary.

    That's what I'm doing, trust me. The third part of the conference was about virtualization for servers... It was bad enough that I had seen a VMWare conference just two weeks ago, so it was VMWare, take two, or in my case, See No Evil. The movie completly pwns, by the way. I dig the scene where Kane shoves a girl's cellphone down her throat... :evil:

    They gave us betas of Office 2007 that expire next february... and told us to go download Vista, which is "just" 3 GB. Hell, that's three months of bandwith with my ISP!

    Microsoft... I'm pissing on you. IE 7 looks strangely like Firefox, and the "side bar" in Vista is an obvious Mac OS X ripoff.

    Long-live open-source! Do yourself a favor, piss on Microsoft and give Linux a shot. And if gaming worries you... emulate Windows in Linux!

    I wouldn't even know where to get a Linux, let alone know what to do with one if I had one.

    Where to get: Download it, DUH!
    What to do: Install it, and screw M$ of 150$, DUH.

    Linux is actually a great OS, Caveboy. It's a bit head-scratching at first, but once you get used to the basics, it's truly a Windows-killer. It doesen't do games, but like I said, emulate Win if you game.

    Where? Linux.com?
    Install? How would I use Windows to install something that gets rid of Windows? Wouldn't it somehow implode halfway through?

    More jargon I don't understand. I like my life to be simple.

    And where does the $150 come from? How does installing a Linux steal $150 from Microsoft?

    Actually this all probably belongs in Techno Magic......

    Google "Linux Download", you dummy! And as for installing it, did you already heard of something called "hard drive partitioning"? That's separating your hard drive in smaller pieces. Install Win on a partition, and Linux on the other.

    The 150$ is more money in your pockets because Linux is entirely free. And basically, emulating Windows is like running Windows inside Linux, sort of like a virtual machine. Now that I think of it, better leave it there, I smell something burning.

    Looks like it's gonna be me...
