I've been using Ubuntu as my primary OS for almost a year now and have been loving it. I've been using the beta of Dapper Drake on a test box at work for quite some time now and have had zero problems. I look forward to upgrading my boxen at home.

Imagine being able to upgrade from XP to Vista by just using a program that downloads the files and upgrades your system for free. With Ubuntu, I can. :)

"My own observations have caused me to theorize that stupidity doesn't prefer any religion or a lack thereof."

well, I've been 30 for a couple of weeks now, and I really don't see what the big deal is. I don't feel any different. Am I supposed to?

A few things happening here and there

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by
saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"My God!!!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as
the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
