Bill Gates Last Day Of Work Video This is pretty funny, even if you think that the man is a lying, manipulating sack of insert your favorite noun here.

When I bought this laptop, the one thing that I knew about it is that the graphics would not work quite as well as I would want them to, because of the graphics card in my system—an ATI branded card. When it comes to graphics cards, NVIDIA cards are about the best, with Intel graphics [...]

The Pidgin project that Neatchee and I have been working on has ended; it has been superceded by a project to handle ports, backports, contributed source packages, and testing packages for Ubuntu. We intend on trying to build out this effort such that we can use it to extensively test the subset of packages that [...]

… should never have crossed with the idea of “turning tricks”… … all of this from Erica, though she probably won’t post about it. *shudder*

Of the laundry list of issues that I used to have (and didn’t realize that I had) when I was using Thunderbird before, all of them have been fixed, save for one—selective quoting of replies still isn’t there, where you can highlight a part of a message and when you press “Reply” that’s the only [...]

Because I could never do their job. They are so… annoying, with their excessive façade of happiness and their overly verbose ways of saying things…
