Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat... Great song. My band covers it.

That's really good. Had me singing it by halfway through the lyrics. Nice!

I'm beginning to see how it was that my use of meme got you going. Had no idea there was all this background... well I suppose I can avoid using it... wasn't attached to it anyway, just a convenience... and "gossip" has the additional benefit of a breathless and vaguely scandalous tone, which seems to attach to much of the anti-{the_other_computer} commentary here.

Had no idea -- I don't read D.U. Tried a few years ago, got so bored and grossed out that I figured I'd actually stumbled upon a parody of same. But no.......

You may yet convince me.
Actually, I agree. A lot of this is the usual juvenile "Marvel is better than DC", or "Ruth is better than Aaron" (Ruth is better than Aaron, but I'm not starting that one.) I have a Mac, I have a Red Hat and an Ubuntu, box and 4 different Windows boxes in addition to about two dozen hand-helds I have to support. What I really need is for a thread that flames on KVMs so I can get some decent recommendations. I've never had one I really like and the latest eight-way was murder ($). I code for money and there's a, uh, customer, born every minute.
Mars Hotel is, in my opinion the most underrated Dead Album. The fact that it and Allman Brothers Band Live at Fillmore East got me through a bitter divorce and my Candidacy Exam probably colors my judgment. Ex-physicists turned computer geeks must stick together, especially right wing ones.
