The web page took my order for a boxed set. Got a nice plush
pipe-smoking penguin, a bumper sticker and a T-shirt as well.

Slackware 10.0 is the *real* OS X.
All the other operating systems use old recycled ones and zeros
with scuff marks, cracks, and other damage, but Slackware Linux
uses only 100% extra-virgin bits. If you have ever had a zero
bit crack in half and jam the pipeline in your Xeon processor,
you know how important it is to only use fresh bits. Also,
Slackware uses a special bit lube that lets the bits slide in
and out of those tiny little bit storage cells that you see in
modern RAM chips.

....and you can quote me on that!

Curious. How long was it from the time that 9.0 came out that 9.1 was
released?

Hard to tell from:
http://www.slackware.com/changelog/stable.php?cpu=i386

or did I look in the wrong place?

I almost reamed you for neglecting the C&C warning, then I remembered I
was already done reading NANAE.

Damned funny tho.

Do you think it's funny enough to be a mod quote?

(I gave someone a perfect setup for a followup joke with the
"bit lube" and "slide in and out" parts...)

Definitely. 'Course that may or may not mean all that much depending on
the going exchange rate on my opinion.

I was choking too hard to make any comebacks.

Yeah really, if someone is going to pick a fight on Internet, THIS is
no place to expect to win it. Too bad the shattered corpses of the
past don't stack up for such losers to see.
