ps linux doesn't make your penis larger
Yep, Gentoo is the r0x0rz

P.S. the pic shows up fine for me. hrmmmm, hold on a sec.

P.S.S. Linux dosent make your penis larger, only surgery and the pills advertised on the internet do.

ETA: found out what it was. The freeweb service makes me put the file extension in all caps. i forgot to do that for this post.
Bring me all the bagel and muffins in the land, for tonight we drink from the keg of victory.

Sam is right. Any linux user should already be in the habit of knowing case specifics. Even newbie users.
I really love CS:GO's 64 tick servers.

Chill out, you guys.

Sam - Don't make a snap judgement on a moment of absent-mindedness. This is the kind of stuff that starts the enmity that got this place shut down last year.

x5060 - Don't take it too personally. I know you have mad computer skills, and one person's remark doesn't change that.

Now, back to Desktop posting. (I'm not posting mine because it's annoying default because my stepdad is paranoid.)

Hmm, what is your dad paranoid about? Is he scared of those nasty JPEG viruses and won't let you have any JPEG pictures at all on your computer? OMG, there are JPEGs on THIS VERY PAGE! You are infected!

Oh well, you could always just use a PNG as your background, but wait! Oh no, PNGs are horrible and the carrier of evil trojans! Ho even used a PNG for the IndyDDR logo! HO IS TRYING TO INFECT OUR COMPUTERS WITH TROJANS! BREAK OUT THE PITCHFORKS AS IT'S TIME FOR A LYNCHIN' OF THAT SNEAKY MAN!!

What's an image lover supposed to do? How do I, as a security-conscious computer user, give myself peace of mind without computing exclusively in text through a console? Well, the answer is simple: disable all images except GIF. Yes, there are other image formats out there, but no one cares about them. Your stepdad will be happy to know that to my knowledge, and there isn't any other knowledge worth counting on, there are no current GIF exploits out there, with the exception of annoying animated GIFs.

If you buy my book entitled "How to Disable All Images Except GIFs Using 58475353 Simple Regristry Hacks and System File Modifications" you'll get all of the information you need to finally convince your stepdad to let you put a wallpaper image on your desktop.

Here's the desktop on my new iBook. Bebop Triliero (my old G3 with the blue Spike background) had a nice logicboard failure and died.

If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.
