Give people two sides of a fence to stand on and I'll give you a war
__________________The same old overly patriotic, xenophobic garbage people apply to any self-identifying decision Sorry, that was cynnical. But it's true. So many people can't separate their opinion from their religion. And if you think about it for one second, it's utterly absurd that people choose to identify with one ideology to the point of ignorance to other ideas. Blindly, without shame, and in fact, with great pride. It's a sad characteristic of our race. (see: sports, religion, politics, racism)

But who knows what is running under the hood of my DVR, PS3, Cable modem, Toaster (hey it's a pretty nice toaster ok?) etc. I like using linux when someone smarter than me has tweaked and modded it for one specific function and worked all the bugs out. Rockbox and DDWRT are great examples of Linux made to be a tool for the above average user. I think my favorite implementations are on devices that are very basic and increase functionality over the standard OS.

"Troll" and "Fanboy"...., a rose by any other name...
What does it matter what name is used, as long as it gets the point across?
