do you plan to run Linux on any of your future boxen

Open source forever!!!
f1r5t p05t!!!@!

That's actually a good question. As many of you know, I'll be majoring in computer science at Case Western Reserve University, and therefore I'll be expected to learn a good bit of *nix. I also really support the ideals of the open source community. It's certainly possible that there will be linux installed on a computer I own at some point. Right now, though, Win2K Pro is the OS for me, with a dual-boot back into 98SE for some games.

How does it feel to be the pimping-est poo-bah in the wild wooly web?

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll take it that you're asking me what it's like to run flipse.com. The short answer to that is that it's very sexually satisfying.

Why are my contacts falling out?
Why is IRC so addictive?
Are you an organ donor? If not, why not?
Do you like green eggs and ham?

Your contacts are falling out because you've been addicted to IRC too long, and the staring at the screen is making your eyes dry. IRC is so addictive because it so nicely offers you the chance to hang out with a group and be totally alone at the same time, the best of both worlds. I'm not an organ donor according to my license, because my dad wasn't with me when I got it and I was under 18 at the time. I really dig eggs, not sure about the green ones. Ham is kinda cool, but I'd prefer bacon or beef.

What is the Air Speed Velocity of an UNLADEN swallow ?

Second question first. Yes. Third question second. No, it's beyond my powers of explaining things. First question third. It all depends on your perspective. If you happen to be on a Voyager Space Probe going away from Earth at 10,000 miles per hour, the sparrow is moving at right about 10,000MPH relative to you. Last question last. What Tom does with sparrows on his own time, that's his own thing.

Have to agree with the second poster here. I furthermore hear that they don't go well because they can never remember which one is the bigger ass.

Why does Rich suck so much?

He has about 340954 siblings, so he rarely gets any food. This creates a huge vaccum in his stomach. Alternate answer is that he's from Indiana.

Sam told me there are little buses with even smaller people inside my computer, should I feed them, are they gonna eat me?

No no, they're friendly people, but I totally recommend feeding them. In fact, I bet they're thirsty. Maybe if you lay off the booze a little bit and just pour some of that into the back of the computer, we'll see if that makes the people in the busses happy.

Oily Discharge Question (Score:1, Gross)

Anonymous Coward? I'm not an anonymous coward? Hey Flipse...I'm wondering. Why do TV advertisements tell you the gross side effects of the medicine they're trying to sell (ie-gas with oily discharge (wtf is that?!))?

I think the FDA pretty much makes them do that. The funny thing is that there's apparently no one at the FDA who makes them mention the (presumably) positive intended effects of the medicine. It's just like "Go ask your doctor if Propecix if right for you" and I'm such a sucker for advertising that I'm all like "Daaaaaad, is Propecix right for me?" But anyway, yah.

Funny thing about there being a shortage of HottChiXs around here lately. Must be lunch break.
