And when the time comes to replace the O2 I have today, maybe my next machine will run Linux.

Is the square root of hate the same thing as love times love?

I follow the rules until I go against them all.

Classism and greed are making insignificant all the other kinds of isms.

Many do with opportunities as children do at the seashore; they fill their little hands with sand, and then let the grains fall through, one by one, till all are gone.
