yeah I know. But IMO it's that boys like computers and boys are
icky. Therefore computers are icky.

Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty

are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded

encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.

And how do you uninstall if you have made a mistake?

I allways use terminal, but especialy for configuration: I think that it
is one big power of *nix system to be able to master a lot of config

because they cannot use terminal and/or their system uses binary config
files...

If it's a desktop system, maybe it could run in a VM?

Though we're treading damn close right now. Homophobia is sometimes the

Blah blah blah pablum. Won't anyone stand up and say, "I'm a

I imagine the reverse is true too.

The local news carried a story the other day about a school that was
hypeing diversity, and they instructed the kids to make T-shirts with
anti-homophobe sayings to participate. Some sharp little cookies came
up with "Homophobia is Gay". They were told to change since that
would be considered a disparaging comment under the present regime.

I'm not making this up. Nicely done t's too, silkscreened, with
sparkles.

Yo baloo.
