I think you used the wrong fonts. The monitor bit is a little silly, too.

Today, I heard a kid describing how a text can trigger an alarm if you lose your phone. Another kid says: "So it overrides the system?"

@Shivoa: @Arkasai: Well, at least I can stop wasting my hate on the streaming companies and put my hate back where it belongs: in Hollywood. Thanks for redirecting the hate!

@LtSquigs: But in the case of Netflix, they did make Linux plugins for a market that has to be smaller than desktop Linux (streaming boxes).

Linux (Ubuntu specifically) is great and all. I mean it. It's got the right mix of functionality on the one hand (Chromium, Eclipse, etc.) and complexity on the other (installing software packages through the terminal, all those useful console commands, etc.).What I don't get is the stupid DRM-based video streaming that doesn't work, and why? Netflix doesn't work, even though Silverlight has an open source equivalent and Netflix runs on ...

I'm alternating between The Federalist Papers and Fool Me Twice: Fighting the Assault on Science in America. The first is the collection of essays put in a New York newspaper by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay during the ratification of the US Constitution. This might seem like the kind of book to be skipped, because "everyone knows what's in the Constitution, right?", but these three famous Americans actually ...

@Anthony said:My Casablanca HD DVD is in full screen since that's how it was filmed and meant to be presented.
