The pigeons seems to do just fine in NYC, I imagine the robins aren't as
bad off as you state. You seem to be more concerned with a little robin
dropping dead than my freedom to "choose" what kind of car I want to
drive. Besides you have plenty of rats and roaches and who is to say a
roach is not =3D to a robin in value, more roaches, less robins, seems
just fine.

I know that I am cheap and easy. That is one among the consequences of
the latest fashion known as the outsourcing. In 1998. in NYC, I was
able to get $120/hr. Fortunately for us, the sight of two guys kissing
seems to be more appalling and important then the fact that our salaries
have been falling like .... well, like a rock (my apologies to Buddy
Holly=20
and Chevy). It's a painful topic which I prefer not to discuss any
further=20
on this list.
As far as hybrids are concerned, my next car is definitely going to be
one.
I really hate those large gas guzzling fu-mobiles (like Hummer) in which
you
can enjoy the sight of little red robin choking in gas fumes in your=20
rearview mirror. Birds are dropping from the air as you drive. 40
gallons=20
of 93 octane - $100. Hummer - $80.000. The sight of the environment
withering
and dieing in your rearview mirror - priceless. Some things in life are
priceless,
for everything else there is MasterCard (TM).

As for Linux, it is so much Unix-like that everything you know about
Unix will hold true on Linux. As a matter of fact, Linux is more
Unix-like=20
then AIX. If you are Unix oriented site, then there is nothing to think
about:
the answer to the question "where do you want to go today" is "to
www.redhat.com".
Anywhere but Redmond, WA. As for the anecdotes, I don't have any. Linux
has
seldomly given me anything to talk about. In fact, it is boring. It just
works.
As for my political leanings and beliefs, I will not reveal those on
this
forum.
