Its “Linux Week” at Crunch Gear? I do not see a single device or gadget ( also known as “Gear” ) featured that runs Linux. WTF?

Suggestion have more Linux powered gear for CrunchGear’s “Linux Week”. KTHXBAI

LOL. “So do you wanna go to a party or should we just sit around here talking about each other’s shirts?”

The single most retarded thing I have ever seen, and I have been using the Internet for a long, long time!

Heh. Guess you need to have been there to appreciate it. Especially for those from across the big blue pond, the humor has a Finish touch. I can imagine it’s not something one can easily understand or appreciate. Now back to testing ext4 and encrypted partitions on Fedora 9. W00t!
